Bibliometric analysis of Mongolian medicine and medicinal materials in China since 2000.

Aim Of The Study: To analyze the progress in Mongolian medicine and medicinal materials and to highlight its development process, emerging trends, and hotspots.

Materials And Methods: Papers on Mongolian medicine and medicinal materials from January 2000 to May 2022 were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database. Using the collaboration network analysis of CiteSpace V and VOSviewer software, the cooperation among individuals and institutions in the field of scientific research was analyzed.

interacts with and regulates cell proliferation.

Geminin is a master regulator of cell-cycle progression that ensures the timely onset of DNA replication and prevents re-replication in vertebrates and invertebrates. Previously, we identified two genes, and , in the silkworm , and we found that RNA interference of led to re-replication. However, the function of remains poorly understood.

A Novel Mathematical Model for Correcting the Physiologic Variance of Two-Dimensional Echocardiographic Measurements in Healthy Chinese Adults.

Background: To facilitate differentiation between normal and abnormal values, it is necessary to correct echocardiographic measurements for physiologic variance induced by age, gender, and body size variables.

Methods: A total of 34 two-dimensional echocardiographic parameters were measured in 1,224 healthy Chinese adults with body mass index < 25.0 kg/m.

Two Geminin homologs regulate DNA replication in silkworm, Bombyx mori.

DNA replication is rigorously controlled in cells to ensure that the genome duplicates exactly once per cell cycle. Geminin is a small nucleoprotein, which prevents DNA rereplication by directly binding to and inhibiting the DNA replication licensing factor, Cdt1. In this study, we have identified 2 Geminin genes, BmGeminin1 and BmGeminn2, in silkworm, Bombyx mori.

DIVERSITY OF VASCULAR REACTIVITY AND THE TREATMENT RESPONSE IN DIABETIC, HYPERTENSIVE, HYPERLIPIDEMIC, AND HEALTHY RATS SUBJECTED TO HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK.

The current diagnosis and treatment guidelines for severe trauma and shock are all for healthy population. Few studies focused on the pathophysiological features and treatments in metabolic diseases after severe trauma and shock. Vascular reactivity is significantly decreased after severe trauma and shock.

Mitochondrial Apoptotic Pathway Is Activated by H2O2-Mediated Oxidative Stress in BmN-SWU1 Cells from Bombyx mori Ovary.

Apoptosis is a known regulator of morphogenetic events. In mammals, the critical role of oxidative stress-induced apoptosis has been well-studied; however, in insects the role of oxidative stress in apoptosis is not clear. In a previous study, we showed that apoptosis-related genes are present in the silkworm Bombyx mori, an important lepidopteran insect model.

Effects of starvation and hormones on DNA synthesis in silk gland cells of the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Silk gland cells of silkworm larvae undergo multiple cycles of endomitosis for the synthesis of silk proteins during the spinning phase. In this paper, we analyzed the endomitotic DNA synthesis of silk gland cells during larval development, and found that it was a periodic fluctuation, increasing during the vigorous feeding phase and being gradually inhibited in the next molting phase. That means it might be activated by a self-regulating process after molting.

Diabetes and hyperlipidemia induce dysfunction of VSMCs: contribution of the metabolic inflammation/miRNA pathway.

Vascular endothelial cell injury is considered to be the major factor inducing vascular complications in metabolic diseases and plays an important role in other organ damage. With diabetic and hyperlipidemic rats and cultured VSMCs, the present study was aimed at investigating whether the early damage of VSMCs during metabolic diseases plays a critical role in vascular dysfunction and the underlying mechanisms and would be a promising treatment target. With diabetic and hyperlipidemic rats and cultured VSMCs, the changes and relationships of vascular relaxation and contractile function to the vital organ damage and the underlying mechanisms were investigated; meanwhile, the protective and preventive effects of lowering blood lipid and glucose and inhibition of diabetes and hyperlipidemia-induced vascular hyperreactivity were observed.

Inhibition of BmNPV replication in silkworm cells using inducible and regulated artificial microRNA precursors targeting the essential viral gene lef-11.

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a major silkworm pathogen, causing substantial economic losses to the sericulture industry annually. We demonstrate a novel anti-BmNPV system expressing mature artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs) targeting the viral lef-11 gene. The mature amiRNAs inhibited the lef-11 gene in silkworm BmN-SWU1 cells.

DNA replication events during larval silk gland development in the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

The silk gland is an important organ in silkworm as it synthesizes silk proteins and is critical to spinning. The genomic DNA content of silk gland cells dramatically increases 200-400 thousand times for the larval life span through the process of endomitosis. Using in vitro culture, DNA synthesis was measured using BrdU labeling during the larval molt and intermolt periods.

A septal angle measured on computed tomographic pulmonary angiography can noninvasively estimate pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

Purpose: To explore the correlation between a septal angle measured on computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) determined by right heart catheterization in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).

Materials And Methods: Eighty-six patients with CTEPH (54 men, mean age: 53.08±12.

Objective: To explore the relationship of spinal ventricular septal angle (SVSA) measured by computer tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and right cardiac functions, N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).

Methods: Forty-four CTEPH patients, 26 males and 18 females aged (52 ± 12) years old on average, at our hospital from January 2008 to January 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. SVSA and such pulmonary artery obstruction indices as Qanadli and Mastora indices were evaluated by two independent radiologists.
