Abstract Transforming growth factor- β 1 (TGF- ) is an important regulator of fibrogenesis in heart disease. In many other cellular systems, TGF- may also induce autophagy, but a link between its fibrogenic and autophagic effects unknown. Thus we tested whether or not -induced autophagy has regulatory function on fibrosis human atrial myofibroblasts (hATMyofbs). Primary hATMyofbs were treated with to assess for responses. Using immunoblotting, immunofluorescence transmission electron...
The antimicrobial effects of garlic, ginger, carrot and turmeric pastes against Escherichia coli O157:H7 in laboratory buffer model food system were investigated. Turmeric paste, fresh carrot, ginger garlic from roots, commercial paste heated alone or with buffered peptone water (BPW) ground beef at 70°C for 7 min. All samples inoculated a three strain cocktail overnight cultures E. O157: H7 stored 4°C 8°C 2 weeks. Each exhibited different BPW Commercial showed the strongest activity...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are amongst the most common described in outpatient settings. Increased antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of urinary pathogens is a matter global public health concern. Treatment UTI depends on both prevalence and causative bacteria at any specific geographical location.This study was undertaken to compare uropathogens their AMR profile two different parts India.Clean-catch mid-stream urine samples were collected from adult patients, bacterial flora isolated...
The prevalence of drug resistance (DR) mutations in people with HIV-1 infection, particularly those low-level viremia (LLV), supports the need to improve sensitivity amplification methods for HIV DR genotyping order optimize antiretroviral regimen and facilitate surveillance relevant research. Here we report on a fully validated PCR-based protocol that achieves consistent protease (PR) reverse transcriptase (RT) regions pol gene across many subtypes from LLV plasma samples. HIV-spiked...
