Role of injured pancreatic extract promotes bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells efficiently differentiate into insulin-producing cells.

Hongbin Xie; Yunshuai Wang; Hui Zhang et al.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 8 No. 9 · 2013 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be successfully induced to differentiate into insulin-producing cells (IPCs) by a variety of small molecules and cytokines in vitro. However, problems remain, such as low transdifferentiation efficiency and poor maturity of trans-differentiated cells. The damaged…

Antifungal Activity of Eucalyptus Oil against Rice Blast Fungi and the Possible Mechanism of Gene Expression Pattern

Li-Jun Zhou; Fu-Rong Li; Li-Jie Huang et al.

Molecules, Vol. 21 No. 5 · 2016 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Eucalyptus oil possesses a wide spectrum of biological activity, including anti-microbial, fungicidal, herbicidal, acaricidal and nematicidal properties. We studied anti-fungal activities of the leaf oil extracted from Eucalyptus. grandis × E. urophylla. Eleven plant pathogenic fungi were tested…

Waist Circumference and Body Mass Index Variability and Incident Diabetic Microvascular Complications: A Analysis of ACCORD Trial

Daniel Nyarko Hukportie; Fu-Rong Li; Rui Zhou et al.

Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, Vol. 46 No. 5 · 2022 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Background Obesity is associated with adverse health events among diabetic patients, however, the relationship between obesity fluctuation and risk of microvascular complications among this specific population is unclear. We aimed to examine the effect of waist circumference (WC) and body mass…

Penicillamine increases free copper and enhances oxidative stress in the brain of toxic milk mice.

Ding-Bang Chen; Li Feng; Xiao-Pu Lin et al.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 7 No. 5 · 2012 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Wilson disease (WD) is characterized by the accumulation of copper arising from a mutation in the ATP7B gene. Penicillamine (PA) makes 10-50% of the patients with neurologic symptoms neurologically worse at the early stage of administration. The aim of this study was to determine how the copper…

The immunoregulation effect of alpha 1-antitrypsin prolong β-cell survival after transplantation.

Yun Wang; Hong-Jie Yan; Shu-Yan Zhou et al.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 9 No. 4 · 2014 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Islet transplantation has considerable potential as a cure for diabetes. However, the difficulties that arise from inflammation and the immunological rejection of transplants must be addressed for islet transplantation to be successful. Alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) inhibits the damage on β cells…
