Comparative transcriptome analysis to reveal key ethylene genes involved in a Lonicera macranthoides mutant.

Background: Lonicera macranthoides Hand.-Mazz. is an important medicinal plant.

LINC00704 contributes to the proliferation and accelerates the cell cycle of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via regulating ETS1/CDK6 axis.

This study is aimed at exploring the biological functions and related mechanism of long noncoding RNA 704 (LINC00704) in the proliferation and cell cycle progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. The expression of LINC00704 in NPC tissues and cells was quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). After LINC00704 was overexpressed or knocked down in NPC cell lines, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine assay, flow cytometry assay, and Transwell assay were adopted to detect the proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration, and invasion of NPC cells.

Government Intervention Measures Effectively Control COVID-19 Epidemic in Wuhan, China.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has been brought under control through a nationwide effort, and now it has become a global pandemic and the situation seems grim. We summarized the measures taken in Wuhan and analyzed the effects to comprehensively describe the factors involved in controlling the COVID-19 in China. In China, several measures such as the lockdown of Wuhan, restriction of traffic and communities, increasing hospital beds, nationwide support from medical staff, epidemic prevention equipment and supplies, and establishment of makeshift shelter hospitals have been taken.

[Effect of Indirubin and Sheng-Xue-Xiao-Ban Capsule (SXXBC) on Promoting Peripheral Platelet in ITP Model Mice].

Objective: To compare the effect of Sheng-Xue-Xiao-Ban Capsule (SXXBC) and indirubin to the peripheral platelets of the Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) model mouse.

Methods: The ITP mouse model was established by the method of passive immunization. SXXBC and indirubin were used for intervention treatment.

Molecular cloning and spatiotemporal expression of -like gene in .

(), a floral meristem identity gene controls the flowering time and floral transition, and plays an important role in inflorescence and floral organ development. The full-length cDNA for was obtained by rapid amplification ofthe cDNA ends (RACE) so that the roles of in (Lm-AP1) could be better understood. (accession number in GenBank: MF418642) consisted of a 729-bp open reading frame encoding a protein that contained 242 amino acids, had a deduced molecular mass of 27.

Trim27 interacts with Slx2, is associated with meiotic processes during spermatogenesis.

ABSTARCT Formation of the XY body is believed to prevent recombination between X and Y chromosomes during meiosis. We recently demonstrated that SYCP3-like X-linked 2 (Slx2) could be involved in synaptonemal complex formation as well as XY body maintenance during meiosis. In order to further investigate the role and composition of XY body protein complexes in meiotic processes and spermatogenesis, a yeast 2-hybrid screening was performed, and the tripartite motif protein 27(Trim27) was found to interact with Slx2 and co-localized in the XY body.

[Karyotype Analysis of Different Populations of Tulipa edulis].

Objective: To explore the karyotype difference and to provide basis for genetic resources conservation and breeding of Tulipa edulis.

Methods: Karyological analysis on nine Tulipa edulis populations was carried out with conventional pressed slice method.

Results: Nine Tulipa edulis populations investigated were diploid.

Identification and Characterization of Xlr5c as a Novel Nuclear Localization Protein in Mouse Germ Cells.

Background: Spermatogenesis is the complex process by which diploid stem cells generate haploid germ cells in gamete production. Members of the Xlr (X-chromosome linked, lymphocyte regulated) superfamily play essential roles in spermatogenesis. The expression, localization and role in spermatogenesis of one such member, Xlr5c, has not been reported previously.

[Study on the mechanism of acupoint sticking therapy with Chuan fuling for treatment of asthma model rats].

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of the acupoint sticking therapy with Chuanfuling for preventing and treating asthma.

Methods: Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into a control group (normal saline, p.i.

[Immuno-inflammatory reaction after myocardial infarction and treatment with Chinese and Western medicine].

At present ventricular remodeling (VR) is regarded as the main pathological basis of chronic heart failure after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and preventing VR after AMI is of great importance for the prevention of heart failure. Previously, it has not been paid enough attention to the role of inflammation and autoimmune injury during the process of VR after AMI. This topic was discussed in the paper and the treating strategies with Chinese and Western medicine were also explored.

[Exploring the possibility of a relationship between polymorphism in TIM-1 and allergic asthma in children of the Hans from Hubei province of China].

Objective: To investigate two polymorphism sites of exon 4 in T cells, immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain protein-1 (TIM-1, also human hepatitis A virus cellular receptor-1) and to detect whether they are associated with allergic asthma in children of the Hans in Hubei province of China.

Methods: The ins/del and IVS 8+9 G/A polymorphisms in TIM-1 were detected with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). The genotypes and alleles frequencies were calculated and analyzed.
