To investigate the effect of Sulfiredoxin-1 (Srxn1) on astrocyte injury induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).Observing changes H2O2 contents lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and apoptosis after transfected Srxn1 siRNA into astrocytes. The protein expression Notch 1, NICD Hes1, content LDH MDA, activity SOD rate astrocytes inhibiting or activation signalling pathway were detected Western blot, ELISA flow cytometry, respectively.Knockdown could...

Abstract It is prevalent to use ecological niche models in the analysis of species expansion and changes. However, it difficult estimate when alien fail establish exotic areas. Here, we applied tolerance concept, which means that can live grow but preclude a from establishing self‐sustaining populations, such fail‐to‐establish events. Taking rapidly expanded bird, Asian openbill ( Anastomus oscitans ), as model species, investigated dynamics its potential effects on population by Niche A...

Whether calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV) plays a role in regulating immunologic features of muscle cells inflammatory environment, as it does for immune cells, remains mostly unknown. In this study, we investigated the influence endogenous CaMKIV on immunological characteristics myoblasts and myotubes received IFN-γ stimulation.C2C12 murine myogenic precursor (MPCs) were cultured differentiated vitro, presence pro-inflammatory IFN-γ. shRNA lentivirus transfection was...

The Emberiza pusilla is a common bunting with very wide geographical range. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome of E. (16,790 bp in length) has been analyzed for building database. results showed that it consisted 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA 2 ribosomal and 1 control region. base composition mtDNA was A (29.6%), G (14.8%), C (32.8%), T (22.9%), so percentage (52.5%) slightly higher than C. All genes were distributed on H-strand, except ND6 subunit gene 10 tRNA which encoded L-strand.

Black-faced bunting (Emberiza spodocephala) is a common small songbird with widely geographical range. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Emberiza spodocephala was determined. The study showed that total length mitogenome 16,796 bp as circular DNA consists 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA 2 rRNA and 1 control region (CR). Overall base composition 29.81% A, 23.12% T, 32.51% C, 14.56% G. CR 1215 in located between tRNAGln tRNAPhe genes. genes from were overlapped 29 at 6...

The concept of foraging niche provides an insight into habitat use and dietary information animals. Knowing intraspecific variation in trophic level is critical to the understanding species response environmental changes during process range expansion, as well management for conservation threatened species. Using stable isotopic values eggshell membranes (δ13C δ15N), we examined whether there are differences use, level, width between new old breeding habitats (plains vs. mountains) wild...

Abstract Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are facing fire hazard when they used in construction and furniture need to be treated with protection. In this work, polyurethane (PU) was applied derive simultaneously flame‐retardancy‐improved mechanically strengthened wood‐polyurethane (WPUCs). It constructed ammonium polyphosphate (APP) PU by a simple way. The results showed that decrease smoke production the Cone Calorimeter Test measured. When mass of APP is 18% PU, limiting oxygen index can...

Emberiza rustica, least concern species (IUCN), is a passerine bird in the bunting family with wide geographical range. The complete mitochondrial genome of E. rustica (16,798 bp length) had been analyzed for building database. Similar to typical mtDNA vertebrates, it contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA and 22 tRNA genes) non-coding region (D-loop). All were distributed on H-strand, except ND6 subunit gene 10 which encoded L-strand.

Abstract The mitochondrial flavoprotein apoptosis‐inducing factor (AIF) has proved to be either the main mediator of apoptosis or an anti‐apoptotic via its putative oxidoreductase and peroxide scavenging activities. We report here that 100 µM hydrogen (H 2 O ) induced proliferation C2C12 myoblasts over‐expression AIF simultaneously in vitro . Immunofluorescence showed was located cytoplasm. immunopositive detected nuclei 27 days after denervation skeletal muscle, but cytoplasm it...

Emberiza cioides is a passerine bird of eastern Asia which belongs to the genus in bunting family Emberizidae. The complete mitochondrial genome E. was obtained for first time. circular (16,765 bp length) consists 37 typical animal genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA 2 ribosomal genes) and 1 control region. Except 8 tRNA ND6 gene, all were distributed plus strand identical those most vertebrates.

Little is known about the migration of Gray-headed Lapwing (Vanellus cinereus). During fall season 2018, we tracked 3 birds from Guiyang Airport, China, a stopover site Lapwing, in order to analyze their migratory and wintering movements by means GPS-GSM satellite telemetry. We obtained partial routes 2 complete spring September 2018 July 2019. identified E India Bangladesh as ground NE China breeding area. The covered 3,380 km took 12 d on average (n = 2). Lapwings migrated at night, flying...

RNA deletions may be easier to detect and more extensive than DNA deletions. Two large deletion fragments (1120 7811 bp) of mitochondrial were observed in rat L6 muscle cells. At the site 1120 bp deletion, remaining fragment was re-linked by a short additional section (GGTATGAAGCT). These kinds accelerated oxidative stress not DNA.

Abstract Wood-plastic composites (WPCs), which are widely used in construction and furniture, need to be treated with fire protection. In this work, polyurethane (PU) was applied derive simultaneously flame-retardancy-improved mechanically strengthened wood-polyurethane (WPUCs). It constructed ammonium polyphosphate (APP) PU by an eco-friendly way of pressing at ambient temperature. The combination APP improves the flame retardancy smoke suppression WPCs. results indicated that WPUCs is best...
