Syzygium malaccense is native to Malaysia. It is sometimes called the malay apple, malay rose-apple, mountain rose-apple, mountain apple, water apple, or French cashew. The tree is very popular in many tropical and subtropical regions for its fruit and traditional medicine. The first complete chloroplast genome of Syzygium malaccense has been reported in this study. The complete chloroplast genome of Syzygium malaccense is 158,954 bp, composed of four regions: a large single-copy region with a size of 87,991 bp, a small single copy region with a size of 18,793 bp, and two inverted repeat regions with a size of 26,085 bp. The GC content is 36.97%. A total of 132 genes were annotated, including 84 encoding proteins, eight encoding rRNA genes, 37 encoding tRNA genes, and three encoding pseudo genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Syzygium aromaticum, Syzygium cumini, and Syzygium forrestii are closely related to Syzygium malaccense.
Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of death in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Biomarkers has an important guiding role in the early diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognostic assessment of HF. Increasing studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have played an indispensable role in the regulatory network of HF. This study was aiming to explore the expression profiles of lncRNAs in patients treated with MHD developing heart failure. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from 4 hemodialysis patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and 4 hemodialysis patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), respectively. The expression profile analysis of lncRNAs was performed by using Illumina Novaseq 6000 sequencer. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to verify the expression of representative differentially expressed lncRNAs. Based on lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA-KEGG network analysis, the potential role of candidate lncRNAs and their association with the severity of HF were further evaluated. In total, 1,429 differentially expressed lncRNAs were found between patients with HFrEF and patients with HFpEF, of which 613 were up-regulated and 816 were down-regulated (P
