pelB gene in isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from several hosts
Authors: L.V. Medeiros, D.B. Maciel, V.V. Medeiros, L.M. Houllou Kido and N.T. Oliveira
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is an important pathogen for a great number of economically important crops. During the necrotrophic phase of infection by Colletotrichum spp, the degradative enzymes of plant cell walls, such as pectate lyase, clearly increase. A gene pelB that expresses a pectate lyase was identified in isolate.. Read More»

Direct effects on scenarios and types of path analyses in corn hybrids
Authors: M. Toebe, A. Cargnelutti Filho, L. Storck and A.D. L�?ºcio
The objective of this study was to estimate the direct effects of explanatory variables on the grain yield of corn in the combinations formed by three types of hybrids x two harvests x nine scenarios of explanatory variables x two types of path analyses. Eleven explanatory variables were measured in 361, 373, and 416 single-, .. Read More»

IL-10 and IL-12B gene polymorphisms in a multiethnic Malaysian population
Authors: S.S. Sam, B.T. Teoh and S. AbuBakar
Inheritance of polymorphisms in the interleukin (IL)-10 promoter and IL-12B genes, which influence cytokine production and activities, may define the balance in T helper response in infection and autoimmune diseases. In the present study, we investigated the distribution of the IL-10 promoter and IL-12B gene polymorphisms in a multiethnic Malaysian popula.. Read More»

Differentiation-inducing effects of betamethasone on human glioma cell line U251
Authors: T. Jin, Y.X. Wang, K. Fan, D.B. Tao, X. Dong and J.S. Shen
We studied the differentiation-inducing effect of betamethasone on human glioma cell line U251 cultured in vitro, and the underlying mechanism. U251 cells were divided into two groups: control group cells, cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum; and medication group cells, treated with 15 μM betamet..

Repeated whole-lung lavage for unremitting pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: a eight-year follow-up of a case
Authors: F. Gao, G.C. Lu, X.Y. Zhou, Z. Yu, H.M. Wang and T. Bian
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare clinical syndrome that was first described in 1958. To date, whole-lung lavage (WLL) is still the gold-standard therapy for PAP. Herein, we report the case of a male patient who was diagnosed with PAP by open-lung biopsy 8 years prior to presentation at our clinic. The man underwe.. Read More»

Effect of skeletal muscle fibers on porcine meat quality at different stages of growth
Authors: F. Wu, J.J. Zuo, Q.P. Yu, S.G. Zou, H.Z. Tan, J. Xiao, Y.H. Liu and D.Y. Feng
In this study, we examined changes in meat quality and content of muscle types during porcine growth. The influence of the longissimus dorsi muscle fiber composition on meat quality and the correlation between 2 fiber-typing methods (histochemistry and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction) were examined. Type IIx and type IIb fibers accounted .. Read More»

Rapid development of polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii) using next-generation sequencing technology
Authors: L.M. Li, L. Wei, H.Y. Jiang, Y. Zhang, X.J. Zhang, L.H. Yuan and J.P. Chen
Anthropogenic activities have seriously impacted wild resources of the Amur sturgeon, Acipenser schrenckii, and more information on local and regional population genetic structure is required to aid the conservation of this species. In this study, we report the development of 12 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci using next-generation sequencing techno.. Read More»

Pathology of the lower nasolacrimal duct mucosa at multiple time points after lacrimal retrograde catheterization in rabbit
Authors: L. Ye, Y. Peng, Y. Wang, K. Zeng and J.X. Zhang
Lacrimal duct obstruction is a common eye disease, and obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct accounts for over 50% of these cases. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction is usually treated surgically. Lacrimal retrograde catheterization is a novel surgical approach with a high success rate and a relatively high recurrence rate. In this study, we examined the postop.. Read More»

Post-surgical treatment of a patient with ectopic pheochromocytoma
Authors: C.F. Sheng, R. Wang, B.Y. Liu, H.M. Zhang, M. Fang and X. Zheng
We report here the course and treatment of a patient with ectopic pheochromocytoma. The patient was cured after treatment with respiratory and circulatory support, multiple-organ protection, and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for approximately 2 weeks. After misdiagnosis, a patient with ectopic pheochromocytoma who is being treated should und.. Read More»
