These genes encode polytopic membrane proteins that feature an MtN3/saliva domain, also known as a PQ loop repeat, The rice MtN3/saliva/SWEET gene family consists of 21 members and is among the largest families in sequenced organisms. Accumulating data suggest that these genes are involved in multiple physiological processes, including reproductive development, senescence, environmental adaptation, and host-pathogen interaction, in different species. In rice, some members of the family, including Xa13/Os8N3/OsSWEET11, which is essential for reproductive development, are used by the pathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae to invade its host. Emerging data have also revealed that at least some MtN3/saliva/SWEET-type proteins may regulate different physiological processes by facilitating ion transport via interaction with ion transporters or as sugar transporters. The accumulating knowledge about MtN3/saliva/SWEET- type genes will help to elucidate the molecular bases of their function in different organisms.展开更多

Methods: Fifty-seven NT-CS patients were randomly divided into WCT group and Jiaji acupoint-acupuncture(JA) group according a random number table. WCT group(30 cases) was treated with WCT for 10 min, and JA group(27 cases) was treated with acupuncture for 10 min. The treatment efficacies were evaluated with a Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). Blood perfusion at Dazhui(GV 14) and Jianjing(GB 21) acupoints(affected side) was observed with a laser speckle flowmetry, and its variations before and after treatment in both groups were compared as well. Results: In both groups, the VAS scores significantly decreased after the intervention(P〈0.01), while the blood perfusion at the two acupoints significantly increased after intervention(P〈0.05); however, the increasement magnitude caused by WCT was obvious compared with JA(P〈0.05). Conclusion: WCT could improve analgesic effects in patients with NT-CS, which might be related to increasing local blood perfusion of acupunct points.展开更多
