Today, many real-time PCR systems differ in the thermal block, the excitation source, the fluorescence detection system, and the data analysis software. Therefore, using different systems may affect the detection limit of biological samples. Our study aims to optimize the threshold to ensure the amplification efficiency (E) and correlation coefficient (R2) of the standard curve used to quantify LINE-1 methylation on three real-time PCR systems, including: Applied Biosystems™ 7500, QuantStudio™5 Dx; and abCyclerQ (AIT Biotech). We determined a proper threshold to build a standard curve on the three systems, which ensures the correlation coefficient (R2) and the amplification efficiency (R2 > 0.999, E ≥ 95%). Therefore, it is possible to use interchangeably in Applied Biosystems™ 7500, QuantStudio™5 Dx, and abCyclerQ (AIT Biotech) in LINE-1 methylation analysis.

In the development process of these nations, folk medicine has played an important role in people’s healthcare, especially in the primary healthcare system, due to their availability and suitability for the people’s demands with rational expense. WHO recognizes the role of traditional medicine in people’s healthcare and encourages its member nations to enhance the role of traditional medicine in their healthcare systems. On that basis, many countries have developed policies to heritage, enhance, and strengthen the use of traditional medicine in medical practice. Among these policies, contents related to inaugurating a list of traditional medicines reimbursed by the Health Insurance Authority play a very important role. This study gives an overview of the experiences and processes in establishing the List of traditional medicines reimbursed by Health Insurance Authorities from China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Pancreatic lipase (PL) is the major enzyme secreted by the pancreas that has a direct effect on the formation of monoglycerides and free fatty acids. Inhibition of pancreatic lipase enzyme helps to break down fat, reduce kCal, and lose weight. Coumarins are a group of compounds that are active in obesity. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate and screen coumarin compounds effective in inhibiting lipase enzyme by molecular docking method. As a result, we obtained eight compounds showing lower binding energy values than the positive control Orlistat and satisfying drug-like properties when evaluating the Lipinski rule of five. After that, these compounds continued to analyze pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties (ADMET) to obtain three compounds with the best results: Peucenidin, Edultin, and Xanthalin with good intestinal absorption, well distributed to tissues, metabolized by the liver, hepatic metabolism, renal excretion, and low toxicity. Therefore, further in vivo and in vitro studies are needed to develop drugs for the treatment of obesity.

Therefore, a sustained-release CLR tablet is necessary. Based on Klacid MR tablets (AbbVie) composed of citric acid and sodium alginate (Na-ALG), we developed a 24-hour extended-release CLR tablet. Although citric acid had a significant effect on the CLR release profile, the incompatibility of citric acid and CLR was reported (via FT-IR and stability study). Based on the function of Na-ALG in controlling the release and reducing the incompatibility of citric acid and CLR, a process (CLR and citric acid were granulated separately) was proposed. The final tablet formulation showed 1-month stability and dissolution similarity to standard tablets in pH 6.8 medium (f2 > 50).

Supersaturable SEDDS have been developed to increase the efficiency of active ingredient loading by incorporating precipitation inhibitors (PIs) into SEDDS that help maintain the supersaturated state, preventing drug precipitation in the gastrointestinal tract. Due to these benefits, SEDDS have been studied and applied in drugs and cosmetics in various dosage forms including solidification (S-SEDDS) by different techniques to create powder, granules, pellets to apply to tablets, hard capsules as well as soft capsules, lotions, and some other semi-solid dosage forms...

This approach serves to enhance the overall quality of the population and mitigate the severe consequences associated with birth defects. Prenatal screening encompasses various techniques, including epidemiological investigations, fetal imaging ultrasound, maternal blood screening, and amniotic fluid screening by karotype technique. The process involves extracting fetal chromosomes from cells present in the amniotic fluid, followed by cell culture and hypotonic treatment. Subsequently, these chromosomes are stained with G-band and examined under a microscope. The results obtained from prenatal screening in a sample of 121 patients, with an average age of 32 ± 6.69, indicated that 21% of pregnant women had experienced a miscarriage, 23.1% had previously given birth to a malformed baby, 8.3% of families had a genetic disease, and 5% of parents exhibited chromosomal abnormalities. Among the 51 patients screened using the Double test, 26.45% of fetuses exhibited a high risk of birth defects, whereas the Tripple test identified a high risk in 9.09% of the 19 cases. Chromosome analysis of the 121 cases revealed that 15.7% of the fetuses exhibited chromosomal abnormalities, with Edwards syndrome accounting for 5.78%, Down syndrome accounting for 4.96%, chromosomal abnormalities accounting for 3.30%, Patau syndrome accounting for 0.83%, and Turner syndrome accounting for 0.83%. Age over 35 years (r = 0.08 and OR = 0.63), history of miscarriage (r = 0.05 and OR = 1.38), family history of hereditary disease (r = 0.04 and OR = 1.38), and parental chromosomal mutations (r = 0.01 and OR = 1.08) were all found to have a strong positive correlation with fetal abnormalities. Additionally, positive correlations were observed between the results of ultrasound screening (r = 0.22 and OR = 5.48) and blood screening (r = 0.14 and OR = 1.22). \u0000Prenatal screening, Amniocentesis, Karyotype, Chromosome, fetal chromosome. \u0000  \u0000  \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":23520,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85982986","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}
