ABSTRACT

Leaf color mutants are common in higher plants that can be used as markers in crop breeding and are important tools in understanding regulatory mechanisms of chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development. Genetic analysis was performed by evaluating F1, F2 and BC1 populations derived from two parental lines (Charleston gray with green leaf color and Houlv with delayed green leaf color), suggesting that a single recessive gene controls the delayed green leaf color. In this study, the delayed green mutant showed a conditional pale green leaf color at the early leaf development but turned to green as the leaf development progressed. Delayed green leaf plants showed reduced pigment content, photosynthetic, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and impaired chloroplast development compared with green leaf plants. The delayed green (dg) locus was mapped to 7.48 Mb on chromosome 3 through bulk segregant analysis approach, and the gene controlling delayed green leaf color was narrowed to 53.54 kb between SNP130 and SNP135 markers containing three candidate genes. Sequence alignment of the three genes indicated that there was a single SNP mutation (G/A) in the coding region of ClCG03G010030 in the Houlv parent, which causes an amino acid change from Arginine to Lysine. The ClCG03G010030 gene encoded FtsH extracellular protease protein family is involved in early delayed green leaf development. The expression level of ClCG03G010030 was significantly reduced in delayed green leaf plants than in green leaf plants. These results indicated that the ClCG03G010030 might control watermelon green leaf color and the single SNP variation in ClCG03G010030 may result in early delayed green leaf color development during evolutionary process.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of cognitive types on dual-task paradigm gait performance in patients with stroke.Method:Using a cross-sectional study design, patients with stroke were trained with single task walking and dual-task walking with four different cognitive tasks (spontaneous speech [SS], serial counting backward [SCB], word list generation (WLG), and auditory Stroop [AS]). A three-dimensional gait and motion analysis system were used to record and analyze gait data, and calculate dual-task effect (DTE) for different cognitive tasks, and compare the differences in spatiotemporal parameters and DTE of gait analysis under different states.Results:A total of 35 patients with stroke (aged 61.0±2.5 years) were included, among which 27 were males (77.1%). There were 25 patients with ischemic stroke (71.4%) and 10 patients with hemorrhagic stroke (28.6%). Compared with single task walking, patients had decreased gait speed, shorter step length on the affected side, and a larger support phase ratio of the unaffected to the affected side during SCB dual task and SS dual task (all P<0.05), and the difference was more obvious during SCB dual task ( P<0.05). Compared with single task walking, patients had a reduced swing phase ratio of the unaffected to the affected side during SCB dual task (all P<0.05). The DTEs of gait speed, step length of the affected side, and the support phase ratio of the unaffected to the affected side during SCB dual task and SS dual task were significantly greater than those during WLG dual task and AS dual task ( P<0.05). The DTEs of gait speed and step length of the affected side during SCB dual task were significantly greater than that during SS dual task (all P<0.05). The DTE of the swing phase ratio of the unaffected to the affected side during SCB dual task was significantly greater than that during other types of cognitive tasks (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Different cognitive tasks had different effects on gait performance during dual-task walking in patients with stroke, and the degree of dual-task interference was associated with specific task types.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveConstruction and identification of wild-type and mutant human o-synuclein (SNCA) gene lentiviral expression vector, and its stable transfection into the rat pheochromocytoma cells.MethodsThe genes were synthesized with particular primer, amplified by PCR and cloned into the lentiviral vector expression plasmid pGC-FU ( with green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene) to construct a lentiviral vector expression plasmid pGC-FU-SNCA-GFP and pGC-FU-SNCA-GFP.After digestion and sequencing,pGC-FU-SNCA-GFP,pGC-FU-SNCA-GFP plasmidandpackaging plasmidpHelper1. 0,pHelper2. 0 were co-transfected into rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12 cells).A stable transfection was established in the PC12 cells. Results By detecting the level of tagged protein of GFP and the target protein, the pGC-FU-SNCA-GFP and pGC-FU-SNCA-GFP expression in target cells was verified. MTT assay was employed to detect cell apoptosis in lentiviral pGC-FU-SNCA-GFP transfected group, lentiviral pGC-FU-SNCAmu-GFP transfected group ( experimental groups), without virus group ( control group) and empty vector group( total four groups cells). After transfection, at different timepoints ( 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 d) the proliferation of cells was slowed ( the F value was 4. 534, 196. 285, 411. 829, 1282. 049, 3135. 559, all P <0.05). PI single staining was used to examine the cell cycle. The percentages of G1 phase, G2 phase,M phase cells were all statistically significant ( the F value was 885.79, 45.03,207.11 ,all P <0. 05). The percentage of G1 phase cells in the four groups cells increased significantly (CON group:59. 10 ±0. 35, NC group:68.24 ±0.60, OE group:71.73 ±0. 11, OE group:74.66 ±0.35). Conclusion This study constructs a foundation for further investigation on the basic function of SNCA and apoptosis related diseases.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate alterations of balance function in patients with mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) and with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI),and the possibility of using posturography to differentiate aMCI,mild-moderate AD and normal subjects. Methods The balance function of 20 patients with mild-moderate AD and 20 patients with aMCI were evaluated by posturography,and 20 healthy subjects of the same age range were recruited as controls.Results All posturography measures were significantly altered in mild-moderate AD patients compared with normal controls,with limits of stability( ( 15 398 ± 926 ) mm2 vs ( 31 654 ± 2132 ) mm2 ),open-eyed Mean X ( ( 10. 2 ± 4. 1 ) mm vs (5.8 ± 1. 4)mm) ,Mean Y(( -29.8 ± 10.2)mm vs ( -14.9 ±4.4) mm),Max X((30.5 ±9.5)mm vs (18.3 ±4. 1)mm ),Max Y((42.7 ± 11.4)mm vs (23.3 ±6.8)mm),LSKG((528.4 ± 105.4)mm vs (390. 3 ± 68.4 ) mm ),SSKG ( ( 252. 5 ± 89. 7 ) mm2 vs ( 178.8 ± 40. 9 ) mm2 ),close-eyed Mean X ((13. 1 ±4. 5) mm vs (7.9 ± 1.5)mm) ,Mean Y (( -58.2 ± 16. 9) mm vs ( -25.6 ±5.4) mm) ,Max X ((37.7±10.5)mm vs (24.7 ±7.3) mm ),Max Y ((78.5±18.7)mm vs (39.9 ±9.9) mm),LSKG ((816.6±171.3) mm vs (533.5 ±97.4) mm),SSKG((649.0 ± 129.7) mm2 vs (290.5 ±73.3) mm2),respectively ( t = 8.57; open-eyed F = 17.41,38. 10,60. 46,102. 10,29. 31,27. 85; close-eyed F = 37.20,541.79,34. 51,185.56,122. 83,384. 27 ;all P <0. 05) ;limits of stability ( (23 921 ± 1637 )mm2 vs (31 654 ±2132 ) mm2 ) and mean Y ( Antero-posterior sway,( - 39. 8 ± 8. 6 ) mm vs ( - 25.6±5.4 ) mm) were the only parameters which discriminated between aMCI and normal controls,respectively ( t = 6. 50,P = 0. 038; t =- 15.34,P = 0. 012). Conclusions Impairment in balance is a feature not only of mild-moderate AD,but also of aMCI,and posturography may be used as a possible test in differentiating between normal subjects,patients with aMCI and patients with mild-moderate AD whose motor performance and balance features are otherwise clinically normal,limits of stability and mean Y are the most sensitive parameters.
