Nutritional anemia is one of India's major public health problems. The prevalence ranges from 33% to 89% among pregnant women and more than 60% adolescent girls. Under the prevention control program Government India, iron folic acid tablets are distributed women, but no such exists for girls.To assess status girls 16 districts 11 states India.A two-stage random sampling method was used select 30 clusters on basis probability proportional size. Anemia diagnosed by estimating hemoglobin...

Escherichia coli has eight genes predicted to encode sulfurtransferases having the active site consensus sequence Cys-Xaa-Xaa-Gly. One of these genes, ybbB, is frequently found within bacterial operons that contain selD, selenophosphate synthetase gene, suggesting a role in selenium metabolism. We show ybbB required vivo for specific substitution sulfur 2-thiouridine residues E. tRNA. This modified tRNA nucleoside, 5-methylaminomethyl-2-selenouridine (mnm(5)se(2)U), located at wobble...

Francisella tularensis is a zoonotic, Gram-negative coccobacillus that causes tularemia in humans and animals. F. subspecies (type A) holarctica B) are antigenically similar more virulent than novicida humans. The genetic locus encodes the LPS O antigen was found to be substantially different between type B live vaccine strain (LVS) novicida. One LVS-specific gene with homology galactosyl transferase selected for allelic replacement using sacB–chloramphenicol expression suicide plasmid,...

Every physical abnormal criterion has an impact on the health. Late menopause causes different physiological problems which alike early menopause. The research interest is associated with both and late menopausal women of Bangladesh as only few studies available in South East Asia especially Bangladesh. aims this study are not to assess symptoms abnormality but also determine these quality life (QOL) female society

Abstract Most BRAF ‐mutant melanoma patients experience a fulminate relapse after several months of treatment with BRAF/MEK inhibitors. To improve therapeutic efficacy, natural plant‐derived compounds might be considered as potent additives. Here, we show that magnolol, constituent Magnolia officinalis , induced G1 arrest, apoptosis and cell death in BRAF‐ NRAS‐ mutant cells at low concentration, no effect NRAS wild‐type human keratinocytes. This was confirmed 3D spheroid model. The...

Aim: To investigate the integrated epigenetic regulation of acquired drug resistance in cancer. Materials & methods: Our gene expression data five induced drug-tolerant cell models, one resistant line and publicly available drug-resistant dataset were to identify common differentially expressed genes pathways. ChIP-seq DNA methylation by HM450K beadchip used study profile differential genes. Results conclusion: Integrated transcriptomic analysis identified a 'viral mimicry' related signature...

Abstract Azadirachta indica (Neem) is very useful traditional medicinal plant in the subcontinent. Each part of tree has some properties. In this present studies bioactivity and antimicrobial activity leaf extract was evaluated. For bioactivity, Brine shrimp lethality test done for A. ethanolic determined LC50 37.15 μg/ml indicating that prepared rich bioactive compounds. Ethanolic also used to evaluate antibacterial exhibited significant against tested bacterial strain. However, inhibitory...

Abstract Background Detection of minor DNA allele alterations is becoming increasingly important for early detection and monitoring cancer. We describe a new method that uses ultraviolet light to eliminate wild-type alleles enables improved genetic or epigenetic changes. Methods Pyrimidine-dependent UV-based minor-allele enrichment (PD-UVME) employed oligonucleotide probes incorporated UVA-sensitive 3-cyanovinylcarbazole (CNVK), placed directly opposite interrogated pyrimidines, such as...

201 Background: Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (CCL2 or MCP-1), a chemokine secreted by monocytic cells, is critical in recruiting T reg and MDSCs into the tumor microenvironment regulating prostate cancer (PCa) migration proliferation. In this study, we examined circulating CCL2 levels healthy vs PCa patients used an vitro coculture model to identify source of elevated CCL2. Methods: Serum concentrations were evaluated via ELISA 59 (19 health controls, 20 “treatment naïve” PCa, mCRPC)....
