Influence of six teaching methods on critical thinking ability of nursing students: a protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Introduction: To enhance nursing students' critical thinking abilities, numerous educators have explored alternative teaching methods. While meta-analyses have confirmed that various approaches are effective in developing critical thinking, consensus regarding their comparative effectiveness remains elusive. Furthermore, few investigations have directly contrasted the outcomes across these methods, highlighting the necessity to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of their impact on nursing students' critical thinking skills.

[Response of Carbon Storage Evolution to Future Climate and Policy at the Basin Scale].

In this study, we explored the impact of land-use changes on carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems from a watershed perspective under the backdrop of "carbon peak and neutrality." This will provide robust support for scientific decision-making and the sustainable development of integrated watershed management. Watershed ecosystems encompass natural, social, and economic dimensions and are crucial for improving regional ecological quality and ensuring sustainable development.

A comprehensive evaluation of circ_0065214/ miR-188-3p/GPNMB axis in breast cancer.

CircRNAs are involved in multiple aspects during carcinogenesis, including tumorigenesis, vascularization, apoptosis and others. Exploring the role of circRNAs in breast cancer (BC) enables us to understand the development mechanism of BC more comprehensively. Here, we screened out and verified an up-regulated circRNA in BC from GEO data.

Exosomal miR-1910-3p promotes proliferation, metastasis, and autophagy of breast cancer cells by targeting MTMR3 and activating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Exosomes are key mediators of intercellular communication and play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of cancer. Exosomes in circulating body fluids serve as molecular markers for cancer diagnosis. This study aimed to investigate the role of exosomal microRNA (miR)-1910-3p in breast cancer and determine its clinical diagnostic value.

Reversible acetylation of Lin28 mediated by PCAF and SIRT1.

Lin28 is a small RNA-binding protein that plays an important role in regulating developmental timing, stem cell reprogramming, and oncogenesis. However, the significance of the effect of post-translational modifications on Lin28 activity is not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrated that PCAF directly interacted with and acetylated Lin28.

[Identification of genes related to resistance to Magnaporthe grisea using differential display technique in rice].

Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe grisea is one of the most serious constraints on high productivity. Understanding the mechanism of the infection of Magnaporthe grisea and the change of gene expression after infection is useful to control blast disease in rice. This work presents the isolation of differentially expressed cDNA fragments from rice leaf induced by the inoculum suspension of Magnaporthe grisea using mRNA differential display technique.

[Study on transgenic elite indica container line D297B containing foreign insect-resistant gene gna].

It was reported in this article that the transgenic elite indica container line D297B containing snowdrop lectin (Galanthus nivalis agglutinin, GNA) gene gna was obtained by biolisties. PCR, Southern blotting and Western blotting indicated that the transgenes were integrated into the genome of D297B and expressed in transgenic plants. Analysis of protein activity showed that product of transgene had activity of agglutinin.

[Molecular mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for characters of vascular bundles in peduncle related to indica-japonica differentiation in rice (Oryza sativa L.)].

A doubled-haploid population, consisting of 81 DH lines derived from the F1 hybrid of a cross between an indica cultivar and a japonica cultivar, was used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling numbers of vascular bundles in peduncle, primary rachis branches and the ratio of vascular bundles to primary rachis branches (V/R ratio). For vascular bundles, three QTL were detected. Among them, the QTL qVB-8 with the largest effect individually accounted for 31.
