Flowering is one of the most important progresses for most plants during the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. There are many factors that affect the flowering, including two main external factors, light and temperature, and the internal factors such as gibberellin acid (GA) and autonomous elements. At present, the late-flowering mutants are fallen into four pathways: photoperiod pathway, vernalization pathway, autonomous pathway and GA pathway according to factors described above. Through several floral integrators, such as SOC1, FT and LFY, the multiple flowering regulatory pathways control the flowering finely under the variable environmental condition and physiological condition.

Ischemic stroke is an important cause of death and disability.Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a serious complication of acute ischemic stroke,especially in patients receiving intravenous thrombolytic therapy.Identifying patients at high risk of HT is very important for improving stroke outcomes.Some studied have shown that several serum biomarkers can be used to predict HT risk in patients with acute ischemic stroke.This article reviews the serum biomarkers of HT after acute ischemic stroke.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the storage time and the origin of bacteria for disinfection package for combat readiness under natural environment in inland and plateau situation.METHODS We prepared double-cotton operation dressing packet,apparatus package,as well as dressing and apparatus mixed packet each with 72 pieces,respectively.Packages were deposited within closed and opened storage boxes under natural environment in depository for combat readiness,respectively after vacuum steam sterilization.Three different kinds of packages each with 3 items were put inside each box.After sterilization,total of 9 items with each 3 from one type of package were taken randomly from each group every time for bacterial culture by different time.At the same time,samples of the air and depot boxes in warehouse for combat readiness were collected and cultured as well as analyzed for bacterial homology.RESULTS In Chongqing,all packages were negative for bacteria on the 40th day after sterilization,while 2 packages were positive for bacteria on the 49th day.In Lhasa,4 packages were positive in opened group on the 106th day after sterilization.On the 122nd day,6 packages were positive in opened group and 1 item was positive in closed group.The dominant bacteria are bacilli and staphylococci both in the air and depot boxes of the warehouse for combat readiness.CONCLUSIONS The storage time for disinfection package under natural environment in different areas correlates closely with the local environmental and climatic situations.The bacteria of the package were confirmed to be from the air.The effective storage time for disinfection package would be prolonged by standardization of the disinfection procedure,and control multiple environmental factors affecting microorganisms.

Objective To compare the effect of high volume continuous blood purification (CBP) with routine CBP on multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS).Methods 38 patients with MODS were randomly divided into high volume CBP group( treatment group,18 cases) and routine CBP group (control group,20 cases).And they were respectively detected on mean arterial pressure(MAP),dosage of Dopamine,PaO2/FiO2,APACHE [ score,lactic acid,length of stay and mortality in ICU post-treatment 24h and 48h.Results Compared with control group,MAP and PaO2/FiO2 on treatment group were more higher( P ＜ 0.05 ),while dosage of Dopamine,APACHE Ⅱ score,lactic acid were significantly shorter than these of treatment group( P ＜ 0.05 ),and length of stay and mortality in ICU were significantly lower than those of treatmen group [ ( 8.54 ± 4.15 ) d vs ( 11.82 ± 5.76) d,P ＜ 0.05:22.2％ vs 35.0％,P ＜0.05 ].Conclusion High volume CBP could reduce the mortality in ICU compared with control group routine CBP.

AIM: To compare the effects of hypoxia on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), iNOS and eNOS mRNA in cultured umbilical vein endothelial cells (UVECs) obtained from Tibetan and Han. METHODS: UVECs were obtained from native Tibetan and immigrant Han, respectively and cultured under hypoxia conditions (0.5% oxygen) for 2 h, 4 h, 12 h, and 24 h and normoxic conditions. VEGF, iNOS and eNOS mRNAs were detected with methods of RT-PCT. RESULTS: VEGF and iNOS mRNAs were up-regulated while eNOS mRNA depressed by hypoxia similarly in Tibetan and Han UVECs. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the changes of VEGF, iNOS and eNOS mRNA expression are common pathways in the mechanisms of hypoxic responses.

Objective To study the effects of duration of migration from sea-level to high-altitude on cerebral hemodynamic parameters and their ethnic differences.Methods This randomized comparative study recruited 5 groups of healthy male subjects which were native Hans at sea-level (NHS),Han migrants from sea-level to high-altitude (HMSH,where HMSH-a for residence duration of 4 days,HMSH-b for 1 year,and HMSH-c for 5 years),and native Tibetans at high-altitude (NTH).Color duplex Doppler sonography (CDDS) was used to measure bilateral vertebral and internal carotid arterial diameters,mean flow velocities.The heart rate,arterial blood pressure,and arterial oxygen saturation were also recorded simultaneously,and in combination,hemoglobin was measured to assess total cerebral blood flow (TCBF),total cerebrovascular resistance (TCVR),and total cerebral oxygen supply (TCOS).Results After migration to high-altitude,Hans' TCVR and TCBF maintained the level of NHS after transient changes during early stage (P<0.05),and the TCBF was markedly higher than that of NTH (P<0.05);while the blood pressure and TCOS increased abruptly (P<0.05) at the beginning and kept for a relatively long time at a constant level which were higher than those of NTH all the time (P<0.05).Conclusions Han migrants can acclimate to high-altitude by adaptive change of cerebral blood flow over a short time and maintain a constant adaptability which is always weaker than that of native Tibetans.CDDS can be used for non-invasive measurement of actual cerebral blood flow,and is of good value in the study on high-altitude-related cerebral hemodynamics.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between hyponatremia and the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods:Clinical data of 12 patients with COVID-19 admitted to Shantou Central Hospital from January 23 to February 5 in 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including gender, age, symptoms, lab test and clinical outcomes, to analyze the change trend of blood Na + level in the patients with COVID-19. Results:Among the 12 patients with COVID-19, there were 8 males and 4 females with the mean age of (38.0±16.3) years old, most of them were admitted to the hospital with cough and/or fever. All patients had a positive nucleic acid test for 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), and were discharged after clinical treatment with oxygen therapy, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and nutritional support. All patients were of ordinary type when they were admitted to the hospital. Among them, 1 patient turned into a severe case during the course of the disease, and 1 patient showed a tendency to become severe case. It was found that 10 patients without severe conversion had an average blood Na + of (138.3±1.3) mmol/L at admission, and the lowest blood Na + during the course of disease was (135.9±3.1) mmol/L. However, 2 patients who became severe and had a tendency to become severe disease (Na + levels at admission were 140.0 mmol/L and 138.0 mmol/L, respectively) experienced hyponatremia during the course of the disease (the lowest blood Na + levels were 129.0 mmol/L and 122.0 mmol/L). Further analysis showed that the lower serum Na + level, the higher level of white blood cell count (WBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP), but serum Na + level was consistent with the change trend of lymphocytes, suggesting that hyponatremia was closely correlated with severe inflammation reaction. Conclusions:Serum Na + showed decreasing tendency during the development of COVID-19, and hyponatremia was closely related to the severity of COVID-19. It was necessary to pay great attention to the change trend of blood Na + level. However, further research was needed to obtain more reliable conclusions and explorer the pathophysiological mechanisms.
