Background
The objective of this study was to evaluate angiogenesis according to CD34 antigen expression in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and negative breast carcinomas.Methods
This study comprised 64 cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma in postmenopausal women divided into two groups: Group A: ER-positive, n = 35; and Group B: ER-negative, n = 29. The anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody was used as a marker for endothelial cells. Microvessel count was carried out in 10 fields per slide using a 40× objective lens (magnification 400×). Statistical analysis of the data was performed using Student's t-test (p < 0.05).Results
The mean number of vessels stained with the anti-CD34 antibody in the estrogen receptor-positive and negative tumors was 23.51 ± 1.15 and 40.24 ± 0.42, respectively. The number of microvessels was significantly greater in the estrogen receptor-negative tumors (p < 0.001).Conclusion
ER-negative tumors have significantly greater CD34 antigen expression compared to ER-positive tumors.12.

Background
Genomic selection and estimation of genomic breeding values (GBV) are widely used in cattle and plant breeding. Several studies have attempted to detect population subdivision by investigating the structure of the genomic relationship matrix G. However, the question of how these effects influence GBV estimation using genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) has received little attention.Methods
We propose a simple method to decompose G into two independent covariance matrices, one describing the covariance that results from systematic differences in allele frequencies between groups at the pedigree base (GA*) and the other describing genomic relationships (GS) corrected for these differences. Using this decomposition and Fst statistics, we examined whether observed genetic distances between genotyped subgroups within populations resulted from the heterogeneous genetic structure present at the base of the pedigree and/or from breed divergence. Using this decomposition, we tested three models in a forward prediction validation scenario on six traits using Brown Swiss and dual-purpose Fleckvieh cattle data. Model 0 (M0) used both components and is equivalent to the model using the standard G-matrix. Model 1 (M1) used GS only and model 2 (M2), an extension of M1, included a fixed genetic group effect. Moreover, we analyzed the matrix of contributions of each base group (Q) and estimated the effects and prediction errors of each base group using M0 and M1.Results
The proposed decomposition of G helped to examine the relative importance of the effects of base groups and segregation in a given population. We found significant differences between the effects of base groups for each breed. In forward prediction, differences between models in terms of validation reliability of estimated direct genomic values were small but predictive power was consistently lowest for M1. The relative advantage of M0 or M2 in prediction depended on breed, trait and genetic composition of the validation group. Our approach presents a general analogy with the use of genetic groups in conventional animal models and provides proof that standard GBLUP using G yields solutions equivalent to M0, where base groups are considered as correlated random effects within the additive genetic variance assigned to the genetic base. 相似文献13.

Background
Molecular genetic studies on rare tumour entities, such as bone tumours, often require the use of decalcified, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (dFFPE) samples. Regardless of which decalcification procedure is used, this introduces a vast breakdown of DNA that precludes the possibility of further molecular genetic testing. We set out to establish a robust protocol that would overcome these intrinsic hurdles for bone tumour research.Findings
The goal of our study was to establish a protocol, using a modified DNA isolation procedure and quality controls, to select decalcified samples suitable for array-CGH testing. Archival paraffin blocks were obtained from 9 different pathology departments throughout Europe, using different fixation, embedding and decalcification procedures, in order to preclude a bias for certain lab protocols. Isolated DNA samples were subjected to direct chemical labelling and enzymatic labelling systems and were hybridised on a high resolution oligonucleotide chip containing 44,000 reporter elements. Genomic alterations (gains and losses) were readily detected in most of the samples analysed. For example, both homozygous deletions of 0.6 Mb and high level of amplifications of 0.7 Mb were identified.Conclusions
We established a robust protocol for molecular genetic testing of dFFPE derived DNA, irrespective of fixation, decalcification or sample type used. This approach may greatly facilitate further genetic testing on rare tumour entities where archival decalcified, formalin fixed samples are the only source. 相似文献14.

The dissipation of 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) butyric acid (2,4-DB) in high-humic-matter-containing soils from agricultural fields
of the Argentinean Humid Pampa region was studied, employing soil microcosms under different experimental conditions. The
added herbicide was dissipated almost completely by soils with and without history of herbicide use by day 28. At 500 ppm,
both soils showed the same degradation rates; but at 5-ppm concentration, the chronically exposed soil demonstrated a faster
degradation of the herbicide. 2,4-DB addition produced increases in herbicide-degrading bacteria of three and 1.5 orders of
magnitude in soils with and without history of herbicide use, respectively, in microcosms with 5 ppm. At 500-ppm concentration,
the increase in 2,4-DB degraders was five orders of magnitude after 14 days, independent of the history of herbicide use.
No differences were observed in either 2,4-DB degradation rates or in degrader bacteria numbers in the presence and absence
of alfalfa plants, in spite of some differential characteristics in patterns of 2,4-DB metabolite accumulation. The main factor
affecting 2,4-DB degradation rate would be the history of herbicide use, as a consequence of the adaptation of the indigenous
microflora to the presence of herbicides in the field. 相似文献

There is an intimate relationship between nutritional intake (eating) and serotonin activity. Experimental manipulations (mainly neuropharmacological) of serotonin influence the pattern of eating behavior, subjective feelings of appetite motivation, and the response to nutritional challenges. Similarly, nutritional manipulations (food restriction, dieting, or altered nutrient supply) change the sensitivity of the serotonin network. Traditionally, serotonin has been linked to the macronutrient carbohydrate via the intermediary step of plasma amino acid ratios. However, it has also been demonstrated that 5-HT drugs will reduce energy intake and reverse body weight gain in rats exposed to weight increasing high fat diets. 5-HT drugs can also reduce food intake and block weight gain of rats on a high fat cafeteria diet. Some diet selection studies in rats indicate that the most prominent reduction of macronutrient intake is for fat. These data indicate that 5-HT activity can bring about a reduction in fat consumption. In turn, different types of dietary fat can alter brain 5-HT activity. In human studies the methodology of food choice experiments has often precluded the detection of an effect of 5-HT manipulation on fat intake. However, there is evidence that in obese and lean subjects some 5-HT drugs can readily reduce the intake of high fat foods. Data also suggest that 5-HT activation can lead to a selective avoidance of fat in the diet. These effects of 5-HT on the intake of dietary fat may involve a pre-absorptive mechanism and there is evidence that 5-HT is linked to cholecystokinin and enterostatin. These proposals have theoretical and practical implications and suggest possible strategies to intensify or advance fat-induced satiety signals. 相似文献

The diversity of naphthalene dioxygenase genes ( ndo ) in soil environments from the Maritime Antarctic was assessed, dissecting as well the influence of the two vascular plants that grow in the Antarctic : Deschampsia antarctica and Colobanthus quitensis . Total community DNA was extracted from bulk and rhizosphere soil samples from Jubany station and Potter Peninsula, South Shetland Islands. ndo genes were amplified by a nested PCR and analysed by denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis approach (PCR-DGGE) and cloning and sequencing. The ndo- DGGE fingerprints of oil-contaminated soil samples showed even and reproducible patterns, composed of four dominant bands. The presence of vascular plants did not change the relative abundance of ndo genotypes compared with bulk soil. For non-contaminated sites, amplicons were not obtained for all replicates and the variability among the fingerprints was comparatively higher, likely reflecting a lower abundance of ndo genes. The phylogenetic analyses showed that all sequences were affiliated to the nahAc genes closely related to those described for Pseudomonas species and related mobile genetic elements. This study revealed that a microdiversity of nahAc -like genes exists in microbial communities of Antarctic soils and quantitative PCR indicated that their relative abundance was increased in response to anthropogenic sources of pollution. 相似文献

Background
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are enteropathogenic strains identified by the aggregative adhesion (AA) pattern that share the capability to form biofilms. Citrobacter freundii is classically considered as an indigenous intestinal species that is sporadically associated with diarrhea. 相似文献20.
