Back fat thickness and meat tenderness are associated with a 526 T�A mutation in the exon 1 promoter region of the MyF-5 gene in Chinese Bos taurus
Authors: J.A. Ujan, L.S. Zan, S.A. Ujan, C. Adoligbe and H.B. Wang
Qualitative trait loci (QTL) for growth and meat quality traits in cattle (Bos taurus) have been previously mapped to three chromosome regions, 0 to 30, 55 to 70, and 70 to 80 cM on chromosome 5. We evaluated the allele frequencies and gene-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of bovine myogenic factor 5 (MyF-5) in .. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers for Hoplias malabaricus (Erythrinidae)
Authors: S.G.C.A. Gondim, L.V. Resende, R.P.V. Brondani, R.G. Collevatti, N.J. Silva-J�ºnior, R.R. Pereira and M.P.C. Telles
We identified 14 microsatellite loci for the wolf fish, Hoplias malabaricus (Erythrinidae), from a genomic shotgun library. Twenty-five primers were designed, and 48 individuals of H. malabaricus from four localities of northwest Goiás, in central Brazil, were genotyped to characterize the polymorphism at each locus. Fo..

Cross-leg repair of large soft-tissue defects in distal sites of the feet by distally based neuro-fasciocutaneous flaps with perforating vessels
Authors: Z.Q. Wang, Y.L. Cao, Y.F. Huang, D.Q. Liu and X.F. Li
The objective of this study was to introduce a method for repairing large soft-tissue defects on the foot. Distally based neuro-fasciocutaneous flaps with perforating vessels were designed along the saphenous and sural neurovascular axes. The cutaneous perforating branches of the major arteries of the lower extremities were us.. Read More»

Identification of critical TF-miRNA-mRNA regulation loops for colorectal cancer metastasis
Authors: C. Wang D.Z. Hu and J.Z. Liu
To explore the potential cause of colorectal cancer metastasis, gene expression profiles, GSE21510, and miRNA expression profiles, GSE48074, were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes in metastatic colorectal and non metastatic colorectal cancer compared with the normal samples were identified via the limma p.. Read More»

Anastomosis groups and molecular variation in Pseudocercospora griseola
Authors: K.J. Damasceno-Silva, E.A. Souza, C.N.S. Freire and F.H. Ishikawa
The fungus Pseudocercospora griseola is the causal agent of angular leaf spot, a common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) disease. The successful development of angular leaf spot-resistant cultivars depends on understanding the levels of variability in pathogen populations. P. griseola shows great pathogenic and genetic variation using inoculation on different.. Read More»

Assessment of microsatellites in estimating inter- and intraspecific variation among Neotropical Crocodylus species
Authors: A. Bashyal, B.A. Gross, M. Venegas-Anaya, F. Lowrance and L.D. Densmore III
We tested microsatellites that were developed for the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) for cross-species amplification and to provide an estimate of inter- and intraspecific variation among four species of Neotropical crocodiles (C. rhombifer, C. intermedius, C. acutus, and C. mo..

MicroRNAs as novel biomarkers for the differentiation of malignant versus benign thyroid lesions: a meta-analysis
Authors: G.J. Zhou, M. Xiao, L.N. Zhao, J.G. Tang and L. Zhang
The aim of this meta-analysis was to systematically evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of microRNAs (miRNAs) in distinguishing malignant thyroid lesions from benign ones and to determine the potential of miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for thyroid cancer. The random-effect model was used to summarize the pooled estimates of diagnostic accuracy, including se.. Read More»

Potential of hypocotyl diameter in family selection aiming at plant architecture improvement of common bean
Authors: A.M.C. Oliveira, R.O. Batista, P.C.S. Carneiro, J.E.S. Carneiro and C.D. Cruz
Cultivars of common bean with more erect plant architecture and greater tolerance to degree of lodging are required by producers. Thus, to evaluate the potential of hypocotyl diameter (HD) in family selection for plant architecture improvement of common bean, the HDs of 32 F2 plants were measured in 3 distinct populations, and the characteristics related ..

Ebp1 protein expression in cervical cancer tissue and its significance
Authors: L. Liu, D.Y. Xu, S.S. Yang and X.D. Li
The objectives of this study were to observe the changes in expression of ErbB-3 binding protein (Ebp1) in cervical cancer and to investigate their clinic significance. We detected the expression level of Ebp1 in cancerous and adjacent tissues from 56 patients with cervical cancer. We identified 21 Ebp1 positive samples (37.5%) from among the 56 cervical ..

Authors: S.-Y. Guo*, Y.-J. Ding, L. Li, T. Zhang, Z.-Z. Zhang and E.-S. Zhang
In this study, we observed changes in CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Treg expression in rats with osteoarthritis (OA) to explore the role that CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Treg plays in the decline in the condition of OA rats. Thirty rats were randomly divided into 2 groups equally and OA was induced in rats in the model group by injection of papain and l-cysteine into the right.. Read More»
