Doxorubicin (Dox) is an effective anthracycline anticancer drug. However, recent studies have revealed that Dox resistance is a highly critical issue, and a significant reason for treatment failure. Baicalin is a flavonoid component in the roots of Georgi; however, whether baicalin can increase chemosensitivity in breast cancers is still unclear.

Background: Cisplatin administration may induce muscle atrophy, thereby reducing the fitness level of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). To date, only animal studies have been conducted to test the effectiveness of exercise interventions in diminishing side effects of cisplatin.
Aim: To determine whether exercise training improves physical fitness and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients receiving chemotherapy for Head & Neck (H&N).

Objective: To investigate the reasons of natural extinction of snails by comparing the difference of the water chemical properties between the snail-breeding marshland and non-snail marshland in Eastern Dongting Lake areas.
Methods: Three adjoining marshlands in Eastern Dongting Lake areas were selected, one was a snail-breeding marshland, the second was a non-snail marshland, and the third was a boundary zone between them. During the periods of water-rising season, wet season and water-falling season, the water samples from the bottom of 0.
Objective: To explore the association between infections with HIV and , and to determine the influences of the HIV- coinfections on the immune system of Yi people.
Methods: A block design study was conducted in a Yi county in southwestern China, one of the endemic areas of both HIV/AIDS and in China. All participants were screened for HIV antibodies and antibodies (SjAb) and were classified into four groups: HIV(+)/(-), HIV(-)/ (+), HIV(+)/(+), and HIV(-)/(-).

Objective: To explore the dynamic changes of snail densities in autumn and winter and the relationship between hydrological and meteorological factors and snail growth and decline.
Methods: From Octobers to Decembers of 2007 to 2014, a bottomland close to eastern Dongting Lake was selected as the study field. The snails and elevation of the points were surveyed, and the hydrological and meteorological data were collected.

Objective: To investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of infection of population and its risk factors in Eastern Dongting Lake area in 2012 and 2014, so as to provide the reference for formulating effective intervention measures.
Methods: Junshan District was selected as a study field in Eastern Dongting Lake area. The method of spatial autocorrelation analysis was applied to analyze the change of spatial distribution of infection in Junshan District in 2012 and 2014.

Protein phosphatase 2A is one of four major classes of serine/threonine phosphatases. Overexpression of brain-specific regulatory subunit PPP2R2 in neuron cells is implicated in pathogenesis. The alternative splicing of PPP2R2B encodes two isoforms.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The multifunctional protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a heterotrimeric serine/threonine protein phosphatase composed of a scaffolding, catalytic and regulatory subunits. By modifying various downstream signal transducers, the aberrant expression of the brain-targeted regulatory subunit PPP2R2B is associated with the onset of a panel of neuronal disorders. The alternatively splicing of PPP2R2B encodes two regulatory subunit isoforms that determine cellular distribution of the neuron-specific holoenzyme to mitochondria (Bbeta2) and cytoplasm (Bbeta1), respectively.
