Development of SSR and SNP markers for identifying opium poppy

Papaver somniferum L. (opium poppy) is the original plant of heroin, which is a major narcotic drug, and this plant has brought great harm to human health. However, the ban on opium poppy cultivation and trafficking is facing great challenges because of abnormal profits. Therefore, rapid and accurate identification is important to address the abovementioned problems. In this study, eleven simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers and two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were mined to distinguish opium poppy from other six Papaver species. These molecular markers were further verified through a large number of plant materials of these seven Papaver species. An excellent multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system that simultaneously amplifies the three of eleven SSR markers was developed, which effectively improves the efficiency and speed of identification. The present research is of great implication for identifying and investigating the illegal cultivation and trafficking of opium poppy.

     

Effects of fluid shear stress on expression of proto-oncogenes c-fos and c-myc in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells

The objective of our research was to reveal the effects of different shear stresses on the expression of proto-oncogenes c-fos and c-myc in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). A parallel plate flow chamber was used to control the value and duration of shear stress (SS), and the expression of c-fos and c-myc protein was measured by immunocytochemistry methods and image analysis software. Some important conclusions were drawn. In the stationary state, c-fos protein levels were very low. The SS's of 4 dyn/cm(2) and 10 dyn/cm(2) induced rapid increases of c-fos protein levels, especially the SS of 10 dyn/cm(2). The levels peaked at 1.0 h. Then, c-fos protein levels began to decrease, after 2.5 h, they declined to almost basal levels. In the stationary state, the c-myc protein levels were also very low slowly increasing after the onset of shear stress. The effects of 4 dyn/cm(2) and 10 dyn/cm(2) SS on c-myc protein expression levels had no difference and apparently were less than the effect on c-fos protein levels. The c-myc protein levels peaked at 1.5 h. Subsequently, they fell to basal levels at 2.5 h. Increased expression of these proto-oncogenes mediated by shear stress may have important effects on the regulation of critical cell activities, such as proliferation and differentiation.

Research of fetal ECG extraction using wavelet analysis and adaptive filtering

Extracting clean fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is very important in fetal monitoring. In this paper, we proposed a new method for fetal ECG extraction based on wavelet analysis, the least mean square (LMS) adaptive filtering algorithm, and the spatially selective noise filtration (SSNF) algorithm. First, abdominal signals and thoracic signals were processed by stationary wavelet transform (SWT), and the wavelet coefficients at each scale were obtained. For each scale, the detail coefficients were processed by the LMS algorithm. The coefficient of the abdominal signal was taken as the original input of the LMS adaptive filtering system, and the coefficient of the thoracic signal as the reference input. Then, correlations of the processed wavelet coefficients were computed. The threshold was set and noise components were removed with the SSNF algorithm. Finally, the processed wavelet coefficients were reconstructed by inverse SWT to obtain fetal ECG. Twenty cases of simulated data and 12 cases of clinical data were used. Experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms the LMS algorithm: (1) it shows improvement in case of superposition R-peaks of fetal ECG and maternal ECG; (2) noise disturbance is eliminated by incorporating the SSNF algorithm and the extracted waveform is more stable; and (3) the performance is proven quantitatively by SNR calculation. The results indicated that the proposed algorithm can be used for extracting fetal ECG from abdominal signals.
