Relationship between Psidium species (Myrtaceae) by resistance gene analog markers: focus on nematode resistance
Authors: L.R. Noia, A.C. Tuler, A. Ferreira, M.F.S. Ferreira
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) crop is severely affected by the nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii. Native Psidium species have been reported as sources of resistance against this nematode. Knowledge on the molecular relationship between Psidium species based on plant resistance gene analogs (RGA) can be useful in the genetic breedi.. Read More»

Meta-analysis confirms that a common G/C variant in the pre-miR-146a gene contributes to cancer susceptibility and that ethnicity, gender and smoking status are risk factors
Authors: A.-X. Wang B. Xu N. Tong S.-Q. Chen Y. Yang X.-W. Zhang H. Jiang N. Liu J. Liu X.-N. Hu G.-Z. Sha M. Chen
Evidence has shown that miR-146a is involved in carcinogenesis, and a common G/C variant (rs2910164) in the pre-miR-146a gene has been associated with various types of cancer. We summarized the data from 22 published case-control studies on the association between rs2910164 and cancer risk and performed subgroup analyses by ethnicity, gender and smoking stat.. Read More»

Association between C807T(C/T) polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein gene and sensitivity to ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis
Authors: C. Luo, L.H. Fan, H. Zhang, J. Zhao, L. Li, L. Zhang, H.X. Zhang and M.M. Ma
Ischemic stroke can lead to loss of neurologic functions. It occurs due to obstruction in blood supply to the brain. It has been proposed that C807T(C/T) polymorphism within the platelet glycoprotein gene may be associated with density and function of glycoprotein Ia/IIa receptors and contributes to the pathogenesis of thrombo..

Expression of growth genes in response to glycerol use in Japanese quail diets
Authors: E. Gasparino A.R. Oliveira Neto A.P. Del Vesco A.V. Pires E. Batista D.M. Voltolini K.R.S. Souza
Glycerol can be used as a substitute for corn for feeding poultry, but there are concerns about how it may affect growth performance and health of the birds. We evaluated the expression of mRNA of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in 35-day-old Japanese quails fed different glycerol levels (0, 4, and 8% dietary glycerol instead ..

Morphology and muscle gene expression in GIFT and Supreme Nile tilapia varieties reared in two cultivation systems
Authors: E.C.S. Lima, J.A. Povh, R.A.A. Otonel, J.H. Leonhardt, A.A. Alfieri, S.A. Headley, F.P. Souza, A.R. Poveda-Parra, P.J. Furlan-Murari, N.M. Lopera-Barrer1
Tissue growth in most fishes occurs by muscular hyperplasia and hypertrophy, which are influenced by different regulatory factors, such as myostatin. The current study evaluated the influence of cultivation in hapas and earthen ponds on the diameter of white muscle fibers and on the myostatin (MSTN-1) gene in GIFT and Supreme .. Read More»

Effect of propolis ethanol extract on myostatin gene expression and muscle morphometry of Nile tilapia in net cages
Authors: E.L. Buck, I.Y. Mizubuti, A.A. Alfieri, R.A.A. Otonel, L.Y. Buck,F.P. Souza, O.P. Prado-Calixto, A.R. Poveda-Parra, L. Alexandre Filho, N.M. Lopera-Barrero
Propolis can be used as growth enhancer due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immune-stimulant properties, but its effects on morphometry and muscle gene expression are largely unknown. The present study evaluates the influence of propolis on muscle morphometry and myostatin gene expression in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ni.. Read More»

Role of Th1/Th2 cytokines in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of ankylosing spondylitis
Authors: J.T. Wen, D.H. Zhang, P.F. Fang, M.H. Li, R.J. Wang, S.H. Li
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a progressive disease of the spine, manifests as peripheral arthritis with tendon and ligament inflammation that restricts activity. AS is a rheumatoid autoimmune disease although the rheumatoid factor is absent in patients with AS. It is characterized by inflammatory changes such as elevated level.. Read More»

Authors: J.Y. Li, J.B. Wang, C.B. Liu, D.L. Ma, J.H. Ma
Association of signal-induced proliferation-associated 1 (SIPA) gene and protein expression with gastric cancer development was examined. SIPA1 mRNA and protein levels were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot, respectively, in 40 gastric tumor and tumor-adjacent normal tissues. SIPA1..
