Authors: H.Y. Gao, E.X. Tao, Y. Wang, Q.A. Yue, C.E. Ren and L.F. Yan
We studied the immunomodulatory and clinical effects of the empirical formula “tiaomian III decoction” on maternal blood blocking antibody deficiency and recurrent spontaneous abortion. Sixty-one patients with blocking antibody deficiency were divided in the experimental group (N = 31), who took tiaomian III decoction, and the control group (N.. Read More»

Protective effect of proanthocyanidin against oxidative ovarian damage induced by 3-nitropropionic acid in mice
Authors: J.Q. Zhang, B.S. Xing, C.C. Zhu, M. Shen, F.X. Yu and H.L. Liu
Oxidative stress, which poses a threat to reproductive health, causes many serious female reproductive diseases. In this study, we investigated whether proanthocyanidins (PC) have a protective effect against oxidative stress-induced ovarian damage. Forty female ICR mice were randomized into 4 groups: a control group, a control plus PC group, a 3-nitroprop.. Read More»

Allelic database and accession divergence of a Brazilian mango collection based on microsatellite markers
Authors: I.C.N. dos Santos Ribeiro F.P. Lima Neto C.A.F. Santos
Allelic patterns and genetic distances were examined in a collection of 103 foreign and Brazilian mango (Mangifera indica) accessions in order to develop a reference database to support cultivar protection and breeding programs. An UPGMA dendrogram was generated using Jaccardâ??s coefficients from a distance matrix based on 50 alleles of 12 microsatellite.. Read More»

Genetic progress in homogeneous regions of wheat cultivation in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil
Authors: D.N. Follmann, A. Cargnelutti Filho, A.D. L?ºcio, V.Q. de Souza, M. Caraffa, C.A. Wartha
The State of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) stands out as the largest wheat producer in Brazil. Wheat is the most emphasized winter cereal in RS, attracting public and private investments directed to wheat genetic breeding. The study of genetic progress should be performed routinely at breeding programs to study the behavior of cultiv.. Read More»

Association between polymorphism of ?²3-adrenoceptor gene and overactive bladder: a meta-analysis
Authors: H.C. Qu, W. Zhang, Y.L. Liu and P. Wang
Genetic variations in the human β3-adrenoceptor (β3-AR) gene are known to be involved in insufficient relaxation of the bladder muscle during urine storage. The Trp64Arg polymorphism in the β3-AR gene has been found to be an important regulator of the development of overactive bladder (OAB). However, the association between this polymorphis.. Read More»

Influence of plasma exchange on transplantation related immune function in patients with liver failure
Authors: Y.M. Huo, C.C. Zhu, T.F. Lu and R. Hua
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of plasma exchange (PE) treatment of patients with liver failure on the patient’s immune function, including peripheral blood T lymphocytes and cytokines. Patients accepting PE for liver failure from October 2011 to February 2012 were included prospectively in the research group. Peripheral blood samples we.. Read More»

Myocardial protective effects of Munziq in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury rats with abnormal savda syndrome
Authors: M. Abudunaibi, A. Mulati, S. Aisikaer, M. Zulifeiya, J. Qiao, M. Gulibositan, A. Aili and U. Halmurat
This study evaluated the influence and mechanism of different Munziq doses on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) rats with abnormal savda. Wistar rats (N = 96) were divided into the following 8 groups (12 rats each): ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model group, high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose Munziq groups, normal I/R group, sham model group, n..

Genetic diversity and molecular characterization of several Heliconia species in Colombia
Authors: L. Isaza M.L. Marulanda A.M. L?³pez
Researchers have classified the Heliconia genus as a group of highly variable and diverse plants. Species and cultivars are visually differentiated primarily on the basis of the color and size of inflorescence bracts. At taxonomic level, flower type (parabolic, sigmoid, or erect) and size are taken into account. The vast morphological diversity of helicon.. Read More»

Sexual genetic and simple sequence repeat (SSR) analysis for molecular marker development on the all hermaphrodite papaya
Authors: C.T. Chiu, C.W. Wang, F.C. Chen, S.W. Chin, C.C. Liu, M.J. Lee, W.C. Chung, Y.W. Chien, H.J. Chang and C.Y. Lee
The papaya (Carica papaya L.) is one of the most important economic tropical fruits in the world, and the hermaphrodite is the preferred type in field cultures. We analyzed the sexual ratio of offspring from the cultivar ‘Taiwan Seed Station No. 7’ (T7) by a self-cross and its cross with Taichung Sunrise (TS). Female progeny from the T7 self-c.. Read More»

Authors: A. Teleginski, M. Welter, H.R. Frigeri, R.R. R?©a, E.M. Souza, D. Alberton, F.G.M. Rego, G. Picheth
Leptin (LEP), a protein that plays a fundamental role in the metabolism of energy reserves, and the solute carrier family 30 A8 zinc transporter (SLC30A8) have been consistently associated with diabetes. Women with gestational diabetes are at moderate risk of developing diabetes type 1 and 2 after pregnancy, in addition to com.. Read More»
