Stage-Specific Transcriptomes of the Mussel Reveals the Developmental Program for the Planktonic to Benthic Transition.

Many marine invertebrate larvae undergo complex morphological and physiological changes during the planktonic-benthic transition (a.k.a.

[Influence of maternal and infant factors on CD34 hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in umbilical cord blood].

Objective: To study the association of different maternal and infant factors with the number of total nucleated cells and CD34 hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in umbilical cord blood, and to provide a reference for reasonable selection of umbilical cord blood in the cord blood bank.

Methods: A prospective study was performed for the umbilical cord blood samples of 130 neonates who were born in Dalian Women and Children's Medical Center from June 2019 to January 2020, with a male/female ratio of 1:1. Related perinatal information was collected, including maternal age and blood type, presence or absence of gestational diabetes or gestational hypertension, pregnancy method, mode of delivery, singleton pregnancy/twin pregnancy, body weight and sex of neonates, Apgar score after birth, and the conditions of placenta, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord.

[Risk factors for capillary leak syndrome in children with hematological malignancies].

Objective: To investigate the risk factors for capillary leak syndrome (CLS) in children with malignant hematologic diseases.

Methods: Thirty children with hematological malignancies complicated with CLS were analyzed with multiple logistic regression analysis.

Results: At the test level of 0.

N-acetylcysteine improves pancreatic microcirculation and alleviates the severity of acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

Background/aims: To investigate the beneficial effect of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) on pancreatic microvascular perfusion in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP).

Methods: Fifty-four rats were divided into a control group, an ANP group and an NAC-treated group. The ANP model was established by a retrograde injection of 3% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct.

Overexpression of CD151 predicts prognosis in patients with resected gastric cancer.

Purpose: The tetraspanin CD151 acts as a promoter of metastasis and invasion in several tumors. However, the role of CD151 in human gastric cancer (HGC) remains unclear.

Methods: Twenty HGC specimens and matched nontumor samples, human gastric epithelial cells (HGEC), and four gastric cancer cell lines were used to analyze CD151 expression.

[DNA damage response in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma].

Objective: To study the relationship between ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma and DNA damage.

Methods: 14 samples were selected from clinical ovarian cases including 3 cases with normal ovarian tissue, 6 cases with poorly differentiated ovarian tumor, 5 cases with ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma, treated by X-ray irradiation and frozen sections respectively. DNA damage response was analyzed by immunofluorescence and Western blot.
