Isolation and Identification of Volatile Substances with Attractive Effects on from Vagina of Bactrian Camel.

Vaginal myiasis is one of the most serious parasitic diseases in Bactrian camels. At present, there are no reports on biological control measures of the disease. In this paper, the metabolomic analysis of vaginal secretions from susceptible and non-susceptible camels was performed by ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatograph.

MicroRNA-4530 promotes angiogenesis by targeting VASH1 in breast carcinoma cells.

The results of our previous study revealed that microRNA (miRNA/miR)-4530 was upregulated in the serum of patients with diabetic retinopathy. The TargetScan miRNA database was used to identify potential targets of miR-4530 and vasohibin-1 (VASH1) was predicted as one of the targets. The results of our previous study demonstrated that miR-4530 was able to promote angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

Identification of the differential expression of serum microRNA in type 2 diabetes.

The identification of disease-specific alterations in miRNA expression and the ability to detect miRNAs in serum furnish the basis for identified potential research value. This study was aimed to characterize the expression of miRNAs in the serum samples from people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and healthy individuals in order to detect the differential expression of miRNAs in T2DM. In total, 582 participants were recruited.

Glutamine synthetase plays a role in D-galactose-induced astrocyte aging in vitro and in vivo.

Astrocytes play multiple roles in physiological and pathological conditions in brain. However, little is known about the alterations of astrocytes in age-related changes, and few aging models of the astrocytes in vitro have been established. Therefore, in the present study, we used d-galactose (D-Gal) to establish astrocyte aging model to explore the alterations of astrocytes in brain aging.
