Adult neurogenesis in the primate hippocampus.

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) is crucial for learning, memory, and emotion. Deficits of AHN may lead to reduced cognitive abilities and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Extensive studies on rodent AHN have clarified the developmental and maturation processes of adult neural stem/progenitor cells.

Worker Characteristics and Measures Associated With Patient and Visitor Violence in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Multilevel Regression Analysis From China.

Objective: To analyze the patient and visitor workplace violence (PVV) toward health workers (HWs) and identify correlations between worker characteristics, measures against violence and exposure to PVV in COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey utilizing the international questionnaires in six public tertiary hospitals from Beijing in 2020 was conducted, and valid data from 754 respondents were collected. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to determine the association between independents and exposure to PVV.

Anti-colitic effects of Physalin B on dextran sodium sulfate-induced BALB/c mice by suppressing multiple inflammatory signaling pathways.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Physalin B is one of the main active withanolide existed in Physalis alkekengi L. var. franchetii (Mast.

Inhibition of iNOS alleviates cognitive deficits and depression in diabetic mice through downregulating the NO/sGC/cGMP/PKG signal pathway.

Diabetes mellitus often results in a number of complications involving impaired brain function, including cognitive deficits and depression. However, the potential mechanisms for diabetes-related cognitive deficits and depression are not fully understood. Neurons in the hippocampal, cortical and amygdala functional regions are more susceptible to damage during hyperglycemia.

Attenuation of atherosclerotic lesions in diabetic apolipoprotein E-deficient mice using gene silencing of macrophage migration inhibitory factor.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) involves the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS) and increased plasma MIF levels in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients are associated with AS. Here, we have been suggested that MIF could be a critical contributor for the pathological process of diabetes-associated AS by using adenovirus-mediated RNA interference. First, streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic animal model was constructed in 114 apolipoprotein E-deficient mice (apoE-/- mice) fed on a regular chow diet.

Genome sequence determination and analysis of a Chinese virulent strain, LMS, of Gallid herpesvirus type 2.

Marek's disease (MD) is a neoplastic and neurodegenerative disease of chickens, which is caused by the Gallid herpesvirus type 2 (GaHV-2). Although vaccination has been used widely in China, MD still occurs frequently. Some molecular epidemiologic studies have shown that Chinese GaHV-2 isolates seem to constitute a separate clade from strains isolated from other regions.

Development and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers in Cyclobalanopsis glauca (Fagaceae).

Premise Of The Study: We isolated and characterized polymorphic microsatellite loci in Cyclobalanopsis glauca (Fagaceae), an evergreen broadleaved monoecious tree, to provide tools for analyzing parentage and mating system.

Methods And Results: Thirteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed and tested in three C. glauca populations.

A set of microsatellite primers for Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae).

Premise Of The Study: Polymorphic microsatellite primers were developed in the seagrass Zostera japonica to investigate genetic variation and to identify clonal structure. •

Methods And Results: Thirteen polymorphic loci and 23 monomorphic loci were developed in Z. japonica.

Microsatellite primers for Halophila ovalis and cross-amplification in H. minor (Hydrocharitaceae).

Unlabelled: •

Premise Of The Study: Polymorphic microsatellite primers were developed in the seagrass Halophila ovalis to investigate genetic variation. •

Methods And Results: Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed in Halophila ovalis. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 12 across 80 H.

Microsatellite primers for vulnerable seagrass Halophila beccarii (Hydrocharitaceae).

Premise Of The Study: Polymorphic microsatellite primers were developed in the vulnerable seagrass Halophila beccarii to investigate genetic variation and provide necessary markers for studying its population genetic structure.

Methods And Results: Six polymorphic and six monomorphic microsatellite loci were developed in H. beccarii.
