Prediction model of a joint analysis of beef growth and carcass quality traits
Authors: H.R. Mirzaei, A.P. Verbyla and W.S. Pitchford
A joint growth-carcass analysis was conducted to develop equations for predicting carcass quality traits associated with variation in growth path of crossbred cattle. During a four-year period (1994-1997) of the Australian “Southern Crossbreeding Project”, mature Hereford cows (r = 581) were mated to 97 sires of Je.. Read More»

Authors: K. Mahmood, W. Nazeer, M. Naeem, S. Freed, M.A. Khan, G. Abbas, M. Iqbal, A.R. Kulachi, S.A. Sajid, M.A. Sadiq and M. Saleem
The intensity of genetic diversity amongst chickpea genotypes and their crosses is unknown. The current study investigated the genetic diversity of chickpea genotypes and their F1 crosses by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. We assessed the variation among 6 chickpea genotypes and 15 F1 crosses with the RAPD markers. The 6 parents and.. Read More»

Influence of adenosine on preservation of porcine pancreas in islet transplantation
Authors: W.Q. Song, D.Z. Fu, Y. Cheng and Y.F. Liu
Ischemia time during transplantation has greatly restricted the quality and utilization of grafts. To improve the quality of islet transplantation, adenosine was added into the University of Wisconsin (UW) pancreas perfusate to assess its effect on islet yield and function in porcine pancreas. Ten pancreata from donation after cardiac death pigs were obta.. Read More»

Study of the methylation patterns of the EGFR gene promoter in non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: Z.Y. Pan, Z.S. Jiang and H.Q. Ouyang
We investigated the methylation state of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene promoter in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and analyzed its effect on tumor biology. We enrolled 120 patients with NSCLC who had been confirmed by pathologic diagnosis and had been operated on. The methylation states of the EGFR gene promoter were detected and an.. Read More»

Association between the XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and risk of cervical carcinoma: a meta-analysis
Authors: D.Y. Liu, H.C. Liang and X.M. Xiao
Numerous studies have evaluated the association between Arg399Gln polymorphism of DNA repair gene XRCC1 and cervical carcinoma risk. However, the specific association is still controversial. To assess the relationship between XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and cervical carcinoma, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of 10 case-control studies with 205.. Read More»

Analysis of the expression of HMGB-1, CXCL16, miRNA-30a, and TGF-�²1 in primary nephritic syndrome patients and its significance
Authors: W.J. Wang, X.Q. Qu, X.M. Yu, W. Lv and H.Y. Yu
We investigated the expression levels of high-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB-1), CXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16), microRNA (miRNA)-30a and transforming growth factor b1 (TGF-b1) in primary nephritic syndrome (PNS) patients and the clinical significance of this expression. A total of 56 patients with PNS were included in the PNS group, while 50 health.. Read More»

Application of the ERK signaling pathway inhibitor PD98059 in long-term in vivo experiments
Authors: X.Y. Chen, H.Z. Cai, X.Y. Wang, Q.Y. Chen, H. Yang, Y.J. Chen and Y.P. Tang
The aim of this study was to explore methods by which the ERK signaling pathway inhibitor PD98059 (PD) could be used in long-term in vivo experiments. Forty healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into blank control, model control, PD low-dose, PD high-dose, PD blank, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) control, DMSO blank, and positive control groups.
