Cell structure damage contributes to antifungal activity of sodium propylparaben against Trichothecium roseum.

Trichothecium roseum is a type of fungus that causes pink rot in muskmelon after the melons are harvested. Pink rot leads to severe decay during storage and causes the production of toxins that can be harmful to human health. Sodium propylparaben (SPP, IUPAC name: sodium; 4-propoxycarbonylphenolate) is an antimicrobial preservative that can be used to treat the inedible parts of fruits in addition to food, medications, and packaging.

Long Noncoding RNA DLGAP1-AS1 Promotes the Aggressive Behavior of Gastric Cancer by Acting as a ceRNA for microRNA-628-5p and Raising Astrocyte Elevated Gene 1 Expression.

Purpose: The long noncoding RNA DLGAP1 antisense RNA 1 (DLGAP1-AS1) plays well-defined roles in the malignant progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to determine whether DLGAP1-AS1 affects the aggressive behavior of gastric cancer (GC).

Methods: DLGAP1-AS1 expression in GC tissue samples and cell lines was determined by reverse-transcription quantitative PCR.

[Lentivirus-mediated BMP-2 overexpression plasmid transfection into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with silk fibroin scaffold for osteoblast transformation].

Objective: To explore the effect of lentivirus-mediated BMP-2 overexpression plasmid transfection into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and silk fibroin scaffold on osteoblast transformation.

Methods: The lentivirus BMP-2 overexpression vector was constructed, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured, and the combined culture system of nuclear scaffolds was constructed. Alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase staining were used to detect the osteogenic transformation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro.

[Spectral study of the effects of glasses lenses' color depth on stereoscopic vision].

Glasses with zero focal-length lens and different shades of red, yellow and blue were studied in terms of absorbance by UV-Vis spectral absorption method. The effect of lens with different shades of the same color on stereoscopic vision was comparatively studied from the medical view. The study has shown that, for yellow and blue lens, there is no difference in the absorbance between the deep-color and light-color lens in UV; at 550 nm, the absorbance of deep-color lens is higher than that of light-color lens.
