Identification, Molecular Characteristics, and Evolution of YABBY Gene Family in .

The YABBY gene family plays an important role in plant growth and development, such as response to abiotic stress and lateral organ development. TFs are well studied in numerous plant species, but no study has performed a genome-wide investigation of the YABBY gene family in . Therefore, a genome-wide comparative analysis of the YABBY gene family was performed to study their sequence structures, cis-acting elements, phylogenetics, expression, chromosome locations, collinearity analysis, protein interaction, and subcellular localization analysis.

23G Minimally Invasive Vitrectomy Combined with Glaucoma Drainage Valve Implantation and Phacoemulsification Cataract Extraction for Neovascular Glaucoma Secondary to Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy with Vitreous Hemorrhage.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the combined application of 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy, glaucoma drainage valve implantation, and phacoemulsification cataract extraction in the treatment of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) combined with vitreous hemorrhage (VH).

Methods: Eighty-three patients (91 eyes) with PDR diagnosed as NVG phase III complicated with VH from June 2018 to May 2020 were selected as the study subjects. The subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups: group A was treated with 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with glaucoma drainage valve implantation; group B was given 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with phacoemulsification cataract extraction; and group C was treated with 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with glaucoma drainage valve implantation and phacoemulsification cataract extraction.

The Melastoma dodecandrum genome and the evolution of Myrtales.

Melastomataceae has abundant morphological diversity with high economic and ornamental merit in Myrtales. The phylogenetic position of Myrtales is still contested. Here, we report the chromosome-level genome assembly of Melastoma dodecandrum in Melastomataceae.

BCL11A Promotes the Progression of Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

We report functional and clinical data uncovering the significance of B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11A (BCL11A) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). We examined BCL11A expression in a cohort of LSCC patients and evaluated the association between BCL11A expression and clinicopathological features. We investigated the consequences of overexpressing BCL11A in the LSCC cell line on proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle, chemosensitivity, and growth .

To explore the diagnosis,treatment,surgical approach and prognosis of parapharyngeal space tumors.The clinical data of 188 patients with parapharyngeal space tumor who were treated from January 2007 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.All patients underwent imaging examination before operation.

Kinetic resolution of racemic styrene oxide at a high concentration by recombinant Aspergillus usamii epoxide hydrolase in an n-hexanol/buffer biphasic system.

Using the cell-free extract of engineered E. coli/Aueh2, expressing the recombinant Aspergillus usamii epoxide hydrolase (reAuEH2), as a biocatalyst, the kinetic resolution technique of racemic styrene oxide (rac-SO) was examined. In a phosphate buffer system (50mM, pH 7.

Association of the microsatellite (GT)n repeat polymorphisms of the HO-1 gene promoter and corresponding serum levels with the risk of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Conclusion: Long (GT)n repeat polymorphisms in the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene promoter and decreased serum HO-1 levels are associated with a higher susceptibility to laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).

Objective: In this case-control study, the association of HO-1 microsatellite (GT)n repeat polymorphisms and serum levels with the risk of LSCC was investigated.

Methods: A total of 142 LSCC patients, 54 vocal leukoplakia patients and 98 healthy controls, were examined for (GT)n polymorphisms by sequencing, and the serum HO-1 levels were detected in a sub-set from participants above by ELISA.

[Investigation on pinworm infection and relative factors on prevalence among urban and rural preschool children in Xianyang City].

A total of Eight hundred eighty-six children from 3 to 7 years old in 8 kindergartens were sampled in urban and rural area in Xianyang City from March to May 2012. The cellophane tape swab technique was used to examine pinworm eggs. Children's hygiene habits, clinical symptoms and hygienic condition were surveyed by questionnairing.

HSP70/CD80 DNA vaccine inhibits airway remodeling by regulating the transcription factors T-bet and GATA-3 in a murine model of chronic asthma.

Introduction: Airway remodeling is an important pathologic feature of chronic asthma. T-bet and GATA-3, the key transcription factors for differentiation toward Th1 and Th2 cells, play an important role in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness and airway remodeling. Previous studies showed that HSP70/CD80 DNA vaccine can reduce airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation in acute asthmatic mice.

[Changes in cardiac specific microRNA-208a level in peripheral blood in ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction patients].

Objective: To observe serum cardiac specific microRNA-208a (miR-208a) levels in ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI) patients, and to explore the role of serum miR-208a levels in the diagnosis of STEAMI.

Methods: The serum miR-208a concentrations were assessed within 12 hours after STEAMI, while 30 healthy individuals as control. Serum miR-208a concentrations were measured with real-time quantity reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) or MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) concentrations were measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Synthesis and enhanced ethanol sensing characteristics of alpha-Fe2O3/SnO2 core-shell nanorods.

Alpha-Fe(2)O(3)/SnO(2) core-shell nanorods are synthesized via a three-step process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses reveal that their diameters and lengths are respectively in the ranges 35-120 nm and 0.35-1.
