Transcriptomic analysis reveals effects of fertilization towards growth and quality of Fritillariae thunbergii bulbus.

Fritillariae thunbergii Bulbus (FTB) is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been widely cultivated for its expectorant, antitussive, antiasthmatic, antiviral, and anticancer properties. The yield and quality of F. thunbergii are influenced by cultivation conditions, such as the use of fertilizers.

Management of pulmonary arterial hypertension：before, during and after pregnancy.

Pregnancy complicated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and dangerous condition for both the mother and the fetus. Pregnancy-specific alterations in the maternal cardiovascular system suggest that PAH in pregnancy may manifest more severe symptoms compared with those in non-pregnant patients. Although most societal guidelines recommend early termination in the case of PAH, some recent data suggests that maternal mortality among patients with PAH is lower than previously observed and suggests if a woman decides to proceed with the pregnancy, she should be counseled about the potential risks of continuing with the pregnancy.

Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses uncover the early response mechanisms of Catharanthus roseus under ultraviolet-B radiation.

Catharanthus roseus produces a large array of terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs) that are important natural source for many drugs. Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation have been proved to have regulatory effect towards biosynthesis of TIAs, which were meaningful for boost of TIA production. To decipher more comprehensive molecular characteristics in C.

The potential for synthesized invasive plant biochar with hydroxyapatite to mitigate allelopathy of Solidago canadensis.

Few studies tried to explore the mitigation effect and underlying mechanisms of biochar and their complex for negative allelopathy from invasive plants, which may provide a new way in the invasive plant management. Herein, an invasive plant (Solidago canadensis)-derived biochar (IBC) and its composite with hydroxyapatite (HAP/IBC) were synthesized by high temperature pyrolysis, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Then, both the batch adsorption and pot experiments were conducted to compare the removal effects of kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucoside (C H O , kaempf), an allelochemical from S.

Hexokinase 2 promoted cell motility and proliferation by activating Akt1/p-Akt1 in human ovarian cancer cells.

Background: Recently, increasing evidence has indicated that elevation of Hexokinase 2 (HK2) plays an important role in several cancers on regulating cell motility and growth. However, its role on regulating cell EMT in human ovarian cancer still less to known.

Methods: The transwell and wound-healing assay were used to detect the effective of HK2 on regulating motility of ovarian cancer cells.
