RNAi-based genetically modified maize resistant to Monolepta hieroglyphica (Motschulsky) was demonstrated with negligible transcriptome and metabolome alterations compared to its unmodified equivalent. As one of the most prevalent insect pests afflicting various crops, Monolepta hieroglyphica (Motschulsky) causes severe loss of agricultural and economic productivity for many years in China. In an effort to reduce damages, in this study, an RNA interference (RNAi)-based genetically modified (GM) maize was developed. It was engineered to produce MhSnf7 double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), which can suppress the Snf7 gene expression and then lead M. hieroglyphica to death. Field trail analysis confirmed the robustly insecticidal ability of the MhSnf7 GM maize to resist damages by M. hieroglyphica. Linsitinib mw RNA sequencing analysis identified that only one gene was differentially expressed in the MhSnf7 GM maize compared to non-GM maize, indicating that the transcriptome in MhSnf7 GM maize is principally unaffected by the intrNAi-based GM maize, but also could be used as a reference for evaluating the unintended effect of GM crops.
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) has a poor prognosis, and surgery remains the only effective treatment. However, tumor recurrence after primary hepatectomy is common. We examined the significance of repeat surgery for IHCC.
We collected data for all patients with IHCC between 1992 and 2018 (n = 67) in our database. Fifty-three (79.1%) of all 67 patients experienced recurrence after primary hepatectomy and we analyzed data for those 53 recurrent patients. We divided recurrent patients into a repeat surgery group (n = 9), chemotherapy group (n = 19), and best supportive care group (n = 25). We analyzed differences in patients' clinicopathological factors, including prognosis, between the three groups.
The IHCC recurrence rate after hepatectomy in our institution was 79.1%. Of the 53 patients with recurrence, nine underwent repeat surgery (17.0%). The characteristics of the patients undergoing repeat surgery was lower stage at primary hepatectomy. Recurrence sites in the repeat surgery group were liver (n = 6), lung (n = 2), and adrenal gland (n = 1), as a single nodule. The period between primary hepatectomy and recurrence was comparatively longer in the repeat surgery group, at 1.8years. The prognosis in patients undergoing repeat surgery was significantly better compared with the other groups. Not undergoing repeat surgery (hazard ratio 5.506; p = 0.0077) and positive lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio 2.207; p = 0.0242) were independent poor prognostic factors.
Repeat surgery should be considered in patients with IHCC with a single recurrence site and negative lymph node metastasis at primary surgery and at least more than 6months of disease-free period after primary surgery.

One hundred extracted third molar teeth were randomly divided into 10 experimental groups according to dentin surface treatments; with and without the bonding agent, NdYAG 302 J/cm2 and 440 J/cm2, femtosecond 4 J/cm2 and 7 J/cm2, and control groups were prepared. After surface treatments, a self-adhesive resin cement was luted by using a bonding jig (Ultradent Products Inc.). The specimens were then subjected to shear test at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min, and failure loads were recorded as megapascal (MPa). Two-way analysis of variance and Tukey HSD tests were performed (p ˂ 0.05). Representative specimens from each experimental subgroup were examined by means of SEM. The highest SBS values were obtained in Group 302 J/cm2 NdYAG with bonding agent, and there is no statistical difference between Group 440 J/cm2 NdYAG with bonding and Group 7 J/cm2 femtosecond with bonding (p > 0.05). The lowest SBS values were observed in Group control without bonding agent. NdYAG and femtosecond laser treatments improved the adhesion between the dentin surface and the self-adhesive resin cement.
Psychoeducation (PE) for bipolar disorder (BD) has a first-line recommendation for the maintenance treatment phase of BD. Formats vary greatly in the number of sessions, whether offered individually or in a group, and with or without caregivers attending. Due to a large variation in formats in the Netherlands, a new program was developed and implemented in 17 outpatient clinics throughout the country. The current study investigated the feasibility of a newly developed 12-sessions PE group program for patients with BD and their caregivers in routine outpatient practice and additionally explored its effectiveness.
Participants in the study were 108 patients diagnosed with BD, 88 caregivers and 35 course leaders. Feasibility and acceptance of the program were investigated by measures of attendance, and evaluative questionnaires after session 12. Preliminary treatment effects were investigated by pre- and post-measures on mood symptoms, attitudes towards BD and its treatment, levels of self-management, and lewere promising. After its introduction it has been widely implemented in mental health institutions throughout the Netherlands.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Methylphenidate exposure on mice odontogenesis and connect them by bioinformatics with human odontogenesis. Thirty-two pregnant Swiss mice were divided into treated group and control group, which received, respectively, 5 mg/kg of Methylphenidate and saline solution from the 5th to the 17th day of pregnancy. The mouse embryos tooth germs were analyzed through optical microscopy, and the data collected were analyzed statistically by Fisher's exact test. The presence and similarity of Methylphenidate-associated genes (Pharmgkb database) in both organisms and their interaction with dental development genes (AmiGO2 database) were verified on STRING database. Rates of tooth germ malformations were higher in treated than in control group (Control 18; Treated 27; p = 0.035). Mouse embryo malformations were connected with 238 interactions between 69 dental development genes with 35 Methylphenidate genes. Fourteen interactions for four Methylphenidate genes with four dental development genes, with human experimental data, were connected with mouse phenotype data.
