GINKGOLIDE B MAINTAINS CALCIUM HOMEOSTASIS IN HYPOXIC HIPPOCAMPAL NEURONS BY INHIBITING CALCIUM INFLUX AND INTRACELLULAR CALCIUM RELEASE

Ginkgolide B Maintains Calcium Homeostasis in Hypoxic Hippocampal Neurons by Inhibiting Calcium Influx and Intracellular Calcium Release

Ginkgolide B (GB), a terpene lactone and active ingredient of Ginkgo biloba, shows protective effects in neuronal cells subjected to hypoxia.We investigated whether GB might protect neurons from hypoxic injury through regulation of neuronal Ca2+ homeostasis.Primary hippocampal neurons subjected to chemical hypoxia (0.7 mM CoCl2) in vitro exhibited

Transcriptome analysis of the endangered Notopterygium incisum: Cold-tolerance gene discovery and identification of EST-SSR and SNP markers

Notopterygium incisum C.C.Ting ex H.T.Chang (Apiaceae) is an endangered perennial herb in China.The lack of transcriptomic and genomic resources for N.incisum greatly hinders studies of its population genetics and conservation.In this study, we employed RNA-seq technology to characterize transcriptomes for the flowers, leaves, and stems of this end

Improving the appropriateness of antipsychotic prescribing in nursing homes: a mixed-methods process evaluation of an academic detailing intervention

Abstract Background In 2014, nursing home administration and government officials were facing increasing public and media scrutiny around the variation of antipsychotic medication (APM) prescribing across Ontario nursing homes.In response, policy makers partnered to test an academic detailing (AD) intervention to address appropriate prescribing of
