Vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms and the urolithiasis risk: an...
AbstractVitamin D receptor (VDR) plays a key role in calcium metabolism, and is closely related to urinary stone formation (urolithiasis). Previous studies have investigated the associations between...

AbstractBackgroundSpinal cord ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) involves two-phase injury, including an initial acute ischemic insult and subsequent inflammatory reperfusion injury, resulting in blood-spinal...
View ArticleIntrathecal antagonism of microglial TLR 4 reduces inflammatory damage to...
AbstractBackgroundInflammatory reaction in blood–spinal cord barrier (BSCB) plays a crucial role in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. It has been shown that microglia could be activated through...

AbstractPlant cells respond to cold stress via a regulatory mechanism leading to enhanced cold acclimation accompanied by growth retardation. The C-repeat binding factor (CBF) signaling pathway is...
View ArticleMeiosis: Interactions Between Homologous Chromosomes
AbstractMeiosis produces haploid cells to maintain the diploid genome after fusion of gametes and is essential for eukaryotic sexual reproduction. Meiosis is different to mitosis, because it involves...
View ArticleModerate drought causes dramatic floral transcriptomic reprogramming to...
AbstractBackgroundDrought is a major constraint that leads to extensive losses to agricultural yield worldwide. The potential yield is largely determined during inflorescence development. However, to...

Abstract Vertical atlantoaxial dislocation is a type of atlantoaxial instability with upper cervical spinal cord compression. The transoral ondontoid resection with posterior fixation is the gold...
View ArticleRole of ZIC1 methylation in hepatocellular carcinoma and its clinical...
AbstractHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies in humans, and its prognosis is generally poor even after surgery. The zinc finger of the cerebellum (ZIC1) gene is a...
View ArticleSevoflurane postconditioning provides neuroprotection against brain...
AbstractApplication of volatile anesthetics after brain ischemia provides neuroprotection in adult animals (anesthetic postconditioning). We tested whether postconditioning with sevoflurane, the most...
View ArticleSevoflurane preconditioning ameliorates neuronal deficits by inhibiting...
AbstractBackgroundMicroglia are the primary immune cells of the spinal cord that are activated in response to ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury and release various neurotrophic and/or neurotoxic factors...
View ArticleIdentification of microRNAs as novel biomarkers for detecting esophageal...
AbstractAccumulating evidence has suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) may play potential role as ideal diagnostic indicators of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, previous studies have...
View ArticleAn Efficient Group Delay Measurement Method for Frequency Converting System
AbstractThe existing group delay measurement methods can only get the group delay at a certain aperture or frequency perturbation in one or two measurements. A new method based on comb signal is...
