Changes of ATP and ADP in Cultured Astrocytes Under and After in Vitro Ischemia
A very large body of evidence from in vivo studies has been accumulated on a link between the change of energy and cell survival/apoptosis. Using an in vitro ischemia model, we have previously shown that ische...

Effect of Electroacupuncture on Neurotrophin Expression in Cat Spinal Cord after Partial Dorsal Rhizotomy
Neuroplasticity of the spinal cord following electroacupuncture (EA) has been demonstrated although little is known about the possible underlying mechanism. This study evaluated the effect of EA on expression ...

GIDE is a mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin ligase that induces apoptosis and slows growth
Here, we report the identification of GIDE, a mitochondrially located E3 ubiquitin ligase. GIDE contains a C-terminal RING finger domain, which is mostly conserved with those of the IAP family members and is r...

Electro-acupuncture Reduces Neuronal Apoptosis Linked to Bax and Bcl-2 Expression in the Spinal Cords of Cats Subjected to Partial Dorsal Root Ganglionectomy
While electro-acupuncture (EA) has been well known to contribute towards neuroplasticity occurring in both the central and the peripheral nervous system after injury, the underlying mechanism remains largely u...

Electroacupuncture Induced Spinal Plasticity is Linked to Multiple Gene Expressions in Dorsal Root Deafferented Rats
The underlying mechanism for electroacupuncture (EA) associated functional improvement in patients suffering from spinal cord injury (SCI) is largely unknown. Collateral sprouting is one plausible factor, wher...

Recombinant DNA Vaccine Against Inhibition of Neurite Outgrowth Promotes Functional Recovery Associated with Endogeous NGF Expression in Spinal Cord Hemisected Adult Rats
Axonal regeneration across the site of spinal cord lesion is often aborted in adult mammalian species. The use of DNA vaccine to nullify the inhibitory molecules has been shown to be effective in promoting axo...

Effects of Taurine on Glial Cells Apoptosis and Taurine Transporter Expression in Retina Under Diabetic Conditions
Taurine, a ß-aminosulfonic acid, has been reported to reduce the risk of a number of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and also perhaps to reduce neurodegeneration in the elderly. The transpor...

Distribution of TRPC6 in the Cerebrospinal Fluid-Contacting Nucleus of Rat Brain Parenchyma and its Expression in Morphine Dependence and Withdrawal
To investigate the role of cerebrospinal fluid contacting nucleus (CSF-CN) and the changes of TRPC6 expression in morphine dependence and withdrawal. Male Sprague–Dawley rats (250 ± 50 g) were randomly divided...

Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 3 (OCA3): Analysis of Two Novel Mutations in TYRP1 Gene in Two Chinese Patients
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disease characterized by the reduction or deficiency of melanin in eyes, skin, and hair. OCA exhibits genetic heterogeneity. Presently, there are four types of OCA na...

Opioids and HIV/HCV Infection
Since human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) share the same modes of transmission and common risk factors for infection, co-infections with HIV and HCV are frequently found in injection...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells as a Treatment for Peripheral Arterial Disease: Current Status and Potential Impact of Type II Diabetes on Their Therapeutic Efficacy
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), due to their paracrine, transdifferentiation, and immunosuppressive effects, hold great promise as a therapy for peripheral arterial disease. Diabetes is an important risk factor...

Open AccessMiR-214 regulate gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion by targeting PTEN
MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that play an important role in various human tumor initiation and progression by regulating gene expression negatively. The aim of this study was to investigate t...

Open AccessAgo2 facilitates Rad51 recruitment and DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are highly cytotoxic lesions and pose a major threat to genome stability if not properly repaired. We and others have previously shown that a class of DSB-induced small RNAs (di...

SNAP25 Ameliorates Sensory Deficit in Rats with Spinal Cord Transection
Spinal cord injury causes sensory loss below the level of lesion. Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP25) is a t-SNARE protein essential for exocytosis and neurotransmitter release, but its role in sensory...
