Polymorphisms of AluI and Hin1I loci of the IGF-1R gene and their genetic effects on growth traits in Bian chickens
Authors: P.F. Wu, D. Wang, C.F. Jin, X.Q. Zhang, H.Q. Wu, L. Zhang, F.X. Ding, K. Z. Xie and G.X. Zhang
Growth traits are important economic traits in broiler chicken production. AluI and Hin1I loci are two restriction sites, which are respectively located in exons 2 and 3 of the IGF-1R gene. These two loci are significantly related to the growth traits in Jinghai Yellow chickens. In this study, a correlation analysis was perfor.. Read More»

Protection against Taenia pisiformis larval infection induced by a recombinant oncosphere antigen vaccine
Authors: L. Chen, D.Y. Yang, Y. Xie , X. Nong, X. Huang , Y. Fu, X.B. Gu, S.X. Wang, X.R. Peng and G.Y. Yang
Taenia pisiformis larvae cause significant health problems to rabbits. At present, it is not known whether the recombinant antigen from the T. pisiformis oncosphere is able to confer protective immunity against T. pisiformis larval infection. The full-length cDNA was cloned into a pET32a (+) vector, .. Read More»

Genotype x environment interaction on experimental hybrids of chili pepper
Authors: N.S.S. Cabral, A.M. Medeiros, L.G. Neves, C.P. Sudr�©, S. Pimenta, V.J. Coelho, M.E. Serafim and R. Rodrigues
In Brazil, cultivation of hybrid plants comprise near 40% of the area grown with vegetables. For Capsicum, hybrids of bell and chili peppers have already exceeded 50% and over 25% of all are commercialized seeds. This study aimed to evaluate new pepper hybrids in two environments, Cáceres, MT, and Campos dos Goytacazes,.. Read More»

Study of different structures of additive genetic groups to increase the efficiency of genetic selection in beef cattle
Authors: G.A. Oliveira Junior
The structure of genetic groups is a technique that allows animals with unknown paternity to be included in genetic evaluation programs. The ways these groups are formed are still arbitrary, making it important to study different formation strategies for genetic groups, aiming for a suitable framework for the genetic evaluatio..

Genetic variability of Brazilian Indian landraces of Arachis hypogaea L.
Authors: F.O. Freitas, M.C. Moretzsohn, J.F.M. Valls
The Kayabi Indians who inhabit the Xingu Indigenous Park, located in West Central Brazil, have grown and managed peanuts for a long time. A great number of landraces are being maintained by these tribes and some of this germplasm has morphological traits that exceed the variation described in the taxonomic literature. Here, we..

Acute heat stress and dietary methionine effects on IGF-I, GHR, and UCP mRNA expression in liver and muscle of quails
Authors: A.P. Del Vesco, E. Gasparino, V. Zancanela, D.O. Grieser, S.E.F. Guimar�£es, C.S. Nascimento, D.M. Voltolini, J. Constantin and F.S. Gasparin
This study evaluated the expression of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), growth hormone receptor (GHR), and uncoupling protein (UCP) mRNA in muscle and liver of quails that were in thermal comfort or exposed to heat stress and that were fed diets with or without methionine supplementation. Meat quails were fed a diet that .. Read More»

Correlation of E6 and E7 levels in high-risk HPV16 type cervical lesions with CCL20 and Langerhans cells
Authors: B. Jiang and M. Xue
The human papillomavirus (HPV)16 E6 and E7 correlation with chemokine ligand (CCL)20 expression and Langerhans cells (LCs) in cervical lesions was investigated. We enrolled 43 patients with surgically treated cervical lesions from the Department of Gynecology in our hospital, and 20 controls without cervical lesions. Subjects were divided by pathology: HP..

BCR-ABL1 transcript types showed distinct laboratory characteristics in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia
Authors: A.P. Vasconcelos, I.F. Azevedo, F.C.B.C. Melo, W.B. Neves, A.C.A.C. Azevedo and R.A.M. Melo
In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) two main types of messenger RNA (e14a2 and e13a2) can be produced by BCR-ABL1 gene rearrangement. Due to conflicting results, the clinical value of these transcripts remains controversial. The aim of this study was to identify associations of e14a2 and e13a2 transcripts with laboratory variabl..

Tissue- and breed-specific expression of the chicken fat mass- and obesity-associated gene (FTO)
Authors: C. Song, W.T. Song, J.T. Shu, Z.Y. Tao, W.Q. Zhu, C. Di and H.F. Li
The fat mass- and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is involved in energy metabolism, but little is known about the chicken FTO gene. The objective of the current study was to detect chicken FTO expression patterns in the hypothalamus, liver, and skeletal muscle during development, and analyze the effects of age and breed on FTO expression. Real-time quantita.. Read More»

Association between angiogenic growth factor genetic polymorphisms and the risk of osteosarcoma
Authors: H.F. Zhang, J.P. Yan, Y.S. Zhuang and G.Q. Han
The aim of this study was to assess the role of the VEGF -2578C/A, +936C/T, and -460T/C gene polymorphisms in the development of osteosarcoma. A total of 182 patients with osteosarcoma and 182 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled into our study during January 2011 and December 2013. Genotype frequencies of the VEGF -2578C/A and -460T/C a.. Read More»
