[Cloning and expression analysis of 8 bHLH transcription factors in Panax quinquefolius].

A total of 8 bHLH transcription factors were cloned from Panax quinquefolius and the response of them to methyl jasmonate(MeJA) was studied.To be specific, based on the preliminary transcriptome screening, 8 bHLH transcription factors were cloned with seedlings which had been cultured for 3 weeks.The content of ginsenosides Rg_1, Re, and Rb_1, and total saponins in the adventitious roots of P.

Activation of the NF-κB Pathway and Heterozygous Deletion of TNFAIP3 (A20) Confer Superior Survival in Extranodal Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type.

Objectives: To investigate the role of TNFAIP3 deletions and NF-κB activation in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL), nasal type.

Methods: In total, 138 patients with ENKTCL were included. Activation of NF-κB pathway and expression of TNFAIP3 (A20) were examined by immunohistochemistry.

A Highly Sensitive Luminescent Dye@MOF Composite for Probing Different Volatile Organic Compounds.

The probing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is critical and challenging in biotechnology and environmental monitoring. Incorporation of luminescent moieties into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has produced many unique luminescent sensors for probing different VOCs. The emissions of most MOF sensors are based mainly on the single transitions of luminescent moieties, so the luminescence readouts are only predominant for some special VOCs.

Designed synthesis of a series of zwitterion-polyoxometalate hybrid materials for selective scavenging and photolysis of dyes.

Zwitterions and polyoxometalates (POMs) are two kinds of functional moieties with very different properties for applications in different fields. We have developed an effective strategy to successfully immobilize these two different moieties into the frameworks of porous hybrid materials, in which the POM units act as templates and photoactive moieties. These hybrid materials demonstrate remarkable efficiency for selective scavenging and photolysis of cationic dyes from polluted water, and up to 10% dye uptake and quantitative photolysis of dyes have been realized.

In vitro biodegradation and biocompatibility of gelatin/montmorillonite-chitosan intercalated nanocomposite.

The intercalated nanocomposite of gelatin/montmorillonite-chitosan (Gel/MMT-CS) was prepared via the solution intercalation process. In vitro degradation tests showed that the nanocomposite had a lower degradation rate than Gel-CS composite. And the introduced intercalation structure endowed Gel/MMT-CS nanocomposite with a controllable degradation rate when changing the MMT content.
