Glioma is the most frequent primary intracranial tumor worldwide. Dexmedetomidine an efficient anesthetic used in surgery and has impact on glioma. Yet, mechanism of dexmedetomidine biological characteristics glioma cells unknown. Circ_BRAF, microRNA-381-3p thrombospondin 2 was detected via quantitative reverse transcription-polymer chine reaction. Proliferation detection conducted using 3-(4,5...

Inactivated LRRC4 has been clinically detected in gliomas, and promoter hypermethylation has been implicated as the mechanism of inactivation in some of those tumors. Our previous researches indicated that LRRC4 is a target gene of miR-381, the interaction of miR-381 and LRRC4 is involved in glioma growth. In this study, we demonstrate that LRRC4 is a target gene of the other microRNA, miR-182....

Lactobacillus animalis 381-IL-28 is an integral component of a multistrain commercial culture with food biopreservative and pathogen biocontrol functionality. A draft sequence of the L. animalis 381-IL-28 genome is described in this paper.

BACKGROUND New regulations by the Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office provide for the monitoring of breed health by Swiss breeding clubs. In collaboration with the Swiss Bernese Mountain Dog Club, the purpose of this study was to investigate the causes of death in purebred dogs registered by the club and born in 2001 and 2002. RESULTS Of a total of 1290 Bernese mountain dogs (BMDs...

Both epidemiologic and experimental findings suggest that infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis exacerbates progression of atherosclerosis. As P. gingivalis exhibits significant strain variation, it is reasonable that different strains possess different capabilities and/or mechanisms by which they promote atherosclerosis. Using P. gingivalis strains that have been previously evaluated in the ...

The gene encoding a 51 kDa polypeptide of Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 was isolated by immunoblotting using an antiserum raised against P. gingivalis alkaline phosphatase. DNA sequence analysis of a 2.5 kb DNA fragment containing a gene encoding the 51 kDa protein revealed one complete and two incomplete ORFs. Database searches using the FASTA program revealed significant homology between the P...

In Nicotiana suaveolens N. tabacum hybrid cells incubated with high levels (0.8, 4.0 or 20 mM) of BAP at 28°C, the percentage of dead cells and extent of nuclear fragmentation were suppressed and some cultured cells remained green compared with those incubated with a standard level (0.04 mM) of BAP. Though DNA ladders were detected in all hybrid cells incubated at 28°C, positive signals for TUN...
