Depending on cell shape, cytoplasm color, and chromatin organization in nucleus, the following types are distinguished: basophilic erythroblasts (69.60±4.01 μm2 , p≤0.05), polychromatophilic erythroblasts (65.42±2.49 μm2 , p≤0.05), and oxyphilic erythroblasts (71.10±4.43 μm2). Formation of cell pool is characteristic for erythropoiesis in birds due to mitotic proliferation of basophilic erythroblasts. There are often proerythroblasts and polychromatophilic erythroblasts. The nucleus of a polychromatophilic proerythroblast contains a large number of histone proteins; therefore, it has an intensely basophilic color with a pronounced oxyphilic hue (proteinrelated oxyphilia). The accumulation of hemoglobin in the protoplasm of these cells contributes to the gradual transition of the basophilic staining of cytoplasm to the oxyphilic one which is typical for mature red blood cells (73.95±2.10 μm2 , p≤0.05). Cell shape and the structure of erythroblast nucleus approaches to these of mature red blood cells.","PeriodicalId":53488,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48460617","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 final goal is the monitoring of glucose concentration in blood to maximize performance in endurance sports. Blood glucose concentration control during and after aerobic physical activity could also be useful to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes mellitus subjects. By means of a low invasive technology known as \"continuous glucose monitoring\", glucose concentration in subcutaneous interstitial tissue can now be measured every five minutes. However, it can be expressed as function of blood glucose concentration along time by means of a convolution integral equation. In the training phase of the proposed approach, based on measurements of glucose concentration in both artery and subcutaneous interstitial tissue during physical activity, the parameters of the convolution kernel are estimated. Then, given a new subject performing aerobic physical activity, a deconvolution problem is solved to estimate glucose concentration in blood from continuous glucose monitoring measurements","PeriodicalId":53488,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45483090","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 review provides information on the most significant developments of the hydroxamate compounds in the medicinal area with a focus on Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and its derivatives with antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antimalarial, antitubercular and anticancer effect and their possible molecular mechanisms. One of the latest favorable developments has been on developing SAHA and its hybrids as potent anti-tuberculosis drugs. Moreover, the combination of the hydroxamic acids with other pharmacophore groups in one molecule can lead to the creation of a huge number of new compounds with promising properties as a multifunctional drug. Also, within the last decade, active research has focused to create these compounds into a class of new antiviral drugs designed to treat influenza, hepatitis C, and other viral infections. Thus, both linear hydroxamic acids and cyclic acids having the uniqueness of the set of bioactive properties, have been compiled here and could be looked forward as the basis for the development of effective drugs and forpilot scale productions through nitrile and amides via chemical and biological transformations using amidase and acyltransferase enzymes. Such synthesis of medicinally significant compounds from amide containing waste derived feedstocks using microbial agents is also a key factor for stimulating bioeconomy.","PeriodicalId":53488,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42116328","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 factors may vary from severe warmth shortage in the North of the region to sharp aridity in the South. Consequently, fast-ripening maize breeding is dictated by limited heat resources. Depending on the growing area and the purpose of the crops (silage or corn), hybrids adapted for the regions must be characterised within the limits of 110 and 170 according to FAO classification. The purpose of the research is to measure ultra-early maize hybrids’ adaptability within forest-meadow and forest steppe zones of the Middle and the South Urals on maize’s growth stability and ripening, crop productivity and grain moisture at harvest. During the period from 1999 to 2019 experimental hybrid combinations and FAO 100-120 type industrial hybrids were assessed. These hybrids were created with the use of a local maize variety of Northern Caucasia, West Siberia and foothill areas of the Republic of Altay as a source material. Local maize varieties of Northern Caucasia, West Siberia and foothill areas of the Republic of Altay were used as initial material to create these hybrids. As a result of these three research phases early blossom maize varieties’ competitive advantages were discovered. These varieties’ grain formation and grain filling last within a favourable temperature background and have their biological ripeness before diurnal temperature achieves biological minimum required for maize growth. This advantage ensures minimum grain moisture at harvest and maximum genetic potentiality’s productivity implementation thanks to grain filling of full value. This advantage also assures high starch content and highly digestible energy concentration in dry matter. It has been established that ultra-early hybrids’ cultivation is the main condition to obtain high energy fodder in northern areas of the Urals despite of minor gross productivity loss. Commercial maize hybrids F1 Koubanskii 101 SV and Koubanskii 102 MV pass development stages from sprouts to ear corn blossom within the limits of 44 to 58 days depending on the vegetation period conditions. These hybrids’ cultivation in forest-steppe areas is of importance to produce dried and canned corn. Forest-meadow cultivation is of importance to obtain high grain canned products and high energy silage","PeriodicalId":53488,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41968689","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 numerous methods have been proposed to correct this issue, the understanding of the differences in PCR efficiencies in clinical samples is limited. In this study, 1185 cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA real-time PCR test results from 106 batches were analyzed. The PCR efficiencies were calculated using the cpD2, maxE, Cy0, maxRatio and window-of-linearity (WoL) methods. The concentrations were calculated using the cpD2, Cy0, maxRatio, WoL, and take off point (TOP) methods. The coefficient of variation (CV) in the efficiency of the quantification standards was less than 5% in all methods. Positive samples with high quantification values demonstrated lower PCR efficiency compared to the quantification standards. This suggests possible inaccuracies in quantification using quantification standards in clinical samples.","PeriodicalId":53488,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41952266","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}

FoxC2 is an important transcription factor that plays many roles in a variety of embryonic developmental processes, including angiogenesis. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the role of the FOXC2 gene variations in the development of familial hemorrhoids and varicose veins in the Jordanian population. Thirty-two samples were collected from eight families manifested hemorrhoids and/or varicose veins conditions. DNA sequencing was performed to screen variation in the FOXC2 gene. Two individuals with severe and early onset of hemorrhoids and varicose veins from the same family showed a frameshift mutation (881'inT) in the coding exon of the FOXC2 gene resulting in a premature stop codon at position +1386 (294 residues truncated peptide).

Causative agents of coronaviruses belong to Nidovirales order, Coronaviridae family which includes 2 subfamilies: Toroviridna (genera Torovirus and Bafinivirus) and Coronaviridna (genera Alphavirus, Betavirus, Gammavirus). Dividing of the latter by genera (groups I-III) was based on serological cross-reactions. Group I includes pathogens causing diseases in animals, such as swine coronavirus, feline infectious peritonitis virus. Group II includes pathogens of veterinary importance, such as BCoV, porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus, horse coronavirus, viruses infecting mice and rats, as well as human coronaviruses that cause respiratory damage. Group III includes at the moment only avian coronaviruses. Coronavirus got its name in 1968 because of its special structure and appearance – it has spikes which resemble solar corona. In humans, coronavirus was first isolated by D. Tyrrell and M. Bynoe in 1965 from a patient with acute respiratory disease. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002, and then Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012 made specialists significantly increase the level of epidemic danger of coronaviruses. Due to its high virulence, virus multiplication rate in macrophages, pathogen replication, and antibody production increase significantly.
