The present study was performed to detect the presence of virulence traits among the clinical strains of Enterococci and to determine its association between virulence factors   and susceptibility to various antibiotics.\u0000 \u0000Materials and Methods: Clinical isolates of Enterococci were identified to species level by conventional method and Vitek 2 automated method and subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing using disk diffusion and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method. Presence of hemolysin, gelatinase and biofilm was detected by phenotypic method.\u0000 \u0000Results: Out of 708 isolates from urine 39 (5.51%) Enterococcus faecalis, and 3 isolates each of Enterococcus faecium (0.42 %) and Enterococcus durans (0.42 %) were biofilm producers. Beta hemolysin production was detected in 342 (48.30%) E. faecalis obtained from urine and 9/48 (18.75 %) from pus. Out of the isolates studied, 9/774 (1.16 %) isolates were found to be positive for beta-hemolysin production, gelatinase and biofilm production. All the 9 (100.00 %) isolates were resistant to penicillin, high level gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin.\u0000 \u0000Conclusion: Virulence factors described in Enterococci enable these organisms to colonise patient tissue, increase resistance to antimicrobial agents and aggravate infection outcome.","PeriodicalId":51650,"journal":{"name":"BioMedicine-Taiwan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48602113","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}

The chief domain of research has revolved around thin endometrial lining, diminished ovarian content, recurrent implantation failure ailments etc. This article has focused on reviewing existing articles till now on the aetiology of PRP along with methodologies and results in reproductive aberrational conditions. Restrictive research is conducted from Scopus and Web of Science indexed journals, PubMed focusing on the deployment of PRP in infertility science and categorized the result under 3 genres: PRP in refractory attenuated endometrium, PRP in female gonadal abnormalities and PRP in Asherman’s syndrome. Most literature has shown promising results in improvement of thin endometrium, along with increase in AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) level along with decrement of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) level, thereby improving ovarian reserve. It also showed reduced adhesion in the uterus after hysteroscopy, along with improvement in the menstrual cycle in case of Asherman’s syndrome, thereby increasing chances of clinical pregnancy. However, lack of standardized protocol is a major con in variation of results. Thus, until conclusive RCTs with larger sample size are conducted, PRP should be restricted to the experimental stage for now.","PeriodicalId":51650,"journal":{"name":"BioMedicine-Taiwan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45501343","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}

MS pathophysiology is not yet explained up to the mark, which is the cause of difficulty and complexity in treating the illness. Most present-day scenarios are engrossed in inhibiting central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. However, this is not enough, hence the present study aims at finding best neuroprotective treatment without adverse effects.\u0000 \u0000Materials and Methods: In silico attempt to validate the phytocompounds from Nigella sativa and showcase their use for targeting the neuroprotective mechanism involved in management of MS by finding the key potential genes which were derived from mRNA datasets of previous research. Various bioinformatics tools and software such as GEO, String, ShinyGO, PyRx were used to carry out the current study. The leading steps involve retrieval of targets from mRNA datasets, molecular docking of phytocompounds with the targets and pharmacological analysis.\u0000 \u0000Results: These phytocompounds from seeds of N. sativa showed promising results as therapeutic agents against target genes RPL27, RPS14 and FAU for management of MS during current in silico study, but any treatment prior its clinical practice should validate with large robust data, which lies as the future prospective here.\u0000 \u0000Conclusion: In summary notable progress in management of MS with better understanding of pathology has been made and many disease modifying therapies (DMT) are made available but the question of safety and efficacy is still challenging due to adverse effects associated with these therapies. Hence properties of N. sativa must be explored as a therapeutic agent that can reduce the neuronal degeneration.","PeriodicalId":51650,"journal":{"name":"BioMedicine-Taiwan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42991282","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}

Nephroprotective herbs are protective against nephrotoxicity. Tinospora cordifolia is known for its role in treating diabetes and disorders of the kidney and metabolism.

The aim is to study the nephroprotective effect of Tinospora cordifolia on drug induced nephrotoxic changes upon co-administration of the herb with nephrotoxicity induction by the drug.\u0000 \u0000Materials and Methods: Ethanolic extract of the stem of Tinospora cordifolia was prepared and evaluated for phytochemical constituents.
