Since conventional drug susceptibility testing (DST) takes several weeks, we have developed a molecular method for the rapid identification of DR strains of <i>Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (M.tb)</i> utilizing DNA bio-chips. DNA bio-chips were prepared by immobilizing oligonucleotides (probes) on highly microporous polycarbonate track-etched membranes (PC-TEM) as novel support. Bio-chip was designed to contain 15 specific probes to detect mutations in three genes (<i>rpoB, embB, and inhA</i>). A sensitive and specific chemiluminescence based bio-chip assay was developed based on multiplex PCR followed by hybridization on bio-chip. Fifty culture isolates were used to evaluate the ability of in-house developed bio-chip to detect the mutations. Bio-chip analysis shows that 37.7% of samples show wild type sequences, 53.3% of samples were monoresistance showing resistance to either rifampicin (RMP), isoniazid (INH), or ethambutol (EMB). 4.4% of samples were polydrug resistant showing mutations in both the <i>rpoB</i> gene and <i>embB</i> gene while 4.4% of samples were multidrug-resistant (MDR), harboring mutations in the <i>rpoB</i> and <i>inhA</i> genes. The results were compared with DST and sequencing. Compared to sequencing, bio-chip assay shows a sensitivity of 96.5% and specificity of 100% for RMP resistance. For EMB and INH, the results were in complete agreement with sequencing. This study demonstrates the first-time use of PC-TEMs for developing DNA bio-chip for the detection of mutations associated with drug resistance in <i>M.tb</i>.

Results were compared with other laboratory parameters. Antibody bound per cell for mHLA-DR, nCD64 and IDI were measured in 100 COVID-19 patients by flow cytometry within 12 h of hospital admission. Thirty healthy controls (HC) were included. Clinical and laboratory parameters like C - reactive protein (CRP), Procalcitonin (PCT), Absolute Lymphocyte count (ALC), Absolute Neutrophil count (ANC) and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were recorded. Patients were followed up until recovery with discharge or death. Parameters from 54 mild (MCOV-19), 46 severe (SCOV-19) and 30 HC were analysed. mHLA-DR revealed significant and graded down regulation in MCOV-19 and SCOV-19 as compared to HC whereas IDI was lowest in HC with increasing values in MCOV-19 and SCOV-19. For diagnostic discrimination of MCOV-19 and SCOV-19, IDI revealed highest AUC (0.99). All three immune parameters revealed significant difference between survivors (n = 78) and non-survivors (n = 22). mHLA-DR < 7010 and IDI > 12 had significant association with mortality. Four best performing parameters to identify patients with SCOV-19 at higher risk of mortality were IDI, NLR, ALC and PCT. mHLA-DR and IDI, in addition to NLR and ALC at admission and during hospital stay can be utilized for patient triaging, monitoring, early intervention, and mortality prediction.

Genetic polymorphisms in levodopa metabolizing gene, catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT), is shown to influence the inter-individual variability in drug response and adverse events. In the present study, the association of COMT rs6269, rs4633, rs4818, and rs4680 polymorphisms and haplotypes on pharmacokinetics and adverse events with levodopa was investigated in 150 PD patients. The age of onset of PD was 58.00 ± 10 yrs. The most common side effect faced by 78% of the subjects was dyskinesia. The AUC of levodopa was found to be significantly higher in subjects with dyskinesia (1695 ± 113 ng/ml/hr, <i>p</i> < 0.0001) than those without dyskinesia (1550 ± 122 ng/ml/hr). We found that the frequency of subjects presenting dyskinesia was significantly higher in subjects carrying variant genotype of COMT rs6269, rs4633, and rs4680 than that with wild genotype and these subjects presented higher AUC of levodopa. In addition, in subjects with dyskinesia, the AUC of levodopa was found to be significantly higher with low COMT (ACCG) haplotype. The association of COMT rs6269, COMT rs4633, COMT rs4818, and COMT rs4680 variant genotypes with the risk of dyskinesia due to levodopa therapy showed an ROC AUC of 0.67 indicating the moderate prediction of dyskinesia (<i>p</i> = 0.0021) with these COMT variants. In conclusion, PD subjects carrying the variant genotypes of COMT strongly influence high levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Hence the genotyping of COMT before the levodopa therapy will be useful to reduce the adverse events associated with the chronic levodopa treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":13280,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry","volume":"38 2","pages":"262-274"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10070583/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9271403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
