MiR398-regulated antioxidants contribute to Bamboo mosaic virus accumulation and symptom manifestation.

Virus infections that cause mosaic or mottling in leaves commonly also induce increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, how ROS contributes to symptoms is less well documented. Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV) causes chlorotic mosaic symptoms in both Brachypodium distachyon and Nicotiana benthamiana.

Semaphorin 4D promotes the proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway.

The present study aimed to investigate the role of semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) in bladder cancer cell proliferation and metastasis in vivo and in vitro. Effects of Sema4D modulation on cancer cell viability and clonogenic abilities were assessed by MTT assay and colony formation assay. Cell apoptosis, cell cycle analysis, transwell assays, and wound-healing assays were also assayed.

[[Urodynamic tests contribute to the choice of therapies for type-III B prostatitis].

Objective: To analyze the parameters of urodynamic tests for patients with type-III B prostatitis and evaluate the significance of the results of urodynamic tests in the choice of therapies for this disease.

Methods: Urodynamic tests were performed for 87 type-III B prostatitis patients aged 22-45 (30.7 ± 8.
