Abstract Obesity results from numerous, interacting genetic, behavioral and physiological factors. Adipogenesis is partially regulated by several adipocyte-selective microRNAs (miRNAs) transcription factors that regulate proliferation differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs-Ad). In this study, we examined the roles miRNAs in hMSCs-Ad to adipocytes. Results showed levels miR-148a, miR-26b, miR-30, miR-199a increased differentiating hMSCs-Ad. Among these miRNAs,...

Difenoconazole (DIF), a common broad-spectrum triazole fungicide, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to the mechanisms underlying this association. In study, zebrafish embryos were exposed DIF (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1.2 mg/L) from 4 96 h post fertilization (hpf) toxicity was evaluated. Our results showed that decreased hatching rate, survival rate heart malformation rate. Cardiovascular deformities are most prominent,...

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (n-TiO2) could enhance the bioavailability and toxicity of coexisting organic contaminants in aquatic environment. This study attempted to investigate combined effects n-TiO2 difenoconazole (DIF) on neurodevelopment zebrafish underlying mechanisms. In this study, embryos were exposed (100 μg/L), DIF (0, 0.1 0.5 mg/L) their mixtures from 4 96 h post fertilization (hpf) neurotoxicity was evaluated. Our results indicated that adsorbed into brain significantly...

ABSTRACT Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental pollutants that affect embryonic development. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects exposure PCBs on early retinal development in zebrafish, Danio rerio . Zebrafish embryos were immediately exposed different concentrations (0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg) per liter medium at 28.5 °C. Embryos assessed 30, 48, 72 96 h post‐fertilization (hpf) for changes survival rate, development, larval morphology...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a group of highly toxic environmental pollutants, have been report to influence the visual system development in children. However, underlying mechanism is unclear. The study was aim investigate effects continuous PCBs exposure on optomotor response (OMR) and retinal photoreceptor cell development-related gene expression zebrafish larvae. fertilized embryos were exposed at concentrations 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1 mg/L until 7 days post-fertilization. Control...

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are a group of induced by abnormal brain developmental processes. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays an essential role in executive function, and its NDDs has been reported. associated with high-risk gene mutations share partially overlapping genetic abnormalities.Neurexins (NRXNs) related to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD). NRXN1, susceptibility for NDDs, reported be NDDs. However, little is known about key NDDs.NRXN1...

Objective To evaluate the development level of children’s physiological hand shape indicators and their relationship with grip/pinch strength. Methods Hand strength in 1255 Chinese children aged 5 to 13 years were prospectively measured. Development curves constructed. Results The (full length, middle finger width, wrist thickness) boys girls increased age showed statistically significant differences at different ages. In most groups, larger than same age. After puberty, more rapidly age,...

Introduction Inhibition control, as the core component of executive function, might play a crucial role in understanding attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorders (SLD). control deficits have been observed children with ADHD or SLD. This study sought to test multi-modal fashion (i.e., behavior plus brain imaging) whether inhibition abilities would be further deteriorated due comorbidity Method A total number 90 (aged 6-12 years) were recruited, including...
