[Pilose antler polypeptide CNT14 promoted proliferation and migration of human oral mucosa fibroblast cells].

Purpose: To explore the effect of pilose antler polypeptides CNT14 on proliferation and migration of human oral mucosa fibroblast (hOMF) cells and the related molecular mechanism.

Methods: The biosafety of pilose antler polypeptides CNT14 on hOMF cells was verified by live-dead cell staining kit.CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effect of pilose antler polypeptides CNT14 on hOMF cell proliferation.

Comprehensive Analysis of Prognostic Value and Immune Infiltration of MMP12 in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a typical neoplastic disease and a frequent cause of death in China. The prognosis of most ESCC patients is still poor. Previous studies demonstrated that MMP12 is involved in tumor metastasis.

Enhanced photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency and increased nitrogen allocation to photosynthetic machinery under cotton domestication.

Domestication involves dramatic phenotypic and physiological diversifications due to successive selection by breeders toward high yield and quality. Although photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE) is a major trait for understanding leaf nitrogen economy, it is unclear whether PNUE of cotton has been improved under domestication. Here, we investigated the effect of domestication on nitrogen allocation to photosynthetic machinery and PNUE in 25 wild and 37 domesticated cotton genotypes.

[Clinical observation of assisted occlusion therapy for repositioning temporomandibular joint discs].

Purpose: To investigate the occurrence of postoperative malocclusion of patients with temporomandibular joint disc repositioning and the necessity of postoperative orthodontic treatment.

Methods: One hundred and eight patients who received temporomandibular joint disc repositioning from 2010.10 to 2015.

[Applications of minimally invasive bone splitting technique in cases with missing maxillary anterior teeth and obvious labial alveolar bone depression for dental implantation].

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to introduce a minimally invasive bone splitting technique which is suitable for cases with missing anterior teeth and obvious depression of alveolar bone in labial side, and to evaluate its clinical results.

Methods: Minimally invasive bone splitting technique was used in 8 healthy adults with bone defects in the aesthetic zone. The labial alveolar bone incisions were confined around the bone defects which were smaller than traditional incisions.

Three molybdophosphates based on Strandberg-type anions and Zn(II)-H2biim/H(2)O subunits: syntheses, structures and catalytic properties.

Three new inorganic-organic hybrid compounds based on Strandberg-type anions and Zn(ii)-H2biim/H2O subunits, namely {H4(H2biim)3}[Zn(H2biim)(H3biim)(H2O)(HP2Mo5O23)]2·3H2O (1), {H9(H2biim)7}[(μ-biim){(Zn(H2O)2)0.5(HP2Mo5O23)}2]·7H2O (2) and {H7(H2biim)7}[Zn(H2biim)(H2O)2(HP2Mo5O23)][H2P2Mo5O23]·8H2O (3) (H2biim = 2,2'-biimidazole), have been synthesized in aqueous solutions and characterized. They were also used as efficient and reusable catalysts for the protection of carbonyl compounds.

Effects of ion mobility and positron fraction on solitary waves in weak relativistic electron-positron-ion plasma.

The effects of ion mobility and positron fraction on the solitary waves of the laser field envelope and the potential of the electrostatic field in weak relativistic electron-positron-ion plasma are investigated. The parameter region for the existence of solitary waves is obtained analytically, and a reasonable choice of parameters is clarified. Both cases of mobile and immobile ions are considered.

[Effects of drip irrigation under mulching on cotton root and shoot biomass and yield].

By using bidirectional sampling method with soil drill, the effects of different amounts of drip irrigation (2618, 2947, 3600 and 4265 m3 x hm(-2)) under mulching on the root distribution, aboveground growth, and yield of cotton was studied in field. The results indicated that irrigation amount affected the root and shoot growth significantly. In all irrigation treatments, cotton root was mainly distributed in mulched area, occupying 60.
