The Mechanism of miR-155/miR-15b Axis Contributed to Apoptosis of CD34+ Cells by Upregulation of PD-L1 in Myelodysplastic Syndromes.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of heterogeneous myeloid clonal diseases that are characterized by ineffective bone marrow hematopoiesis. Since studies have confirmed the significance of miRNAs in ineffective hematopoiesis in MDS, the current report elucidated the mechanism mediated by miR-155-5p. The bone marrow of MDS patients was collected to detect miR-155-5p and to analyze the correlation between miR-155-5p and clinicopathological variables.

Comparison of the diversity of root-associated bacteria in Phragmites australis and Typha angustifolia L. in artificial wetlands.

Common reed (Phragmites australis) and narrow-leaved cattail (Typha angustifolia L.) are two plant species used widely in artificial wetlands constructed to treat wastewater. In this study, the community structure and diversity of root-associated bacteria of common reed and narrow-leaved cattail growing in the Beijing Cuihu Wetland, China, were investigated using 16S rDNA library and PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis methods.

Flavobacterium phragmitis sp. nov., an endophyte of reed (Phragmites australis).

A Gram-staining-negative bacterium, designated strain BLN2(T), was isolated from within the roots of reeds (Phragmites australis) in Beijing Cuihu Wetland (China) and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The cells were yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic and devoid of flagella, but showed gliding motility. Strain BLN2(T) produced yellow, translucent, circular and convex colonies, with optimal growth at 30 °C and pH 7.

Endophytic bacterial diversity in roots of Typha angustifolia L. in the constructed Beijing Cuihu Wetland (China).

We investigated the community structure of endophytic bacteria in narrowleaf cattail (Typha angustifolia L.) roots growing in the Beijing Cuihu Wetland, China, using the 16S rDNA library technique. In total, 184 individual sequences were used to assess the diversity of endophytic bacteria.

[Changes of bacterial community structure on reusing domestic sewage of Daoxianghujing Hotel to landscape water].

A 16S rDNA library was used to evaluate the bacterial diversity and identify dominant groups of bacteria in different treatment pools in the domestic sewage system of the Beijing Daoxianghujing Hotel. The results revealed that there were many types of bacteria in the hotel domestic sewage, and the bacterial Shannon-Weaver diversity index was 3.12.

Endophytic bacterial diversity in roots of Phragmites australis in constructed Beijing Cuihu Wetland (China).

The community structure and diversity of endophytic bacteria in reed (Phragmites australis) roots growing in the Beijing Cuihu Wetland, China was investigated using the 16S rRNA library technique. Primers 799f and 1492r were used to amplify the specific bacterial 16S rRNA fragments successfully and construct the clone library. In total, 166 individual sequences were verified by colony PCR and used to assess the diversity of endophytic bacteria in reed roots.
