[One-stage posterior approach spinal reconstruction for severe lumbar burst fracture].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical therapeutic outcomes for severe burst fracture of lumbar vertebrae via a posterior approach for one-stage spinal "three-column" reconstruction.

Methods: An retrospective analysis of data was performed for 21 patients with severe burst fracture of lumbar vertebrae undergoing a posterior approach for one-stage spinal "three-column" reconstruction from 2005 to 2010. It was compared with previous 15 cases undergoing a staged anteroposterior approach.

EcoBrowser: a web-based tool for visualizing transcriptome data of Escherichia coli.

Background: Escherichia coli has been extensively studied as a prokaryotic model organism whose whole genome was determined in 1997. However, it is difficult to identify all the gene products involved in diverse functions by using whole genome sequencesalone. The high-resolution transcriptome mapping using tiling arrays has proved effective to improve the annotation of transcript units and discover new transcripts of ncRNAs.

Large scale phosphoproteome profiles comprehensive features of mouse embryonic stem cells.

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and capable of unlimited self-renewal. Elucidation of the underlying molecular mechanism may contribute to the advancement of cell-based regenerative medicine. In the present work, we performed a large scale analysis of the phosphoproteome in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells.
