Authors: L.B. Yi, L.Y. Chai, Y. Xie, Q.J. Peng and Q.Z. Peng
The perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)-degrading strain YAB1 was isolated from the soil near a perfluorinated compound production plant through acclimation and enrichment culture, using PFOA as the sole carbon source. This strain was preliminarily identified as Pseudomonas parafulva based on colony morphology, physiological and bio.. Read More»

Authors: X.Y. Liang, X.Q. Zhang, S.Q. Bai, L.K. Huang, X.M. Luo, Y. Ji and L.F. Jiang
Chicory is a crop with economically important roles and is cultivated worldwide. The genetic diversity and relationship of 80 accessions of chicories and endives were evaluated by sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to provide a theoretical basis for future breeding programs in China. The polymorphic rate wa.. Read More»

Network spatio-temporal analysis predicts disease stage-related genes and pathways in renal cell carcinoma
Authors: X.H. Li, C.Z. Yang and J. Wang
The purpose of this study was to screen the key genes and pathways of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and lay the foundation for its diagnosis and therapy. Microarray data of normal subjects and RCC patients at different stages of disease were used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Based on the DEGs in the four disea.. Read More»

Effects of acrylonitrile on lymphocyte lipid rafts and RAS/RAF/MAPK/ERK signaling pathways
Authors: X.J. Li, B. Li, J.S. Huang, J.M. Shi, P. Wang, W. Fan and Y.L. Zhou
Acrylonitrile (ACN) is a widely used chemical in the production of plastics, resins, nitriles, acrylic fibers, and synthetic rubber. Previous epidemiological investigations and animal studies have confirmed that ACN affects the lymphocytes and spleen. However, the immune toxicity mechanism is unknown. Lipid rafts are cell memb..

Screening and characterization of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers from sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota
Authors: J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li, Y.F. Ning, Y.S. Huang, Y. Yuan, J. Lu, B.B. Li and X.Q. Mao
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota has high medicinal value and rich nutritional edible value, and thus is a commercially important aquatic product in China. Microsatellite loci were developed and screened using a fast isolation protocol and amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats. In this study, 16 novel polymorphic m..

Expression of transforming growth factor-�²1 in neonatal rats with hyperoxia-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia and its relationship with lung development
Authors: B. Yan, W. Zhong, Q.M. He, S.Y. Zhang, J.K. Yu and Y.L. Pan
The aim of this study was to detect the expression of transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1) in neonatal rats with hyperoxia-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and to explore its relationship with lung development. Forty-eight rats (2-3 days old) were randomly divided into a hyperoxia group and a control grou.. Read More»

Phenotypic and biochemical profile changes in calendula (Calendula officinalis L.) plants treated with two chemical mutagenesis
Authors: Y.I. El-Nashar and A.A. Asrar
Chemical mutagenesis is an efficient tool used in mutation-breeding programs to improve the vital characters of the floricultural crops. This study aimed to estimate the effects of different concentrations of two chemical mutagens; sodium azide (SA) and diethyl sulfate (DES). The vegetative growth and flowering characteristics..

Apelin polymorphism predicts blood pressure response to losartan in older Chinese women with essential hypertension
Authors: J. Jia, C. Men, K.-T. Tang and Y.-Y. Zhan
We determined whether the blood pressure response to losartan in an older Chinese population with essential hypertension was associated with apelin gene polymorphisms. We genotyped the -1860T>C polymorphism of the apelin gene in a case-control study of 222 patients with hypertension and 250 controls. Following 24 weeks of treatment with losartan (50 mg.. Read More»
