    Abstract The leaf functions through photosynthesis and determines the yield and quality of the grape (Vitis vinifera L.). Understanding the morphology, anatomy, and molecular regulation of leaf development can provide insight into the function of the leaf. In the present study, the microstructure of the vein and stomata was observed using an improved tissue clearing method, and differently expressed transcription factors (TFs) underlying leaf development were determined by transcriptome analysis in the ‘Pinot Noir’ grape. The process of stomata development from a single epidermal cell to a mature stomata cell was observed clearly under light microscopy by improving the method of tissue clearing. The onset of stomata formation in the leaf tip occurred prior to that in the central leaf, and developing stomata were observed in the center of the leaves at different development stages except for L5, when only mature stomata were present. The major vein was initiated before leaf unfolding (L1) and numbers of vessels increased underlying leaf growth. The shape of the vessel presented tapering. Freely ending veins were not observed until stages L4 and L5, and the vessels were different from other order veins in shape and ways of connection. Development-dependent differences between stomata and vein suggested differences in function during leaf development. A total of 445 TFs involved in leaf morphology and anatomy were identified. The members of the bHLH family (SCRM) and MYB family (MYB88) can contribute to stomata patterning during leaf development. Members of the TF families of ARF (ARF5), Dof (TMO6 and HCA2), HD-Zip III (HB14), and GRAS (SCR, SCL14, and SCL28) were potential regulators involved in vein development. The grape orthologs of WOX9, TCP4, and GRF1-9 can participate in leaf outgrowth and expansion. These results will be helpful for our further study of the molecular regulation of leaf development and the relation between leaf structure and function, which can be applied to improve grape production.

    Abstract Background: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is an effective treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. However, some elderly patients with recanalization have a very poor outcome, including vegetative state and mortality. This study evaluated predictors of very poor outcome at 3 months in older patients with stroke undergoing MT treatment.
    Methods: We retrospectively collected data from consecutive stroke patients ≥80 years old undergoing MT between April 2018 and January 2021. A very poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 5 or 6 at 3-month follow-up. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of very poor outcome at 3 months.
    Results: The study enrolled 62 patients with a median age of 85.5 years (interquartile range: 82.0-89.0). Of patients, 35 (56.5%) had a very poor outcome at 3-month follow-up. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified female sex (odds ratio = 3.592, 95% confidence interval 1.047-12.319, P = 0.042) and stroke-associated pneumonia (odds ratio = 6.103, 95% CI 1.541-24.174, P = 0.010) as independent predictors of very poor outcome.
    Conclusions: In elderly stroke patients undergoing MT treatment, female sex and stroke-associated pneumonia were independent predictors of very poor outcome at 3 months.

    Abstract Sugar is crucial for grape berry, whether used for fresh food or wine. However, berry enlargement treatment with forchlorfenuron (N-(2-chloro4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea) (CPPU, a synthetic cytokinin) and gibberellin (GA) always had adverse effects on sugar accumulation in some grape varieties, especially CPPU. Therefore exploring the molecular mechanisms behind these adverse effects could provide a foundation for improving or developing technology to mitigate the effects of CPPU/GA treatments for grape growers. In the present study, invertase (INV) family, the key gene controlling sugar accumulation, was identified and characterized on the latest annotated grape genome. Their express pattern, as well as invertase activity and sugar content, were analyzed during grape berry development under CPPU and GA

    Abstract Natural leaf senescence is an acclimation strategy that enables plants to reallocate nutrients. In the present study, interestingly, we found that the basal mature leaves of grapevine primary shoots (P) exhibited the earliest senescence, followed by the apical young leaves of secondary shoots (ST), and then the basal mature leaves of secondary shoots (S). The Chl level decreased with the extent of leaf senescence. According to the genome-wide identification and expression analysis, sixteen senescence-associated genes (SAGs) involved in Chl breakdown were identified in the grapevine genome. Their expression patterns showed that the transcript changes in

    Abstract Leaves, considered as the 'source' organs, depend on the development stages because of the age-dependent photosynthesis and assimilation of leaves. However, the molecular mechanisms of age-dependent limitations on the function of leaves are seldom reported. In the present study, the photosynthesis-related characteristics and photoassimilates were investigated in grape leaves at six different age groups (Ll to L6) at micro-morphological, biochemical, and molecular levels. These results showed lower expression levels of genes associated with stomatal development, and chl biosynthesis resulted in fewer stomata and lowered chlorophyll a/b contents in L1 when compared to L3 and L5. The DEGs between L5 and L3/L1 were largely distributed at stomatal movement, carbon fixation, and sucrose and starch metabolism pathways, such as

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the predictive role of nodal skip metastasis (NSM) in the prognosis of lymph node-positive mid-thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and to evaluate the significance of postoperative adjuvant treatment in patients with different sites of metastatic nodes.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 321 lymph node-positive mid-thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients who underwent surgery in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University. Based on the site and condition of lymph node metastasis by postoperative pathology, the patients were divided into two groups: NSM group and non-NSM (NNSM) group. The propensity score matching (PSM) method was employed to match the two groups. The prognostic factors of patients before and after PSM as well as the effect of different adjuvant treatment modes on the prognosis of patients before and after PSM were analyzed. SPSS 29.0 statistical software was used for analysis.
    Results: PSM in a 1 : 1 matching ratio was performed, 103 patients were assigned to NSM group and NNSM group respectively. Significant differences were found in the 3- and 5-year OS and DFS between the two groups before PSM, the 3- and 5-year OS also showed a significant difference after PSM (
    Conclusion: Postoperative NSM is a good prognostic factor for patients with mid-thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy was recommended for those group, thereby gaining survival benefits.

    Abstract Background: In recent years, the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) polymorphism has been extensively investigated as a potential risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the results of these studies have been inconsistent. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to explore the association between LPL polymorphism and CAD risk.
    Methods: The literature was searched from electronic databases such as Embase, China Biological Medicine Database, PubMed, Knowledge Infrastructure, and China National Web of Science by the key words "coronary artery disease", "lipoprotein lipase" and "polymorphism". All of the studies included in this manuscript met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. An odds ratio (OR) analysis using a 95% confidence interval (CI) was employed to assess the association of the LPL polymorphism with CAD susceptibility.
    Results: We performed a meta-analysis of 14 case-control studies including HindIII, Ser447X and PvuII polymorphism. A statistically significant increase in the risk of CAD was associated with LPL HindIII polymorphism. This included HindIII H⁺H⁺ genotype (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.09-1.49,
    Conclusions: LPL HindIII polymorphism was significantly associated with the risk of CAD. For Ser447X polymorphism, it was found that only XX genotype was significantly associated with CAD risk. Furthermore, PvuII polymorphism had no significant association with CAD risk. It was considered that LPL HindIII polymorphism might serve as a potential biomarker for CAD risk.

    Abstract Sink organs, the net receivers of resources from source tissues, provide food and energy for humans. Crops yield and quality are improved by increased sink strength and source activity, which are affected by many factors, including sugars and hormones. With the growing global population, it is necessary to increase photosynthesis into crop biomass and yield on a per plant basis by enhancing sink strength. Sugar translocation and accumulation are the major determinants of sink strength, so understanding molecular mechanisms and sugar allocation regulation are conducive to develop biotechnology to enhance sink strength. Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is an excellent model to study the sink strength mechanism and regulation for perennial fruit crops, which export sucrose from leaves and accumulates high concentrations of hexoses in the vacuoles of fruit mesocarp cells. Here recent advances of this topic in grape are updated and discussed, including the molecular biology of sink strength, including sugar transportation and accumulation, the genes involved in sugar mobilization and their regulation of sugar and other regulators, and the effects of hormones on sink size and sink activity. Finally, a molecular basis model of the regulation of sugar accumulation in the grape is proposed.

    Abstract Berry quality and harvesting time affect grape (Vitis vinifera L.) market values. Abscisic acid (ABA) applications improve fruit quality and hasten ripening in grapes. However, the molecular mechanisms behind these promotive effects, especially ripening acceleration, remain unclear. Here, treatments of different ABA concentrations were applied to ‘Summer Black’ grape from véraison onwards. The ABA applications accelerated berry ripening and improved quality attributes, such as increased sugar and anthocyanin accumulations, as well as a deepening of color. RNA sequencing was performed to characterize the gene expression involved in ripening-related processes. A total of 1,880 non-redundant differentially expressed genes were identified by paired-comparisons between the ABA-treated and control samples at three sampling time points. The transcripts associated with starch and sucrose metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, and flavone and flavonol biosynthesis were significantly overrepresented. The change in the anthocyanin content following ABA treatments coincided with the expression patterns of key structural genes and an R2R2-MYB transcription factor associated with anthocyanin synthesis. Additionally, genes involved in both sucrose transportation and metabolism, such as HEXOSE TRANSPORTER and INVERTASE, had increased expression levels after ABA treatments, which was consistent with the responses of sucrose-relate enzymes. Thus, we hypothesize that ABA applications regulate many genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, sucrose metabolism and sugar transport that accelerate anthocyanin and hexose accumulation, thereby improving grape quality and allowing earlier harvests. These results provide extensive candidate genes involved in the ripening process under ABA treatment in grapes.
