A total of 119 endocervical swabs were isolated from infertile women at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vietnam, during the period from January 2020 to December 2021, and was diagnosed with Chlamydiatrachomatis infection. 81 sequences of the ompA gene with a size of approximately 1,100 bp were used to determine the Chlamydia trachomatis genotypes by the currently reference sequences from GenBank. Sequence analysis of the ompA gene from the 81 positive patients showed nine genotypes, including E, D/Da, F, G/Ga, J, H, K, B/Ba, and I/Ia. In that, E, D/Da, and F were most prevalent (61.74%). Genotypes E, F, and G/Ga were highly conserved, showing 100% similarity to the alternative reference sequences, whereas ompA sequences of genotypes B/Ba, D/Da, H, I/Ia, J, and K displayed from one to ten nucleotide substitutions. In total, nineteen nucleotide changes were detected, seven of which led to amino-acid substitutions. The findings of the current study showed high prevalence of the genotypes E, D/Da, and F of C. trachomatis in infertile Vietnamese women.","PeriodicalId":18650,"journal":{"name":"Ministry of Science and Technology, Vietnam","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140432076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, coating cotton fabrics with water-repellent polysiloxane is a special requirement for outdoor and protective clothing products. The effects of polysiloxane content on the water resistance and mechanical properties of materials were studied. The morphology of coated cotton fabric was characterised by SEM (Scanning electron microscope), and EDX (Energy dispersive X-ray) was used to determine the presence of polysiloxane on the surface of cotton fabric. The effects of polysiloxane content on the water resistance and mechanical properties of materials were studied. Compared with raw cotton fabrics, the tensile strength of the cotton fabrics impregnated with 20%wt polysiloxane solution increased, but the elongation at break was reduced. The hydrostatic pressure (AATCC 127) and water spray test (AATCC 22) results showed that the water repellence of polysiloxane-coated cotton fabrics increased significantly compared to pure cotton fabrics. In addition, the polysiloxane content has no almost effect on the water repellency of the material.

Therefore, it is necessary to use molecular methods based on DNA markers. ITS is a highly conservative nuclear ribosomal marker that has been widely used in the identification of plant species. In this study, the ITS2 marker was used to identify 8 herbal medicinal materials, including 2 samples of polyscias(DLTN, DLBG), 2 samples of morinda (BKTN, BKQN), 2 samples of black zingiber (GDTN, GDYB) and 2 samples of black curcuma (NDTN, NDYB).
