Long non-coding RNA H19 regulates Bcl-2, Bax and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase expression in spontaneous abortion.

Spontaneous abortion (SA) is the most frequently occurring pregnancy disorder and is a serious threat to women's health. Identifying novel risk factors and the molecular mechanisms underlying SA are important. The present study reported that the RNA expression levels of long non-coding RNA H19 were lower in SA group compared with those in the control group, and the expression of was increased and levels of and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase ( were decreased in SA group at both the mRNA and protein levels.

[Effect of different fertilization treatments on growth,secondary metabolites,and seed yield and quality of Perilla frutescens].

Perilla frutescens,an annual plant in Labiatae family,is grown throughout China and can be used for medicine purposes and as food additives. The present field experiment was carried out to study the effects of different fertilizer treatments on the concentrations and accumulations of antioxidant components,including flavonoids and polyphenols,growth,seed yields and qualities of this plant.The main aim of this study is to provide farmers some advice for improving the yields and qualities of P.

[Impacts of Biochar and Straw Application on Soil Organic Carbon Transformation].

To explore the effects of biochar and straw application on soil carbon constitution and transformation, an incubation experiment was conducted to study the characteristics of the release of carbon dioxide,as well as the changes in microbial biomass carbon and organic carbon in soil after applying biochar or straw only, or biochar plus straw. The results showed that the straw mineralization rate of organic carbon in soil was 21.50% at 2% application level, which was much higher than that of biochar (8.
