[Variation of rhizosphere environmental factors of sugarbeet seedlings under NaCO stress and their correlation].

To study the effect of saline-alkali stress on dry mass, rhizosphere soil enzyme activities and soil microbial quantities, pot experiments were designed two sugar beet varieties, 'KWS0143' (strong tolerance to saline-alkali) and 'Beta464' (weak tolerance to saline-alkali) planted in different NaCO concentrations [0% (control), 0.4%, 0.8% and 1.

Synergistic anti-tumor effect of KLF4 and curcumin in human gastric carcinoma cell line.

Kruppel-like factor 4 is a transcription factor which plays an important role in development and progression of various carcinomas. Curcumin characterized by excellent anti-cancer properties is regarded as a serviceable natural compound used in carcinoma therapy. This study aimed at exploring the impact of KLF4 overexpression in cooperation with curcumin on the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of human gastric carcinoma BGC- 823 cells.
