The impact of export shocks on child health: evidence from China.

Background: Amidst sluggish global economic growth and rising anti-globalization sentiments, it has become imperative to reassess the benefits and hidden costs of globalization. Simultaneously, with the fading of the "demographic dividend" and the intensification of population aging, understanding children's health and its underlying determinants is crucial for sustainable socio-economic development. China provides an ideal case for examining these issues.

m A promotes planarian regeneration.

Regeneration is the regrowth of damaged tissues or organs, a vital process in response to damages from primitive organisms to higher mammals. Planarian possesses active whole-body regenerative capability owing to its vast reservoir of adult stem cells, neoblasts, providing an ideal model to delineate the underlying mechanisms for regeneration. RNA N -methyladenosine (m A) modification participates in many biological processes, including stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, in particular the regeneration of haematopoietic stem cells and axons.

Design, synthesis, anti-inflammatory activity, and molecular docking studies of perimidine derivatives containing triazole.

We report here the design, synthesis, and anti-inflammatory activities of a series of perimidine derivatives containing triazole (5a-s). The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds have been assigned on the basis of IR, H NMR, C NMR, and HRMS spectral analyses. The anti-inflammatory properties of the synthesized perimidine derivatives were evaluated in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated inflammation model.

[Effect of electroacupuncture on plasma endogenous endothelial progenitor cell counts in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats].

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on peripheral blood endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) counts, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level and total nitric oxide synthase (TNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CI/RI) rats.

Methods: A total of 72 male rats were randomly and evenly assigned to normal control, sham-operation (sham), model and EA groups which were further divided into 24 h, 48 h and 72 h subgroups, with 6 cases in each. Acute focal cerebral ischemia model was established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO, 120 min) and reperfusion.

[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.

[Identification and analysis of F2 stable population derived from the cross of triploid x diploid in rice].

Polyploid strain 149-B, that was generated naturally from a rice twin-seedling population SAR-2, has been determined as triploid (2n = 36). It was then used as the female parent crossing with a normal diploid variety SH R363. From its F2 generation we obtained a genetic-stable population.
