Molecular Characterization of Peroxidase () Gene Family in Cucumber.

: The Peroxidase () gene family is essential for plant growth and significantly contributes to defense against stresses. However, information about genes in cucumber ( L.) remains limited.

Phytochemicals targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) for the prevention and treatment of HNSCC: A review.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) develops from the mucosal epithelium of the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx, and is the most common malignancy of the head and neck, the incidence of which continues to rise. The epidermal growth factor receptor is thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of HNSCC. Inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor has been identified as an effective target for the treatment of HNSCC.

Genome-wide characterization and expression of genes in reveal their potential roles under development and abiotic stress.

gene family plays a key role in regulating plant development and responding to stress. Currently, many family members have been identified in plants, however, information on genes in pumpkin () is scarce. In this study, physical and chemical properties, gene structure -regulatory elements and expression of genes were examined in pumpkin.

Identification and Characterization of Csa-miR395s Reveal Their Involvements in Fruit Expansion and Abiotic Stresses in Cucumber.

The miR395 plays an indispensable role in biochemical processes by regulating their target genes. However, little is known about the roles of miR395 in cucumber fruit expansion and response to abiotic stresses. Here, 4 Csa-miR395s and 8 corresponding target genes were identified in the cucumber genome.

Effect of Tirofiban on new cerebral microbleeds after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of tirofiban on new cerebral microhemorrhage after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: In total, 203 patients with acute ischemic stroke treated by mechanical thrombectomy in our department of neurology were enrolled as the research objects. The patients were divided into two groups: the patients who used tirofiban within 24 h after surgery were assigned to the study group (78 subjects), while patients who did not use tirofiban were assigned to the conventional group (125 subjects).

Identification and Expression Analysis of miR160 and Their Target Genes in Cucumber.

miR160 plays a crucial role in various biological processes by regulating their target gene auxin response factor (ARF) in plants. However, little is known about miR160 and ARF in cucumber fruit expansion. Here, 4 Csa-MIR160 family members and 17 CsARFs were identified through a genome-wide search.

Identification of miRNAs and Their Target Genes Involved in Cucumber Fruit Expansion Using Small RNA and Degradome Sequencing.

Fruit expansion is an essential and very complex biological process. Regulatory roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) and miRNA-mRNA modules in the cucumber fruit expansion are not yet to be investigated. In this work, 1253 known and 1269 novel miRNAs were identified from nine cucumber fruit small RNA (sRNA) libraries through high-throughput sequencing.

Management of symptomatic sacral perineural cysts.

Background: There has been no consensus on the optimal treatment of symptomatic sacral perineural cysts. Most previous reports concerning the management methods were either sporadic case reports or a series of limited cases. This study is to further optimize the management for patients with symptomatic sacral perineural cysts by analyzing the outcomes of a cohort of patients who were treated with different strategies.

[Study on lead absorption in pumpkin by atomic absorption spectrophotometry].

A study was carried out on the characteristic of lead absorption in pumpkin via atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed that lead absorption amount in pumpkin increased with time, but the absorption rate decreased with time; And the lead absorption amount reached the peak in pH 7. Lead and cadmium have similar characteristic of absorption in pumpkin.

[Cloning and expression of cucumber CsEXP10 gene].

Basing on the fragment (CO434610) cloned from cDNA amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP), a 1191-bp cDNA sequence of CsEXP10 with a complete 3' end was obtained via rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and getting spliced with an EST (AF319471) of the same gene (Fig.2). Southern blotting analysis showed that CsEXP10 was a single copy gene in cucumber (Fig.

Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of Qingqiao capsule in treating patients with secretory otitis media.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Qingqiao Capsule (QQC) in treating patients with secretory otitis media (SOM).

Methods: A total of 90 patients were randomly assigned into the treated group (n = 45) and the control group (n = 45). Patients in the treated group were administrated with QQC, 5 capsules each time, 3 times a day for totally 10-14 days, and those in the control group were given per os cefaclor capsules 0.

[Identification of expanding-related genes from young fruit of cucumber after pollination].

Differential expression of genes in young fruit of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) before/after pollination was investigated via cDNA amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP). There were 64 transcript-derived fragments (TDFs) displayed specially in young fruits after pollination of 6-72 h (Table 1), five of which were verified to be mainly expressed in young fruits by reverse Northern dot blotting (Fig.
