Expression and significance of miR-21 in multiple myeloma patients
Authors: J.H. Wang, W.W. Zhou, B.X. Liu, D.L. Man1, Z.D. Yang, F.R. Liu and H. Shang
The aim of the present study is to examine the expression level of peripheral mir-21 in multiple myeloma (MM) patients and to determine its clinical significance. MM patients (30), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) patients (14), and normal controls (20) were recruited to determine the serum level of β2-MG, IgA and IgM, IgG, &..

CAMK4 gene variation is associated with hypertension in a Uygur population
Authors: S.Z. Chen1,2, Z. Wang1,2, L.N. Zhang1, G.L. Lu2, C.M. Zhou1, D.W. Wang1,Z.M. Tang3, L. Wang2, L. Qin2 and Z.H. Zhai2
Considering that calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase 4 (CAMK4) plays a pivotal role in blood pressure regulation, we investigated the association between a CAMK4 polymorphism (rs10491334) and hypertension in the Han, Kazak, and Uygur ethnic groups. We studied 1224 patients with hypertension and 967 normotensive controls classified into three ethnic groups.. Read More»

Association of IL-18 polymorphisms with rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis
Authors: L.L. Li1, X.F. Deng2, J.P. Li3, N. Ning1, X.L. Hou1 and J.L. Chen1
Interleukin-18 (IL-18), an important proinflammatory cytokine, has been reported to play a potential pathological role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Results from previous studies on the association between IL-18 polymorphisms and RA are conflicting. To clarify this, an updated meta-analysis of all available studies on IL-18 polymorphisms and RA was conduc.. Read More»

Analysis of the genetic diversity of super sweet corn inbred lines using SSR and SSAP markers
Authors: W.R. Ko1*, K.J. Sa1*, N.S. Roy3, H.-J. Choi2 and J.K. Lee1
In this study, we compared the efficiency of simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence specific amplified polymorphism (SSAP) markers for analyzing genetic diversity, genetic relationships, and population structure of 87 super sweet corn inbred lines from different origins. SSR markers showed higher average gene diversity and Shannon’s information i.. Read More»

Cloning and expression analysis of cysteine protease gene (MwCP) in Agropyron mongolicum Keng
Authors: T.G.B.Y. Ao1,3, M.L. Lang2, Y.Q. Li3, Y. Zhao1, L.C. Wang1 and X.J. Yang1,2,4
In this study, a cysteine protease gene (MwCP) from Agropyron mongolicum Keng was isolated using RACE. Sequence analysis indicated that MwCP was 1473 bp, and it contained a 1134-bp open reading frame, which encoded 377 amino acids with a 24-amino acid N-terminal signal peptide. The results indicated that the MwCP protein was a new member of the papain C1A.. Read More»

Structural chromosomal abnormalities in couples in cases of recurrent spontaneous abortions in Jilin Province, China
Authors: H.-T. Fan, M. Zhang, P. Zhan, X. Yang, W.-J. Tian and R.-W. Li
Recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSAs) occur in approximately 15 to 20% of all clinically recognizable pregnancies. Structural chromosome abnormalities result in increased risk of pregnancy loss. Parental chromosomal abnormalities are an important genetic cause of RSAs. Some cytogenetic investigations have been performed in various countries and regions t.. Read More»

Comparative petiole anatomy of cassava (Manihot) species
Authors: D. Graciano-Ribeiro1,3, D.Y. Hashimoto-Freitas2 and N.M.A. Nassar3
In this study, we describe the petiole anatomy of six wild cassava (Manihot) species, one hybrid, and two cultivars of Manihot esculenta, in order to identify their dominant anatomical patterns and relate them to possible adaptations to abiotic factors in the Cerrado biome. The median parts of several petiole samples were transversally and longitudinally .. Read More»
