MiR-199a-3p promotes repair of myocardial infarction by targeting NACC2.

Objective: Myocardial infarction (MI) has gained widespread interest due to its high death and disability rate worldwide. Some miRNAs are markers of heart disease. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the mechanism for repairing MI injury.

Detailed structure information a highly thermostable Tb-cluster that based on a prodrug ligand of 2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid.

In this brief data article, we present the precise structural information, PARD data and thermographic analysis of the Tb-cluster. Detailed structure, luminescence and detecting properties were discussed in our previous study (Zhao et al., 2017) [1].

Association Between Dentin Matrix Protein 1 (rs10019009) Polymorphism and Ankylosing Spondylitis in a Chinese Han Population from Shandong Province.

Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is the most common rheumatic condition that is slowly progressive and predominantly affects adolescents. Pathological bone formation associated with AS is an important cause of disability. The aim of the study was to investigate the possible involvement of the genes related to endochondral ossification and ectopia ossification in genetic susceptibility to AS in a Chinese Han population.

[Recent developments of the study on the energy metabolism in the meridians].

Based on the literatures retrieved on CNKI and PubMed database in recent twenty years, the major indices of meridian activities, for instance, ATP, oxygen partial pressure, transcutaneous CO2 emission, pH value, temperature, and the energy metabolic characters along the meridians, are analyzed and summarized in this paper. The selection requirements of study subjects, the acupoint selection principles, and research methods are introduced in great detail according to selecting appropriate pathological model, applying the specifity of acupoints and the physiologic characteristics of meridians in order to establish cooperation among relevant fields.

[Effects of wheat and soybean stubbles on soil microbial ecological characteristics in cucumber field].

The study with traditional dilution plate method and BIOLOG ECO system indicated that under wheat and soybean stubbles, the amounts of soil fungi, bacteria and actinomyces in cucumber field increased, while that of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum decreased (P <0.
