Gene Expression in Endometrial Tissues of Normal Mares and Mares With Delayed Uterine Clearance
… the uterine lumen following breeding events, venereal disease or an estral cycle. This syndrome is typically seen in older, multiparous mares and mares with poor reproductive tract conformation. The etiopathogenesis of DUC has not been fully elucidated but suggested causes include poor genital …

Genetic Variations in Interferon-Induced Genes and HCV Recurrence after Liver Transplantation
… and clinical complications post-transplantation. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) was also run to determine the relationship between SNPs or disease state and the level of RNA expression. Results were collected and analyzed using Fishers exact test, Kaplan-Meir method, and …

Phakopsora pachyrhizi growth in tissue of leaves from resistant and susceptible soybean germplasm
… more sporulating uredinia indicate a susceptible reaction. Resistance to soybean rust is characterized by the development of reddish-brown (RB) lesions or a symptomless immune response, though considerable variation in lesion diameter, color and sporulation has been observed among resistant …

The Roles of the Collagen Binding Integrins in the Regulation of Endothelial Cell Function
… vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). First, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was performed to quantify the expression levels of the four integrins. Functional roles of these integrins were then investigated using commercially available inhibitors (TC-I-15, Obtustatin …

Evaluating the role of PLGF and VEGFR-1/ Flt-1 in the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive cervical carcinoma in the background of HIV infection in women living in South Africa
… levels were respectively quantified by Taqman quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Protein expression and location was also assessed via immunohistochemistry (IHC). The prevalence of HR-HPV was 75%, with higher infection rates …

Global Gene Expression Profiles and Proteomic Assessments in Adult Females with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
… with significant morbidity including daytime sleepiness, hypertension, and elevated cardiovascular risk. OSAS affects at least 4% of men and 2% of women; unfortunately, it is estimated that 80% to 90% of adults with OSAS remain undiagnosed. Both clinical characteristics and complex …

Dopaminergic Genetic Contributions to Obesity in Kidney Transplant Recipients
… white blood cells were collected at baseline. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) techniques were used to determine the genotype of these dopaminergic polymorphisms noted in previous work and in the literature as being …

Altered cord blood biomarkers in neonatal brain injury
… and mRNA, and subsequent cDNA synthesis and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Protein expression measurements were conducted with sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) on cord serum samples. All statistical analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics …

Growth of mixed cultures of moderate thermophiles for commercial heap bioleaching of low-grade copper-sulphide ores
… micro organisms but the need to shorten process times and to increase efficiency has resulted in a need to inoculate the heaps. The aim of inoculation is to deliver micro-organisms best suited for the conditions expected in a heap as leaching progresses and as the heap ages. Successful leaching …

A waterhemp saga: Seed production, genetics, hybridization, and the creation and discovery of quad-stack individuals
… biology of waterhemp—namely the amount of time required for female plants to produce mature seeds after pollination. It was found that some seeds may become viable in as little as 7–9 days after pollination, and that seed dormancy drops if seeds remain on the plant for at least 15–30 days …
