Effects of Varroa destructor on temperature and humidity conditions and expression of energy metabolism genes in infested honeybee colonies
Authors: C.S. Hou, B.B. Li, S. Deng and Q.Y. Diao
Varroa destructor mites pose an increasing global threat to the apicultural industry and agricultural ecology; however, the issue of whether certain environmental factors reflect the level of mite infection is far from resolved. Here, a wireless sensor network (WSN) system was used to examine how V. destructor, which has vital impacts on honeybee (Apis me.. Read More»

N-nitrosodiethylamine genotoxicity evaluation: a cytochrome P450 induction study in rat hepatocytes
Authors: C.A.F. Aiub, G. Gadermaier, I.O. Silva, I. Felzenszwalb, L.F.R. Pinto, F. Ferreira and P. Eckl
In rats, N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) induces tumors mainly in the liver. This could be because various enzymes are responsible for the metabolic activation of NDEA, besides the hepatic NDEA metabolizing enzyme, CYP2E1. We examined NDEA genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in primary cultures of female rat hepatocytes; we also looked.. Read More»

Authors: X.F. Qi, T.J. Feng, P. Yang, H.Y. Feng, P. Zhang, L.Y. Kong, D.L. Liang, P.F. Li, W. Na, Y.W. Li and Y. Wang
We aimed to investigate the association of inflammation-related genes such as IL-10, IL-6 and IL-1B with risk of ischemic stroke. We included 426 cases with ischemic stroke and 426 health controls from Xinxiang, China. Genomic DNA was extracted from the buffy coat layer of collected blood with the TIANamp blood DNA kit. Diabet.. Read More»

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of oleanolic mono- or di-glycosides against Magnaporthe oryzae
Authors: G. Huo, C. Liu, Y. Hui, X. Chen and D. Xiao
Saponins are naturally-occurring units with broad diversity and are usually recognized as phytoanticipins. In order to develop new saponin chemical entities with high activity against Magnaporthe oryzae, we selected oleanolic acid (OA), which has wide natural distribution and rich content in plants. We used the ability of OA to act as an aglycone for glyc.. Read More»

Application of ultrasound technology in the study of ischemic postconditioning to protect testes from ischemia-reperfusion injury
Authors: E.S. Xue, Q.Q. Chen, Y. Wang, Y. Zhang, S. Chen and R.X. Liang
This study was designed to investigate the application of ultrasound technology in the study of ischemic postconditioning to protect testes from ischemia-reperfusion injury. Seventy-two big white rabbits were divided into mild ischemic groups (Group A: A0, A1, A2, A3), moderate ischemic groups (Group B: B0, B1, B2, B3) under u.. Read More»

Aquaporin 4 inhibition decreased synthesis of cytokines by acetazolamide in the hippocampus of rats with pentrazol-induced chronic epilepsy
Authors: H. Yu, G.L. Qi, J. Wang, L. Chen, Z. Deng, Y.S. Zhao, S.S. Lei and X.Q. Zhu
Epilepsy refers to a clinical syndrome generated by spontaneous seizures in the central nervous system. Epilepsy triggers a complex pathological process including inflammatory response and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) increase. It has been reported that AQP4 helps to enhance the immunological function of the central nervous system in pathological conditions, but th.. Read More»

A new reduced height gene found in the tetraploid semi-dwarf wheat landrace Aiganfanmai
Authors: Z.S. Peng, X. Li, Z.J. Yang and M.L. Liao
Aiganfanmai is a dwarf tetraploid wheat landrace (Triticum turgidum var. turgidum) that stably produces the semi-dwarf trait. Plant height varies from 80-105 cm under cultivation. Compared with tall durum wheat (T. turgidum var. durum) variety Langdon, we found it to have short spikes and seeds, besides a semi-dwarf character... Read More»

Prediction of protein subcellular multisite localization using a new feature extraction method
Authors: L.Y. Wang, D. Wang and Y.H. Chen
A basic problem of proteomics is identifying the subcellular locations of a protein. One factor making the problem more complicated is that some proteins may simultaneously exist in two or more than two subcellular locations. To improve multisite prediction quality, it is necessary to use effective feature extraction methods. Here, we developed a new feat.. Read More»
