Al-Kubaisi, Muhammad Elnaggar, Ayman Saleh, Chiara Cugno, Sara Deola

“…Active FVIII (aFVIII) uses its C2 domain to bind to blood cells’ membranes, consequently carrying out its coagulative function. We developed a reliable flow cytometry (FC) method for FVIII detection that can be utilized for assessing surface-bound FVIII on leukocytes in different coagulation/clinical states; we analyzed 49 pediatric subjects, encompassing patients with HA, other coagulopathies, venous thrombosis, and normal coagulation. …”

Three local plants adapt to ecological restoration of abandoned lead-zinc mines through assembly of rhizosphere bacterial communities by Wei Gao, Shuyi Chen, Xin Yu, Sumin Chen, Caijing Wan, Ying Wang, Peng Wu, Qiang Li

“…IntroductionThe plant restoration and ecological restoration of lead-zinc mines are very important.MethodsIn this study, we used three local plants to carry out ecological restoration of abandoned lead–zinc mining areas and detected the adaptive mechanisms of soil bacterial diversity and function during the ecological restoration of lead–zinc mines through 16S rRNA sequencing.ResultsThe results revealed that lead-zinc mining significantly reduced the soil bacterial diversity, including the Shannon, Simpson, and observed species indices, whereas the planting of the three ecological restoration plants restored the soil microbial diversity to a certain extent, leading to increases in the Shannon index and Observed species indices. …”

Flowering characteristics and breeding system of Deutzia parviflora by WANG Qi, LI Jinyu, WANG Xinyi, WANG Yixuan, GUO Wei, YUAN Tao

“…Its flowering type is concentrated flowering, with a group flowering period of 22-23 d and a single flowering period of 8 d, which can be divided into 8 stages. (2) The stigma acceptability at the petal flattening stage was the strongest, and the pollen viability at the stamen expansion stage was the highest. (3) The optimal medium for pollen viability determination was: 100.0 g/L sucrose + 0.3 g/L H3BO3 + 0.2 g/L CaCl2. (4) Pollen can be dried and stored in the short term (within 10 d), at -20 ℃ and -80 ℃ in the medium term (10-30 d), and at -80 ℃ for a long time (more than 30 d). (5) The pollen-ovule ratio of D . parviflora was 23 695.93, the out-crossing index was 3, the fruit setting rate of xenogamy was the highest. …”
