Innexin hemichannel activation by ecSOD monopolymer reduces ROS.

The extracellular superoxide dismutases (ecSODs) secreted by reduce the reactive oxygen species (ROS) stimulated by the . Here, we demonstrate that the bacterial transferase hexapeptide (hexapep) motif and bacterial-immunoglobulin-like (BIg-like) domain of ecSODs bind to the cell membrane and transiently open hemichannels, facilitating ROS reductions. RNAi-mediated ecSOD silencing elevated ROS in host hemocytes, impairing parasitoid larva development.

Experimental study of the effect on bone metabolism and bone histomorphometry of osteoporosis rats with birdpecking and revolving moxibustion on twelve back-shu points.

The aim of the study was to explore the effect of birdpecking and revolving moxibustion on twelve back shenshu points on the bone metabolism and bone histomorphometry of osteoporosis rats. The 50 female rats of 8 months old that did not pregnant were collected and randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group, moxibustion group, moxibustion and estrogen group, and estrogen group. All the rats, except for the rats in the sham-operation group, received ovarian surgery to establish the models.
