cantly enriched in the phenylalanine metabolism pathway; two hub genes 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (VIT_02s0109g00250) and copper amine oxidase (VIT_17s0000g09100) played the most essential roles in relating to the total soluble solid and total anthocyanin variations induced by bud sport through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment and co-expression network analysis. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanism responsible for the bud sport phenotype.In Algeria, the arid steppe watershed currently suffers from serious environmental problems, including land degradation, poor water resource management, soil conservation, and land cover management. This situation is manifested by several events such as soil erosion, depletion of water resources, and loss of biodiversity, which are partly related to the acceleration of the soil degradation process. In order to improve the functioning of ecosystems in these watersheds, public authorities and farmers have undertaken restoration and protection efforts through land-use planning programs. The objective of this study is to test the stability, reliability, and anti-erosion effectiveness of these anti-erosion developments that currently exist on three sites, Sfissifa, Belguered, and Ain Sefra, in the face of the exceptional extreme rainfall events recorded especially in 2007-2008 (250 mm), both on cultivated land and in pasture and forest areas. We found that the traditional techniques generally used by farmers (terraces, stone cordons, toub walls, use of manure, cultivation in tanks and on ridges) have a great positive impact on water and soil conservation at the level of the cultivated plots. In addition, the modern techniques developed by the State (torrential correction, hill retention, reforestation) have proved to be very useful for water and soil conservation on a large scale, i.e., at the level of watersheds. This combination of these two types of development is almost indispensable to ensure a very positive impact on land productivity and the reduction of the risk of degradation. The purpose of this study was to compare the functional outcomes, activity levels, mortalities, implant survival rates, and complications of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) with those of patients in a control group over a minimum tenyear follow-up period. From January 2007 to December 2009, 46 TKAs were performed in 29 patients with PD (PD group). Fifty-eight matched patients without PD were used as the control group in a two-to-one ratio using propensity scoring matching. The functional outcomes, activity levels, mortalities, implant survival rates, and complications of TKA in patients with PD and control group were compared. The mean Knee Society knee scores in PD and control group improved from 36.8 and 37.1 pre-operatively to 60.0 and 80.7 points at the final follow-up, respectively (p < 0.05). Outdoor ambulatory patients at the final follow-up included 13 of 20 (65.0 %) in PD group and 51 of 54 (94.4%) patients in control group (p < 0.05). The cumulative mortality rates in PD and control group were 31% (9/29) and 6.9% (4/58) (p < 0.05), at final follow-up, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis with revision of either components as endpoints in PD and control group estimated 89.7% and 98.3% chances of survival for ten years, respectively. TKAs in patients with PD were shown to have worse functional outcomes and higher mortality over a minimum tenyear follow-up period. Therefore, the necessity of the procedure should be considered carefully depending on patient needs and conditions.
