Expression pattern and functional analysis of kinesin-14 KIFC1 in spermatogenesis of Macaca mulatta.

C-terminal kinesin motor KIFC1 is increasingly concerned with an essential role in germ cell development. During the spermatogenesis of mice, rats, and crustaceans, KIFC1 functions in regulating meiotic chromosome separation, acrosome vesicle transportation, and nuclear morphology maintenance. The expression pattern of KIFC1 is conservatively concentrated at the acrosome and nucleus of haploid sperm cells.

Effects of water fluoridation on early embryonic development of zebrafish.

Fluoride has strong electronegativity and exposes diversely in nature. Water fluoridation is the most pervasive form of occurrence, representing a significant threat to human health. In this study, we investigate the morphometric and physiological alterations triggered by fluoride stimulation during the embryogenesis of zebrafish and reveal its putative effects of stage- and/or dose-dependent.

Kinesin-14 KIFC1 promotes acrosome formation and chromatin maturation during mouse spermiogenesis.

KIFC1, a member of kinesin-14 subfamily motors, is essential for meiotic cell division and acrosome formation during spermatogenesis. However, the functions of KIFC1 in the formation and maintenance of the acrosome in male germ cells remain to be elucidated. In this study, we report the structural deformities of acrosomes in the in vivo KIFC1 inhibition mouse models.

Magnetic resonance-guided thermal ablation for small liver malignant tumor located on segment II or IVa abutting the heart: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy magnetic resonance (MR)-guided percutaneous thermal ablation for the treatment of small liver malignant tumors of segment II and IVa (≤3.0 cm) abutting the heart.

Method: The enrollment of 24 patients with 25 malignant liver lesions located on the II or IVa segment abutting the heart who underwent MRI-guided thermal ablation between August 2010 and February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.

Dataset for NiO/ZnO biomorphic nanocomposite using a poplar tree leaf template to generate an enhanced gas sensing platform to detect n-butanol.

The SEM image data presented in this article was collected by the Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) performed on an XL-30 ESEM FEG scanning electron microscopy. The diameter stastics data was collected and calculated by the Image-Pro Plus software system. The UV-Vis Res spectrum was collected by solid state UV diffuse reflector Shimadzu UV-4100 at wavelength 200-800 nm.
