Osteosarcoma is the most frequently occurring solid bone cancer with the second highest cancer-related mortality in pediatric patients. Even though epidermal growth factor-like domain 7 is known to be overexpressed in osteosarcoma and is associated with poor clinical outcome, few reports are available regarding its mechanism. Epidermal growth factor-like domain 7-knockdown U2OS...

Objective To explore the method and effect of surgical treatment on grade Ⅲ collateral ligament injuries caused by military training.Methods Sixteen cases of grade Ⅲ collateral ligament injuries caused by military training were involved in the present study.Injuries to insertion of collateral ligament was repaired with suture anchor,fresh rupture of medial collateral ligament...
Background Chronic kidney disease and occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) are closely related. No studies have examined whether renal impairment (RI) without severe renal dysfunction is associated with the occurrence of AF. Methods Unilateral RI with mild renal insufficiency was induced in beagles by embolization of small branches of the renal artery in the left kidney for 2...
Background A close association exists between renal impairment (RI) and atrial fibrillation (AF) occurrence. Increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) may contribute to the development of AF associated with RI. Renal denervation (RDN) decreases central sympathetic activity. Objective The main objective of the study was to explore the effects of RDN on AF...
Tricheary elements (TEs), wrapped by secondary cell wall, play essential roles in water, mineral, and nutrient transduction. Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that is absorbed by roots and transported to shoot, leaves, and grains through vascular systems in plants. As rice is a major source of Cd intake, many efforts have been made to establish ‘low-Cd rice’. However, no links...
Cutaneous malignant melanoma is the fastest increasing malignancy in humans. Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) is a novel growth factor identified from human hepatoma cell line. HDGF overexpression is correlated with poor prognosis in various types of cancer including melanoma. However, the underlying mechanism of HDGF overexpression in developing melanoma remains unclear. In...
The mRNA encoding α-bungarotoxin (α-Butx) was prepared from the venom glands of Bungarus multicinctus by Cap-finder cDNA synthesis. The sequences of the 3′- and 5′-flanking regions including a signal peptide of α-Butx were almost identical with those of Elapidae and Hydrophiidae toxins, suggesting that they may have the same origin. Sixteen polymorphic mRNA sequences of α-Butx...
