Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGender, Stereotype Threat and Mathematics Test ScoresMing Tsui, Xiao Y. Xu, Edmond VenatorProblem statement: Stereotype threat has repeatedly been shown to depress women’s scores on difficult math tests. An attempt to replicate these findings in China found no support for the stereotype threat hypothesis. Our math test was characterized as being personally important for the student participants, an atypical condition in most stereotype threat laboratory research. Approach: To evaluate the effects of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 16 Aug 2011 · 8,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesExpression, Purification and Activity Assay of the Recombinant Protein of Catechol-O-Methyltransferase from Chinese White Shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis)Dian-Xiang Li, Xin-Jun Du, Xiao-Fan Zhao, Jin-Xing WangProblem statement: We have previously cloned a gene of Chinese white shrimp Catechol O-Methyltransferase (designated Fc-COMT) and characterized the gene expression pattern. In this study, expression and purification as well as activity assay of the recombinant Fc-COMT was further conducted. Approach: Using pET-30a (+) as a prokaryotic expression vector, the recombinant Fc- COMT was expressed in the supernatant of Escherichia … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,770 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Porcine Mitochondrial Transcription Factor a Gene: Molecular Characterization, Radiation Hybrid Mapping and Genetic Diversity among 12 Pig BreedsTanja Kunej, Xiao-Lin Wu, Jennifer J. Michal et al.Problem statement: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nucleus-encoded protein that is a key activator of mitochondrial transcription as well as a major participant in mitochondrial genome replication. Genomic characterization of the porcine TFAM gene is, therefore, necessary to determine its involvement in regulation of fat depots and meat quality traits in pigs. Approach: Genomic DNA sequence was determined … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesVoltage-Gated Channels as Causative Agents for EpilepsiesMutasem Abuhamed, Xiao Bo, Kun Xia et al.Problem statement: Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that afflicts 1-2% of the general population worldwide. It encompasses a variety of disorders with seizures. Approach: Idiopathic epilepsies were defined as a heterogeneous group of seizure disorders that show no underlying cause .Voltage-gated ion channels defect were recognized etiology of epilepsy in the central nervous system. The aim of this article … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCentral Nervous System Tuberculomas: A Review ArticleMutasem Abuhamed, Xiao Bo, Cai YanCentral Nervous System Tuberculomas (CNSTs), the most dangerous form of tubercolomas, remains a public health problem, particularly in the developing country. Central nervous system tuberculomas, either single or multiple, usually presents as a diagnostic challenge because it resembles many other infectious and non-infectious medical conditions, particularly in patients without constitutional symptoms or evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body. Here … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPolitical Stability and Economic Growth in AsiaMuhammad Younis, Xu Xiao Lin, Yahya Sharahili, Santhirasegaram SelvarathinamThis study investigates the effects of various factors of political instability on economic growth in selected ten Asian economies during 1990-2005. Our empirical findings show a close relationship between political stability and economic growth. We have analyzed the data by using ordinary least squire econometrics methods, which conclude that 32.35 scores increasing of index of political stability leads to one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIdentification of Novel Chromosomal Abnormalities, inv(5)(p13q13) and t(7;18)(q32;q21), Associated with AutismZheng Chen, Xiao-bing Zou, Ya-nan Zhang et al.Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder defined by impairments in social interaction, communication, as well as restricted and stereotyped behaviors. While the etiology of autism remains largely unknown, the existence of genetic components has been clearly demonstrated in autistic pathogenesis. The incidence of autism is 50-100 fold greater in the population with autistic family history than the general population. Chromosomal abnormalities … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesProtection against Lipopolysaccharide-induced Death by An Anti-Interleukin-6 Monoclonal AntibodyBailin Liang, Debra Gardner, Don Griswold, Xiao-yu R. SongSepticemia is frequently associated with serious complications and high mortality despite recent advances in treatment with antibacterial agents. Infectious organisms or their soluble products initiate septic shock through a complex cytokine cascade. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced excessive production of inflammatory cytokines is regarded as a model of septic shock. Experiments of LPS-induced excessive cytokine production were conducted in Balb/c mice for … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAcute and Subacute Phase of Cerebral Infarction After Treatment With Acupuncture and Medical TherapyMutasem A. Hamed, Zi X. Hong, Xiao Bo et al.Stroke is the third leading cause of death in developed countries and the second cause of death in patients aged 65 years or more.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesInternalizing Versus Non-internalizing Receptors for Targeting L-Methioninase to Cancer CellsXiao-Ping Zang, Naveen R. Palwai, J. T. Pento, Roger G. HarrisonWe reported previously that L-methioninase targeted to the urokinase receptor of MCF-7 breast cancer cells is significantly more effective in inhibiting cell proliferation and migration than free L-methioninase both in vitro and in vivo. L-methioninase was targeted by linking at its amino terminus to an amino-terminal fragment (ATF) of urokinase. The ATF was selected for targeting because is has previously … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,817 accessesView PDFCite
