Association between RNF41 gene c.-206 T > A genetic polymorphism and risk of congenital heart diseases in the Chinese Mongolian population
Authors: Y. Zhang, S.Q. Jin, W.X. Li, G.Q. Gao, K. Zhang and J.L. Huang
This study aimed to explore the association between ring finger protein 41 (RNF41) c.-206 T > A variant and susceptibility to congenital heart disease (CHD) in the Chinese Mongolian population. The association between RNF41 gene c.-206 T > A polymorphism and CHD was examined in two independent case-control studies consis.. Read More»

Expression of N-cadherin in myocardial tissues during the development of a rat heart
Authors: L.M. Mu, W.F. Wang, H. Zheng, Z.K. Guo and G.M. Zhang
We investigated the expression and distribution of N-cadherin during the development of a rat heart. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to detect the expression and distribution of N-cadherin in the myocardial tissues of rats at embryonic day 18 (E18d), postnatal day 5 (P5d), postnatal day 19 (P19d), postnatal day 40 (P40d), and postnatal year 1 (P1..

APOA5 -1131T>C and APOC3 -455T>C polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease
Authors: Y. Sun, R.B. Zhou and D.M. Chen
The aim of this study was to investigate correlations between apolipoprotein A-V (APOA5) -1131T>C and apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3) -455T>C polymorphisms and coronary heart disease (CHD). PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases were searched using combinations of keywords relating to thes.. Read More»

miRNA-146a induces vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis in a rat model of coronary heart disease via NF-�ºB pathway
Authors: Z.W. Wu, Y.F. Liu, S. Wang and B. Li
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miRNA-146a in modulating the function of vascular smooth muscle cells in a rat model of coronary heart disease. Vascular smooth muscle cells were isolated and cultured from the rat coronary heart disease model and normal rats (controls). miRNA-146a levels were measured in vascular smooth muscle cells ob..

Genetic characterization of red-colored heartwood genotypes of Chinese fir using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers
Authors: H.J. Duan, R.Y. Hu, B. Wu, D.X. Chen, K.Y. Huang, J. Dai, Q. Chen, Z.C. Wei, S. Cao, Y.H. Sun and Y. Li
The present study investigated the genetic characterization of red-colored heartwood Chinese fir [Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.] in Guangxi using 21 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and analyzes of the genetic variation (N = 149) in samples obtained from five sites in Guangxi Province, China. The number of different alleles and the Shannon&rsq.. Read More»
