RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Zingiberoideae is a large and diverse subfamily of the family Zingiberaceae. Four genera in subfamily Zingiberoideae each possess 50 or more species, including Globba (100), Hedychium (> 80), Kaempferia (50) and Zingiber (150). Despite the agricultural, medicinal and horticultural importance of these species, genomic resources and suitable molecular markers for them are currently sparse. RESULTS: Here, we have sequenced, assembled and analyzed ten complete chloroplast genomes from nine species of subfamily Zingiberoideae: Globba lancangensis, Globba marantina, Globba multiflora, Globba schomburgkii, Globba schomburgkii var. angustata, Hedychium coccineum, Hedychium neocarneum, Kaempferia rotunda 'Red Leaf', Kaempferia rotunda 'Silver Diamonds' and Zingiber recurvatum. These ten chloroplast genomes (size range 162,630-163,968 bp) possess typical quadripartite structures that consist of a large single copy (LSC, 87,172-88,632 bp), a small single copy (SSC, 15,393-15,917 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 29,673-29,833 bp). The genomes contain 111-113 different genes, including 79 protein coding genes, 28-30 tRNAs and 4 rRNA genes. The dynamics of the genome structures, gene contents, amino acid frequencies, codon usage patterns, RNA editing sites, simple sequence repeats and long repeats exhibit similarities, with slight differences observed among the ten genomes. Further comparative analysis of seventeen related Zingiberoideae species, 12 divergent hotspots are identified. Positive selection is observed in 14 protein coding genes, including accD, ccsA, ndhA, ndhB, psbJ, rbcL, rpl20, rpoC1, rpoC2, rps12, rps18, ycf1, ycf2 and ycf4. Phylogenetic analyses, based on the complete chloroplast-derived single-nucleotide polymorphism data, strongly support that Globba, Hedychium, and Curcuma I + "the Kaempferia clade" consisting of Curcuma II, Kaempferia and Zingiber, form a nested evolutionary relationship in subfamily Zingiberoideae. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides detailed information on ten complete Zingiberoideae chloroplast genomes, representing a valuable resource for future studies that seek to understand the molecular evolutionary dynamics in family Zingiberaceae. The identified divergent hotspots can be used for development of molecular markers for phylogenetic inference and species identification among closely related species within four genera of Globba, Hedychium, Kaempferia and Zingiber in subfamily Zingiberoideae.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We investigated the efficacy of annular ligament reconstruction by suture anchor in the treatment of radial head dislocation (RHD) in children. METHOD: A total of 20 RHD children nderwent annular ligament reconstruction surgery using suture anchor. Preoperative and postoperative elbow functions were evaluated according to Broberg and Morrey 100-point scale. Recovery of radial nerve function was assessed using the Chinese Medical Association of Hand Surgery Branch of Upper Limb Functional Assessment Standard. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 17.0 software. RESULTS: All 20 RHD children who underwent the procedure were followed up for a median duration of 24 months. At the last follow-up, the average Broberg-Morrey score was 94.3, with 12 children (60.0%) showing excellent outcomes (score range, 95 to 100), 7 children (35.0%) showing good outcomes (score range, 80 to 94), 1 child (5.0%) displayed a fair outcome (score range, 60 to 79), and 0 (0%) poor outcome. A significant difference in the excellent-good rate was observed when the elbow function before surgery was compared to after surgery (χ(2) = 5.559, P = 0.018). The radial nerve function of the 13 RHD children with radial nerve injury also recovered to normal. Among these 13 RHD children, nine exhibited excellent outcomes, 3 showed good outcomes, 1 displayed a fair outcome, and no patient showed a poor outcome. A significant difference in the excellent-good rate of radial nerve function was also observed when before surgery was compared to after surgery in these RHD children (χ(2) = 4.887, P = 0.027). CONCLUSION: Our results strongly indicated that suture anchor is highly effective for reconstruction of the annular ligament and to promote full functional recovery in RHD children, demonstrating that the procedure is an excellent treatment choice in RHD children.

RESUMO

Sphagnum palustre L. is a Chinese herbal medicine with a long history, however, few studies have been performed on its chemical composition and active effects. In this study, we investigated the composition and antibacterial and antioxidant capacities of extracts obtained from Sphagnum palustre L. phytosomes extracted with conventional solvents (water, methanol, and ethanol) and two different hydrogen bond donors (citric acid and 1,2-propanediol) modified with choline chloride-type deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The results show that Sphagnum palustre extracts contained 253 compounds, including citric acid, ethyl maltol, and thymol. The highest total phenolic content (TPC) was obtained with a DES extraction method combining 1,2-propanediol and choline chloride (39.02 ± 7.08 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dried weight (DW). This shows the composition of Sphagnum palustre as a natural product and the application of DESs in the extraction of active ingredients, demonstrating the potential of peat moss extracts in cosmetics and health products.
