Segment-based Volatile Organic Compound Emission Characteristics from Different Types of Coking Plants in China by Rumei Li, Yulong Yan, Lin Peng, Yinghui Li, Zhuocheng Liu, Zhanchun Fan, Huanfeng Li, Yang Xu, Cheng Wang, Dongmei Hu, Zhiyong Li

“…Abstract The source profiles, emission factors, and chemical reactivity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated by two typical coking plants, one employing a non-recovery process and the other, a mechanical process, in Shanxi Province, a major coking hub in China, were determined for different segments of coke production during normal operations. The primary components in the stack flue gas were ethylene, 1-butene, benzene, acetylene, and 2,2-dimethylbutane for the non-recovery plant and styrene, benzene, and ethylene for the mechanical plant. …”

Prognosis conferred by molecular features of appendix-derived Pseudomyxoma Peritonei by Ruiqing Ma, Guojun Li, Yingjiang Ye, Lei Liang, Chong Wang, Haipeng Zhou, Pu Zhang, Lubiao An, Guanjun Shi, Qian Chen, Hongbin Xu, Zhidong Gao

“…Patients with tumor mutational burden (TMB) > 1(P = 0.026) or alterations in TP53 (P = 0.006) or SMAD4 (P = 0.013) had significantly worse OS compared to those with a TMB < 1 or normal genes. Patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) positivity (P = 0.003) or alterations in TGFBR2 (P = 0.037) experienced worse PFS compared to their respective control groups. …”

Ornithine enantiomers modulate essential oil yield and constituents and gene expression of monoterpenes synthase in Salvia officinalis under well-watered and drought stress conditi... by Maryam Mohammadi-Cheraghabadi, Faezeh Ghanati, Naser Karimi, Mansour Ghorbanpour, Saeid Hazrati

“…The interaction between water availability and the application of D-ornithine and L-ornithine significantly influenced the expression of borneol diphosphate synthase (BS), sabinene synthase (SS), and cineole synthase (CS) under drought stress, with notable upregulation observed compared to normal growth conditions. Specifically, D-ornithine enhanced the expression of BS and SS by 45.29% and 113.63%, respectively, under drought stress, while both D-ornithine and DL-ornithine significantly increased CS expression. …”

Elastosonographic Evaluation of Endometrium in Postmenopausal Bleeding by İsmail Burak Gültekin, Orhan Altınboğa, Serap Gültekin, Elif Akkaş Yılmaz, Gökşen İnanç İmamoğlu, Afra Alkan, Tuncay Küçüközkan

“…STUDY DESIGN: A total of 80 women in their postmenopausal period were enrolled for the study; 19 with postmenopausal bleeding and 61 normal healthy controls. All patients with a history of previous uterine surgery (including myomectomy) and/or endometrial interventions such as endometrial ablation, polyp removal, hysteroscopic interventions (except solely diagnostic procedures) and endometrial sampling within one year were excluded from the study because of the possibility of endometrial changes that may interfere with elastosonographic starin ratios. …”
