Three-dimensional ultrasound speckle tracking imaging was used to evaluate the effects of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) in acute anterior and extensive anterior myocardial infarction. Ninety patients with acute anterior or extensive myocardial infarction were randomly divided into 3 groups: Group A [emergency percutaneous coronary in.. Read More»

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of a single gene and composite genotype of the casein gene family, including the beta-lactoglobulin gene (beta-LGB), acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 gene (DGAT1), growth hormone gene (GH), and luteinizing hormone receptor gene (LHR) on milk yield, milk composition, the percentage of fat..

We determined expression and localization of the anti-apoptotic cellular FLICE inhibitory protein (cFLIP) in the porcine corpora lutea (CL) and corpus albicans (CA) during estrous and pregnancy. The CL and CA were collected at different stages of estrous to determine cFLIP immunolocalization, and mRNA and protein expression. The mRNA expression of the sho.. Read More»

Dendrobium officinale is an endangered orchid from southeast Asia that is known for its medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine. We constructed an integrated genetic linkage map of an F1 population derived from an interspecific cross between D. officinale and D. aduncum (both, 2n = 38), using expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeats (ES..

We isolated two TATA-binding protein-associated factor (TAF) genes, TAF10 and TAF13, from pepper (Capsicum annuum). The complete coding sequences were amplified using reverse transcriptase-PCR on the basis of conserved sequence information of eggplant and several other plant species. Nucleotide sequence analysis of these two genes revealed that the pepper.. Read More»

The pen shell, Atrina pectinata, is an economically valuable species that is widely distributed along the coastal waters of temperate and tropical areas, mainly growing in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Eight novel microsatellite loci from the genome of A. pectinata were developed using fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequence .. Read More»

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based genome-wide association studies have revealed that polymorphisms of the ORM1-like 3 (ORMDL3) gene are associated with childhood asthma. We investigated genetic associations of SNPs in and around the ORMDL3 gene with childhood asthma in a Chinese population. Genomic DNA was extracted f.. Read More»

Neurofibromatosis type I is an autosomal dominant disease with complete penetrance and variable age-dependent expressivity. It is caused by heterozygous mutations in neurofibromin 1 (NF1). These occur throughout the length of the gene, with no apparenthotspots. Even though some mutations have been found repeatedly, most have been observed only once. This,.. Read More»

In this study, we examined the treatment and mechanism of BMMSC on a deep II degree scald of the hamster skin. A deep II degree scald model on the skin of 40 hamsters was duplicated and divided randomly into a stem cell plantation group (group A) and model control group (group B). Skin cells were cultured in vitro until the allogeneic BMMSCs of the 5th ge.. Read More»
