Background. It has been reported that circRNAs are differentially expressed in a wide range of cancers and could be used as a new biomarker for diagnosis. However, the correlation between circRNAs and gastric cancer (GC) it is still unclear. Materials and Methods. In this study, by using real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions (qRT-PCRs), we detected the expression level of hsa_circ_0001649 in tissue and serum samples from GC patients. Results. We found that hsa_circ_0001649 expression was significantly downregulated in GC tissue compared with their paired paracancerous histological normal tissues (PCHNTs) (P<0.01). We next analyzed the expression level of hsa_circ_0001649 in serum samples between preoperative and postoperative GC patients. We found that its level in serum was significantly upregulated after surgery (P<0.01). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.834. Moreover, the expression level of hsa_circ_0001649 was significantly correlated with pathological differentiation (P=0.039). Conclusion. Our test suggested that hsa_circ_0001649 was significantly downregulated in GC and may become a novel potential biomarker in the diagnosis of GC.

Background. Gastric cancer (GC) has a poor prognosis due to the lack of ideal tumor markers. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel type of noncoding RNA related to the occurrence of GC. Among our research, we investigated the role of hsa_circ_0005556 in GC. Materials and Methods. The expression of hsa_circ_0005556 of 100 paired GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues was detected using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was established to evaluate the diagnostic value of hsa_circ_0005556. The correlation between the expression of hsa_circ_0005556 and corresponding clinicopathological characteristic was explored. Results. hsa_circ_0005556 was significantly downregulated in GC tissues contrasted with adjacent normal tissues (n=100, p<0.001). The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of hsa_circ_0005556 were up to 0.773, while 64% sensitivity and 82% specificity, respectively. Moreover, its expression levels were significantly associated with differentiation (p=0.001), TNM stage (p=0.013), and lymphatic metastasis (p=0.039). GC patients of high hsa_circ_0005556 levels had a longer overall survival (OS) than those of the low group (p=0.047). Conclusion. hsa_circ_0005556 is a potential biomarker for GC, which may guide judgment of the indication of endoscopic treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC).

Drought, cold and salinity are the primary factors limiting wheat production. It has been shown that a wheat stress-responsive WRKY transcription factor encoded by the wheat WRKY10 gene plays an important role in drought, cold and salinty stress tolerance. The aim of the current study was to WRKY10 gene expression in drought, cold and salinity up-regulated in six varieties of Mongolian local wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), to select the stress tolerant best variety for breeding program. Plants expressing TaWRKY10 was up-regulated 48 hours stress by treatment with polyethylene glycol (PEG6000), 200 mM NaCl and 40C cold. Results of RT-PCR indicate that the all varieties show the gene expression level. Furthermore, reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions revealed that the expressions of WRKY 10 genes involved in abiotic stress signaling of six wheat varieties. These results indicated highest expression level of the WRKY10 in Darkhan-131 and lowest expression in Darkhan-34. And our study provided a promising approach to improve the tolerances of wheat cultivars to drought and salinity varieties of selection materials.Mongolian Journal of Agricultural Sciences Vol.13(2) 2014: 136-140

Aim. This study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of OSR2, VAV3, and PPFIA3 hypermethylation in gastric cancer (GC) patients. Patients and Methods. By using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP), we detected the methylation status in tissue and serum samples from 48 gastric cancer (GC) patients and 25 normal individuals. Results. We found that OSR2, VAV3, and PPFIA3 were methylated in 70.8% (34/48), 54.2% (26/48), and 60.4% (29/48) of GC tissue, respectively. On the contrary, those genes were barely methylated in their paired paracancerous histological normal tissues (PCHNTs) (all P values < 0.01). We next analyzed the methylated OSR2, VAV3, and PPFIA3 in serum DNA. Compared with 25 normal individuals, those three genes were significantly hypermethylated in GC patients serum samples (all P values < 0.01). Regarding their diagnostic value in serum samples, the combined sensitivity of at least one positive among the three markers in serum was 83.3%, with a specificity of 88%. Conclusion. Our test suggested that methylation of OSR2, VAV3, and PPFIA3 genes in serum sample may offer a good alternative in a simple, promising, and noninvasive detection of GC.

During the spring, an outbreak of sudden death involving 58 birds occurred in a zoo. Histopathological examinations revealed variable numbers of intracytoplasmic basophilic microorganisms in the macrophages, hepatocytes, and renal epithelium of most birds, along with occasional botryoid intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies within histiocytes in the bursa of Fabricius. Based on the results of histopathological examinations, immunohistochemical staining, transmission electron microscopy, and polymerase chain reactions, genotype B Chlamydia psittaci infection concurrent with pigeon circovirus (PiCV) was diagnosed. A retrospective survey, including two years before the outbreak and the outbreak year, of C. psittaci and PiCV infections of dead birds in the aviaries, revealed that the outbreak was an independent episode. The findings of this study indicate that concurrent infection with C. psittaci and PiCV might lead to lethal outbreaks of chlamydiosis, particularly Streptopelia orientalis. In addition, persistently monitoring both pathogens and identifying potential PiCV carriers or transmitters might also help prevent lethal disease outbreaks.
