CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that 3OC6-HSL enhanced plant salt tolerance and ABA-dependent and ABA-independent signal pathways and SOS signaling might be involved in the induction of salt resistance by 3OC6-HSL in plants. Our data provide a new insight into the plant-microbe inter-communication.This study uses qualitative interviews with leaders of 34 mental health clinics in the context of a statewide rollout of clinical and business innovations to explore how clinics first learn about innovations and which external sources of information they access. Clinic leaders reported accessing information about innovations mainly from government agencies, professional associations, peer organizations, and research literature. Leaders mentioned an average of two external sources of information. There was evidence of variation in how leaders accessed information and how information about innovations was communicated within clinics. Findings have implications for improving dissemination of information about innovations in mental health systems.The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article [1] following an investigation by the University of Maryland. The institution found that in Figures 1B and 1D, the cell lines are different and all published histograms show SEMA4D mRNA level whereas Excel data have two histograms showing SEMA4D expression and two histograms showing VEGF expression. In Figure 2B, the metadata for one image shows different treatment conditions than those reported in the article. The published image labelled "VEGF + VEGFR-2 shRNA" has a metadata label of S4d-plexinB1 shRNA2". In Figure 2E, statistical significance was shown in the published figure for four comparisons, but upon recalculation, one comparison noted as significant was not. In Figure 6A, the lower left image is labelled "VEGF shRNA" in the published figure, but the metadata label is "S4DshRNA-HN121-20X". In Figure 6C, specifically, within columns 2-4, for each antibody used for immunocytochemistry, the three images have been swapped so that the original images do not match the shRNA labels in the figure (the labels for the two antibodies were correct). In Figure 7D, the first published image is labelled as "IgG" in the paper, but the metadata show a label of "Restore (V+S).tif". https://www.selleckchem.com/products/azd9291.html The third published image has a label of "anti-VEGF IgG", and the metadata show a label of "con sh.tif". Due to these errors, the Editors-in-Chief have found that the results are no longer reliable.BACKGROUND In Canadian medicine faculties, an average of 2.3% of the medical curriculum is dedicated to musculoskeletal problems with a focus on orthopedic conditions. The goal of this descriptive study was to assess the educational preferences in rheumatology of family medicine residents and to identify their preferred methods of learning. METHODS From September 2017 to December 2017, two hundred and thirty-six first- and second-year family medicine residents from Université Laval were asked to complete an electronic anonymous survey assessing their confidence in doing different rheumatology tasks. They were also consulted on their favorite methods of learning and their preferred periods throughout their medical cursus to learn the different skills related to rheumatology. RESULTS Eighty-five family medicine residents completed the survey. The residents were rather confident when evaluating mono-arthritis but less confident for oligo/polyarthritis and even less confident with connective tissue diseases. The family medicine residents mentioned preferring traditional lecture classes and clinical cases. They wanted to learn the majority of rheumatology education during medical school training. As residents, they wanted only small capsules, seminars, or memory aids. Interestingly, men preferred learning rheumatology skills during the residency, whereas women preferred learning it in medical school. CONCLUSION The lack of confidence of family medicine residents when evaluating systemic inflammatory diseases compared to mechanical musculoskeletal problems highlights the importance of rheumatology teaching through general medical training and through family medicine residency.Key Points• Family medicine residents are less confident when evaluating systemic inflammatory diseases than musculoskeletal disorders.• Family medicine residents prefer traditional lecture classes and clinical cases.• Family medicine residents prefer learning rheumatology during medical school training.OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study is to investigate the clinical features of patients with Behcet's disease (BD) in Mongolia. METHODS Patients were identified and examined from six medical institutions in Mongolia from January 2015 to January 2019. BD was diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria for BD established by the International Study Group. RESULTS There were sixty-five patients (22 males and 43 females) recoded, the ratio of 11.95, with a marked female predominance. The age of disease onset was 22.2 ± 10.0 (mean ± SD), ranging from 11 to 66 years old. Oral aphthous ulcers, ocular lesions, skin lesions, genital ulcers, pathergy test positivity, articular lesions, superficial vasculitis, deep vein thrombosis, and epididymitis (male only) were observed in 100.0%, 63.1%, 81.5%, 89.2%, 7.7%, 86.2%, 32.3%, 4.6%, and 13.6% of the patients, respectively. The incidence of poor visual prognosis, ≤ 20/200, was significantly higher in males than in females (31.8 vs. 9.3%, incidence rate ratio 4.55 (95% CI 1.16-17.82), p  less then  0.05). The pathergy test was positive only in 7.7% of cases and only in female subjects. Nasal mucous ulcers were frequently seen in 55.4% of patients that may also be attributed to the environmental conditions of Mongolia. Headache was observed 76.9% of patients in this study. CONCLUSIONS Clinical manifestations of BD in Mongolia are presented for the first time. The visual prognosis was significantly worse in males. Nasal mucous membrane ulcers and recurrent headaches were frequent among Mongolian patients with BD.Key Points• First results of the examination of the clinical features of Behcet's disease patients in Mongolia.• Nasal ulcerations and recurrent headaches are frequent symptoms in Mongolia Behcet's disease patients, potentially attributed to climate.• Male Behcet's disease patients in Mongolia have a significantly worse prognosis for eye-related complications and vision.
