Nonlinear responses of ecosystem carbon fluxes to precipitation change in a semiarid grassland by Hua Chai, Hua Chai, Jianying Ma, Jinwei Zhang, Junqin Li, Bo Meng, Chengliang Wang, Duofeng Pan, Jie Li, Wei Sun, Xuhui Zhou

“…However, how ecosystem C fluxes respond to variability in precipitation (both decreases and increases precipitation along a gradient) remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a three-year field experiment in a semiarid grassland, with six precipitation treatments (precipitation decreased by 70%, 50%, and 30% [P–70%, P–50%, and P–30%], natural precipitation [P+0%], and precipitation increased by 30% and 50% [P+30% and P+50%]) to examine how variations in precipitation influence ecosystem C fluxes, specifically focusing on gross ecosystem productivity (GEP), ecosystem respiration (ER), and net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE). …”

A New Reference Plasmid “pGMT27” Provides an Efficient Transgenic Detection Method for Flue-Cured Tobacco by Jing Yu, Xiaolian Zhang, Muhammad Faheem Adil, Bo Lei, Mengao Jia, Huina Zhao, Shizhou Yu, Jiemin Liu, Yushuang Guo, Imran Haider Shamsi

“…For the detection of genetically modified (GM) tobacco, there is a lack of universal standard material which ultimately limits the detection methods because the accuracy and comparability of the results cannot be ensured. Here, we prepared a reference plasmid “pGMT27” for the detection of GM tobacco, which was 18,296 bp in length harboring two of the tobacco endogenous and seven exogenous genes. …”

Diagnosis and treatment of thyroblastoma: a case report and review of literature by Xiting Chen, Xiting Chen, Lijuan Xiong, Lijuan Xiong, Hongling Liu, Haoqiang Wang, Donghai Cheng, Wei Wang, Wenyuan He, Bo Xie, Juan Zhou

“…Background and objectiveThe diagnosis of thyroblastoma initially identified as a thyroid malignant teratoma was subsequently classified as a distinct entity by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022. This classification was based on the observation that the tumor presents with independent primitive multilineage elements and is frequently associated with DICER1 hotspot mutations.The objective of this study was to explore and investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, molecular features and treatment strategies of patients with thyroblastoma, followed by a review of the previous relevant literature.MethodsThe clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, molecular features and treatment strategies of the initial case of thyroblastoma pathologically confirmed in China were analyzed.ResultsThe tumor was revealed to have high invasive potential, rapid disease progression, and primitive multilineage elements of pathology, including immature thyroid epithelium, spindled mesenchymal proliferations, and neuroepithelial blastema. …”
