BACKGROUND: Humic acid is a natural polymeric composition which is produced as a result of decaying organic matters in soil, peat and lignin to increase crop product. OBJECTIVES: Assessment the effect of different irrigation regime and humic acid on red bean production and correlation coefficient between measured traits. METHODS: Cu...

Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the role of miR-206 in propofol induced protective effects in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods: Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model of mouse motoneuron-like cell line NSC-43 was established, and the expression miR-206 upon propofol treatment was analyzed by Realtime PCR. Cells were transfected with mi...

Aspartame is a phenylalanine containing sweetener, added to foods and drinks, which avoided in phenylketonuria (PKU). However, the amount of provided by aspartame unidentifiable from food drinks labels. We performed cross-sectional online survey aiming examine accidental consumption PKU. 206 questionnaires (58% female) were completed. 55% respondents (n = 114) adults with PKU or their parent/ca...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been investigated widely as key regulators of gene expression in different diseases by affecting the miRNA‑mediated regulatory function. Human enterovirus 71 (HEV71) can cause a series of human diseases, including encephalitis. Chemokine (C‑C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is one of the important genes involved in regulating inflammation. However, the mechanisms underlying HEV71...

in this paper, leaching of lead and cadmium was investigated from porcelain over glaze designs between different colors.  also the effect of microwave heating was considered on leaching of lead and cadmium.  dishes were selected with a decor with the dominant color of gray, red, yellow, blue, and dark blue. amounts of cadmium and lead which leached from the container by acetic acid and orange j...

Ethylene or thiourea can substitute for gibberellic acid but not for red light in breaking the secondary dormancy induced by extended dark storage of fully hydrated lettuce seeds (Lactuca sativa cv. Grand Rapids). After 10 days of storage, ethylene, thiourea, or gibberellic acid applied either separately or in any combination in conjunction with red light induced near maximal germination. When ...

Hypertrehalosaem ic horm ones I and II from the corpus card iacum o f the A m erican cockroach (Periplaneta americana) were separated by reversed-phase h igh-perform ance liquid chrom ato­ graphy using a N ucleosil C 18 colum n with a trifluoroacetic acid /aceton itrile gradient. T he eluent was monitored at 206 nm and the hypertrehalosaem ic activity detected by bioassay. T he am ino acid comp...

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR)/MAPK signaling can induce a switch in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, from an estrogen receptor (ER) -positive, Luminal-A phenotype, to an ER negative, Basal-like phenotype. Although mechanisms for this switch remain obscure, Basal-like cancers are typically high grade and confer a poorer clinical prognosis. We previously reported that miR-206 and ER rep...

Micro-RNAs are small noncoding RNAs, which diminish the stability and/or translation of mRNAs. This study examined whether miR-206, previously shown to be elevated in estrogen receptor (ER) -negative breast cancer, regulates the expression of ER . Two putative miR-206 sites, (hER 1 and hER 2), were found in silico within the 3 -untranslated region of human ER mRNA. Transfection of MCF-7 cells w...
