Muscle Biological Characteristics of Differentially Expressed Genes in Wujin and Landrace Pigs

The biological chemistry would be responsible for the meat quality. This study tried to investigate the transcript expression profile and explain the characteristics of differentially expressed genes between the Wujin and Landrace pigs. The results showed that 526 differentially expressed genes were found by comparing the transcript expression profile of muscle tissue between Wujin and Landrace pigs. Among them, 335 genes showed up-regulations and 191 genes showed down-regulations in Wujin pigs compared with the Landrace pigs. Gene ontology （GO） analysis indicated that the differentially expressed genes were clustered into three groups involving in protein synthesis, energy metabolism and immune response. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） pathway analysis found that these differentially expressed genes participated in protein synthesis metabolism, energy metabolism and immune response pathway. The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery （DAVID） analysis of protein function and protein domains function also confirmed that differentially expressed genes belonged to protein synthesis, energy metabolism and immune response. Genes related protein synthesis metabolism pathway in Landrace was higher than in Wujin pigs. However, differentially expressed genes related energy metabolism and immune response was up-regulated in Wujin pigs compared with Landrace pigs. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR on selected genes was used to confirm the results from the microarray. These suggested that the genes related to protein synthesis, energy metabolism and immune response would contribute to the growth performance, meat quality as well as anti-disease capacity.

Evaluating the Efficiency and Determinants of Efficiency of Rural Health Centers Situated in Punjab, Pakistan

This study calculates the efficiency of Rural Health Centers (RHCs) and investigates the impact of other variables affecting the efficiency of RHCs. The study considers 29 RHCs, 13 of District Faisalabad, 9 of Toba and 7 of Jhang;a survey was conducted to collect data from each RHC for the year 2016. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model was utilized to get the scores for efficiency. Thereafter, after getting the results from DEA Tobit regression was used in the second stage. Out of the 29 Rural Health Centers, only 11 (38%) are working efficiently as compare to others. Distance from the tehsil headquarter, Distance from the road with “0” probability, Distance from private hospital with “0” probability, Behavior of the staff with “0.0064” probability and laboratory equipment’s with “0” probability, have an impact on the efficiency scores. Distance from other health facilitators, Staff’s behavior, list of medicine and equipment’s used at RHCs should be improved to increase the efficiency of RHC’s.

Structural Relief System Construction in China Based on the Experience of the USA

The USA has already established the perfect structural relief system framework with perfect related research and legislative and judicial practice. Compared with the USA,the structural relief system is far from perfection on the legislative level and the judicial level.With the implementing of Centralized Examination Methods for Operators and Temporary Provisions of Concentrated Assets and Business Stripping of Operators,the structural relief system in China has been preliminarily established. However,from the technical level,microcosmic element pillar system related to stripping system has not been established yet. According to the experience in law enforcement in the USA,China shall also formulate Handbook on Implementing Relief System in the Antitrust Scrutiny of Operators to provide helpful guide for the structural relief system in China.

SPECIAL ISSUE： INCOME INEQUALITY IN CHINA Inter-industry Inequality： An Important Source of the Urban Income Gap--Regression-based Decomposition

基于回归方程的收入差距分解发现，1988年、1995年和2002年，行业间收入不平等对中国城镇居民收入差距的贡献越来越大，而且这主要是由一些收入迅速提高的垄断行业造成的。同时，区位、教育、所有制和职业类型以及是否有第二职业对收入差距的贡献也在提高，是否完全就业和年龄对收入差距的贡献明显下降。因此，缩小中国城镇收入差距，亟需打破劳动力市场进入壁垒和产品市场行业垄断。此外，减轻地区间的劳动力流动障碍、普遍提高劳动者的受教育水平等措施也将是未来政府缩小城镇收入差距的重要政策着力点。
