The family members of PEX11 are key factors involved in regulation of peroxisome proliferation. Sixty-six PEX11p candidates of PEX11 gene family from 26 representative fungal species were obtained and analyzed by bioinformatic strategies. In most filamentous fungi, 2 or 3 potential PEX11ps were found, in contrast with 1 or 2 in yeast species.

The coordinated responses of the sympathoadreno-medullary (SAM) system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis could improve the organism's capacity to cope with stress, but its underlying mechanism is still unclear. In the present study, 32 Wistar rats were employed and divided into four groups: control, CUMS, PROP and PRAZ. After the chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS) model was built in the latter three groups, all animals were exposed to inescapable footshock.

The peroxisomal matrix proteins involved in many important biological metabolism pathways in eukaryotic cells are encoded by nucleal genes, synthesized in the cytoplasm and then transported into the organelles. Targeting and import of these proteins depend on their two peroxisomal targeting signals (PTS1 and PTS2) in sequence as we have known so far. The vectors of the fluorescent fusions with PTS, i.

Objective: To study the personality, stress, harmful emotions, coping styles and oral immune change of patients with TMD.

Methods: Using MMPI, LES, Trait coping inventory, SDS, and SAS to test patients and normal control, and using radiate-immune method to determine SIgA content in saliva.

Results: The scores of TMD patients in MMPI were significantly higher than those of the normal control (P<0.
