Authors: D. Li, J. Li, L. Wang and Q. Zhang
We assessed the possible correlation between genetic polymorphisms in interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-8, and IL-10 and risk of acute pancreatitis. Polymorphisms of IL-1β +3954C/T (rs1143634), IL-1β -511C/T (rs16944), IL-8 -251T/A (rs4073), IL-10 -1082A/G (rs1800896), and IL-10 -819C/T (rs1800871) were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restricti..

Identification of a novel human testicular interstitial gene, RNF148, and its expression regulated by histone deacetylases
Authors: Y.Q. Liu, D.C. Tao, S.Y. Liao, Y. Yang, Y.X. Ma and S.Z. Zhang
Multiple genes are restrictively expressed in mammalian testicular tissues, and they play important roles in the complex process of spermatogenesis. Investigation of these genes and their expression regulation mechanisms is valuable to elucidate the molecular process of spermatogenesis. In this study, we identified a novel human gene, ring finger protein .. Read More»

Effect of morphine preconditioning in the delayed phase on the expression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in a rabbit model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury
Authors: K. Ran, Z.X. Gong, D.L. Yang, Y.T. Chang, K.M. Duan and Y.W. Ou
This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of delayed morphine preconditioning on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. We randomly divided 30 rabbits into three groups with 10 rabbits in each group as follows: sham operation group (C group), ischemia-reperfusion group (I/R group), and morphine pretreatment group (M group). Rabbits in C Grou.. Read More»

Population structure and demographic history of Sicyopterus japonicus (Perciformes; Gobiidae) in Taiwan inferred from mitochondrial control region sequences
Authors: Y.M. Ju, C.H. Hsu, L.S. Fang, H.D. Lin, J.H. Wu, C.C. Han, I.-S. Chen and T.Y. Chiang
The amphidromous goby Sicyopterus japonicus is distributed throughout southern Taiwan and Japan. Larvae of this freshwater fish go through a long marine stage. This migratory mode influences population genetic structure. We examined the genetic diversity, population differentiation, and demographic history of S. japonicus based on the mitochondrial DNA co..

Effects of goal-directed fluid therapy with different lactated Ringer�s: hydroxyethyl starch ratios in hemorrhagic shock dogs
Authors: J.P. Tao, Q.Q. Huang, H.Q. Huang, J.J. Yang, M. Shi, Y. Zhou, L.J. Wan, C. Zhou, Y.J. Ou, Y.Y. Tong, D.G. Yang and Y.Y. Si
The effects of goal-directed fluid therapy, with lactated Ringer’s (LR) and 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solution, on hemorrhagic shock dogs are unknown. We aimed to determine the optimal LR: HES ratio for the resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock dogs. Hemorrhagic shock was induced in 40 ventilated dogs by drawing an estimated 60% blood volume. The an..

Comparison of factor-analytic and reduced rank models for test-day milk yield in Gyr dairy cattle (Bos indicus)
Authors: R.J. Pereira, D.R. Ayres, L. El Faro, R.S. Verneque, A.E. Vercesi Filho and L.G. Albuquerque
We analyzed 46,161 monthly test-day records of milk production from 7453 first lactations of crossbred dairy Gyr (Bos indicus) x Holstein cows. The following seven models were compared: standard multivariate model (M10), three reduced rank models fitting the first 2, 3, or 4 genetic principal components, and three models considering a 2-, 3-, or 4-factor ..

Non-invasive determination of the immune physiological state of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in the Greater Khingan Mountains, China
Authors: Y.J. Yin, C.Y. Nie, W.S. Liu, Q. Zou, J.C. Zhai, H.S. Han and H.P. Li
Immunoglobulin and cortisol levels are good indicators of well-being and living status in animals. In this study, the concentrations of fecal immunoglobulins A ([IgAF ]), G ([IgGF ]), and M ([IgMF ]), and cortisol ([cortisolF ]) were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in reindeer of the Greater Khingan Mountains of Inner Mongolia, China.

Unicentric Castleman disease located in the anterior mediastinum misdiagnosed as invasive thymoma: a case report
Authors: Y. Liu, D.Y. Xie, X.M. Lin and C. Chi
Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology. The localized form, which usually presents as a slow-growing mass, is most commonly located in the mediastinum. Invasion of the vena anonyma by a mass has rarely been reported. We herein describe a case of initially misdiagnosed invasive thymoma in a 72-year-old woman, but posto.. Read More»

Authors: Y. Yuan,Z.B. Li1, Y.F. Ning, H.W. Deng, J.B. Shangguan, Y.S. Huang and G. Dai
Thirteen new polymorphic microsatellite markers in Fenneropenaeus penicillatus were isolated and characterized. The polymorphism of the thirteen microsatellite markers was tested by 30 individuals from Lianjiang, China. It showed that the number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 6 and the Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) was from 0.324 to 0.706... Read More»
