Recent progress in magnetic nanoparticles and mesoporous materials for enzyme i...
Ding,S.-S.; Zhu,J.-P.; Wang,Y.; Yu,Y.; Zhao,Z.Abstract Enzymes immobilized onto substrates with excellent selectivity and activity show a high stability and can withstand extreme experimental conditions, and their performance has been shown to be retained after repeated uses. Applications of immobilized enzymes in various fields benefit from their unique characteristics. Common methods, including adsorption, encapsulation, covalent attachment and crosslink...
Response and tolerance mechanism of food crops under high temperature stress: a...
Han,S.; Jiang,S.; Xiong,R.; Shafique,K.; Zahid,K. R.; Wang,Y.Abstract High temperature stress events are critical factors inhibiting crop yield. Meanwhile, world population is growing very rapidly and will be reached up to 9 billion by 2050. To feed increasing world population, it is challenging task to increase about 70% global food productions. Food crops have significant contribution toward global food demand and food security. However, consequences from increasing he...
Impact of inorganic salts on vase life and postharvest qualities of the cut flo...
Lou,X.; Anwar,M.; Wang,Y.; Zhang,H.; Ding,J.Abstract This study was carried out in the laboratory of Shangqiu Institute of Technology, Henan to investigate the effect of a different combination of inorganic salt on the quality and physiological characteristics of cut flowers (CFs) of Perpetual Carnation. Furthermore, to find out the best preservation solution of inorganic salt that can enhance the ornamental value of CFs of Carnation and prolong its vase...
Social mindfulness and prosociality vary across the globe
Van Doesum, N. J.; Murphy, R. O.; Gallucci, M.; Aharonov-Majar, E.; Athenstaedt, U.; Au, W. T.; Bai, L.; Böhm, R.; Bovina, I.; Buchan, N. R.Humans are social animals, but not everyone will be mindful of others to the same extent. Individual differences have been found, but would social mindfulness also be shaped by one's location in the world? Expecting cross-national differences to exist, we examined if and how social mindfulness differs across countries. At little to no material cost, social mindfulness typically entails small acts of attention o...
Characterization of air-liquid interface culture of A549 alveolar epithelial cells
Wu,J.; Wang,Y.; Liu,G.; Jia,Y.; Yang,J.; Shi,J.; Dong,J.; Wei,J.; Liu,X.Alveolar epithelia play an essential role in maintaining the integrity and homeostasis of lungs, in which alveolar epithelial type II cells (AECII) are a cell type with stem cell potential for epithelial injury repair and regeneration. However, mechanisms behind the physiological and pathological roles of alveolar epithelia in human lungs remain largely unknown, partially owing to the difficulty of isolation an...
Rankl expression predicts poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients: results fr...
Zhang,X.; Song,Y.; Song,N.; Zhang,L.; Wang,Y.; Li,D.; Wang,Z.; Qu,X.; Liu,Y.The receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)/RANK pathway plays an important role in the prognosis of several solid tumor types, but its role in gastric cancer prognosis has been poorly characterized. A total of 116 gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical resection were enrolled in this study. Expressions of RANKL and RANK in gastric cancer tissues were detected using immunohistochemical st...
Therapy of tacrolimus combined with corticosteroids in idiopathic membranous ne...
Cui,W.; Lu,X.; Min,X.; Liu,M.; Guan,S.; Wang,Y.; Luo,M.; Li,W.; Li,Q.; Dong,W.; Miao,L.; Luo,P.We evaluated the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus (TAC) combined with corticosteroids in treating patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). One hundred seventy-seven biopsy-proven IMN patients were recruited in this retrospective clinical study. Sixty patients received TAC (target blood concentration of 4–8 ng/mL) and 117 patients received daily cyclophosphamide (CYC, 100 mg) combined with prednis...
Down-regulation of single-stranded DNA-binding protein 1 expression induced by ...
Guo,N.; Zhang,N.; Yan,L.; Cao,X.; Lv,F.; Wang,J.; Wang,Y.; Cong,H.The objective of this study was to observe the infection of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) to human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and its effect on the expression of single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSBP1) and on lipid metabolism in endothelial cells. We screened the differential expression of mRNAs after HCMV infection by suppression subtractive hybridization and the expression levels of SSBP1 mRNA and p...
Investigating ego modules and pathways in osteosarcoma by integrating the EgoNe...
Chen,X.Y.; Chen,Y.H.; Zhang,L.J.; Wang,Y.; Tong,Z.C.Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone malignancy, but current therapies are far from effective for all patients. A better understanding of the pathological mechanism of OS may help to achieve new treatments for this tumor. Hence, the objective of this study was to investigate ego modules and pathways in OS utilizing EgoNet algorithm and pathway-related analysis, and reveal pathological mechanisms un...
Effect of salt intake and potassium supplementation on brachial-ankle pulse wav...
Wang,Y.; Mu,J.J.; Geng,L.K.; Wang,D.; Ren,K.Y.; Guo,T.S.; Chu,C.; Xie,B.Q.; Liu,F.Q.; Yuan,Z.Y.Accumulating evidence has suggested that high salt and potassium might be associated with vascular function. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of salt intake and potassium supplementation on brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) in Chinese subjects. Forty-nine subjects (28-65 years of age) were selected from a rural community of northern China. All subjects were sequentially maintained on a...
