Liposomes have been well established as an effective drug delivery system, due to simplicity of their preparation and unique characteristics. However conventional liposomes are unsuitable for the on-demand content release, which limits therapeutic utility. Here we report X-ray-triggerable incorporating gold nanoparticles photosensitizer verteporfin. The 6 MeV X-ray radiation induces verteporfin produce singlet oxygen, destabilises liposomal membrane causes release cargos from cavity. This...

Nested PCR is considered a sensitive and specific method for detecting malaria parasites especially useful in epidemiological surveys. However, the preparation of DNA templates often time-consuming costly. A simplified was developed to directly use small blood filter paper square (2 × 2 mm) as template after treatment with saponin. This paper-based nested (FP-PCR) compared microscopy standard extracted by using Qiagen mini kit from spots 204 febrile cases. The FP-PCR technique further...

As a secreted fluid, the state of tear glycosylation is particularly important in role immunity ocular surface. Tears are valuable source non-invasive biomarkers for disease and there continued efforts to characterize their components thoroughly. In this study, small volume basal tears (5 μL) was collected from healthy controls, patients with diabetes without retinopathy retinopathy. The detailed N- O-linked protein glycome characterized relative abundance each structure determined. Of 50...

Cellular senescence is associated with aging and considered a potential contributor to age-associated neurodegenerative disease. Exposure ionizing radiation increases the risk of developing premature neurovascular degeneration dementia but also induces senescence. As cells cerebrovascular endothelium are particularly susceptible play an important role in brain homeostasis, we investigated radiation-induced microvascular endothelial (EC). Using biotinylation label surface proteins,...

The Greater Mekong Subregion is aiming to achieve regional malaria elimination by 2030. Though a shift in parasite species predominance Plasmodium vivax has been recently documented, the transmission of two minor species, malariae and ovale spp., poorly characterized region. This study aims determine prevalence these China–Myanmar border area their genetic diversity. Epidemiology was conducted during passive case detection hospitals clinics Myanmar four counties China along border....
