In the Americas, areas with a high risk of malaria transmission are mainly located in
the Amazon Forest, which extends across nine countries. One keystone step to
understanding the Plasmodium life cycle in Anopheles species from the Amazon Region
is to obtain experimentally infected mosquito vectors. Several attempts to colonise
Ano- pheles species have been conducted, but with only short-lived success or no
success at all. In this review, we review the literature on malaria transmission from
the perspective of its Amazon vectors. Currently, it is possible to develop
experimental Plasmodium vivax infection of the colonised and field-captured vectors
in laboratories located close to Amazonian endemic areas. We are also reviewing
studies related to the immune response to P. vivax infection of Anopheles aquasalis,
a coastal mosquito species. Finally, we discuss the importance of the modulation of
Plasmodium infection by the vector microbiota and also consider the anopheline
genomes. The establishment of experimental mosquito infections with Plasmodium
falciparum, Plasmodium yoelii and Plasmodium berghei parasites that could provide
interesting models for studying malaria in the Amazonian scenario is important.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of the parasites
in New World vectors is crucial in order to better determine the interaction process
and vectorial competence. 相似文献

Structure based virtual screening of ligands to identify cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 antagonist
Srinivas Bandaru Vijaya Kumar Marri Priyadarshani Kasera Purnima Kovuri Amandeep Girdhar Deepti Raj Mittal Sabeen Ikram Ravi GV Anuraj Nayarisseri 《Bioinformation》2014,10(10):652-657
Montelukast and Zafirlukast are known leukotriene receptor antagonists prescribed in asthma treatment. However, these fall short
as mono therapy and are frequently used in combination with inhaled glucocorticosteroids with or without long acting beta 2
agonists. Therefore, it is of interest to apply ligand and structure based virtual screening strategies to identify compounds akin to
lead compounds Montelukast and Zafirlukast. Hence, compounds with structures having 95% similarity to these compounds were
retrieved from NCBI׳s PubChem database. Compounds similar to lead were grouped and docked at the antagonist binding site of
cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1. This exercise identified compounds UNII 70RV86E50Q (Pub Cid 71587778) and Sure CN 9587085
(Pub Cid 19793614) with higher predicted binding compared to Montelukast and Zafirlukast. It is shown that the compound Sure
CN 9587085 showed appreciable ligand receptor interaction compared to UNII 70RV86E50Q. Thus, the compound Sure CN
9587085 is selected as a potent antagonist to cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 for further consideration in vitro and in vivo validation. 相似文献

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was adapted for genomic identification of cell cultures and evaluation of DNA stability in cells of different origin at different culture passages. DNA stability was observed in cultures after no more than 5 passages. Adipose-derived stromal cells demonstrated increased DNA instability. RAPD fragments from different cell lines after different number of passages were cloned and sequenced. The chromosomal localization of these fragments was identified and single-nucleotide variations in RAPD fragments isolated from cell lines after 8–12 passages were revealed. Some of them had permanent localization, while most variations demonstrated random distribution and can be considered as de novo mutations. 相似文献

BackgroundAddition of chemotherapy to radiation has improved 5-year survival by 6%. However, the optimal dose and schedule of concurrent cisplatin is not well defined, though widely accepted practice is the weekly schedule of 40 mg/m2 for 5 weeks. Repeated admissions for weekly cisplatin drain the limited resources in high volume centres. We intended to study the compliance and toxicity of two cisplatin schedules in our patients diagnosed with carcinoma cervix.Materials and methodsBetween 2007–2011, 212 patients, histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma with stages IIB to IIIB were randomized into two arms. All patients were planned for external beam radiotherapy 45 Gy/25 frs over 5 weeks followed by Intracavitary or Interstitial brachytherapy to a total BED dose of 75–85 Gy. Single agent cisplatin given concomitantly, was scheduled weekly (40 mg/m2/cycle, 5 cycles) in an arm A and three weekly (100 mg/m2/cycle, 2 cycles) in an arm B. Toxicity and compliance were evaluated weekly according to the RTOG guidelines. Analysis of the compiled data was done using SSPS version 20.ResultsOf the evaluable 212, 109 patients received weekly cisplatin chemotherapy and 103 patients received three weekly cisplatin. The most common acute toxicity observed was grade I–II leucopoenia. The upper and lower gastrointestinal reactions were high in three weekly arms, which was statistically significant (57% and 42.7%, p < 0.05). Proctitis was observed in 10% of patients in both of the arms and only two patients had Gr1 Cystitis after 6 months of treatment.ConclusionsTri-weekly cisplatin based concurrent chemoradiation can be adopted in high volume centres with manageable haematological and gastrointestinal acute toxicities. 相似文献

Background
Heterologous prime-boost immunization protocols using different gene expression systems have proven to be successful tools in protecting against various diseases in experimental animal models. The main reason for using this approach is to exploit the ability of expression cassettes to prime or boost the immune system in different ways during vaccination procedures. The purpose of the project was to study the ability of recombinant vaccinia virus (VV) and bacterial plasmid, both carrying the NS1 gene from tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus under the control of different promoters, to protect mice against lethal challenge using a heterologous prime-boost vaccination protocol. 相似文献6.

To reconstruct intraoral lining defects after radical tumor resection by reinnervated vascularized mucosa, eight distal radial forearm flaps and two fibula flaps were prelaminated. Prelamination was performed by exposing the vascularized fascia, onto which the split distal end of a sural graft was fixed. The fascia and the sural nerve graft were covered by device-meshed mucosa or small full-thickness mucosa pieces. These structures again were covered by a Silastic sheet as large as the future flap, and the wound was closed by the elevated skin and subcutaneous tissue. Coverage by a Silastic sheet enabled mucosal spreading on the fascia, and the final flaps were thin, mucus-producing, and larger than the originally inserted mucosa. The 10 neuromucosal prelaminated flaps were harvested together with the inserted sural nerve graft after 8 to 10 weeks. During this time, the patient underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Donor sites were closed directly by the preserved skin and subcutaneous tissue. Intraoral defects were reconstructed successfully by eight neuromucosal prelaminated distal radial forearm flaps and two neuromucosal prelaminated fibula flaps. The sural nerve grafts, inserted between the fascia and the mucosa, were coaptated eight times with the lingual nerve and two times with the inferior alveolar nerve. Intended reinnervation of the mucosa could already be proved clinically and histologically in the first two patients after 11 and 9 months. Preservation of skin and subcutaneous tissue considerably lowered donor-site morbidity. Neuromucosal prelamination enables reconstruction of intraoral lining defects by reinnervated mucus-producing tissue. Reconstruction of other mucosa-lined structures by this method seems feasible. Avoidance of skin islands for reconstruction lowers donor-site morbidity. 相似文献

Background
The genus Morus, known as mulberry, is a dioecious and cross-pollinating plant that is the sole food for the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori. Traditional methods using morphological traits for classification are largely unsuccessful in establishing the diversity and relationships among different mulberry species because of environmental influence on traits of interest. As a more robust alternative, PCR based marker assays including RAPD and ISSR were employed to study the genetic diversity and interrelationships among twelve domesticated and three wild mulberry species. 相似文献8.
Collagenase-3 (matrix metalloproteinase-13) is a metalloproteinase (MMP) that is associated with bone lesions and exhibits variable expression patterns in odontogenic cysts; it may play a role in regulating focal proliferation and maturation of jaw cyst epithelium. We studied the localization, staining intensity and distribution of collagenase-3 in 13 periapical granulomas with epithelium, 16 periapical granulomas without epithelium and 10 radicular cysts using archived formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues. A monoclonal antibody against human collagenase-3 was used to evaluate its expression. Immunohistochemical staining intensities of collagenase-3 in all periapical lesions were (?), 4 (10%); (+), 1 (3%); (++), 22 (56%) and (+++), 12 (31%); differences were not statistically significant. Immunohistochemical distribution of collagenase-3 in epithelial cells was (?), 17 (44%); (+), 17 (44%); (++), 5 (13%); in fibroblasts it was (?), 8 (20%); (+), 23 (59%); (++), 8 (21%); in plasma cells it was (?), 7 (18%); (+), 22 (56%); (++), 10 (26%); in macrophages it was (?), 7 (18%); (+), and 15 (38%); and (++), 17 (44%). Statistically significant differences were found in epithelial cells (p = 0.00) and fibroblasts (p = 0.02), whereas differences were not statistically significant for plasma cells and macrophages. Collagenase-3 may play a role in the conversion of a periapical granuloma with epithelium to radicular cyst. MMP's influence not only epithelial rest cell migration, but also invasion of various stromal cells into granulomatous tissue. 相似文献

Next-generation sequencing(NGS) technologies have made high-throughput sequencing available to medium- and small-size laboratories, culminating in a tidal wave of genomic information. The quantity of sequenced bacterial genomes has not only brought excitement to the field of genomics but also heightened expectations that NGS would boost antibacterial discovery and vaccine development. Although many possible drug and vaccine targets have been discovered, the success rate of genome-based analysis has remained below expectations. Furthermore, NGS has had consequences for genome quality, resulting in an exponential increase in draft(partial data) genome deposits in public databases. If no further interests are expressed for a particular bacterial genome, it is more likely that the sequencing of its genome will be limited to a draft stage, and the painstaking tasks of completing the sequencing of its genome and annotation will not be undertaken. It is important to know what is lost when we settle for a draft genome and to determine the "scientific value" of a newly sequenced genome. This review addresses the expected impact of newly sequenced genomes on antibacterial discovery and vaccinology. Also, it discusses the factors that could be leading to the increase in the number of draft deposits and the consequent loss of relevant biological information. 相似文献

Nucleolar organizer regions are nucleolar components that contain proteins that are stained selectively by silver methods; they can be identified as black dots throughout the nucleolus and are known as silver binding nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR). The number of AgNOR is related to the cell cycle and the proliferative activity of the cells. We investigated AgNOR using exfoliative cytology smears of potentially malignant oral lesions. Eighty individuals were divided into four equal groups: healthy controls, oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis and oral squamous cell carcinoma. The mean number of AgNOR in each study group gradually increased from control to oral leukoplakia to oral submucous fibrosis to oral squamous cell carcinoma. The proliferative index was increased in the oral premalignant and malignant patients compared to normal subjects. The mean AgNOR size gradually increased from control to oral leukoplakia to oral submucous fibrosis to oral squamous cell carcinoma. Spherical shaped AgNOR were most common in controls, whereas large, clustered and kidney shapes were most common in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Multiparameter analysis of AgNOR in oral exfoliative smears is a simple, sensitive and cost-effective method for differentiating premalignant from malignant lesions and can be used in conjunction with routine cytomorphological evaluation. 相似文献
