KIF3A regulates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway via transporting β-catenin during spermatogenesis in Eriocheir sinensis
Abstract The Wnt/β-catenin pathway participates in many important physiological events such as cell proliferation and differentiation in the male reproductive system. We found that Kinesin-2 motor KIF3A is highly expressed during spermatogenesis in Eriocheir sinensis; it may potentially promote the intracellular transport of cargoes in this process. However, only a few studies have focused on the relationship between KIF3A and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in the male reproductive...

Semifield Evaluation of Improved Passive Outdoor Host Seeking Device (POHD) for Outdoor Control of Anopheles arabiensis Mosquitoes
Despite the considerable progress made so far, the effectiveness and mass application of odour-baited outdoor mosquito control devices in pipelines is limited by several factors. These include the design and size of the devices, optimal placement of attractive blends, and nature of materials into which the blends are impregnated. The primary aim of this study was to manipulate these factors to improve the attractiveness of our recently developed passive outdoor host seeking device (POHD) to outdoor...

Association of SLCO1B1 c.521T>C (rs4149056) with discontinuation of atorvastatin due to statin-associated muscle symptoms
The most common adverse drug reaction from statins are statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), characterized by myopathy (weakness), myalgia (muscle pain), and commonly elevation in serum creatine kinase. All statins are substrates of the organic anion transporter 1B1 (OATP1B1; gene: SLCO1B1), albeit to different degrees. A genetic polymorphism in SLCO1B1, c.521T>C (rs4149056), markedly decreases OATP1B1 function. The literature is currently unclear as to whether SLCO1B1 c.521T>C is significantly...

Abacavir adverse reactions related with HLA-B*57: 01 haplotype in a large cohort of patients infected with HIV
Objective Carriage of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*57:01 allele increases the risk of abacavir hypersensitivity reaction. Therefore, since 2008 HIV treatment guidelines recommend HLA-B*57:01 screening before abacavir administration, greatly reducing hypersensitivity reaction rate. However, clinically suspected abacavir-related hypersensitivity reactions are described in allele non-carriers. Major aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between HLA-B*57:01 pattern and abacavir-related...
