The Patterns of Morphological Change During Intracerebral Hemorrhage Expansion: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.

Hemorrhage expansion (HE) is a common and serious condition in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In contrast to the volume changes, little is known about the morphological changes that occur during HE. We developed a novel method to explore the patterns of morphological change and investigate the clinical significance of this change in ICH patients.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of : genome structure and genomic resources.

is used as traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, we report its complete chloroplast genome by Illumina pair-end sequencing. The total chloroplast (cp) genome size was 158,094 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats of 26,132 bp, separated by large single-copy and small single-copy regions of 86,508 bp and 19,322 bp, respectively.

Astragaloside IV inhibits cell proliferation of colorectal cancer cell lines through down-regulation of B7-H3.

Astragaloside IV showed a pivotal anti-cancer efficacy in multiple types of cancers and reversed chemoresistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it remained unknown whether and how Astragaloside IV suppressed the progression of CRC. In the present study, we found that Astragaloside IV treatment significantly and dose-dependently reduced cell proliferation of CRC cell lines (SW620 and HCT116), whereas it showed no significant influence on the cell proliferation of normal colonic cells (FHC).

MicroRNA-197 inhibits cell proliferation by targeting GAB2 in glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma is the most common type of primary brain tumor in adults, and is usually fatal in a short duration. Acquiring a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of glioblastoma is essential to the design of effective therapeutic strategies. Grb2-associated binding protein 2 (GAB2) is a member of the daughter of sevenless/Gab family of scaffolding adapters, and has been reported to be important in the development and progression of human cancer.

[Gaps and their natural disturbance characteristics in mid-subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest in Wanmulin].

Through field investigation on 96 gaps in some permanent plots of mid-subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest in Wanmulin Natural Reserve of Fujian Province, this paper dealt with the gap characteristics and their natural disturbance. The results showed that the area percentage of expanded gap (EG) and canopy gap (CG) in the forest landscape was 50.86% and 16.

[Life table and spectral analysis of endangered plant Taxus chinensis var. mairei population].

Based on the investigation in Longxi Mountain National Nature Reserve and the theory of survival analysis, a static life table of Taxus chinensis var. mairei population was worked out, the curves of its survival rate, mortality rate and killing power were drawn, and the population dynamics was analyzed by spectral analysis. The results showed that the survival curve of the population appeared to be a type of Deevey-III, and the high mortality of seeding was one of the important reasons which caused Taxus chinensis var.

[Height structures of dominant species of different subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest communities in Wanmulin Natural Reserve].

Based on the data of four subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest communities in Wanmulin Natural Reserve, whose dominant species were Tsoongiodendron odorum Chun, Cinnamomum micranthum Hayata, Castanopsis fabri Hance and Pinus massoniana, respectively, the height class and diameter class structures and the dynamics of height structure were analyzed. The results showed that the relationships between tree species, tree density, basal area at D. B.
