Identification of the Granule-Bound Starch Synthase (GBSS) Genes Involved in Amylose Biosynthesis in Tartary Buckwheat (<i>Fagopyrum tataricum</i> (L.) Gaertn.) by Juan Huang, Fei Liu, Jieqiong Zhang, Bin Tang, Jiao Deng, Taoxiong Shi, Liwei Zhu, Hongyou Li, Qingfu Chen

“…Based on the genome data of Tartary buckwheat, five <i>FtGBSS</i> genes, namely <i>FtGBSS-1</i> to <i>FtGBSS-5</i>, were identified on three chromosomes, exhibiting about 1800 bp lengths in their CDSs and numerous exons and introns in gene structures. Amino acid analyses revealed high homology in ten GBSS proteins from Tartary buckwheat, rice, maize, and <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>, with a specific starch synthase catalytic domain and ten conserved motifs. …”

Effect of Electroacupuncture on Chondrocyte Apoptosis in Knee Osteoarthritis Rat Based on PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway by Yuanyuan ZHANG, Xinyu JIANG, Xihai LI, Mingxia WU

“…Compared with the model group, the cartilage morphology of the experimental group 1 and the experimental group 2 was neat, the number of chondrocytes was increased, the matrix staining was deepened, the tidal line was complete, Mankin's score was significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.01), the expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α in the synovium were significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.01), the expressions of PI3K, Akt and Bcl-2 mRNA and protein were significantly increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.01), and the expression of Bax mRNA and protein were significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.01). The morphological structure of the experimental group 3 was not improved, and there was no significant difference in the results of the indicators (<italic>P</italic>&gt; 0.05).Conclusion:Electroacupuncture of the bilateral internal and external knee eyes can improve the expression of Bcl-2, decrease the expression of Bax, and reduce the production of inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α by regulating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the degradation of cartilage matrix and apoptosis of chondrocytes, protecting and improving the morphology of cartilage, and delaying the development of knee osteoarthritis.…”
