Promoter analysis of bovine cardiomyopathy-associated protein 1 gene
Authors: G.N. Sui, Z.W. Liu, T. Wang, X. Li, X.B. Ding, X.F. Liu and H. Guo
The CMYA1 (cardiomyopathy-associated protein 1) is an actin-binding protein that plays a vital role in cardiac morphogenesis. CMYA1 is expressed specifically in the myocardial and skeletal muscle and is up-regulated in injured muscle. We therefore speculated that the bovine CMYA1 promoter might be muscle-specific. In this stud.. Read More»

Effect of GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 IIe105Val polymorphisms on susceptiblity to gestational diabetes mellitus
Authors: Y.H. Qiu, Y.L. Xu and W.H. Zhang
We investigate the role of the GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 IIe105Val genetic polymorphisms in the susceptibility to gestational diabetes mellitus. A total of 223 pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and 265 healthy pregnant women were examined at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine.. Read More»

Selfing rate estimation in sugarcane under unfavorable natural conditions of crossing by using microsatellite markers
Authors: M.L.G. Melloni , M.S. Scarpari, L.R. Pinto, D. Perecin, M.A. Xavier and M.G.A. Landell
The self-fertilization or selfing rate estimation using microsatellite markers and its impact on survival and selection rate were evaluated in families derived from polycrosses that involved parents that were widely used in sugarcane breeding in Brazil. These factors were evaluated under unfavorable natural conditions of flowe.. Read More»

Effects of p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid, arabinogalactan, and activated charcoal on microspore embryogenesis in kale
Authors: R.Q. Niu,Y. Zhang,Y. Tong,Z.Y. Liu,Y.H. Wang and H. Feng
To improve embryogenesis in microspore cultures of kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala DC.), 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), arabinogalactan (AG), p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (PCIB), and activated charcoal (AC) were added to the medium using four varieties of kale. The results showed that the addition of AG (0.1-0.2 g/L),.. Read More»

Mild hypothermia attenuates post-resuscitation brain injury through a V-ATPase mechanism in a rat model of cardiac arrest
Authors: J.C. Zhang, W. Lu, X.M. Xie, H. Pan, Z.Q. Wu and G.T. Yang
Although therapeutic hypothermia is an effective treatment for post-resuscitation brain injury after cardiac arrest (CA), the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) plays a key role in cellular adaption to a hypoxic environment. This study sought to evaluate the effect of mild hypothermia on V-ATPa.. Read More»

Selected representative microsatellite loci for genetic monitoring and population structure analysis of miniature swine
Authors: C. Wang,L.L. Xu,Y.H. Wu,X.Y. Du,X.Y. Huo,J. Gao,Z.K. Li,Y.C. Li and Z.W. Chen
To optimize the combination of microsatellite loci for genetic control of outbred swine stocks, 32 of 100 loci distributed among almost all chromosomes (except 12) were screened out by 1.5% agarose, 8% polyacrylamide gel and capillary electrophoresis scanning among 3 miniature swine outbred stocks, namely Bama (BM), Guizhou (GZ) and Tibeta (TB). The mean .. Read More»

Authors: M.F. Gan, H.L. Yang, J.L. Qian, C.S. Wu, C.X. Yuan, X.F. Li and J. Zou
RNA extraction from the nucleus pulposus of intervertebral discs has been extensively used in orthopedic studies. We compared two methods for extracting RNA from the nucleus pulposus: liquid nitrogen grinding and enzyme digestion. The RNA was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the purity was evaluated by absorbance r.. Read More»

An SduI polymorphism at intron 20 of the Chinese Holstein cow STAT4 gene and its effect on milk performance traits
Authors: X.M. Song, L. Zhang, J.F. Jiang, F.X. Shi and Y.Q. Jiang
The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) genes are responsive to a wide range of cytokines, growth factors, and hormones, and thus control important biological processes. In humans, STAT4 mutations have been identified as genetic markers for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and primary Sjögren’s syndrome, w.. Read More»
