ABSTRACT
Amygdalus pedunculata Pall. is one of the 12 important woody oil crops in China. In this study, we determined the complete chloroplast genome sequence of A. pedunculata Pall. (MG602257) from Mu Us desert in Yulin city, Shaanxi province, China. The plastome was 157 851 bp with 36.8% GC content. Comparisons among the plastomes of MG602257 and other two MG869261 and KY101153 from Genebank of NCBI showed that the total length of these chloroplast genomes was MG602257< MG869261Subject(s)

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between thrombelastogram (TEG)parameters and plasma D-dimer (D-D) and platelet aggregation rate (PAgT)in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods From January 2015 to Jan-uary 2016,120 patients with ACI (ACI group),and 60 healthy subjects (healthy group)were enrolled in the study.The TEG parameters were detected by thromboelastography,including blood coagulation time (R),blood clotting time (K),rate of blood clotting (αangle),coagulation comprehensive index (CI)and the maximum intensity of blood clotting (MA).Blood coagulation indexes also were detected,including prothrombin time (PT),fibrinogen (FIB,detected by automatic coagulation analyzer),plasma D-D (detected by colloidal gold method)and PAgT (detected by blood aggregation tester).Results R (5.36±0.95 min),K (2.34±0.98 min)and PT (11.88±1.67 s)in the ACI group were shorter than those in the healthy group (6.20±1.28 min,2.87±0.87 min,12.40±1.82 s),(t=4.962,3.547,1.911,all P<0.05).Theαangle (61.65± 7.84)degrees,CI (-0.21±1.11),MA (58.94±6.14 mm),D-D (0.34±0.08 mg/L),PAgT (66.9±6.8)% and FIB (4.41±0.96 g/L)in the ACI group were higher than those in the healthy group [(56.02 ± 6.94)degrees,(-1.50 ± 1.30),(53.86±7.85 mm),(0.24±0.06 mg/L),(55.4±7)%,(2.87±0.88 g/L)],(t=4.714,6.209,5.583,8.550, 10.592,7.039,all P<0.05).In ACI group,D-D,PAgt and the TEG parameters (αangle,CI,MA)were significantly nega-tively correlated (r=-0.481,-0.470,-0.504,-0.488,all P<0.05).D-D,PAgt and the TEG parameters (αangle,CI, MA)were significantly positively correlated (r=0.338,0.395,0.427,0.391,0.436,-0.482,all P<0.05).Conclusion TEG parameters can reflect the severity of ACI to some extent,and they were significantly correlated with plasma D-D and PAgt.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of the p38 MAPK pathway in the formation of cytoplasmic vacuoles .Methods Af-ter treated with Anisomycin ,SB203580 or SP600125 ,images of HepG2 ,LM3 ,QBC939 ,Hela and A549 cells were recorded by light microscopy and taken at a magnification of 400 × .The effects of anisomycin ,SB203580 and SP600125 on the activity of p38 and JNK were measured by Western blot .LM3 and A549 cells were stained with the ER-tracker red and the lyso-tracker red and subjec-ted to confocal microscopy analysis .Results (1)Anisomycin could abolish cytoplasmic vacuolization of HepG2 cells .(2)p38 MAPK activation was responsible for anisomycin-induced cytoplasmic vacuolization abolishment .(3)p38 MAPK blocking initiated cytoplas-mic vacuoles formation in various cancer cell lines .(4)p38 MAPK blocking-induced cytoplasmic vacuoles disrupted the integrity of endoplasmic reticulum .(5)p38 MAPK blocking reversibly induced cytoplasmic vacuoles formation .Conclusion These observations provide direct evidence for a role of p38 MAPK signaling in regulating the formation of cytoplasmic vacuoles .
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of 1,25-droxyvitamin D3 on nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)in patients with spinal tuberculosis and to explore its immunoregulation function.METHODS:Patients' PBMC were assigned to test group in which DHVD3 was added or control group in which culture medium was added,then cultured after BCG vaccine inoculation.Cultured supernatant fluid from isolated PBMC was collected at 0,3,6,9,12 days respectively for measuring of relative optical density(OD)of NO by nitric oxide kit.Total RNA extracted from the PBMC was reverse transcribed to cDNA and amplificated by fluorecent real-time quantitative PCR on the sixth day;mRNA of target gene iNOS and reference gene 3-GAPD were analyzed and compared by relative quantitative method 2-??Ct.RESULTS:OD value of NO and mRNA of iNOS in test group were all higher than in control group(P
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for analysis of proteome of human peripheral leukocytes and to explore the difference between the healthy volunteers and patients with acute lymphocyte leukemia(ALL) in leukocyte proteomics and to study the ALL-related abnormal proteins.METHODS: Peripheral blood samples taken from 10 healthy volunteers and 10 ALL patients were separated for the extraction of leukocyte proteins.The leukocyte proteins were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE).2-DE patterns were analyzed by PDQuest 2D software and the differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometer(MALDITOF-MS) and bioinformatics.RESULTS: The 2-DE patterns of peripheral blood leucocytes from patients with ALL versus those from healthy volunteers were analyzed by PDQuest 2D software and the differentially expressed proteins identified by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometer(MALDI-TOF-MS) were confirmed to beALL-related proteins: AnnexinA5 and cytoskeleton 14 etc.CONCLUSION: Using MALDI-TOF-MS and bioinformatics,the AnnexinA5 and cytoskeleton 14 proteins had been proved to be of close relationship with ALL.The results provided a satisfactory basis for the searching for treatment targets and the molecular targets for the early diagnosis of ALL.
