[Construction and application of lentivirus overexpression vector with two labeling genes fused with CopGFP and Puro].

To construct the lentivirus overexpression vector with two label genes fused with CopGFP and Puro and to detect the emission of green fluorescence as well as resistance to puromycin in liver cancer cells infected with lentivirus packaged with the above vector. Firstly, two fragments containing copGFP and Puro coding sequences were amplified from pCDH-CMV-MCS-copGFP and pLKO.1 respectively; secondly, the two amplified regions were fused with each other by recombinant PCR; thirdly, the fusion DNA fragment was cut and inserted into pCDH-CMV-MCS-copGFP vector, which was linearized with the same restriction endonuclease as used to digest fusion DNA fragment: BamH Ⅰ and Sal Ⅰ.

Cinnamaldehyde prevents intergenerational effect of paternal depression in mice via regulating GR/miR-190b/BDNF pathway.

Paternal stress exposure-induced high corticosterone (CORT) levels may contribute to depression in offspring. Clinical studies disclose the association of depressive symptoms in fathers with their adolescent offspring. However, there is limited information regarding the intervention for intergenerational inheritance of depression.

Effect of different phosphate binders on fibroblast growth factor 23 levels in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Serum intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels are progressively increased in relation to the severity of kidney dysfunction. High serum intact FGF23 concentration is associated with the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Clinically, phosphate binders are commonly used to reduce serum intact FGF23 levels in CKD patients by lowering serum phosphate levels.

Atractylodis rhizoma water extract attenuates fructose-induced glomerular injury in rats through anti-oxidation to inhibit TRPC6/p-CaMK4 signaling.

Background: Atractylodis rhizoma, an aromatic herb for resolving dampness, is used to treat Kidney-related edema in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands years. This herb possesses antioxidant effect. However, it is not yet clear how Atractylodis rhizoma prevents glomerular injury through its anti-oxidation.

[Hyperfine structure study of binary sodium phosphates by Raman spectroscopy].

Quantum chemistry ab initio calculation was applied to study the hyperfine structure of binary sodium phosphates. A series of phosphate model clusters were designed to simulate the microstructure of phosphates with different components. Closed-shell Hatree-Fock method (RHF) and the basis sets of 6-31G (d, p) were employed to optimize structures and calculate Raman frequencies of these phosphate model clusters.
