Incidence of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR3) A248C, S249C, G372C, and T375C mutations in bladder cancer
Authors: Y. Dodurga, C. Tataroglu, Z. Kesen and N.L. Satiroglu-Tufan
Bladder cancer is the most frequent cancer of the urinary system. Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) belong to the tyrosine kinase family and have important roles in cell differentiation and proliferation and embryogenesis. FGFR3 is located on chromosome 4p16.3, and missense mutations of FGFR3 are associated with autoso.. Read More»

Relationship between zinc and the growth and development of young children
Authors: S. Gao, D.N. Tu, H. Li, X. Cao, J.X. Jiang, Y. Shi, X.Q. Zhou1and J.B. You
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between zinc and the growth and development of young children. The parents of 8102 young children were surveyed in person by a trained surveyor using structured questionnaires. The hair zinc concentration of the children was determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The height, weig.. Read More»

Effects of acupotomylysis on basic fibroblast growth factor and CD34 levels in rabbits with third lumbar vertebral transverse foramen syndrome
Authors: X.-H. Li, N.-G. Liu, C.-Q. Guo, H.-M. Sun, H.-X. Wu, H. Xu and Y. Zhang
This study observed the local tissue homogenates in rabbits with third lumbar vertebral transverse foramen syndrome and explored the mechanism of acupotomylysis in local tissue revascularization. Thirty Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into the following 5 groups of 6 rabbits each: normal, model, acupotomy, electroacupuncture (EA), and acupoto.. Read More»

Random regression models for the estimation of genetic and environmental covariance functions for growth traits in Santa Ines sheep
Authors: J.L.R. Sarmento, R.A. Torres, W.H. Sousa, R.N.B. L�´bo,L.G. Albuquerque, P.S. Lopes, N.P.S. Santos and A.B. Bignard
Polynomial functions of different orders were used to model random effects associated with weight of Santa Ines sheep from birth to 196 days. Fixed effects included in the models were contemporary groups, age of ewe at lambing, and fourth-order Legendre polynomials for age to represent the average growth curve. In the random p.. Read More»

Vascular endothelial growth factor +936C/T polymorphism and cancer risk in Asians: a meta-analysis
Authors: X.L. Liu, Q.F. Yang and B.H. Kong
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the most important regulator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability, is involved in various steps of carcinogenesis. The +936C/T polymorphism of the VEGF gene has been reported to affect the VEGF protein level and to be related to the susceptibility of cancer. However, the results of published studies, as well..

Joint analysis of beef growth and carcass quality traits through calculation of co-variance components and correlations
Authors: H.R. Mirzaei, A.P. Verbyla and W.S. Pitchford
A joint growth-carcass model using random regression was used to estimate the (co)variance components of beef cattle body weights and carcass quality traits and correlations between them. During a four-year period (1994-1997) of the Australian “southern crossbreeding project”, mature Hereford cows (N = 581) were ma.. Read More»

Hair follicle transcriptome profiles during the transition from anagen to catagen in Cashmere goat (Capra hircus)
Authors: Y.X. Fan, R.B. Wu, X. Qiao, Y.J. Zhang, R.J. Wang, R. Su, J.H. Wu, Y. Dong and J.Q. Li
Previous molecular genetic studies of the goat hair life cycle have focused primarily on a limited number of genes and proteins. To identify additional genes that may play important roles in hair follicle cycle regulation, Illumina sequencing technology was used to catalog differential gene expression profiles in the hair growth cycle (anagen to catagen) ..

Study of the relationship between the expression of nerve growth factor and aneurysm formation and prognosis
Authors: C.D. Wang,D.K. Wang,P.C. Cao,Z.W. Wang,Z. Wang and Y.T. Wang
We sought to investigate the effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) expression on the formation and prognosis of cerebral aneurysms. Forty-eight cases were selected following a diagnosis of cerebral aneurysm using computed tomography angiography and surgical confirmation. Thirty-four cases of healthy deaths were also chosen. The tissue was tested for NGF exp.. Read More»

Prediction model of a joint analysis of beef growth and carcass quality traits
Authors: H.R. Mirzaei, A.P. Verbyla and W.S. Pitchford
A joint growth-carcass analysis was conducted to develop equations for predicting carcass quality traits associated with variation in growth path of crossbred cattle. During a four-year period (1994-1997) of the Australian “Southern Crossbreeding Project”, mature Hereford cows (r = 581) were mated to 97 sires of Je.. Read More»

Study of the methylation patterns of the EGFR gene promoter in non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: Z.Y. Pan, Z.S. Jiang and H.Q. Ouyang
We investigated the methylation state of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene promoter in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and analyzed its effect on tumor biology. We enrolled 120 patients with NSCLC who had been confirmed by pathologic diagnosis and had been operated on. The methylation states of the EGFR gene promoter were detected and an.. Read More»
