First Report of Causing Stipe Spot Disease of in China.

is a genus of edible and medicinal fungi with a global distribution and economic value. Artificial cultivation of has risen to 8,000 hectares in China in last 5 years (Zhao et al. 2020).

Progranulin regulates the development and function of NKT2 cells through EZH2 and PLZF.

T helper 2 (Th2) cytokine production by invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells is involved in the development of asthma, but the regulation of Th2 cytokines in iNKT cells remains unknown. Although it is known that progranulin (PGRN) induces the production of Th2 cytokines in iNKT cells in vivo, the underlying mechanism is not clear. This study aims to investigate the role of PGRN in iNKT cells.

Gemcitabine/cisplatin versus methotrexate/vinblastine/doxorubicin/cisplatin for muscle-invasive bladder cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the two most commonly used chemotherapy regimens gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) and methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin/adriamycin, and cisplatin (MVAC) regimens for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients.

Methods: We searched for all studies investigating GC and MVAC for MIBC patients in PubMed, Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Central Search Library. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed.

Ebola Therapeutic Study and Future Directions.

The constant Ebola epidemic outbreaks in Africa arisen in waves of panic worldwide. There is a high mortality rate (30-70%) among the Ebola-infected people in virus- stricken areas. Despite these horrors, the medical capabilities against this deadly viral disease were provided by limited therapeutic agents/options.

An ultra-compact blackbody using electrophoretic deposited carbon nanotube films.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possesses decent optical properties and thus can be considered as a candidate for perfect absorbers due to their close-to-air refractive index and minimal extinction. However, weak absorption in porous materials, due to the low extinction coefficients, requires an inevitably thick absorption layer (∼100 μm) for the perfect opaque absorbers. Thus, the requirement of large thicknesses of CNTs prohibits them from being used as miniaturized integrated photonic devices.

[Reconstruction for dysplastic polydactyly of thumb with an island compound flap].

Objective: To investigate the necessity and feasibility of digit fusion with an advanced island flap in thumb dysplasia of radial polydactyly.

Methods: From February 2007 to January 2015,we collected the patients with radial polydactyly, whose nail width or thumb girth was less than 80％ of contralateral side. Among them, some patients were also associated with radial deviation deformities in two thumbs or a shorter radial thumb compared with ulnar thumb.

[The classification and surgical treatment of the terminal phalanx of congenital thumb duplication ].

Objective: To study the classification and individualized treatment of the terminal phalanx of thumb duplication.

Methods: From Apr. 2003 to Dec.

Crosstalk between EGFR and integrin affects invasion and proliferation of gastric cancer cell line, SGC7901.

Background/objective: To investigate the crosstalk between epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and integrin-mediated signal transduction pathways in human gastric adenocarcinoma cells.

Methods: EGF was used as a ligand of EGFR to stimulate the gastric adenocarcinoma cell, SGC7901. Signal molecules downstream of the integrin, FAK(Y397) and p130cas(Y410) phosphorylation, were measured by immunoprecipitation and western blot.

beta-TCP microporosity decreases the viability and osteoblast differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells.

Association of osteoprogenitor cells to calcium phosphate ceramics is currently under intense investigation, for its considered ability to induce bone formation and therefore to allow the successful repair of large bone defects. However, if the first experimental and clinical studies provided promising results, lack of new bone formation has been reported in a large number of animal experiments. In this context and since it has been reported that in some conditions, calcium phosphate ceramic microstructure induces ectopic bone formation, we investigated the effects of ceramic microporosity on the behavior of osteoprogenitor cells for the development of hybrid materials.
