Molecular characterization and tissue expression profile of porcine Ephrin-B2
Authors: D. Xu and H.M. Ma
Ephrin-B2 (EFNB2) is a signaling molecule that plays an important role in cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration in humans. However, little is known about this molecule in pigs. In order to investigate whether EFNB2 is associated with the skeletal muscle in pigs, we cloned the full-length cDNA of EFNB2 (GenBank accession No. KF500033) from the longis.. Read More»

Analysis of antithrombotic therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation.
Authors: W.Q. Gao, Y.T. Guo, J.L. Ma, P. Zhu and Y.T. Wang
This study aimed to analyze the impact factors and outcome of antithrombotic therapy in elderly patients over 65 years old that suffered from atrial fibrillation (AF). A total of 256 elderly patients with AF over 65 years old were divided into 3 groups: 65-74 years old (N = 86), 75-84 years old (N = 122), and over 85 years old.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite DNA in the piracema fish Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes)
Authors: Yazbeck GM and Kalapothakis E
We described five novel microsatellite loci for the piracema fish species Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes), endemic to South America and of extreme importance to both commercial and artisanal fisheries across its occurrence area. A primary, unenriched genomic library was constructed and radioactively screened for repetitiv.. Read More»

Relationship between multiple paternity and reproductive parameters for Podocnemis sextuberculata (Testudines Podocnemididae) in the Trombetas River, Brazil
Authors: F.P. Freda1, V.C.D. Bernardes1, C.C. Eisemberg3, C. Fantin2 and R.C. Vogt1
Genetic studies of multiple paternity are a valuable tool to gain information on the reproductive biology of turtles. We analyzed paternity type in Podocnemis sextuberculata and related number of fathers per nest to nesting period (beginning, middle, or end of nesting season); clutch size (number of eggs); female size; and hatchling success. Females were .. Read More»

Effects of hydroxycamptothecin on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor of MMP-1, and type I collagen in rats with pulmonary fibrosis
Authors: G.-X. Hu, S.-T. Yao, L.-H. Zeng, Y.-Z. Peng and J. Zheng
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 (TIMP-1), and type I collagen in the lung tissue of rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin A5. We used hematoxylin eosin staining to observe the degree of pulmonary fibrosis in rat.. Read More»

Analysis of imprinted messenger RNA expression in deceased transgenic cloned goats
Authors: R.X. Jia, Z.R. Zhou, G.M. Zhang, L.Z. Wang, Y.X. Fan, Y.J. Wan, Y.L. Zhang,Z.Y. Wang and F. Wang
Genomic imprinting is an important epigenetic mechanism that has vital effects on fetal growth and development. We observed the differences in four tissues (heart, spleen, liver, and kidney) from dead transgenic cloned goats using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Eight imprinted genes in the tissues of dead transgenic cloned and normal goats were.. Read More»

Role of aluminum adjuvant in producing an allergic rhinitis animal model
Authors: L. Xi, E. Fan, Y. Zhao, Y. Li, Y. Zhang and L. Zhang
This study evaluated different dosage forms of aluminum adjuvant in generating allergic rhinitis animal models. Forty female BALB/c mice were assigned to four groups, including three dosage forms of aluminum adjuvant [powder, gel, and hydrosolvent of aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3] mixed with ovalbumin to simulate the symptoms of..

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci in Megalonibea fusca
Authors: Z.B. Li, Q.H. Li, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan, G. Dai, L.N. Chen, Y.Y. Cao and X.J. Chen
Megalonibea fusca is a commercially important large edible fish. In this study, the first set of 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci for M. fusca was developed and characterized. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to five, with the observed and expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.0667 to 0.7667, and from 0.0644 to 0.5828, respectively. Mo.. Read More»
