Article Synopsis
  • Cadmium (Cd) is harmful to plants and people, and it makes it hard for rice to grow properly.
  • A protein called OsbZIP39 helps rice manage Cd by controlling how much the plant takes in, and when exposed to Cd, it moves to the cell's nucleus to start a protective response.
  • Some rice types react differently to Cd due to variations in the OsbZIP39 gene, but overall, this protein helps rice take in less Cd, which is important for growing healthier rice.

This study aimed to investigate the effects and safety of 308 nm excimer laser (308 nm EL) and tacrolimus ointment (TO) in the treatment of facial vitiligo (FV). We searched Cochrane Library, PUBMED, EMBASE, CNKI, and WANGFANG from inception to June 1, 2023. Outcomes included overall response rate (ORR), total adverse reaction rate (TARR), recurrence rate at 3-month (RR-3) and recurrence rate at 6-month (RR-6).

The terpenoids in Pogostemon cablin have complex structures and abundant pharmacological effects. Patchouli alcohol(PA) and pogostone(PO) have a high medicinal value by virtue of anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and other biological activities. Due to the low content of terpenoid metabolites in P.

Circular RNA (circRNA), a type of RNA that is widely expressed in mammalian cells, is considered to be essential in tumorigenesis. CircRNA can regulate target gene expression by interacting with the corresponding microRNA (miRNA). Our preliminary results showed that the expression levels of 1,817 circRNAs were significantly different in colon cancer tissue compared with paracancerous tissue, of which 1,236 were upregulated and 581 were downregulated.

Circular ribonucleic acids (circRNAs) are widely expressed in human cells and play an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Some circRNAs have microRNA (miRNA) binding response elements and interact with miRNA to regulate the expression of target genes.Four patients with a preliminary diagnosis of dengue fever (DF), peripheral whole blood sample in anticoagulant was collected before treatment (pretreatment group) and after effective treatment (posttreatment group), and eight samples were separated and used to screen differentially expressed circRNAs with microarray analysis.

Recently, rapidly accumulating evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in human tumorigenesis, and the dysregulation of miRNAs has been observed in many cancers, including prostate cancer. miR-145-5p, an miRNA with reduced expression in prostate cancer cells, has been shown to have a tumor suppressive role in a variety of tumors. However, its underlying mechanism requires further elucidation.

Background/aims: Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a type of RNA that is widely expressed in human cells, have essential roles in the development and progression of cancer. CircRNAs contain microRNA (miRNA) binding sites and can function as miRNA sponges to regulate gene expression by removing the inhibitory effect of an miRNA on its target gene.

Methods: We used the bioinformatics software TargetScan and miRanda to predict circRNA-miRNA and miRNAi-Mrna interactions.

Article Synopsis
  • Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS) is a rare cancer characterized by a growth of cells resembling interdigitating dendritic cells, which are crucial for activating T lymphocytes in the immune system.
  • IDCS typically manifests as lymphadenopathy, often affecting solitary lymph nodes, though it can also occur in extra nodal sites.
  • The authors present a new case of primary cutaneous IDCS in a 42-year-old patient and discuss existing cases documented in medical literature, noting that such skin lesions are extremely uncommon.

Objective: To explore the mechanism of the seed dormancy of Berchemia lineatea and the method of breaking the dormancy.

Methods: Hundred-seed method, TTC and imbibition method was used to measure thousand seeds weight, seed viability and hard seed percentage, respectively. The germination inhibitor's biological characteristic was identified from the extract of every part in its fructification.
