Congenital bilateral coloboma of iris and choroid accompanied by unilateral multiple primary pigmented iris cysts: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Congenital iris and choroidal coloboma is a congenital ocular developmental anomaly, most occur in both eyes, which may exist in isolation or be accompanied by systemic developmental abnormalities. Herein, we report a case of congenital bilateral coloboma of iris and choroid accompanied by unilateral multiple primary pigmented iris cysts. The selection of treatment methods for iris cysts has always been a challenge for ophthalmologists.

Improves Defense Against by Regulating ROS and RNS Metabolism, Redox Balance, and Energy Flow in Cucumber Roots.

Plant survival in the terrestrial ecosystem is influenced by both beneficial and harmful microbes. spp. are a group of filamentous fungi that promote plant growth and resistance to harmful microbes.

[Size Distribution and Carbon Component Characteristics of Atmospheric Particulate Matter from Motor Vehicles].

Characterization of the size distribution and carbon components in particulates has become important for identifying the particulates in the atmosphere. The size distribution and carbon components of atmospheric particulate matter from motor vehicles in different regions were analyzed by using Micro-orifice uniform deposition impactors (MOUDI) and the organic carbon/elemental carbon (OC/EC) analyzer. With increasing particle size, the mass concentration of raw diesel/gasoline decreases.

Effects of RNA interference-mediated silencing of toll-like receptor 4 gene on proliferation and apoptosis of human breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells: An in vitro study.

Breast cancer is known as the most prevalent cancer in women worldwide, and has an undeniable negative impact on public health, both physically, and mentally. This study aims to investigate the effects of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene silencing on proliferation and apoptosis of human breast cancer cells to explore for a new theoretical basis for its treatment. TLR4 small interference RNA (siRNA) fragment recombinant plasmids were constructed, including TLR4 siRNA-1, TLR4 siRNA-2, and TLR4 siRNA-3.

[The Interaction Between a New Water-Soluble Meso-Tetrakis(Carboxyl) Zinc(Ⅱ) Porphyrin and Human Serum Albumin].

Porphyrin is a kind of photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy of cancer. Many porphyrin derivatives have been used in clinical treatment. Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is the carrier of drug transportation.

DNA/HSA interaction and nuclease activity of an iron(III) amphiphilic sulfonated corrole.

The DNA binding of amphiphilic iron(III) 2,17-bis(sulfonato)-5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole complex (Fe-SC) was studied using spectroscopic methods and viscosity measurements. Its nuclease-like activity was examined by using pBR322 DNA as a target. The interaction of Fe-SC with human serum albumin (HSA) in vitro was also examined using multispectroscopic techniques.

[Arthroscopic treatment for post-traumatic chronic wrist pain].

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effects of arthroscopy for post-traumatic chronic wrist pain.

Methods: From February 2007 to June 2010, 12 patients with post-traumatic chronic wrist pain treated with arthroscopy were reviewed. Among the patients, 9 patients were male and 3 patients were female, ranging in age from 19 to 47 years, with a mean of 35.

Genome-wide association study identifies ALDH7A1 as a novel susceptibility gene for osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a major public health problem. It is mainly characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and/or low-trauma osteoporotic fractures (OF), both of which have strong genetic determination. The specific genes influencing these phenotypic traits, however, are largely unknown.

Differences of height and body mass index of youths in urban vs rural areas in Hunan province of China.

Background: Economic reforms in China were implemented approximately 30 years ago. Since then, people's nutrition, living conditions and overall health have continually improved, but there has been an imbalance between the progresses in urban vs rural areas. Height and body mass index (BMI) are regarded as two important indicators of nutritional status and overall health.

Bivariate whole genome linkage analyses for total body lean mass and BMD.

Unlabelled: A genome-wide bivariate analysis was conducted for TBLM and BMD at the spine and hip in a large white sample. We found some QTLs shared by TBLM and BMD in the entire sample and the sex-specific subgroups, and QTLs with potential pleiotropy were disclosed.

Introduction: Previous studies suggested that total body lean mass (TBLM) and BMD are highly genetically correlated.

DNA interactions of cobalt(III) mixed-polypyridyl complexes containing asymmetric ligands.

Three novel asymmetric ligands, 3-(pyridine-2-yl)-5,6-diphenyl-as-triazine (pdtb), 3-(pyridine-2-yl)-as-triazino[5,6-f]acenaphthylene (pdta) and 3-(pyridine-2-yl)-as-triazino[5,6-f]phenanthroline (pdtp) and their cobalt(III) complexes have been synthesized and characterized. Binding of the three complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) has been investigated by spectroscopic methods, viscosity, cyclic voltammetry, and electrophoresis measurements. The experimental results indicate that the size and shape of the intercalated ligand have a marked effect on the binding affinity of complexes to CT-DNA.

Synthesis, crystal structure and DNA cleavage activities of copper(II) complexes with asymmetric tridentate ligands.

Two asymmetric tridentate copper(II) complexes, [Cu(dppt)Cl(2)].0.25H(2)O (1) (dppt=3-(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)-5,6-diphenyl-as-triazine) and [Cu(pta)Cl(2)] (2) (pta=3-(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)-as-triazino[5,6-f]acenaphthylene), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and Fast atomic bombardment mass spectra.
