Background:Although adverse effects of high temperature on mortality have been studied extensively in urban areas, little is known the heat–mortality associations outside cities.Objective:We investigated whether differed between and nonurban areas how urbanicity affected vulnerability to heat-related mortality.Methods:We first analyzed risk each 102 counties Jiangsu Province, China, during 2009–2013 using a distributed-lag nonlinear model. The county-specific estimates were then pooled for...
The hybrid sensor kinase RpfC positively regulates the expression of a range virulent genes and negatively modulates synthesis quorum sensing signal diffusible factor (DSF) in Xanthomonas campestris. Three conserved amino acid residues implicated phosphorelay (His198 histidine domain, Asp512 receiver His657 phosphotransfer domain) were essential for activation production extracellular enzymes polysaccharide (EPS) virulence factors but not repression DSF biosynthesis. Domain deletion...
Xanthomonas campestris pv. produces a membrane-bound yellow pigment called xanthomonadin. A diffusible factor (DF) has been reported to regulate xanthomonadin biosynthesis. In this study, DF was purified from bacterial culture supernatants using combination of solvent extraction, flash chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Mass spectrometry nuclear magnetic resonance analyses resolved the chemical structure as 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (3-HBA), which further confirmed by...
Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is the most prevalent viral disease in many soybean production areas. Due to a large number of SMV resistant loci and alleles, strains rapid evolution avirulence/effector genes, traditional breeding for resistance complex. Genetic engineering an effective alternative method improving soybean. Potassium (K+) abundant inorganic solute plant cells, involved responses abiotic biotic stresses. Studies have shown that altering level K+ status can reduce spread diseases....
China's 1959-1961 famine caused about 15-30 million excess death tolls, standing out as the worst in human history. Despite striking severity of catastrophe, little is known its long-term effects. This paper, using a unique individual level dataset, tries to quantify effects on health and economic status survivors. While main approach adopted by many previous studies relies variations exposure different cohorts, we construct difference-in-difference estimator both across regions cohorts....
To examine the spatial variation of stroke mortality risk during heat wave, we collected 418 cases with permanent addresses for a severe wave (July 28-August 15, 2010) and 624 reference period 29-August 16, 2009 July 27-August 14, 2011) in Nanjing, China. Generalized additive models were used to explore association between location while controlling individual-level factors. Heat vulnerability was then applied explain possible variations heat-wave-related risk. The overall ratio (95%...
Phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv (Xcc) uses various mechanisms, including the quorum sensing (QS) system, to regulate infection and colonize cruciferous host plants. Hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs) are widely distributed in plant kingdom, but their effect on diffusible signaling factor family QS signal of Xcc remains unknown. In this study, we report that HCAs activate RpfB-dependent turnover via sensor protein HepR, which turn activates HepABCD resistance-nodulation-division efflux pump...
There is increasing interest in quasi-experimental research to evaluate whether actions taken improve air quality will benefit public health. We conducted a study inflammatory response changes during the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympics China. repeatedly measured 8 biomarkers of systemic inflammation 31 healthy adults and obtained hourly pollutant concentrations from nearby fixed-site monitoring station. used linear mixed-effect models examine associations between blood biomarkers. Air decreased...
