Mill. cv. Goutou is an edible and medicinal fruit whose development significantly impacts the metabolism and accumulation of nutrients and is regulated by plant hormones. In this study, the metal element and triterpene acid content were investigated and transcriptomic analyses were conducted to evaluate changes in seven ripening stages (Stages I-VII) of Mill. cv. Goutou. We first analyzed seven metal elements and found that the concentrations of Magnesium (Mg), Aluminum (Al), Calcium (Ca), Manganese (Mn), and Cuprum (Cu) were highest at Stage I; in comparison, the concentrations of Zinc (Zn) and Ferrum (Fe) were highest at Stage IV. Additionally, three triterpene acids were detected in the fruits, with the contents of betulinic acid and oleanolic acid being highest at Stage VII and that of ursolic acid being highest at Stage I. Subsequently, through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) annotations, we identified 40, 18, 9, 6, and 11 differentially expressed genes involved in the auxin, abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, gibberellic acid (GA), and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathways, respectively. Notably, genes associated with ABA, including , , , , , , , , and , were downregulated from Stage I to Stage VII. Conversely, the expression of in the ethylene signaling pathway was the highest at Stage VII. , a JA signaling pathway gene, was significantly induced at Stage I compared to in the other stages. The genes and , related to GA, exhibited the highest expression levels at Stage VI.

Background: The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for accurate staging and prognosis for esophageal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ELN count on pathologic staging and survival outcomes and to develop a predictive model for lymph node positivity in this patient population.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and a multicenter cohort.

Background: In tackle-collision sports, the tackle has the highest incidence, severity, and burden of injury. Head injuries and concussions during the tackle are a major concern within tackle-collision sports. To reduce concussion and head impact risk, evaluating optimal tackle techniques to inform tackle-related prevention strategies has been recommended.

Background: Carotid artery stenosis is a major cause of stroke. Non-contrast MR angiography (MRA) using time-spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time-SLIP) may offer potential advantages over 3D time-of-flight (TOF)-MRA for simultaneous visualization of carotid, vertebral, and subclavian arteries, but remains uninvestigated.
Purpose: To determine optimal black blood inversion time (TI) for visualizing the carotid and subclavian arteries using three-dimensional (3D) fast field echo (FFE) Time-SLIP MRA, and to compare its image quality with 3D TOF-MRA.

Development of dental caries is a dynamic process; yet, there is limited knowledge on microbial differences at various stages of caries at higher resolution. To investigate the shifting microbiome profiles across different caries stages, 30 children were enrolled in this study, including 15 caries-active patients and 15 caries-free individuals. Plaque samples were collected from the buccal surface of caries-free subjects, defined as confident health (CH; = 15).

Objective: The risk of lymph node metastasis significantly influences the choice of surgical strategy for patients with early-stage endometrial cancer. While sentinel lymph node dissection can be considered in clinically early-stage endometrial cancer, lymph node evaluation might be omitted in patients with very low risk of lymph node metastasis. This study aims to develop a predicting model for lymph node metastasis in these patients, identifying potential metastases as thoroughly as possible to provide clinicians with a preoperative reference that helps in decisions about surgical procedures and treatments.
