CSOM has a fairly high incidence in developing countries and is the main cause of acquired hearing loss in children.

This study aimed to analyze TNF-α levels in ear discharge and blood serum in active phase CSOM caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.Materials and Methods: This research was an analytical observational study with a cross sectional design. Blood serum and ear discharge from CSOM patients were used in this study. Blood serum and ear discharge TNF-α levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: From 26 CSOM subjects, 13 subjects were infected with Gram-positive bacteria and the 13 others were infected with Gram-negative bacteria. The majority of the subjects were male (53.8%) with an age range from 36-45 years (42.3%). The most common species of bacteria was Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between maternal FUT2 204A>G (rs492602) genetic polymorphism and CHD in the Indian population.Materials and method: One hundred and ten pregnant women who were vitamin B12 deficient with fetuses diagnosed with CHD were included in the case group and an equal number of healthy pregnant women with normal fetuses were selected as the control group. DNA was extracted from blood and umbilical cord tissue samples, and genotyped for FUT2 rs492602 polymorphism using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction.

Even though the number of pneumonia cases is relatively high and has become a global problem, there is still no vaccine available to prevent this disease. This study was aimed to design a multi-epitope vaccine design through an in silico approach, against K. pneumoniae.Materials and method: Vaccine candidate was constructed based on proteins of K. pneumoniae. These proteins were analyzed to identify the antigens sequence for multi-epitope vaccine design. The constructed vaccine was predicted for allergenicity, toxicity, population coverage, and its physicochemical properties. The vaccine structure was then docked with the toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) molecule to show the interaction. Expression analysis and cloning of the constructed vaccine was carried out in the pET-28a vector using SnapGene.Results: The vaccine was 567 amino acids long, consisting of Cholera Toxin Subunit B as an adjuvant, 6 B-cell epitopes, 11 cytotoxic T-cell epitopes, and 10 helper T-cell epitopes connected with the appropriate linker. Epitopes analysis showed that the vaccine will be a non-toxic, has high antigenicity, but non-allergenic. The vaccine was predicted to be stable, hydrophilic, and had a low risk of triggering autoimmune response. The vaccine molecule was compatible to humans TLR2 molecule. Furthermore, visualization of the candidate vaccine protein on pET-28a showed that the vaccine protein might be expressed correctly.Conclusion: The construction of multi-epitope vaccine has been developed, which might be a good vaccine candidate, containing 6 B-cell epitopes, 11 CTL epitopes, and 10 HTL epitopes. The construct may help scientists to experimentally formulate multi-epitope vaccine against K. pneumoniae in the future.Keywords: in silico, Klebsiella pneumoniae, multi-epitope, vaccine ","PeriodicalId":53387,"journal":{"name":"MCBS Molecular and Cellular Biomedical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89940074","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}

Even so, the profile of LDHB relevance in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) remains ambiguous. Hence this study analyzed the expression and co-expression profile of LDHB, and its immune correlation in COAD.Materials and method: The mRNA expression and co-expression of LDHB in COAD were retrieved from UALCAN. The immune infiltration levels of LDHB from B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells in COAD were assessed using the TIMER database. For assessing gene ontology and the KEGG pathway, DAVID v6.8 was utilized. The protein-protein interaction of LDHB-correlated genes was analyzed using STRINGDB and Cytoscape.Results: Significantly high expression of LDHB in COAD was spotted in several sample types and associated with a poor overall survival rate. Further, LDHB corresponded to the level of CD4+, macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) immune infiltrating cells. The co-expression of LDHB was associated with several essential genes for cell cycle progression.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate an upcoming involvement of LDHB in COAD tumorigenesis and prognosis.
