Heating tumors with tumor cell-derived nanoparticles to enhance chemoimmunotherapy for colorectal cancer.

To investigate the mechanism of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) and to improve immunotherapy efficacy. In this study, hybrid vesicles containing DOX (HV-DOX) were prepared by thin-film hydration with extrusion, and the formulated nanoparticles were characterized physically. Furthermore, experiments and animal models were used to investigate the efficacy and new mechanisms of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy.

Regulatory role of miR-129 and miR-384-5p on apoptosis induced by oxygen and glucose deprivation in PC12 cell.

This study aimed to establish the role of miR-129 and miR-384-5p in cerebral ischemia-induced apoptosis. Using PC12 cells transfected with miR-129 or miR-384-5p mimics or inhibitors, oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) conditions were applied for 4 h to simulate transient cerebral ischemia. Apoptotic phenotypes were assessed via lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, MTT cell metabolism assay, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).

Effect of Chinese herbal medicine compound on breast hyperplasia: A protocol of systematic review.

Background: Data supporting the use of Chinese herbal medicine compound (CHMC) on breast hyperplasia (BH) based on the data from previous studies. However, the results are still contradictory. Thus, this study aims to compare the results obtained for effect on case-controlled study (CCS) of CHMC on BH.

Nocardia panacis sp. nov., a novel actinomycete with antiphytopathogen activity isolated from the rhizosphere of Panax notoginseng.

Strain YIM PH21724 was isolated from the rhizosphere of Panax notoginseng. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain exhibits close phylogenetic relatedness to Nocardia kroppenstedtii N1286 (97.70%), Nocardia farcinica NCTC 11134 (97.

iTRAQ-based proteomics screen for potential regulators of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root cell wall component response to Al stress.

Objective: The inhibition of Aluminum (Al)-induced root tip cell elongation is a major cause of plant root elongation suppression. The inhibition of root tip cell elongation is caused by a disruption of cell wall component metabolism, growth signaling, or cellular damage. The aim of this study was to identify the proteins involved in the metabolism of the root cell wall components under Al stress in the Al-tolerant wheat (Triticum aestivum L.

Gracilibacillus eburneus sp.nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from Xinjiang province, China.

A novel Gram-staining positive, moderately halophilic, endospore-forming, motile, rod-shaped and strictly aerobic strain, designated YIM 93565, was isolated from a salt lake in Xinjiang province of China and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain YIM 93565 grew in the range of pH 6.0-9.

Endophytic YIM PH30019: a promising biocontrol agent with hyperosmolar, mycoparasitism, and antagonistic activities of induced volatile organic compounds on root-rot pathogenic fungi of .

Background: Biocontrol agents are regarded as promising and environmental friendly approaches as agrochemicals for phytodiseases that cause serious environmental and health problems. species have been widely used in suppression of soil-borne pathogens. In this study, an endophytic fungus, YIM PH30019, from healthy root was investigated for its biocontrol potential.

Rhizospheric fungi of Panax notoginseng: diversity and antagonism to host phytopathogens.

Background: Rhizospheric fungi play an essential role in the plant-soil ecosystem, affecting plant growth and health. In this study, we evaluated the fungal diversity in the rhizosphere soil of 2-yr-old healthy Panax notoginseng cultivated in Wenshan, China.

Methods: Culture-independent Illumina MiSeq and culture-dependent techniques, combining molecular and morphological characteristics, were used to analyze the rhizospheric fungal diversity.

Diversity, distribution, and antagonistic activities of rhizobacteria of Panax notoginseng.

Background: Rhizobacteria play an important role in plant defense and could be promising sources of biocontrol agents. This study aimed to screen antagonistic bacteria and develop a biocontrol system for root rot complex of Panax notoginseng.

Methods: Pure-culture methods were used to isolate bacteria from the rhizosphere soil of notoginseng plants.

Large sample area and size are needed for forest soil seed bank studies to ensure low discrepancy with standing vegetation.

A large number of small-sized samples invariably shows that woody species are absent from forest soil seed banks, leading to a large discrepancy with the seedling bank on the forest floor. We ask: 1) Does this conventional sampling strategy limit the detection of seeds of woody species? 2) Are large sample areas and sample sizes needed for higher recovery of seeds of woody species? We collected 100 samples that were 10 cm (length) × 10 cm (width) × 10 cm (depth), referred to as larger number of small-sized samples (LNSS) in a 1 ha forest plot, and placed them to germinate in a greenhouse, and collected 30 samples that were 1 m × 1 m × 10 cm, referred to as small number of large-sized samples (SNLS) and placed them (10 each) in a nearby secondary forest, shrub land and grass land. Only 15.

Tenuibacillus halotolerans sp. nov., a novel bacterium isolated from a soil sample from a salt lake in Xinjiang, China and emended description of the genus Tenuibacillus.

A Gram-positive, moderately halotolerant, rod-shaped bacterium, designated YIM 94025(T), was isolated from a soil sample from a salt lake in Xinjiang province, north-west China. Strain YIM 94025(T) was observed to grow at 25-45 °C (optimum 37 °C), 0-22 % NaCl (optimum 2-10 %) and pH 6.0-9.
