Molecular identification of variety purity in a cotton hybrid with unknown parentage using DNA-SSR markers
Molecular identification of hybrid purity is difficult in regional trials of cotton varieties and hybrid trials. In particular, the molecular detection of hybrid purity has not yet been reported in the case of unknown parentage. In this study, we screened 5000 pairs of primers and chose 17 pairs of core simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers to determine the F1 purity.. Read More»

Novel representation of RNA secondary structure used to improve prediction algorithms
We propose a novel representation of RNA secondary structure for a quick comparison of different structures. Secondary structure was viewed as a set of stems and each stem was represented by two values according to its position. Using this representation, we improved the comparative sequence analysis method results and the minimum free-energy model. In the comparati.. Read More»

Deep RNA sequencing elucidates microRNA-regulated molecular pathways in ischemic cardiomyopathy and nonischemic cardiomyopathy
Deregulation of cardiac miRNA gene-regulatory networks is a feature of different heart diseases, including ischemic (ICM) and nonischemic (NICM) cardiomyopathy. Here, based on the paired miRNA and mRNA expression profiles in ICM and NICM, we identified the differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs and the expression signatures distinguishing ICM/NICM from control sa..

Post-surgical treatment of a patient with ectopic pheochromocytoma
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 undergo aggressive fluid supplementation an.. Read More»

Relationship between serum neopterin levels and coronary heart disease
The relationship between serum neopterin levels and coronary heart disease (CHD) was investigated. Eighty-six CHD patients were divided into an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group (N = 21), an unstable angina pectoris (UAP) group (N = 35), and a stable angina pectoris (SAP) group (N = 30), based on coronary angiography (CAG), 30 subjects without CHD served as the control group. Serum neopte.. Read More»

Genetic variations in MOV10 and CACNB2 are associated with hypertension in a Chinese Han population
Human hypertension is a complex, multifactorial disease. Multiple variants associated with hypertension have been identified in the large numbers of genome-wide association studies, meta-analysis, and case-control studies. The present study investigated the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of five candidate genes and the susceptibility and prognosis of hypertension.. Read More»

Inhibitory effect of microRNA-27b on interleukin 17 (IL-17)-induced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1) expression
We investigated the effect of microRNA-27b (miR-27b), a gene expression regulatory factor, on the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1) stimulated by interleukin 17 (IL-17). After IL-17 had been added to H9C2 cardiomyocytes, an miR-27b mimic was transfected into the H9C2 cells. The mRNA expression levels of miR-27b and MCP1 in the H9C2 cells were d.. Read More»

A potential indicator of denervated muscle atrophy: the ratio of myostatin to follistatin in peripheral blood
Myostatin is a secreted negative regulator of muscle mass, and follistatin antagonizes the function of several members of the TGF-b family, including myostatin. Previously, myostatin expression was found to be closely associated with atrophy of the gastrocnemius muscle, showing a linear correlation, after sciatic nerve injury. In this study, we investigated the poss.. Read More»

imDC: an ensemble learning method for imbalanced classification with miRNA data
Imbalances typically exist in bioinformatics and are also common in other areas. A drawback of traditional machine learning methods is the relatively little attention given to small sample classification. Thus, we developed imDC, which uses an ensemble learning concept in combination with weights and sample misclassification information to effectively classify imbalanced data. Our method showed..

Association between IL2/IL21 and SH2B3 polymorphisms and risk of celiac disease: a meta-analysis
Celiac disease (CD) is a common autoimmune disorder characterized by heightened immunological response to ingested gluten. Certain gene polymorphisms of IL2/IL21 (rs6822844 and rs6840978) and SH2B3 (rs3184504) may influence susceptibility to CD, although the effects remain unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of the associations between rs6822844, rs6840978, and rs3184504 polymorphisms and CD .. Read More»
