宣黄连的生态学特征和栽培研究

宣黄连特指主产安徽的短萼黄连,宣黄连系安徽历史名药,由于长期的采集,资源已经极度枯竭。本文报道了宣黄连的生态学特征和栽培研究,研究表明,野生宣黄连种群主要分布在安徽皖南山区,有林下类型和溪边类型两种,其中以林下类型为主。对宣黄连的栽培结果表明,宣黄连最适宜在皖南山区生长,应建立种质苗圃以保护和繁育宣黄连。

山东章丘上新世巴漏河组和更新统孢粉植物群

山东章丘巴漏河组和上覆更新统孢粉植物研究表明,当地上新世植物群的分布类型趋于单调,草本植物和部分广布型植物繁盛;更新世植物群的成分变得更加贫乏,其中,第三纪常见的喜暖类型已全部消失,而广布型植物类型得以进一步发展。植物群所反映的气候较中新世趋于干冷,与我国华北地区晚第三纪以来植物群的总体发展规律相一致。巴漏河组在层位上与临朐和昌乐等地的尧山组相对比,当前研究表明,以往报道的尧山组底部沉积夹层中的孢粉组合,其时代与山旺组相接近,而不同于巴漏河组;孢粉证据支持将其归于山旺组的划分意见。通过比较,建立巴漏河组与山东北部钻孔剖面明化镇组上段孢粉组合的对比比较。

Overexpression of miRNA 4451 is Associated With a Poor Survival of Patients With Hypopharyngeal Cancer After Surgery With Postoperative Radiotherapy

Hypopharyngeal cancer (HC) is the most common subset of head and neck cancers. These tumors often have an aggressive clinical outcome characterized by local invasion and regional nodal metastasis. Upregulated miRNAs might be useful as biomarkers for prognosis and molecular targets for these tumors. We determined tumor expression of candidate miRNAs using microarray in 8 HC patients and validated in 372 HC patients. We also used paired tumorous and mucosal tissue to verify the miRNA expression. Log-rank test and Cox model were used to evaluate the survival; and Harrell's C-index was used to compare concordance of Cox models. Our results indicated 7 miRNAs aberrantly expressed in HC. Three of these candidate miRNAs (miRNA-4415, miRNA-200a, and miRNA-30b) were selected for further qRT-PCR validation and all of them were frequently found upregulated in HC tumors; with miR-4451 being the most differentially expressed. Moreover, high expression of miR-4451 was positively correlated with advanced tumor stage and increased mortality risk (HR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.2–2.3; adjusted HR: 1.5, adjusted 95% CI: 1.1–2.1). Finally, significantly higher expression of miR-4451 in tumors compared to in fresh adjacent normal tissues indicates an oncogenic role of miR-4451 in this tumor. Upregulated miR-4451 in HC samples were frequently found and is significantly associated with advanced stage and poor survival of HC, which may indicate an association of this miRNA with the carcinogenesis process in this tumor site; and they could serve as a prognostic biomarker as well as help develop potential new targets for therapy.
