    Abstract Background: Soil salinity is one of the primary environmental stresses faced in rice production. When plants are exposed to salt stress, a series of cellular balances will be disrupted. Dufulin is an immune-induced antiviral agent used in plants. The DUF gene family influences plant response to abiotic stress, and the functional role of OsDUF6(ABA98726.1) in rice response to salt stress is being investigated here.
    Results: Based on the transcriptome analysis of Dufulin treatment in inducing salt tolerance in rice, we selected the OsDUF6 protein located on the cell membrane and studied its molecular function by overexpressing OsDUF6. Salt-induced decreases in root, stem, and leaf length and increased leaf yellowing rate and Na
    Conclusions: Combined with previously published data, our results supported the observation that OsDUF6 is an important functional factor in Dufulin-induced promotion of salt stress tolerance in rice.

    Abstract Rationale and objective: To investigate the influence of the deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) on the image quality and quantitative analysis of pulmonary nodules under ultra-low dose lung CT conditions.
    Materials and methods: This was a prospective study with patient consent and included 56 patients with suspected pulmonary nodules. Patients were examined by both standard-dose CT (SDCT) and ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT). SDCT images were reconstructed with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V 40% (ASIR-V40%) (group A), while ULDCT images were reconstructed using ASIR-V40% (group B) and high-strength DLIR (DLIR-H) (group C). The three image sets were analyzed using a commercial computer aided diagnosis (CAD) software. Parameters such as nodule length, width, density, volume, risk, and classification were measured. The CAD quantitative data of different nodule types (solid, calcified, and subsolid nodules) and nodule image quality scores evaluated by two physicians on a 5-point scale were compared.
    Result: The radiation dose in ULDCT was 0.25 ± 0.08mSv, 7.2% that of the 3.48 ± 1.08mSv in SDCT (P < 0.001). 104 pulmonary nodules were detected (51/53 solid, 26/24 calcified and 27/27 subsolid in Groups A and (B&C), respectively). Group B had lower density for solid, calcified nodules, and lower volume and risk for subsolid nodules than Group A, while Group C had lower density for calcified nodules (P < 0.05), There were no significant differences in other parameters among the three groups (P > 0.05). Group A and C had similar image quality for nodules and were higher than Group B (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: DLIR-H significantly improves image quality than ASIR-V40% and maintains similar nodule detection and characterization with CAD in ULDCT compared to SDCT.

    Abstract Dufulin is a newly developed plant antiviral agent, which is widely used in the control of many viral crop diseases. Existing research mainly focuses on its antiviral effect, but research in relation to resistance to abiotic stress is unclear. This study was based on the treatment of rice with salt (NaCl), and exogenous application of Dufulin as a stress-resistant agent. The effect of Dufulin on salt stress of rice was revealed. There were 1997 differential genes detected, including 1449 up-regulated and 548 down-regulated. After the application of Dufulin to rice, when salt stress was applied, peroxidase activity was increased and superoxide dismutase activity was reduced; GO and KEGG analyses indicated that the stimulated genes are related to the stress resistance pathway, thus improving the ability of rice to resist salt stress. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis was used to verify the dynamic changes of growth- and stress-resistance-related genes, among which integral membrane protein DUF6 containing protein, OsHKT1;4 (Na⁺ transporter) and zinc-finger protein were verified to increase by more than three times, and OsIAA1 and OsIAA9 were verified as down-regulated. Measuring the length of root, stem and leaf, and OsIAA1 and OsIAA9 expression showed that Dufulin promoted rice growth. After that, Dufulin could enhance the salt resistance of rice by regulating the expression of integral membrane protein DUF6 containing protein, OsHKT1;4, zinc-finger protein and other related genes under salt stress. The results elucidated the mechanism of Dufulin action during salt stress in rice at the transcriptional level.

    Abstract The Tobamovirus helicase plays an important role in virus proliferation and host interaction. They can also be targets for antiviral drugs. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is well controlled by ningnanmycin (NNM), but whether it acts on other virus helicases of Tobamovirus virus is not clear. In this study, we expressed and purified several Tobamovirus virus helicase proteins and analyzed the three-dimensional structures of several Tobamovirus virus helicases. In addition, the binding of Tobamovirus helicase to NNM was also studied. The docking study reveals the interaction between NNM and Tobamovirus virus helicase. Microscale Thermophoresis (MST) experiments have shown that NNM binds to Tobamovirus helicase with a dissociation constant of 4.64-12.63 μM. Therefore, these data are of great significance for the design and synthesis of new effective anti-plant virus drugs.

    Abstract Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with tunable pore sizes and ordered structures are ideal materials for engineering nanofiltration (NF) membranes. However, most of the COFs prepared by solvothermal synthesis are unprocessable powders and fail to form well-structured membranes, which seriously hinders the development of COF NF membranes. Herein, colloidal 2D-COFs with processable membrane formation ability were synthesized by oil-in-water emulsion interfacial polymerization technology. COF NF membranes with tailored thickness and surface charge were fabricated via a layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly strategy. The prepared COF NF membrane achieved precise sieving of dye molecules with high permeance (85 L·m

    Abstract Objective: To explore the application of quantitative computed tomography (CT) in analyses of lung changes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
    Methods: A total of 150 clinically diagnosed RA patients underwent chest CT and 150 matched non-smokers subjects with normal chest CT are enrolled. A CT software is applied to analyze CT obtained from both groups. The quantitative indices of emphysema are expressed as the percentage of lung area with attenuation < -950HU to the total lung volume (LAA-950%), and pulmonary fibrosis was expressed as the percentage of lung area with a attenuation of -200 to -700HU to the total lung volume (LAA-200--700%), quantitative indicators of pulmonary vascular include aortic diameter (AD), pulmonary artery diameter (PAD), the ratio of PAD to AD (PAD/AD ratio), the number of blood vessels (TNV), and the cross area of blood vessels (TAV). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is used to evaluate the ability of these indexes in identifying the changes in the lung in RA patients.
    Results: Compared to the control group, the RA group has significantly lower TLV, larger AD, and smaller TNV and TAV (3921±1101 vs. 4490±1046, 33.26±4.20 vs. 32.95±3.76, 13.14±4.93 vs. 17.53±3.34, and 96.89±40.62 vs. 163.32±34.97, respectively, with all p < 0.001). Peripheral vascular indicator TAV has the better ability to identify lung changes in RA patients (area under ROC curve AUC = 0.894) than TNV (AUC = 0.780) or LAA-200 ∼-700% (AUC = 0.705).
    Conclusion: Quantitative CT can detect changes in lung density distribution and peripheral vascular injury in patients with RA and assess the severity.

    Abstract Coat proteins (CPs) of RNA plant viruses play a pivotal role in virus particle assembly, vector transmission, host identification, RNA replication, and intracellular and intercellular movement. Numerous compounds targeting CPs have been designed, synthesized, and screened for their antiviral activities. This review is intended to fill a knowledge gap where a comprehensive summary is needed for antiviral agent discovery based on plant viral CPs. In this review, major achievements are summarized with emphasis on plant viral CPs as biochemical targets and action mechanisms of antiviral agents. This review hopefully provides new insights and references for the further development of new safe and effective antiviral pesticides.

    Abstract Bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) of high‐producing dairy cows are subject to constant oxidative stress as a result of high metabolic rate and physiological adaptation to intensive farming. Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf has been proposed to have the antioxidant potential in scavenging free radicals due to the presence of flavonoids. In this study, we investigated the cytoprotective effects of moringa leaf flavonoids in alleviating oxidative stress in BMECs in vitro. Oxidative stress was established by exposing isolated BMECs to H₂O₂ for 2 hr. Doses of moringa leaf flavonoids were evaluated by treating BMECs for 12 hr. The optimal concentrations of H₂O₂ and moringa leaf flavonoids were 500 μmol/L and 1.0 mg/ml, respectively. The results showed that moringa leaf flavonoids increased the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase; and reduced malondialdehyde activity and intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the H₂O₂‐induced oxidative stress system. A Hoechst33258 staining assay revealed that moringa leaf flavonoids decreased the apoptosis rate in BMECs, while leaving membrane integrity and nucleolar morphology unchanged. We concluded that moringa leaf flavonoids have the antioxidant capacity to effectively reduce oxidative stress in BMECs.
