[Effect of Rhubarb Combined Medicinal Activated Carbon on Levels of Serum Phosphorus, Calci- um-Phosphorus Product, and Parathyroid Hormone in Hemodialysis Patients with Hyperphosphatemia].

Objective To study the effect of rhubarb combined medicinal activated carbon on levels of serum phosphorus and calcium-phosphorus product, as well as parathyroid hormone in hemodi- alysis patients with hyperphosphatemia. Methods Totally 126 hemodialysis patients with hyperphos- phatemia who had received treatment of calcium containing phosphorus binders were assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 63 in each group. Patients in the treatment group took rhubarb (80 mg/kg, twice per day, soaked in 150 mL boiled water, taken before dinner) combined with medicinal activated carbon (1.

Three cotton homeobox genes are preferentially expressed during early seedling development and in response to phytohormone signaling.

Homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) proteins are transcription factors unique to plants. In this study, three cDNAs (designated as GhHB2, GhHB3 and GhHB4) encoding HD-Zip proteins were isolated from cotton cDNA library. GhHB2 gene encodes a protein of 300 amino acids, GhHB3 gene encodes a peptide with 254 amino acids, and GhHB4 gene encodes a protein of 281 amino acids.
