The party and the state have intensified efforts to solve food safety problems and prevent possible epidemic risks. China has issued a series of policies and plans to strengthen food safety supervision to improve the food safety policy system. To our knowledge, little work has studied policy problems of food safety with in-depth quantitative analysis for an extended period. In accordance with the different national policies and regulations for food safety, this paper fills the gap by analyzing the policies and comparing the central and local policies issued in China from 2007–2022. In addition, the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model and K-Means clustering model are constructed to analyze the content of food safety policies and identify hot topics. Finally, a quantitative analysis of China’s food safety policies is made from four aspects: the number of policy release years, the distributio...

Polyamines are closely associated with plant stress tolerance. The present study investigated the mechanisms through seed germination with spermidine protecting wheat varieties from drought stress. In the first experiment, the effects of spermidine on the germination of wheat varieties, namely Rakhshan, Mihan, Sirvan and Pishgam, were investigated in three drought levels, namely 0, −2, and −4 MPa induced by polyethylene glycol 6000. Analysis of variance indicated that spermidine, drought stress and interaction between varieties and drought stress were significant for all traits, and with severity of stress, all traits significantly decreased. In the second experiment, detailed gene expression and non-targeted metabolomics analyses were carried out using the Rakhshan and Mihan varieties after germination, with or without spermidine treatment and/or drought stress. A...

In this study, the effect of three spectral compositions (referred to by their most typical characteristic: blue, red, and the combination of blue and red [pink] lights) on polyamine metabolism was compared to those obtained under white light conditions at the same light intensity. Although light quality induced pronounced differences in plant morphology, pigment contents, and the expression of polyamine metabolism-related genes, endogenous polyamine levels did not differ substantially. When exogenous polyamines were applied, their roborative effect were detected under all light conditions, but these beneficial changes were correlated with an increase in polyamine content and polyamine metabolism-related gene expression only under blue light. The ...

The purpose of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to investigate the molecular identification and geographical distribution of anthroponotic and zoonotic CL in southern Iran, during 2018–2019. Overall, 161 patients with CL referred to the Leishmaniasis Diagnostic Laboratory, Valfajr Health Center, Shiraz, Iran, were included in this study. The smears were prepared from the lesion borders of patients and stained with Giemsa and diagnosed microscopically. For molecular identification, the genomic DNA of each sample was extracted, and PCR method was used. The geographical distribution map was prepared using ArcMap software. Finally, the possible correlation between the frequencies of CL in various subgroups was statistically analyzed by Chi-square test, using SPSS software. Of 161 positive samples confirmed by both microscopy and PCR, 126 (78.3%) and 35 (21.7%) samples were shown to be L. major and L. tropica, respectively. Also, 87 (54%) patients were male, and 74 (46%) were female. The study showed that anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) was detected only in Shiraz city, while zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) was observed both in Shiraz and most counties of Fars Province. Furthermore, the most CL infections occurred in district 8 among the different districts of Shiraz municipality, which requires serious attention.

There are reports regarding the co-infection of CL with other diseases, especially immune system disorders. Herein, we presented a patient with several leishmania lesions who suffered from Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). He was a 22-year-old man from Fars province, southern Iran who was treated with corticosteroid drugs to control the manifestations of SLE. The presence of leishmanial bodies was confirmed by microscopic and molecular methods. Treatment was performed based on sodium antimony gluconate (1.5 mg/5ml) for three weeks, resulting in acceptable outcomes. However, recurrence of the lesions was observed after two months when the medication was discontinued. This was the first report of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ZCL) in an SLE patient.

Based on this theory, linguistic forms emerged from interaction and conflict between faithfulness and markedness constraints. The data analyses showed that the phonological processes of insertion and deletion occurred for different reasons. The phonological process of insertion occurred in compound words, in adjacent to monophonemic and polyphonemic suffixes in order to prevent hiatus. This process also occured to satisfy the sonority sequence principle in coda position of consonant clusters, and to prevent the phoneme /r/ in onset position of words. The phonological process of deletion occurred to prevent hiatus in compound words and in adjacent to polyphonemic suffixes. It also occured as a result of the prevention of pronounciation of some phonemes and for ease of pronunciation.

It causes ionic imbalance, thus decrease the growth and yield attributes of crops especially wheat. Seedling stage is considered as one of the most sensitive stages under salinity stress. Survival of seeds at seedling stage can overcome the adverse impacts of salinity stress to some extent. Selection of salt tolerant varieties in seedling stage is considered as an effective strategy. Hence, current study was conducted to examine the seed germination responses of four wheat varieties under different levels of salinity. The wheat varieties such as ‘Rakhshan’, ‘Sirvan’, ‘Pishgam’ and ‘Heidari’ were grown and four salinity levels of 0, 4, 8 and 12 dS/m were applied under completely randomized design. The varieties such as ‘Sirvan’, ‘Rakhshan’ and ‘Heidari’ showed significant response for germination compared to ‘Pishgam’ at 12 dS/m salinity. Furthermore, the variety ‘Rakhshan’ showed significantly higher g...

It is one of the most deficient macro-nutrients in agricultural soils after nitrogen and is considered inadequate for plant growth and production. To P availability in soils, the farmers are applying huge amounts of synthetic P fertilizers that adversely affect the wider environment, groundwater, soil fertility and microbial population. Many beneficial microbes are known to release and supply soluble P for improving growth and yield of a variety of plants in a sustainable manner in P deficient soils. Thus, inoculation of these microbes, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to soil to enhance crop production without harming the environment, is an alternative approach to chemical fertilizers. The combined role of AMF and PSB in P solubilization is not well understood and the application and mode of action of these microbial groups are often naive due to variation in the environment. Therefore, the current review article would develop a better understanding of the interactive role and mechanisms of AMF and PSB in improving P availability from both organic and inorganic sources in a sustainable crop production system. Finally, the current review would loop out further avenues for researchers interested to commercially produce effective AMF and PSB-based biofertilizers for sustainable management of phosphorus over a wide range of agricultural crops worldwide.

Objectives Study aimed to investigate the relationship between ABO blood groups and Rhesus antigen and susceptibility to COVID-19. Methods The clinical data of 398 subjects were used in the investigation collected from 148 cases vs. 250 controls. This information was obtained from Shahid Sadoughi Hospital of Yazd (IRAN) University. blood groups and outcomes was assessed using statistical tests for four populations: COV + vs. COV− and COV +/deceased vs. COV +/live. Results Out of a total of 148 COVID19 patients, 80 (54/1%) were male, 68 (45/9%) were female. Among these patients 33 (22/6%) had type A+, 44 (30/1%) had type B+, 13 (8/9%) had type AB+ and 36 (24/7%) had type O+. On the other hand, out of a 148 patients, 126 (86/3%) had positive blood types and 20 (13/7%) had negative blood types. As a result, no significant difference was found in the relationship between ABO blood groups and RH type and susceptibility to COVID-19 (p-value= 0.392 and p-value=0.847, respectively). Other data showed a significant difference between patients group with other parameters such as age (p-value<0.001) and gender (p-value<0.001). Conclusion Although in this study there was no association between blood type and RH type with COVID-19, findings about association between age and gender can confirm the results of previous studies.

Here, we identified PAO genes in common wheat (Triticum aestivum), T. urartu and Aegilops tauschii and reported the genome organization, evolutionary features and expression profiles of the wheat PAO genes (TaPAO). Expression analysis using publicly available RNASeq data showed that TaPAO genes are expressed redundantly in various tissues and developmental stages. A large percentage of TaPAOs respond significantly to abiotic stresses, especially temperature (i.e. heat and cold stress). Some TaPAOs were also involved in response to other stresses such as powdery mildew, stripe rust and Fusarium infection. Overall, TaPAOs may have various functions in stress tolerances responses, a...

This study was an attempt to evaluate whether antidiabetic and nephroprotective effects of Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni (SRB) can be exerted via upregulation of GLUT-4, SNAP23, and Stx4 in skeletal muscles or modulation of AQP2 mRNA expression and antioxidant signaling pathway activity (Nrf2/Keap1) in kidneys. To achieve this aim, diabetes was induced via STZ-nicotinamide (STZ-NA). Diabetes increased the level of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), and Keap1 mRNA expression, which was coincide with reduction in mRNA levels of Nrf2, GLUT4, SNAP23, and Stx4. SRB and metformin compensate mentioned variables. However, SRB extract was more effective than metformin to increase the levels of GLUT4 and Nrf2 mRNA. It seems that SRB might attenuate the diabetic complications via manipulating the glucose uptake components in peripheral tissues and might exert the nephroprotective effects by modulation of AQP2, and Nrf2/Keap1 mRNA expression. Practical applications Synthetic antidiabetic drugs have been only partially successful in controlling the diabetic complications. Moreover, use of these drugs is associated with a number of adverse effects. Over the past few years, a renewed attention has been paid to the prevention and treatment of diabetes using medicinal plants and functional foods. How to cite this article: Bayat E, Rahpeima Z, Dastghaib S, et al. Stevia rebaudiana extract attenuate metabolic disorders in diabetic rats via modulation of glucose transport and antioxidant signaling pathways and aquaporin-2 expression in two extrahepatic tissues.
