The complete mitochondrial genome of the cigarette beetle, (Coleoptera: Anobiidae).

The cigarette beetle, (Fabricius), is an important pest of stored commodities and distributed widely in the world. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of which was 15,958 bp and composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The gene order and orientation of were identical to those of other Coleopteran mitogenomes.

The GSTA1 polymorphism and cyclophosphamide therapy outcomes in lupus nephritis patients.

Pulsed low-dose cyclophosphamide (CTX) therapy has become a very effective approach in improving the clinical outcomes of lupus nephritis (LN) patients. However, variations of CTX therapeutic outcomes in LN patients are incompletely understood. We investigated the contributions of known allelic variants to CTX therapy outcomes in 77 LN patients.
