Protein degradation, a major eukaryotic response to cellular signals, is subject to numerous layers of regulation. In yeast, the evolutionarily conserved GID E3 ligase mediates glucose-induced degradation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (Fbp1), malate dehydrogenase (Mdh2), and other gluconeogenic enzymes. "GID" is a collection of E3 ligase complexes; a core scaffold, RING-type catalytic core, and a supramolecular assembly module together with interchangeable substrate receptors select targets for ubiquitylation.

Primary gastric cancer (PGC) is the fourth most common malignant human cancer and the second leading cause of death worldwide. The majority of the subjects of PGC is diagnosed at a late stage, resulting in poor prognosis and therapeutic outcome, largely attributable to dissemination of tumor cells into circulation as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and their formation of distal tumor. Curcumin is an active ingredient from the rhizome of the plant Curcuma longa.

Background: Vascular calcification (VC) is a very common phenomenon in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It has been reported that some histone methylation play a role in VC as an epigenetic regulator. Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is a protein-bound uremic toxin that has been proven as one of the major risk factors of cardiovascular disease in CKD.

Background: To compare results of tricuspid valve (TV) reoperation between incision via a right anterolateral minithoracotomy (RAMT) and median sternotomy (MS).
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 49 patients who underwent isolated TV surgery as a reoperation at our institution between 2006 and 2015. Previous cardiac operations included mitral, aortic, and TV surgeries, atrial septal defect repair, and pericardiectomy.

Herein we report superior dye-adsorption performance for flower-like nanostructure composed of two dimensional (2D) MoS nanosheets by a facile hydrothermal method, more prominent adsorption of cationic dye compared with anodic dye indicates the dye adsorption performance strongly depends on surface charge of MoS nanosheets. The adsorption mechanism of dye is analyzed, the kinetic data of dye adsorption fit well with the pseudo-second-order model, meanwhile adsorption capability at different equilibrium concentrations follows Langmuir model, indicating the favorability and feasibility of dye adsorption. The regenerable property for MoS with full adsorption of dye molecules by using alkaline solution were demonstrated, showing the feasibility of reuse for the MoS, which is promising in its practical water treatment application.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of overlapping suture-anchor fixation for treatment of chronic deltoid ligament injury.
Methods: Seventeen patients (11 men, 6 women of mean age 32.1 years [range, 18-58 years]) who had undergone surgery for chronic deltoid ligament injury from January 2007 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.

Purpose: Fibular tip ossicle separation can cause ligament injury leading to chronic lateral ankle instability. A cadaveric study was conducted to preliminarily assess the effects of fibular tip separated ossicle location and size on lateral ankle ligament complex integrity.
Methods: X-ray examinations and dissection of the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments were conducted in ten radiographically confirmed normal below-knee cadaveric specimens extracted from donated fresh cadavers.

Hallux valgus is a common disorder of the forefoot that results from medial deviation of the first metatarsal and lateral deviation and/or rotation of the great. The management of hallux valgus is usually focused on the malalignment of the first ray, however, some patients report that pain at the plantar aspect of second and/or third metatarsal head(s) is more severe than the first metatarsophalangeal joint. In order to alleviate the metatarsalgia, we developed an oblique sliding osteotomy to manage the second metatarsal.

Pax4, a paired-box transcription factor, is a key regulator of pancreatic islet cell growth and differentiation. Here, we report for the first time that the Pax4 protein can permeate into various cell types including pancreatic islets. The paired domain of Pax4 serves as a novel protein transduction domain (PTD).

In several experimental studies of cerebral ischaemia, G-CSF (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) exerted neuroprotective effects through different mechanisms, including mobilization of haemopoietic stem cells, anti-apoptosis, neuronal differentiation, angiogenesis and anti-inflammation. Hence, G-CSF not only inhibits neuron death, but also generates 'new' neural tissue formation. A small pilot trial reports on the safety and feasibility of G-CSF therapy in stroke patients.

Protein transduction domains (PTDs), such as HIV TAT PTD, have been widely used as delivery tools into living cells. Here we reported for the first time that the helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family was a novel type of PTD. Efficient internalization has been obtained with HLH domains derived from bHLH proteins, NeuroD/BETA2, Neurogenin3, and Mitf, in various cell types including stable cell lines and primary cells.

The separation and characterization of fluorescein-labeled polyethylene glycols (PEG) is described. Firstly, the polyethylene glycols labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) were synthesized and separated using Sephadextrade mark LH-20 medium by a step gradient. Secondly, a TSK GEL G4000 PW XL column was developed for determining the FITC derivatives of PEG.

There is increasing evidence that neuronal cell death induced by seizures occurs via extrinsic (death receptors) and intrinsic (mitochondria) pathways. Caspase-8 cleaves Bid, which releases cytochrome c, bridging the "extrinsic" and "intrinsic" pathways. Cleavage of Bid may amplify caspase-8-induced neuronal cell death following seizures.

(99m)Technetium-labeled diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-polyethylene glycol-folate (DTPA-PEG-folate) was synthesized and tested as a radiopharmaceutical agent, which targeted the lymphatic system with metastatic tumor. Folic acid was reacted with H2N-PEG-NH2 to yield H2N-PEG-folate. After purification by anion-exchange chromatography, the product was reacted with cyclic DTPA.

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a common and devastating pneumonia. We developed a novel antiinfective vaccine that couples the potent Ag-presenting capacity of dendritic cells (DCs) with paracrine delivery of interleukin-12 (IL-12) to local immune response sites. Our results showed that DCs engulfed Aspergillus conidia through coiling phagocytosis.

The chromatographic analysis of polyethylene glycols (PEG) and their amino-substituted derivatives, with an average molecular mass of 2000 and 3350 is described. The PEG derivatives were perfectly separated by TSK-GEL G4000PW(XL) column, which was widely used in high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), at low ionic strength with refractive index detection. It was shown that ion-exchange interactions were mainly involved in the retention mechanism of these compounds on TSK-GEL G4000PW(XL) column, since retention volume decreased when salt concentration were added to the mobile phase and varied with the pH of the eluent.
