The present study was aimed at assessment of the relationship between HLA DRB1 alleles and the response to HCV combined therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C patients (CHC). We enrolled a total of 44 chronically infected HCV patients without Hepatitis B … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2015 · 6,700 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOverdominance Effects between Malaria and Visceral Leishmaniasis in the 5q31 RegionMutaz Amin, Abdelbadea Elhassan, Kirk Rocket, Muntasir IbrahimA group of SNPs in 5q31, genotyped from Hausa tribe of Koka village in eastern Sudan; an area endemic with malaria and visceral leishmaniasis, were analyzed by The Leishmaniasis research group and found to have significant excess of heterozygosis level and departure from HWE and assumed to be due to natural selection resulting from notorious deadly outbreaks since various ethnic … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 18 Sep 2015 · 7,114 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Association of Early Pregnancy Loss with Polymorphism in Xenobiotics Detoxification GenesElena Vladimirovna Mashkina, Konstantin Nikolaevich Saraev, Elena Viktorovna Butenko et al.Pregnancy loss and other pregnancy complication can be connected with environmental and lifestyle risk factor, among which effect of chemical compounds is the strongest. Effects of xenobiotics can be modified by allele variants of xenobiotic detoxification enzymes phase I or II. A total of 71 women with early pregnancy loss and 101 control patients were examined by a case-control methodology. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 6 May 2015 · 7,032 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOPTIMUM MICRONUTRIENT LEVEL FOR PHALAENOPSIS DELICIOSA ORCHID SEEDLING IN VITRO GROWTHZherui Xiong, Chieh Wean ChoongThere were many researches about the influence of micronutrient concentration toward growth of plants. However, there was no clear statement about the micronutrient level for growth of Phalaenopsis seedlings. Hence it was worth to investigate the optimum level of micronutrient for Phalaenopsis, an endangered orchid species. Using Phalaenopsis deliciosa as the subject, germinated seedlings were grown on defined culture media … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2014 · 6,629 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESCHERICHIA COLI PATHOTYPES ASSOCIATED WITH DIARRHEA IN HUMAN AND DOMESTIC ANIMALSI.I. ShabanaRuminants are important reservoirs for zoonotic pathogenic E. coli. The objective of this study was to characterize pathogenic E. coli isolates from cattle and sheep linked to human illness with respect to their path types, serotypes and genotypes. E. coli O157:H7 isolated from cattle, sheep and human patients were compared for their genomic similarity by Pulsed-Field Gel-Electrophoresis (PFGE). PCR detection … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 2 Sep 2014 · 7,362 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFLOW CYTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF NUCLEAR DNA BETWEEN OKRA LANDRACES (ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS L.)Naser M. SalamehOkra Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Moench), is an economically important vegetable crop grown in tropical and sub-tropical as well as Mediterranean countries. The genome size of the Abelmoschus genus species is still rare. Ploidy determinations have traditionally been done by counting chromosomes of stained root tips, but this method is laborious and often difficult with species which have small chromosomes and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Feb 2014 · 8,085 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF MELANOCORTIN-4 RECEPTOR GENE ON GROWTH AND MEAT TRAITS IN PIGS RAISED IN RUSSIAA. Klimenko, A. Usatov, Lyubov Getmantseva et al.The Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R), a G-protein coupled receptor, is implicated in mediating the effect of leptin on food intake and energy balance. A previous candidate gene study reported an association between an MC4R polymorphism (Asp298Asn) and growth and meat productive traits of pigs. The aim of this work was to determine frequencies of the MC4R/Taq I genotypes and alleles in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,608 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolymorphism of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Gene in Najdi Cattle PopulationsAhmad Yazdanpanah, Khalil Mirzadeh, Morteza Mamouei et al.The Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) system plays a critical endocrine role controlling nutrient metabolism in dairy cattle and it is a group of structurally-related polypeptides that regulate the growth of many types of mammalian cells. In liver, IGF-1 is dynamically regulated by lactation and energy balance. Less is known about the regulation of IGF-1 and IGF-binding protein mRNA in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,154 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability and Genetic Structure in a Commercial Field of Tequila Plants, Agave tequilana Weber (Agavaceae)Martha Isabel Torres-Moran, Ana Paulina Velasco-Ramirez, Salvador Antonio Hurtado-de la Pena et al.Crops of the tequila plant (Agave tequilana) are produced mainly from offshoots of mother plants in established commercial fields. This propagation method is significant, as it is believed that it facilitates the spread of disease because of the crop’s low genetic variability and is also necessary because it is regulate the use of just that variety in tequila industry. Different … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2013 · 8,093 accessesView PDF Cite
