Safety evaluation of RNAi transgenic L. based on microbial diversity and metabonomic analysis.

Oleic acid desaturase () is the key enzyme that produces polyunsaturated fatty acids in rapeseed ( L), which is one of the main oil crops. RNA interference (RNAi) is an emerging technique that provides new opportunities for the generation of new traits in plants. To increase oleic acid content and reduce linoleic and linolenic acid content in rapeseed, we constructed an ihpRNA plant expression vector of the gene and obtained transgenic plants for multiple generations by stable inheritance.

Arsenic biotransformation genes and As transportation in soil-rice system affected by iron-oxidizing strain (Ochrobactrum sp.).

Arsenic (As) biotransformation in soil affects As biogeochemical cycling and is associated with As accumulation in rice. After inoculation with 1% iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) in paddy soil, As speciation, As biotransformation genes in soil, As/Fe in Fe plaques, and As accumulation in rice were characterized. Compared with the control, the available As concentrations in soils decreased while amorphous and poorly crystalline Fe-Al oxidized As and crystalline Fe-Al oxidized As fractions increased of F (FeOB) and RF (rice and FeOB) treatments.

Arsenic Transformation in Soil-Rice System Affected by Iron-Oxidizing Strain ( sp.) and Related Soil Metabolomics Analysis.

Iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) could oxidize Fe(II) and mediate biomineralization, which provides the possibility for its potential application in arsenic (As) remediation. In the present study, a strain named isolated previously, was inoculated into paddy soils to investigate the effect of FeOB inoculation on the As migration and transformation in paddy soils. The results showed that inoculation of sp.

Endoplasmic reticulum protein 29 is involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress in islet beta cells.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is correlated with insulin resistance and islet‑cell function. In the present study, the sub‑cellular localization and role of ER protein 29 (Erp29) were investigated in an in vitro ERS model of islet beta cells. The INS‑1 islet cell line was treated with various concentrations of tunicamycin to establish the ERS model.

Analysis of alternatives for insulinizing patients to achieve glycemic control and avoid accompanying risks of hypoglycemia.

The aims of the present study were to explore the efficacy of glycemic control and the risks of hypoglycemia with different methods of insulin therapy, and to provide reference data for the clinical treatment of diabetes. In this retrospective study, hospitalized patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between March and December 2014, in the Department of Endocrinology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, were divided into three groups, including an intensive insulin analogue therapy group, a premixed insulin analogue treatment group and a premixed human insulin therapy group. The efficacy of glycemic control and the incidence of hypoglycemia were determined in each of the insulin treatment groups.
