In this study, we describe the natural plasmids present in a product obtained by fermentation of bovine milk and colostrum. We used a microarray consisting in a chip covered in short DNA sequences that are specific to target microorganisms for a total of approximately 12,000 species. As far as plasmids are concerned, the array yielded 48 iterations, each one corresponding to a unique plasmid target. We discuss the putative role of some of these plasmids in contributing to the known properties of probiotics in supporting health and longevity.","PeriodicalId":304005,"journal":{"name":"Madridge Journal of Immunology","volume":"32 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120994423","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}

Although all gliomas originate from neuroepithelial tissues, they vary considerably in morphology, location, genetic alterations and in their response to therapy. The most malignant of gliomas (Grade IV) is Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), causing over 10,000 deaths each year in the US alone. Despite robust therapeutic advances, median survival for GBM still remains 14-20 months with very high tumor recurrence rate. Various investigation modalities are available for establishing diagnosis of glioma, like: CT scan, MRI, X-ray, spinal tap, angiogram, myelogram & biopsy, though, histopathology represents the gold standard for their typing & grading. However, even this remains unsatisfactory because of the lack of reproducibility and absence of precision. Development of objective, diagnostic, prognostic & predictive markers for these lethal neoplasms is therefore a priority. Biomarkers for glioma can be identified in various biological samples like: DNA, mRNA, cell surface receptors, transcription factors, secretory proteins, metabolites or processes such as proliferation, angiogenesis or apoptosis. Tumor biomarkers help oncologists in managing gliomas at various levels, from screening till assessment of longitudinal response to therapy. Identifying the molecular & pathogenetic characteristics of glioma regulation network may increase the precision of customized medication. Further, the proteomic approach has the potential to identify novel diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers. In the near future, improved proteomic profiling is anticipated to bring about a merger of biology, engineering and informatics, with a profound impact on glioma research and treatment. Optimization of experimental design and validation in independent cohorts, improved multiplex proteomic methodologies and bioinformatics tools, and their integration with genetic and metabolomic profiling technologies promise to play critical roles in the post proteomics era of cancer diagnosis and treatment.","PeriodicalId":304005,"journal":{"name":"Madridge Journal of Immunology","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122820766","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}

This latency occurs early during acute infection but remains silent in the host cells; however it is still capable of making infectious proviruses if antiviral therapy is stopped. The goal of HAART therapy is to reduce the replication levels of HIV-1 to undetectable levels in serum of infected individuals. HIV-1 therapy involves the use of multiple drugs because of the ability of the virus to easily acquire drug resistance to an inhibitor. Resistance develops due to the diversity of HIV-1 genome within several individuals. Gene therapy approaches have been shown to be somewhat safer but have not been proven yet in human models. The process of HIV-1 latency is multifactorial and involves several molecular pathways which are still being studied. This study reviews HIV-1 latency as well as its therapeutic implication.","PeriodicalId":304005,"journal":{"name":"Madridge Journal of Immunology","volume":"310 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127493539","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}

We estimate that manual lymphatic massage at the level of deep cervical nodes improves brain lymphatic drainage possibly resulting in decrease of neuroinflammation that is a hallmark of autism. In addition to stimulating lymphatic drainage, we theorize that such an approach may work also as vagus nerve stimulation with the additional benefit of targeting the larynx in a manner similar to that outlined for laryngeal manual therapy. This therapy is utilized for the treatment of dysphonia, and its effects on speech, a function that is typically altered in autism, may contribute to the overall improvement of symptoms. We propose that this type of inexpensive, safe and accessible approach can be beneficial to autistic subjects and constitute a new and promising treatment. We are convinced that the described approach will play a pivotal role in future options for autism treatment, possibly in combination with other therapeutic approaches such as behavioral therapies or nutritional supplementation.","PeriodicalId":304005,"journal":{"name":"Madridge Journal of Immunology","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125442017","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}
