Rice is an important food crop, whose quality and yield may be affected by environmental stresses. MicroRNAs play an important role in response to stresses, which regulate gene expression at the post-transcription level by cleaving target mRNAs and inhibiting mRNA translation. This paper summarized the mechanism of action of miRNAs and introduced research progress of miRNAs in rice under biotic and abiotic stresses, which provided reference for revealing the functional role of rice miRNAs in stress resistance.展开更多

It has various clinical symptoms proceding to the diagnosis of tumors. Although the abnormality of anti-neuronal antibodies is suggestive of PNS and tumors, there exist many false positive and false negative cases. The diagnosis of PNS is usually a challenge in clinic. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PET/CT) imaging is an anatomical and functional fusion imaging method, which provides the whole-body information by single scan. Fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG) PET/CT imaging can not only detect potential malignant lesions in the whole body, but also assess functional abnormality in the brain. In this review, the mechanism, clinical manifestation, diagnostic procedure and the recent progress of the utility of FDG PET/CT in PNS are introduced respectively.展开更多
