TRIM13 Reduces Damage to Alveolar Epithelial Cells in COPD by Inhibiting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced ER-Phagy.

Purpose: Tripartite motif-containing protein 13 (TRIM13) directly or indirectly participates in autophagy and apoptosis. However, it remains unclear whether TRIM13 participates in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) progression. This study aimed to reveal the molecular mechanisms through which TRIM13 regulates alveolar epithelial cell injury in COPD to provide new molecular targets for COPD treatment.

LncRNA RP11-521C20.3 Inhibits Cigarette Smoke Extract-Induced Apoptosis in A549 Cells by Targeting BMF Signaling.

Objective: LncRNAs are closely correlated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We investigated the molecular mechanism of lncRNA RP11-521C20.3, which targets the action of the Bcl-2 modifying factor (BMF) signaling pathway in the apoptosis of cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-treated A549 cells.

Voltammetric Determination of Dinonyl Diphenylamine and Butylated Hydroxytoluene in Mineral and Synthetic Oil.

A method is reported for the determination of diphenylamine and butylated hydroxytoluene in mineral and synthetic oil. The procedure used differential pulse voltammetry with a glassy carbon electrode. This method was then used for determining these antioxidants in supporting electrolyte consisting of dilute sulfuric acid and sodium dodecyl sulfonate in ethanol.

[Eco-toxicological effects of selenium and its critical value on Oryza sativa].

In a pot experiment with brown-yellow soil, this paper studied the effects of different concentration selenium on the growth and activated oxygen- scavenging system of Oryza sativa. The results showed that low concentration Se (< 8 mg x kg(-1)) had a promoting effect on the wheat biomass, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll a/b, and activated oxygen- scavenging system, while high concentration Se (> 16 mg x kg(-1)) was in adverse. Soil Se concentration had a significant correlation with root biomass, shoot biomass, chlorophyll a/b, MDA, SOD, CAT, POD.

[Cycling and balance of copper in farmland ecosystem of Jianghan plain in Hubei Province].

The cycling and balance of copper in 8 cropping systems, i.e., wheat-rice, rice-rice, rape-soybean, rape-peanut, wheat-sesame, wheat-cotton, pepper-cabbage and radish-eggplant in Jianghan plain of Hubei Province were studied.
