Objective: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer that affects mostly children and young adults. Despite the advances in osteosarcoma treatment, the long-term survival rate of metastatic patients has not significantly improved in the past few decades, thus demonstrating the need for novel therapeutic targets or methods to improve metastatic osteosarcoma treatment. In this study we aimed to elucidate the role of miR-659-3p and SRPK1 in osteosarcoma.

Q808 is an innovation chemical compound that has potent anti-convulsant effect. Exploring its mechanism can not only explore the pathogenesis of epilepsy but also provide a theoretical basis for its clinical application.

However, it remains unclear whether the independence of the leaf traits revealed across species still holds within species, especially under stressed conditions. Here, a suite of traits in these dimensions were measured in leaves and roots of a typical mangrove species, , which grows in habitats with a similar sunny and hot environment but different soil salinity in southern China.

Rice-fish is an important traditional farming system. In the rice-fish system, common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is the major species raised in paddy field where the environment is characterized by shadow water. Under a long-term of natural selection and artificial selection, the carp would adapt to the paddy field environment.

Isotopic enrichment factor (Δ, the difference between the δ value of food and a consumer tissue) is an important parameter in using stable isotope analysis (SIA) to reconstruct diets, characterize trophic relationships, elucidate patterns of resource allocation, and construct food webs. Isotopic enrichment factor has been considered as a constancy value across a broad range of animals. However, recent studies showed that the isotopic enrichment factor differed among various types of animals although the magnitude of variation was not clear.

A capillary electrophoresis method coupled with electrochemiluminescence detection for the analysis of vinorelbine (VNB) in the urine of tumor patients was established in this research. Complete determination of VNB was achieved in 8 min using a background electrolyte of 50 mmol/L phosphate buffer (pH 9.0) and a separation voltage of 15 kV.
