This study aimed to explore the relationship among cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A total of 118 outpatient and inpatient patients with OCD and 109 healthy participants, gender- and age-matched, were selected using cognitive fusion questionnaire (CFQ), acceptance and action questionnaire-2nd edition (AAQ-II), Yale-Brown scale for obsessive-compulsive symptoms, Hamilton anxiety scale, and Hamilton depression scale for questionnaire testing and data analysis. The levels of cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance in the OCD group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group ( < 0.

Background: Burns cause a huge economic burden to society, and the wounds can be very difficult to manage. Clinical experience suggests that amniotic membrane (AM) is an economical and effective biological dressing for burns. However, few systematic reviews or meta-analyses have been published on such use.

Yeast one-hybrid assay demonstrated it can bind to ABA-responsive element (ABRE), which was found in most stress-induced genes. Transgenic Arabidopsis over-expressing OsAREB1 had different responses to ABA and glucose compared to wild-type plants, which suggest OsAREB1 might have a crucial role in these two signaling pathways.

Genes in the AP2/ERF family encode transcriptional regulators with a variety of functions involved in the developmental and physiological processes in plants. Two AP2/ERF family transcriptional regulators (BnaERFB3-1 and BnaERFB3-2) were isolated from B.

As a crucial transcription factor family,heat-shock factors were mainly analyzed and characterized in tomato and Arabidposis. In this study, we isolated a putative heat-shock factor OsHSF13 that interacted specifically with heat-shock element (HSE) from Oryza sativa L. by yeast one-hybrid method.

Antisense and sense gene fragments (710 base pairs) of apple polyphenol oxidase (APPO) gene were obtained by RT-PCR amplification, using the total RNAs isolated from ripen apple fruit as the template. These two fragments were ligated with a 1000 bp spacer, YYT (crtW+crtY fusion) gene, which is relative to carotenoid synthesization in subcocci. The full-length 2446 bp-target gene was then inserted into plant binary vector pYPX145 to generate the recombinant plasmid pYF7704, which carried the expression unit, of APPO dsRNA.

Total RNA was isolated from ripen fruit of tomato, then ACC oxidase gene and ACC synthase gene were obtained using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The fusion encoding ACC oxidase and ACC synthase gene was obtained through ACC oxidase gene and ACC synthase gene ligation.
