Investigation of factors that high school student's Internet use on parent-child relationship − Investigation of factors that affect self control −

We analyzed the Internet use of high school student’s smartphone by focusing on the difference between self-inhibition evaluation of students and parents.In this study, self-control evaluation on children’s smartphone of parents is different from “ 4 ”of hours and times of net use increased compared to when entering high school，“time spent talking with the family decreased”，“time to study decreased”，“feeling depressed and depressed” It became clear that the item is related. In smartphone use, it was suggested that there is a difference in the way life changes between parents and children and how to catch self control, which may affect parentage relationship

Genome sequencing and population genomic analyses provide insights into the adaptive landscape of silver birch

Silver birch (Betula pendula) is a pioneer boreal tree that can be induced to flower within 1 year. Its rapid life cycle, small (440-Mb) genome, and advanced germplasm resources make birch an attractive model for forest biotechnology. We assembled and chromosomally anchored the nuclear genome of an inbred B. pendula individual. Gene duplicates from the paleohexaploid event were enriched for transcriptional regulation, whereas tandem duplicates were overrepresented by environmental responses. Population resequencing of 80 individuals showed effective population size crashes at major points of climatic upheaval. Selective sweeps were enriched among polyploid duplicates encoding key developmental and physiological triggering functions, suggesting that local adaptation has tuned the timing of and cross-talk between fundamental plant processes. Variation around the tightly-linked light response genes PHYC and FRS10 correlated with latitude and longitude and temperature, and with precipitation for PHYC. Similar associations characterized the growth-promoting cytokinin response regulator ARR1, and the wood development genes KAK and MED5A.Peer reviewe

The effect of masseter muscle mass on the rate of experimental tooth movement in rats.

BACKGROUND Previous clinical observational studies have suggested that orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is related, at least partly, to the mass and/or capabilities of the masticatory muscles. OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to examine the influence of masticatory muscle mass on the OTM in an animal experimental model in which the masseter muscle was modulated by botulinum neurotoxin type A (BTX) injection. METHODS Eighteen Wistar rats were equally divided into two groups: BTX injection and control. BTX was injected bilaterally into the masseter muscles. Three days after the injection, the maxillary left first molars were orthodontically moved for 14 days. At the end of the experiment, micro-computed tomography was performed to evaluate the rate of OTM and bone morphometry. The masseter muscles were weighed and prepared for histological analyses. RESULTS The masseter muscle mass in the BTX group was less than that in the control group, and histological findings showed atrophy of muscle fibers. The rate of OTM was significantly higher in the BTX group than in the control group. Furthermore, a negative correlation was detected between masseter muscle mass and OTM in the BTX group. Bone morphometry showed no difference between the control and BTX groups. CONCLUSION Decreased masseter muscle mass was found to be closely related to an increase in the rate of OTM in rats using BTX injection to modify the masseter muscle mass. Masseter muscle mass could be a predictive factor for OTM in rats injected with BTX

Gastric-Type Adenocarcinoma of the Uterine Cervix Associated with Poor Response to Definitive Radiotherapy

We aimed to evaluate the response to definitive radiotherapy (RT) for cervical cancer based on histological subtypes and investigate prognostic factors in adenocarcinoma (AC). Of the 396 patients treated with definitive RT between January, 2010 and July, 2020, 327 patients met the inclusion criteria, including 275 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 52 with AC restaged based on the 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system. Patient characteristics, response to RT, and prognoses of SCC and AC were evaluated. The complete response (CR) rates were 92.4% and 53.8% for SCC and AC, respectively (p p p p p < 0.05). Definitive RT for cervical cancer was significantly less effective for AC than for SCC. GAS was the only independent prognostic factor associated with non-CR in AC
