[Effect of BBM gene on callus growth and ginsenoside content in Panax quinquefolius].

Baby Boom(BBM) gene is a key regulatory factor in embryonic development and regeneration, cell proliferation, callus growth, and differentiation promotion. Since the genetic transformation system of Panax quinquefolius is unstable with low efficiency and long period, this study attempted to transfer BBM gene of Zea mays to P. quinquefolius callus by gene gunship to investigate its effect on the callus growth and ginsenoside content, laying a foundation for establishing efficient genetic transformation system of P.

Effect of sodium alginate on physical-chemical, protein conformation and sensory of low-fat frankfurters.

In order to study the potential of replacing pork back-fat by sodium alginate solution (sodium alginate/water = 1/29, W/W), the physico-chemical, protein conformation and sensory of frankfurters made with various amounts of pork back-fat and sodium alginate were evaluated. With the increase of sodium alginate solute, the fat and energy was decreased significantly (P < .05).

[Analysis of Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis of 46 Elderly Patients with Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)].

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL).

Methods: The clinical data of 46 elderly PTCL patients admitted in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from April 2008 to August 2014 were collected, the clinical features, prognostic factors and treatments, as well as followed-up outcome were analyzed retrospectively. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method, and the COX proportional hazard model was used to perform multivariate analysis.

Manual Therapy for Hip Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Hip osteoarthritis (HOA) is one of the major causes of disability in seniors and is costly to society. Manual therapy is one therapeutic approach to treating HOA.

Objectives: To assess the effect of manual therapy compared to the placebo or wait-list/no treatment or a minimal intervention control for HOA at post-treatment and short-, intermediate- and long-term follow-ups.

[Research progress on epstein-barr virus and its related lymphoma].

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) belongs to r-DNA herpes virus family and the first discovered virus associated with human tumors. Numerous studies have found that EBV infection is related to the occurrence of a variety of lymphomas, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, NK/T-cell lymphoma, HIV-related lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Recent studies indicated that the gene expression products of EBV latent infections play an important role in the lymphoma, and these findings provide the theoretical basis for the treatment of EBV-related lymphoma.

[Effect of Qianjin Fubao on changes of behavior and estradiol level in chronic stress model rats].

Objective: To investigate the effect of Qianjin Fubao (QJFB) on behavior and estradiol level in femal chronic stress model rats.

Method: Twenty four female Wistar rats (2 month old) were evenly randomized into normal control, animal model and QJFB (0.7 g x kg(-1) x d(-1)) group.
