Identification of a new locus conferring antixenosis to the brown planthopper in rice cultivar Swarnalata (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: Y.F. Qiu, L. Cheng, F. Liu and R.B. Li
The brown planthopper [Nilaparvata lugens (Stål); BPH] has caused severe damage to rice production. The identification of resistance genes and the development of BPH-resistant varieties are economical and effective ways to manage this pest. Using an F2 population from a cross between the Indica cultivars 93-11 and Swarnalata, we mapped the Qbph-8 lo.. Read More»

Polymorphisms of rs1799983 (G>T) and rs1800780 (A>G) of the eNOS gene associated with susceptibility to essential hypertension in the Chinese Hui ethnic population
Authors: B. Yang, J.R. Xu, X.M. Liu, Y. Yang, X.F. Na, M. Li and Y.J. Wang
We investigated a possible association of polymorphism of the eNOS gene and essential hypertension in the Chinese Hui population; polymorphisms of rs2070744 (T>C), rs1799983 (G>T), rs1800780 (A>G), and rs3918181 (A>G) loci of the eNOS gene were examined. We found that the genotypic frequencies at rs1799983 and rs1800780 loci differed significa.. Read More»

Diadenylate cyclase evaluation of ssDacA (SSU98_1483) in Streptococcus suis serotype 2
Authors: B. Du and J.H. Sun
Cyclic diadenosine monophosphate is a recently identified signaling molecule. It has been shown to play important roles in bacterial pathogenesis. SSU98_1483 (ssDacA), which is an ortholog of Listeria monocytogenes DacA, is a putative diadenylate cyclase in Streptococcus suis serotype 2. In this study, we determined the enzymatic activity of ssDacA in vit.. Read More»

KLK1 A1789G gene polymorphism and the risk of coronary artery stenosis in the Chinese population
Authors: Q.D. Li, F.J. Li, X.C. Liu and H. Jiang
Previous reports have shown that polymorphism of the human tissue kallikrein 1 (KLK1) A1789G gene is associated with susceptibility to hypertension. The current study aimed to confirm the association between the polymorphism in KLK1 and coronary artery stenosis (CAS). A total of 458 patients with CAS and 482 controls were used in a case-control study carr.. Read More»

Investigation of polymorphisms in exon7 of the NSUN7 gene among Chinese Han men with asthenospermia
Authors: H.Y. Ren, R. Zhong, X.P. Ding, Z.Y. Chen and Y.L. Jing
Previous studies have shown that genetic polymorphisms in exon7 of the NSUN7 gene can be used as an infertility marker in Iranian men with asthenospermia. However, there have been no equivalent studies in China. In the present study, we investigated the possible association between the genetic polymorphisms in exon7 of NSUN7 and asthenospermia in a Chines.. Read More»

Immunohistochemistry of lymphocytes in benign lymphoadenosis of oral mucosa
Authors: S.-X. Li, Q. Li, Y.-Q. Yang, L.-J. Jin, Z. Sun and S.-F. Yu
Benign lymphoadenosis of oral mucosa (BLOM) is a common oral mucosa disease and may be regarded as a precancerous lesion. However, the association between its biological behavior and lymphocyte distribution remains unclear. Therefore, to investigate the characteristics of BLOM, we studied the infiltration of lymphocytes associated with it. The expression .. 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»
