The Influence of Host Aphids on the Performance of .

The aphid parasitoid Walker is an important biological control agent against many aphid species. In this study, we examined whether the rearing host aphid species (the pea aphid, and the grain aphid, ) affect the performance of . We found that -reared showed a significantly larger body size (body length and hind tibia length) and shorter developmental time than -reared .

Genome-Wide Identification of Neuropeptides and Their Receptors in an Aphid Endoparasitoid Wasp, .

In insects, neuropeptides and their receptors not only play a critical role in insect physiology and behavior but also are the potential targets for novel pesticide discoveries. is one of the most important and widespread aphid parasitoids, and has been successfully used to control aphid. In the present work, we systematically identified neuropeptides and their receptors from the genome and head transcriptome of .

The status and model of children primary nephrotic syndrome in continuing nursing.

Background: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common glomerular disease in children. Nursing during hospitalization alone cannot solve the psychological, physiological and social health problems of children. Continuing care models may provide patients with more continuous and efficient care services.

MiR-29c reduces the cisplatin resistance of non-small cell lung cancer cells by negatively regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway.

In previous studies, miR-29s showed tumor suppressor properties against lung cancer, which improved the survival of patients upon the administration of chemotherapy via an unknown mechanism. Here, we investigated the regulatory effects of miR-29s on the cisplatin resistance of NSCLC cells. The expression of miR-29s was assessed in 130 clinical patients and in cisplatin-treated NSCLS cell lines.
