Meta-analysis of correlation between the CYP1A2 -3860 G > A polymorphism and lung cancer risk
Authors: J. Ren, B.Z. He, T.S. Zhang, S.P. Lu and T. Yan
The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the association between a polymorphism (-3860 G > A) in the cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) gene and lung cancer susceptibility. Relevant studies were retrieved from the PubMed and EMBase databases, and additionally evaluated for conformance with the inclusion criteria. The odds rati.. Read More»

Impact of early enteral and parenteral nutrition on prealbumin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein after gastric surgery
Authors: B. Li, H.-Y. Liu, S.-H. Guo, P. Sun, F.-M. Gong and B.-Q. Jia
We investigated the impact of early enteral nutrition (EEN) and parenteral nutrition (PN) on prealbumin (PA) and highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients after gastric cancer surgery. Sixty-eight selected patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery were randomly divided into the EEN (N = 34) and PN (N = 34) groups. Body weight (BW), serum al.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers of the eastern keelback mullet (Liza affinis)
Authors: L. Liu, T.X. Gao, Z.Q. Han, C.H. Li, D.R. Sun and N. Song
Twenty-four polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for Liza affinis using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 9, with a mean number of 6.250. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.417 to 1.000 and from 0.550 to 0.861, with an average of..

Impact of early postoperative enteral nutrition on clinical outcomes in patients with gastric cancer
Authors: B. Li, H.Y. Liu, S.H. Guo, P. Sun, F.M. Gong and B.Q. Jia
The impact of early enteral nutrition (EEN) on clinical outcomes of gastric cancer patients was investigated. Three hundred patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery from July 2010 to May 2014 were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n = 150/ group). Experimental group patients received enteral nutrition in water during the early posto.. Read More»

Genetic markers for detection of Escherichia coli K-12 harboring ampicillin-resistance plasmid from an industrial wastewater treatment effluent pond
Authors: G.A.R. Sim?µes, M.A.S. Xavier, D.A. Oliveira, E.V. Menezes,S.S.G. Magalh?£es, J.A.C.D. Gandra and A.R.E.O. Xavier
Biotechnology industries that use recombinant DNA technology are potential sources for release of genetically modified organisms to the environment. Antibiotic-resistance marker genes are commonly used for recombinant bacteria selection. One example is the marker gene coding for β-lactamase (bla) in plasmids found in Esch.. Read More»

A comparative framework of the Erythrina velutina tree species in reforested land and native populations
Authors: E.M.S. Souza, G.S. Pereira, R. Silva-Mann, S.V. ?lvares-Carvalho and R.A. Ferreira
Erythrina velutina Willd. (Fabaceae: Papillionoideae) is a pioneer species found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world that has medicinal properties and that is used in reforestation projects. This species is rare in some areas of northeastern Brazil. This study aimed to characterize and compare genetic structures o.. Read More»

Analysis of postoperative PSA changes after ultrasound-guided permanent [125I] seed implantation for the treatment of prostate cancer
Authors: X.L. Bian, C.Z. Wang, Y. Wang, Y.N. Li, L.Z. Zhang and L. Liu
The aim of this study was to explore postoperative changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and risk factors that influence the clinical effects of ultrasound-guided permanent [125I] seed implantation in the treatment of prostate cancer. From July 2009 to December 2012, 41 prostate cancer patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided [ 125.. Read More»

Bayesian GGE biplot models applied to maize multi-environments trials
Authors: L.A. de Oliveira, C.P. da Silva, J.J. Nuvunga, A.Q. da Silva and M. Balestre
The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and the genotype main effects and genotype x environment interaction (GGE) models stand out among the linear-bilinear models used in genotype x environment interaction studies. Despite the advantages of their use to describe genotype x environment (AMMI) or genoty.. Read More»

Antiviral RNA silencing suppression activity of Tomato spotted wilt virus NSs protein
Authors: T. Ocampo Ocampo, S.M. Gabriel Peralta, N. Bacheller, S. Uiterwaal, A. Knapp, A. Hennen, D.L. Ochoa-Martinez and H. Garcia-Ruiz
In addition to regulating gene expression, RNA silencing is an essential antiviral defense system in plants. Triggered by double-stranded RNA, silencing results in degradation or translational repression of target transcripts. Viruses are inducers and targets of RNA silencing. To condition susceptibility, most plant viruses en.. Read More»
