Analysis of genetic diversity among Chinese wild Vitis species revealed with SSR and SRAP markers

Authors: Z.B. Jing, X.P. Wang and J.M. Cheng

The genetic diversity among 80 Vitis materials including 62 indigenous accessions of 17 wild Vitis species in China and 7 interspecific hybrids, 10 V. vinifera L. cultivars, and 1 V. riparia Michaux were evaluated by simple sequence repeat and sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers. A total of 10 simple sequence repeat primers and 11 sequence-rel.. Read More»

Association between XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Authors: W. Xu, S. Liu, L. Li, Z.Y. Shen and Y.L. Wu

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lifethreatening malignancies worldwide. Defects in DNA repair genes may increase the risk of HCC. X-ray cross-complementing group 1 gene (XRCC1) is a major DNA repair gene involved in base excision repair. Recently, several studies have indicated that an association exists between XRCC1 polymorphism and HC.. Read More»

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»

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»
