The aim of this study was to explore the effect of aquaporin on the molecular mechanism of human diabetic myocardial cell apoptosis. The methylthiazolyle tetrazolium assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of different concentrations of aquaporin on cell growth. The rate of aquaporin-induced myocardial cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometric analysis of Annexin V-fluorescein ... more
MyoD and MyoG are transcription factors that have essential roles in myogenic lineage determination and muscle differentiation. The purpose of this study was to compare multiple amino acid sequences of myogenic regulatory proteins to infer evolutionary relationships among chordates. Protein sequences from Mus musculus (P10085 and P12979), human Homo sapiens (P15172 and ... more
We investigated serum visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin (vaspin) levels in patients with normal glucose regulation and recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and explored the association between vaspin and body mass index, age, gender, glucose, lipid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity. Fasting serum vaspin levels in 66 patients with T2DM and 48 normal subjects were detected using ... more
This study investigated the relationship between alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function and glucose and lipid metabolism in diabetic rats. To accomplish this a diabetes model was established by jointly administering a long-term high-fat diet plus Streptozotocin (STZ; 50 mg/kg ip). The rats were randomly divided into four groups: 1) a normal control group ... more
Cells isolated from human first trimester umbilical cord perivascular layer (hFTM-PV) tissues display the pluripotent characteristics of stem cells. In this study, we examined whether hFTM-PV cells can differentiate into islet-like clusters (ILCs) in vitro, and whether transplantation of the hFTM-PV cells with and without differentiation in vitro can alleviate diabetes ... more
Diabetes-induced xerophthalmia is a general metabolic disorder with high incidence and increased treatment difficulty. Our study aimed to explore the combined effect of traditional Chinese and Western medicines on diabetes-associated xerophthalmia. We recruited 60 diabetic xerophthalmia patients, and randomly assigned them to either the control (Western medicine ... more
Atherosclerosis is a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease that evolves in response to aggression of the endothelium, causing plaque formation in large or medium-sized arteries. Various co-factors can accelerate the evolution of this pathology, such as systemic arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus. Given that nitrous oxide is a potent ... more
To date, the only study to evaluate blood pressure control in Vietnam in accordance with Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8) recommendations has been Nguyen Van Tri's 2015 study, which included nearly 6,000 older people with hypertension. This study showed that the proportion of blood pressure control at that time was 21.9%. We examined the relationship between ... more
Highly conserved endogenous non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in plants and animals by silencing genes via destruction or blocking of translation of homologous mRNA. Sugar beet, Beta vulgaris, is one of the most important sugar crops in China, with properties that include wide adaptability and strong tolerance to salinity and impoverished soils. Seedlings of ... more
We cloned the LOC339524 gene in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and analyzed the structure and function of the protein encoded by it. Based on the known human LOC339524 gene sequences, the full-length coding sequence of the LOC339524 gene in SD rats was cloned and amplified by the polymerase chain reaction using the complementary DNA of SD rats as a template. Bioinformatics analysis showed that ... more
