AIM: Colorectal cancer (CRC) primarily arises from a combination of genetic, environmental, and dietary factors. Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages in managing CRC. This study investigates the factors influencing dynamic intestinal obstruction following laparoscopic colorectal radical surgery.
METHODS: We collected clinical data from 218 CRC patients who underwent laparoscopic radical surgery at the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China between January 2022 and December 2023. The patients were followed up for 30 days post-surgery, and those who developed dynamic intestinal obstruction were placed in the complication group, while those who did not were included in the control group. The quality of life for all patients was assessed using Quality of Life Score (QoL) measures. The incidence of postoperative dynamic intestinal obstruction was calculated. Baseline and clinical data were collected using a standardized patient data form, and risk factors for postoperative dynamic intestinal obstruction were analyzed.
RESULTS: Postoperative evaluation revealed that 42 out of 218 patients developed dynamic intestinal obstruction, with an incidence rate of 19.27%. Univariate analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between the complication and control groups in terms of gender, age, body mass index (BMI), education level, Quality of Life Score tumor location, degree of differentiation, tumor diameter, surgery duration, presence of hypertension, history of diabetes, hyperlipidemia (HLP), smoking or alcoholism history, or postoperative abdominal infection (p > 0.05). Furthermore, factors such as tumor stage, preoperative hypoproteinemia, history of abdominal surgery, preoperative intestinal obstruction, and lymph node metastasis were identified as risk factors for postoperative dynamic intestinal obstruction. Logistic regression analysis further indicated that tumor stage, preoperative hypoproteinemia, history of abdominal surgery, preoperative intestinal obstruction, and presence of lymph node metastasis were all independent risk factors for dynamic intestinal obstruction after surgery (Odds Ratio (OR) >1, p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Dynamic intestinal obstruction following laparoscopic radical surgery for CRC is significantly correlated with factors such as tumor stage, preoperative hypoproteinemia, history of abdominal surgery, preoperative intestinal obstruction, and lymph node metastasis.

AIM: This systematic review aims to synthesize the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, treatment strategies, and outcomes of spinal dumbbell meningiomas to enhance understanding and improve patient management.
METHODS: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, four major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) were searched until June 2024. Studies included patients diagnosed with spinal dumbbell intradural-extradural meningiomas, focusing on patient demographics, tumor characteristics, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and clinical outcomes. Two independent reviewers extracted the data, with discrepancies resolved by consensus or a third reviewer. Due to heterogeneity in study designs, a narrative synthesis was conducted.
RESULTS: From 2602 studies, 22 articles comprising 32 patients met the inclusion criteria. The median patient age was 48 years (P25: 44.76, P75: 51.24), with a slight female predominance (59.38%). The cervical spine was the most common tumor location (63.63%). Symptoms included movement disorders (59.38%), sensory deficits (40.63%), and pain (34.38%). All patients underwent surgical resection, with 75% achieving gross total resection (GTR). Recurrence occurred in 15.63% of cases, and 68.75% of patients had good recovery outcomes. Histopathological analysis showed all tumors were World Health Organization (WHO) Grade I meningiomas, with meningothelial and psammomatous subtypes being most common.
CONCLUSIONS: Spinal dumbbell meningiomas are rare but challenging due to their complex anatomical features and potential for neurological deficits. Surgical resection is the primary treatment with generally favorable outcomes, but recurrence remains a concern. Long-term follow-up and research into advanced imaging and minimally invasive surgical techniques are essential for improving management and patient outcomes.

Introduction: The role of penile rehabilitation after surgical treatment of Peyronie’s disease remains debatable to this day.Objectives: to evaluate the impact of penile rehabilitation on the long-term results of plaque incision and grafting in patients with Peyronie’s Disease.Materials and Methods: a single-center, prospective, observational, uncontrolled study included 44 patients who underwent plaque incision and grafting in the period from 2012 to 2021. During the control examination, the state of erectile function was assessed using the IIEF-5 questionnaire, the presence or absence of postoperative complications (paresthesia of the glans penis, shortening of the penis, recurrence of curvature), and it was also clarified about the methods of penile rehabilitation that the patient used in the postoperative period (inhibitors phosphodiesterase type 5 use, vacuum therapy, traction therapy). Patients before surgery and during control examination underwent penile doppler ultrasound with pharmacological test (Alprostadil 10 mcg). 26 patients came to the follow-up examination. 18 patients were excluded from the study due to refusal to participate further. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the use of penile rehabilitation methods. The first group included 10 (38.5%) patients who did not use any of the recommended methods of penile rehabilitation in the postoperative period. The second group included 16 (61.5%) patients who used at least one of the recommended methods of penile rehabilitation.Results: the groups were comparable in terms of the main characteristics. The median follow-up period was 77 months in the first group and 94.5 months in the second group. The highest compliance was noted with regard to the use of PDE-5 inhibitors (100% of patients in the second group) and vacuum therapy (68.75% of the second group). In the first group, the frequency of venogenic dysfunction according to penile doppler ulrtasound was statistically significantly higher (p = 0.03). In the second group (patients who used penile rehabilitation methods), the IIEF-5 score was statistically significantly higher (p = 0.006), and the incidence of penile shortening and curvature recurrence was statistically significantly lower (p = 0.001 and p = 0.01, respectively).Conclusion: penile rehabilitation significantly improves the long-term functional results of plaque incision and grafting in patients with Peyronie’s disease.

A field experiment was conducted during the summer 2023 at Agricultural experimental Station, Paria, Gujarat with the objectives to determine the effect of different weed management treatment on growth and yield of summer groundnut under south Gujarat condition. The experiment designed in randomized block design with four replications. The treatments were T1: unweeded control, T2: weed-free hand weeding at 20, 30, and 40 DAS, T3: pre-emergence application of pendimethalin (EC) at 1.0 kg/ha + 1 HW, T4: pre-emergence application of pendimethalin (CS) at 1.0 kg/ha + 1 HW, T5: pre-emergence application of flumioxazin (SC) @ 0.05 kg/ha + 1 HW, T6: pre-emergence application of diclosulam (WDG) at 20 g/ha (PE) + 1 HW; T7: pre-emergence application of pendimethalin (EC) at 1.0 kg/ha (PE) + imazamox + imazethapyr at 70 g/ha in pre-mix as post-emergence; T8: post-emergence application of propaquizafop (EC) at 75 g/ha. The results revealed that significantly higher values of growth parameter viz, plant height, yield attributing parameters viz., number pods per plant, shelling percentage, test weight, harvest index and pod as well as haulm yield were recorded under weed free (Hand weeding at 20, 30 and 40 DAS) (T2). Treatment T3 and T4 were found equally effective in recording higher values of growth parameters and yield attributes and yield than rest of treatments. Whereas weed management treatments did not excert any significant effect on oil content of groundnut. The highest net profit and B:C ratio were accrued from weed-free (T2), closely followed by pendimethalin EC @ 1.0 kg/ha as pre-emergence + 1 HW (T3) and pendimethalin CS @ 1.0 kg/ha as pre-emergence + 1 HW (T4). The results of the study showed that T2 (weed-free, hand-weeding at 20, 30, and 40 DAS) produced the best outcomes, whereas T3 and T4 herbicide treatments produced results that were comparable to T1.

Field experiment was conducted at Eastern block farm, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University 11°29”N latitude and 77° 08”E longitude with an altitude of 426.7M above MSL with maize to study the degradation, persistence and residues of atrazine under long term conservation agriculture system. The treatments constituted atrazine 1.0 kg ha-1 on 3 DAS and atrazine 1.0 kg ha-1 on 3DAS +Hand weeding on 45th day under different conservation tillage practices. Degradation, persistence and residue analysis were carried out for atrazine using HPLC. Residues of atrazine was analyzed at different periods viz., 0,15,30,45,60,75 and 90 days after herbicide application and at harvest and the results revealed that degradation of atrazine was found to follow first order reaction kinetics (R2> 0.94) with the half life of 13.7–16.2 days irrespective of tillage practices and weed management methods. The recommended rate of atrazine @1.0 kgha-1 recorded terminal residues below detectable limit of <0.01 mg kg-1 in soil and plant parts of maize.
Kernel Regression
Authors: Fokoué Ernest 
Published: September 2021

AbstractWith their power to represent arbitrarily complex functions, similarity measures known askernelshave enriched the statistical machine learning and data science arsenal with theoretical powerful and widely applicable methods for optimal prediction in both regression and classification. Tools such as kernel ridge regression, kernel logistic regression, Gaussian process regressors and classifiers, support vector regression and classification machines, and the relevance vector machine, just to name a few, are all members of this rich class of methods for classification and regression that have yielded state‐of‐the‐art predictive performances on some of the most formidable datasets to date. In this article, we provide a detailed coverage of what is common to these methods and how they differ, but we also highlight their key strengths along with their drawbacks. We strive throughout this article to provide both theoretically rigorous accounts and practical examples to aid the reader's comprehension. Finally, we use both synthetic simulated data and real‐life data to demonstrate and clearly highlight as many of the characteristics of all the learning machines explored as possible.
The MADS‐Box Gene Family Involved in the Regulatory Mechanism of Dormancy and Flowering in Rosaceae Fruit Trees
Authors: Hsiang Tzu‐Fan , Chen Wenxing , Yamane Hisayo 
Published: September 2021

AbstractTemperate perennial fruit tree species enter dormancy in autumn. A prolonged exposure to chilling followed by warm conditions induce dormancy release and bud break. In Rosaceae species, flowering proceeds during dormancy when bud growth is repressed. TheSHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE(SVP)‐clade MADS‐box genes such asDORMANCY‐ASSOCIATED MADS‐boxes(DAM/SVPs) encode tree bud dormancy regulators. The major effects of DAM/SVPs include growth inhibition and bud break repression through the regulation of plant hormone metabolism in vegetative and floral buds. In addition, theFLOWERING LOCUS C(FLC)‐clade MADS‐box genes were recently also proposed to encode flowering and dormancy regulators. Apple (Malus domestica) FLC may have multifaceted roles in the juvenile–adult phase transition and in the annual development‐dormancy cycle in floral buds. Specifically, in apple, we hypothesize FLC3‐like may facilitate flowering in autumn, whereas an FLC‐like (FLC2) may inhibit bud break, thereby helping floral buds to remain in a quiescent state in winter and preventing an unexpected bud break before the spring. We developed a working model in which abscisic acid,C‐repeat Binding Factor(CBF),TEOSINTE BRANCHED/CYCLOIDEA/PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR(TCP), micro ribonucleic acid (microRNAs), and epigenetic regulation mediate processes that convert environmental signals into the transcriptional regulation ofDAMs andFLCs, thereby ensuring dormancy phase transitions and progression. Finally, possible relationships between MADS‐box genes and dormancy‐associated cellular metabolism are discussed.
From Gene Mapping to Gene Editing, A Guide from the
Arabidopsis
Research

Abstract

Gene mapping aims to identify the causal genetic factors underlying any trait of interest. To map those genetic factors, three main pre‐requisites are required, i.e. traits measured on quantitative scales, segregating populations, and linkage maps. Quantitative traits are controlled by many genes and can be collected by screening segregating populations, which either can be immortal populations or large collections of natural homozygous inbred accessions. Genetic polymorphisms within each of those population types can be investigated using advanced sequencing technologies or polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based molecular markers that can be grouped and presented as linkage maps, which represent chromosomes. The mapping process itself can be achieved by traditional quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping or association mapping, which accelerate mutant and gene discovery. Traditionally, the identified mutants or genes can be used to generate new plants with improved or desirable features through crossing or selection that are laborious and time‐consuming. An effective, precise, and rapid alternative to target and modify the identified mutants or genes is through gene‐editing technologies. The three most common genome‐editing technologies are Zinc finger nucleases (ZFN), transcription activator‐like effector nucleases (TALEN), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9) nuclease. Experience gained with the model plant
Arabidopsis thaliana
will be the focus of this article.
