Growth and spore formation of Candida albicans Y-45 was enhanced by low oxygen tension. Mycelium and chlamydospores were abundantly found on rice infusion-Tween 80 agar within 48 to 96 h, and abundant chlamdospore production occurred most rapidly under reduced oxygen tension and incubation at 30 degrees C. Zn, Mg, Mn, anf Fe were tested for their ability to promote filamentation in C. albicans Y-45. Filamentation under conditions of low Mg and high Mn suggested that morphogenesis is possibly correlated with the presence of salts of these heavy metals. 相似文献

Background:
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a subviral human pathogen that exploits host RNA editing activity to produce two essential forms of the sole viral protein, hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg). Editing at the amber/W site of HDV antigenomic RNA leads to the production of the large form (L-HDAg), which is required for RNA packaging.Methods:
In this study, PCR-based site-directed mutagenesis by the overlap extension method was used to create the point mutation converting the small-HDAg (S-HDAg) stop codon to a tryptophan codon through three stages.Results:
Sequencing confirmed the desirable mutation and integrity of the L-HDAg open reading frame. The amplicon was ligated into pcDNA3.1 and transfected to Huh7 and HEK 293 cell lines. Western blot analysis using enhanced chemiluminescence confirmed L-HDAg expression. The recombinant L-HDAg localized within the nuclei of cells as determined by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy.Conclusion:
Because L-HDAg requires extensive post-translational modifications, the recombinant protein expressed in a mammalian system might be fully functional and applicable as a tool in HDV molecular studies, as well as in future vaccine research.Key Words: Hepatitis Delta Virus, L-HDAg, SOEing-PCR 相似文献5.

Dengue, a mosquito-borne disease, is caused by four known dengue serotypes. This infection causes a range of symptoms from a mild fever to a sever homorganic fever and death. It is a serious public health problem in subtropical and tropical countries. There is no specific vaccine currently available for clinical use and study on this issue is ongoing. In this study, bioinformatics approaches were used to predict antigenic, immunogenic, non-allergenic, and conserved B and T-cell epitopes as promising targets to design an effective peptide-based vaccine against dengue virus. Molecular docking analysis indicated the deep binding of the identified epitopes in the binding groove of the most popular human MHC I allele (human leukocyte antigens [HLA] A*0201). The final vaccine construct was created by conjugating the B and T-cell identified epitopes using proper linkers and adding an appropriate adjuvant at the N-terminal. The characteristics of the new subunit vaccine demonstrated that the epitope-based vaccine was antigenic, non-toxic, stable, and soluble. Other physicochemical properties of the new designed construct including isoelectric point value, aliphatic index, and grand average of hydropathicity were biologically considerable. Molecular docking of the engineered vaccine with Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) model revealed the hydrophobic interaction between the adjuvant and the ligand binding regions in the hydrophobic channel of TLR2. The study results indicated the high potential capability of the new multi-epitope vaccine to induce cellular and humoral immune responses against the dengue virus. Further experimental tests are required to investigate the immune protection capacity of the new vaccine construct in animal models.

Objective
To see the changes of cardio-metabolic risk factors overtime in polycystic ovary syndrome vs. control women.Methods
This study was conducted on 637 participants (85 PCOS and 552 control reproductive aged, 18–45 years) of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS), an ongoing population-based cohort study with 12 years of follow-up. The cardiovascular risk factors of these groups were assessed in three-year intervals using standard questionnaires, history taking, anthropometric measures, and metabolic/endocrine evaluation. Generalized estimating equation was used to analyze the data.Results
Overall mean of insulin (3.55, CI: 0.66–6.45), HOMA-IR (0.63, CI: 0.08–1.18), and HOMA-β (45.90, CI: 0.86–90.93) were significantly higher in PCOS than in healthy women after adjustment for age, BMI, and baseline levels. However, the negative interaction (follow-up years × PCOS status) of PCOS and normal women converged overtime. Comparing third follow-up with first, insulin and HOMA-IR decreased 10.6% and 5%, respectively in PCOS women; and increased 6.7% and 14.6%, respectively in controls (P<0.05). The results did not show any significant result for other cardio-metabolic variables including WC, lipid profile, FPG, 2-h PG, SBP, and DBP.Conclusion
While the insulin level and insulin resistance rate were higher in reproductive aged PCOS than in healthy women, the difference of these risk factors decreased overtime. Thus, the metabolic consequences of PCOS women in later life may be lower than those initially anticipated. 相似文献8.

We have developed an integrase-defective lentiviral (LV) vector in combination with a gene-targeting approach for gene therapy
of β-thalassemia. The β-globin gene-targeting construct has two homologous stems including sequence upstream and downstream
of the β-globin gene, a β-globin gene positioned between hygromycin and neomycin resistant genes and a herpes simplex virus
type 1 thymidine kinase (HSVtk) suicide gene. Utilization of integrase-defective LV as a vector for the β-globin gene increased the number of selected clones
relative to non-viral methods. This method represents an important step toward the ultimate goal of a clinical gene therapy
for β-thalassemia. 相似文献

One of the great challenges in science and engineering today is to develop technologies to improve the health of people in the poorest regions of the world. Here we integrated new procedures for manufacturing, fluid handling and signal detection in microfluidics into a single, easy-to-use point-of-care (POC) assay that faithfully replicates all steps of ELISA, at a lower total material cost. We performed this 'mChip' assay in Rwanda on hundreds of locally collected human samples. The chip had excellent performance in the diagnosis of HIV using only 1 μl of unprocessed whole blood and an ability to simultaneously diagnose HIV and syphilis with sensitivities and specificities that rival those of reference benchtop assays. Unlike most current rapid tests, the mChip test does not require user interpretation of the signal. Overall, we demonstrate an integrated strategy for miniaturizing complex laboratory assays using microfluidics and nanoparticles to enable POC diagnostics and early detection of infectious diseases in remote settings. 相似文献
