Effects of the elongated needling combined with routine acupuncture therapy in the patients with post-stroke hemiplegia and central pain： a randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of the elongated needling at the points of hand and foot meridians and the Governor Vessel combined with the routine acupuncture therapy on pain, balance function and muscle strength of the patients with post-stroke hemiplegia and central post-stroke pain (CPSP), and to investigate whether its therapeutic mechanism is related to antioxidant damage.

Methods: Ninety-four patients with post-stroke hemiplegia and CPSP admitted from March 2020 to September 2021 were divided into a trial group (47 cases, 1 cases dropped out) and a control group (47 cases 3 cases dropped out). In the control group, the rehabilitation exercise combined with routine acupuncture therapy was used, and in the trial group, on the base of the treatment as the control group, the elongated needling at the points of hand and foot meridians and the Governor Vessel was supplemented.

Unrecognized diversity, genetic structuring, and phylogeography of the genus (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae) sheds light on two opposite colonization routes during Quaternary glaciation that occurred in the Qilian Mountains.

In recent years, the influence of historical geological and climatic events on the evolution of flora and fauna in the Tibetan Plateau has been a hot research topic. The Qilian Mountain region is one of the most important sources of biodiversity on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Many species existed in the region during the Pleistocene glacial oscillation, and the complex geographical environment provided suitable conditions for the survival of local species.

DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity in the underestimated genus Triplophysa (Cypriniformes: Cobitidae, Nemacheilinae) from the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Background: The northeastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) presents a high number of plateau loach species. As one of the three major groups of fishes distributed on the QTP, plateau loach has high ecological value. However, the taxonomy and systematics of these fish are still controversial, and a large number of new species have been reported.

Asymptotic behavior of a stochastic delayed avian influenza model with saturated incidence rate.

In this paper, we establish a stochastic delayed avian influenza model with saturated incidence rate. Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the global positive solution with any positive initial value. Then, we study the asymptotic behaviors of the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium by constructing some suitable Lyapunov functions and applying the Young's inequality and Hölder's inequality.

[Soil organic carbon dynamics and the prediction of their spatial changes in response to anthropogenically introduced shrub encroachment in desert steppe of the Eastern Ningxia, China.].

With the 14-year enclosed grassland and the grazed grassland as control, the impacts of anthropogenic shrublands (Caragana korshinskii) with the different planting years (3, 12, 22 a) and planting spaces (2, 8, 40 m) on soil organic carbon (SOC) contents were examined in the desert steppe of Eastern Ningxia, China. We further analyzed the spatial pattern and heterogeneity of SOC in 0-40 cm soil layer of the grassland area with introduced shrubs. The results showed that SOC in C.

Honokiol Protects against Anti-1-Adrenergic Receptor Autoantibody-Induced Myocardial Dysfunction via Activation of Autophagy.

Myocardial diseases are prevalent syndromes with high mortality rate. The exploration of effective interference is important. Anti-1-adrenergic receptor autoantibody (1-AAB) is highly correlated with myocardial dysfunction.

[Clinical features and outcomes of neuroblastoma patients aged above 5 years].

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and outcomes of neuroblastoma (NB) children aged above 5 years, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving prognosis.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 54 previously untreated NB children, and their clinical features and outcome were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.

The tumor-suppressive function of miR-1 by targeting LASP1 and TAGLN2 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: This study determined the expression of microRNA-1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissue and cell lines to evaluate its effects on clinicopathological parameters and its target genes LASP1 and TAGLN2.

Methods: The expression of miR-1, lasp1, and tagln2 was detected in 55 ESCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The association between miR-1, lasp1, and tagln2 expression and clinicopathological characteristics was observed.

Efficient detection of secondary structure folded nucleic acids related to Alzheimer's disease based on junction probes.

Single stranded DNA often forms stable secondary structures under physiological conditions. These DNA secondary structures play important physiological roles. However, the analysis of such secondary structure folded DNA is often complicated because of its high thermodynamic stability and slow hybridization kinetics.

[Periplocin extracted from cortex periplocae induces apoptosis of SW480 cells through inhibiting the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway].

Background And Objective: The Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in the development and progression of human cancers, especially in colorectal carcinomas. This study was to analyze the inhibition effect of periplocin extracted from cortex periplocae (CPP) on proliferation of human colon carcinoma cell line SW480 and the underlying mechanism.

Comprehensive functional analysis of the catalase gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana.

In Arabidopsis, catalase (CAT) genes encode a small family of proteins including CAT1, CAT2 and CAT3, which catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and play an important role in controlling homeostasis of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, we analyze the expression profiles and activities of three catalases under different treatments including drought, cold, oxidative stresses, abscisic acid and salicylic acid in Arabidopsis. Our results reveal that CAT1 is an important player in the removal of H2O2 generated under various environmental stresses.
