Apoptosis, proliferation, and morphology during vein graft remodeling in rabbits

Authors: L. Wan, S.H. Dai, S.Q. Lai, L.Q. Liu, Q. Wang, H. Xu, W.J. Wang and J.C. Liu

Neo-intima development and atherosclerosis limit the long-term use of vein grafts for revascularization of ischemic tissues. Recently, studies have confirmed that proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) plays an important role in cell proliferation. Our research confirmed that 28 days after vein transplantation, PCNA express.. Read More»

Breeding new seedless grape by means of in vitro embryo rescue

Authors: W. Ji, Z.-Q. Li, Q. Zhou, W.-K. Yao and Y.-J. Wang

This project aimed at breeding new seedless grape cultivars by embryo rescue through three hybridization methods: 1) using cross-breeding between seedless Vitis vinifera cultivars and wild Chinese Vitis spp; 2) crossing with two seedless cultivars, and 3) hybridization between grapes of different ploidy. Genotype, sampling times, and media were confirmed .. Read More»

eNOS gene Glu298Asp and 4b/a polymorphisms are associated with renal function parameters in Mexican patients with Fabry disease

Authors: A. Marin-Medina, A.J.L. Brambila-Tapia, V.J. Picos-C�¡rdenas, M.P. Gallegos-Arreola and L.E. Figuera

Fabry disease (FD) is an inherited X-linked lysosomal disease that causes renal failure in a high percentage of affected individuals. The eNOS gene encodes for endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which plays an important role in glomerular hemodynamics. This gene has two main polymorphisms (Glu298Asp and 4b/a) that have been st..

Effects of ginsenoside Rg1 on glucose metabolism and liver injury in streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats

Authors: W. Tian, L. Chen, L. Zhang, B. Wang, X.B. Li, K.R. Fan, C.H. Ai, X. Xia, S.D. Li, Y. Li

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2-DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels. T2-DM patients suffer from many complications, such as diabetic fatty liver and diabetic nephropathy. The liver, the pivotal organ involved in both glucose and lipid metabolism, is primarily damaged in T2-DM patients, e.. Read More»

Cytotoxic, mutagenic and antimutagenic screening of Arenosclera brasiliensis acetone and ethanol extracts

Authors: L. Stankevicins, C.A.F. Aiub, J.L. Mazzei, G. Lobo-Hajduand I. Felzenszwalb

The marine environment is a rich source of biologically active compounds with pharmacological properties. Marine organisms often produce secondary metabolites with structural features different from those produced by terrestrial ones, and the Phylum Porifera seems to be one of the most productive in this sense. This study was .. Read More»

Association of eNOS gene polymorphisms with essential hypertension in the Han population in southwestern China

Authors: J. Li, Y. Cun, W.R. Tang, Y. Wang, S.N. Li, H.R. Ouyang, Y.R. Wu, H.J. Yu and C.J. Xiao

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays an important role in maintaining blood pressure homeostasis and vascular integrity. Polymorphisms in the eNOS gene have been found to be associated with hypertension in different human populations, including Northern and Southern Chinese Han populations. To examine the relationshi..

Effects of ginsenoside Rg1 on the senescence of vascular smooth muscle cells

Authors: S.G. Li, M.Z. Yan, D. Zhang, M. Ye and J.J. Deng

The development of age-related cardiovascular disease is associated with the senescence of vascular cells. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence. Primary VSMCs were cultured and divided into control, D-galactose (D-gal), Rg1-L, and Rg1-H groups, which wer.. Read More»
