Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a dual role in plants as the toxic by-product of normal cell metabolism and as a regulatory molecule in stress perception and signal transduction. However, a clear inventory as to how this dual function is regulated in plants is far from complete. In particular, how plants maintain survival under oxidative stress via adjustments of the intercellular metabolic netw...

The relationship between chromosome deletion in wheat and protein expression were investigated using Chinese Spring and fine deletion line 3BS-8. Through 2-DE (2-D electrophoresis) analysis, no differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were found in leaf samples; however, 47 DEPs showed at least two-fold abundance variation (p < 0.05) in matured wheat grains and 21 spots were identified by tande...

ethanol known as ethyl alcohol is being widely used around the world. many serious diseases are related with its consumption.  alcohol posses many divers effects on human body including risk of cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma. therefore, analysis of this component is prominent. fibroblast cells were cultured in various dosages of ethanol. the effective dosage was then investigated by ...

BACKGROUND Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) or grade IV astrocytoma is the most common and lethal adult malignant brain tumor. Several of the molecular alterations detected in gliomas may have diagnostic and/or prognostic implications. Proteomics has been widely applied in various areas of science, ranging from the deciphering of molecular pathogen nests of discuses. METHODS In this study protei...

We evaluated visual outcomes, changes of maximum macular thickness (MMT) and subretinal fluid (SRF), and safety in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) after treatment with selective retina therapy (SRT). Retrospective cohort study of patients with chronic CSC presenting to a university-based hospital from January 2014 through January 2015 was conducted. A total of 12 ey...

PURPOSE To characterize microaneurysms in diabetic retinopathy (DR) depicted by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). DESIGN Retrospective, observational case series. METHODS We surveyed a consecutive series of 76 eyes from 60 patients with DR (22 mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy [NPDR]; 43 moderate NPDR; 9 severe NPDR; 2 proliferative diabetic retinopathy [PDR]) ...

Drought stress in plants, the change (increase or decrease) in the production of plant proteins. Proteomics in recent years one of the most powerful tools that help us to study the changes in protein In order to investigate the proteome of wheat leaves in response to terminal drought, two genotypes susceptible and resistant wheat genotypes were evaluated under irrigated (non-stress) and rain-fe...

duchene and becker muscular dystrophy (dmd and bmd) are x-linked conditions that result from a defect in the dystrophin gene located on xp21. dmd is the most frequent neuromuscular disease in humans (1/3500 male newborns). in approximately 65% of dmd and bmd patients, deletions in the dystrophin gene have been identified as the molecular determinant. population-based variations in frequency and...

Differences in serum protein profiles were analyzed to identify possible biomarkers associated with a poultry leg problem named tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) that can lead to lameness. A bead-based affinity matrix (ProteoMiner TM ) containing a combinatorial library of hexapeptides was used to deplete high abundant proteins and enrich the less abundant ones to compare between the sera of six-wee...
