miR-367 promotes uveal melanoma cell proliferation and migration by regulating PTEN

We aimed to investigate the biological role of miR-367 in uveal melanoma cell growth and migration, and the underlying mechanism responsible. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to evaluate miR-367 expression in uveal melanoma tissue samples and cell lines. A miR-367 mimic, miR-367 inhibitor, and negative control oligonucleotide were trans.. Read More»

Characterizing and marker-assisting a novel chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) yellow bud mutant with cytoplasmic male sterility

G.S. Sun, Z.L. Dai, P.W. Bosland, Q. Wang, C.Q. Sun, Z.C. Zhang and Z.H. Ma

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in pepper is a better way to produce hybrid seeds compared to manual production. We used the two sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers (CRF-SCAR and CMS-SCAR130) in CMS pepper, to identify the genotype. We assembled two CMS yellow bud mutants (YBM; YBM12-A and YBM12-B). This mutation in leaf color is controlled by a .. Read More»

Immunological characteristics of outer membrane protein omp31 of goat Brucella and its monoclonal antibody

W.Y. Zheng, Y. Wang, Z.C. Zhang and F. Yan

We examined the immunological characteristics of outer membrane protein omp31 of goat Brucella and its monoclonal antibody. Genomic DNA from the M5 strain of goat Brucella was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-1. The expression and immunological characteristics of the fusion protein GST-omp31 were subjec.. Read More»

Evaluation of the function status of the ulnar nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome

J. Zhang,N. Liu,Y.W. Wang,Z.C. Zhang,L.N. Zheng and J. Zhu

Many carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients have symptoms in both the median and ulnar digits more frequently than in the median digits alone. This is possibly because of close anatomical contiguity of the carpal tunnel and Guyon’s canal, and the high pressure may also affect the latter, causing indirect compression of ulnar nerve fibers. Thus, we evaluated the functional status of the uln.. Read More»
