p53 binding protein 1 (53BP1), a proposed to function as transcriptional coactivator of the tumor suppressor, has BRCT domains with high homology Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad9p DNA damage checkpoint protein. To examine whether 53BP1 role in cellular response damage, we probed its intracellular localization by immunofluorescence. In untreated primary cells and U2OS osteosarcoma cells, exhibited diffuse nuclear staining; whereas, within 5-15 min after exposure ionizing radiation (IR),...
Conjugation of drugs with antibodies to surface endothelial antigens is a potential strategy for drug delivery endothelium. We studied platelet-endothelial adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1, stably expressed antigen) as carriers vascular immunotargeting. Although 125 I-labeled anti-PECAM bound cells in culture, the antibody was poorly internalized by and accumulated after intravenous administration mice rats. However, conjugation biotinylated (b-anti-PECAM) streptavidin (SA) markedly stimulated...
This article describes the selection of priority indicators for adolescent (10-19 years) health measurement proposed by Global Action Measurement Adolescent advisory group and partners, building on previous work identifying 33 core areas mapping 413 across these areas.The indicator process considered inputs from a broad range stakeholders through structured four-step approach: (1) definition criteria scoring; (2) development draft list with metadata; (3) collection public feedback survey;...
Background Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) account for a large disease burden in sub-Saharan Africa. While the general cost-effectiveness of NTD interventions to improve health outcomes has been assessed, few studies have also accounted financial and education gains investing control. Methods We built on extended analysis (ECEA) methods assess (e.g. infections, disability-adjusted life years or DALYs averted), household (out-of-pocket expenditures (cases school absenteeism averted) five...
Public policies often aim to improve welfare, economic injustice and reduce inequality, particularly in the social protection, labour, health education sectors. While these frequently operate silos, sphere can as a cross-sectoral link. Schools represent unique locus, with globally hundreds of millions children attending class every day. A high-profile policy example is school feeding, over 400 million students worldwide receiving meals schools. The benefits harmonising interventions across...
School health and nutrition (SHN) interventions are among the most ubiquitous public investments comprise a key mechanism for reaching populations that otherwise difficult to reach through system. Despite critical role of monitoring these multisectoral programs enable data-informed adaptive programming, information guide program implementers is scant. This manuscript provides an overview how indicators can be selected across SHN program's logical framework, with specific examples five...
The African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) has been described as one of the most successful public-private partnerships health in Africa [1]. helps governments 20 onchocerciasis-endemic countries to develop sustainable delivery ivermectin treatment order control and eliminate river blindness [2]. APOC is a very few programs that WHO implements directly, this case through Regional Office (AFRO) Secretariat established Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. As Executing Agency APOC,...
