Pan, Xiangyi Liu","doi":"10.35248/2379-1764.20.8.268","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35248/2379-1764.20.8.268","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Oxidative stress is closely related to many diseases, especially autoimmune diseases. Many previous studies have shown that there is a close relationship between oxidative stress and the development of hyperthyroidism, but the oxidative stress indicators in patients with hyperthyroidism and the correlation between oxidative indicators and lipid metabolism remain controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of three oxidative stress indicators Diacron Reactive Oxygen Metabolites, Biological Antioxidant Potential and Superoxide Dismutase (DROM, BAP and SOD) in hyperthyroidism patients and healthy controls, and their relationship with the severity of hyperthyroidism and lipid metabolism. Methods: 119 healthy individuals and 78 hyperthyroidism patients were included in this study. Automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect three indicators of oxidative stress (BAP, SOD and DROM), three indicators of thyroid function (TSH, FT3 and FT4) and four indicators of lipid metabolism (TG, TC, LDL, HDL and fasting blood glucose) in patients with hyperthyroidism and healthy controls. Results: The basic levels of BAP and SOD in peripheral blood were significantly lower in hyperthyroidism patients compared to healthy controls (Pi¼0.001), while the level of DROM was significantly higher in patients with hyperthyroidism compared with control subjects (Pi¼0.05). There was no significant correlation between the three oxidative stress indicators and metabolites of glucose and lipid. The level of DROM was negative correlated with TSH and positive correlated with FT3 and FT4. Conclusion: Oxidative stress and antioxidant system play an important role in the pathogenesis of hyperthyroidism. In patients with hyperthyroidism, the level of oxidative stress products (DROM) was increased and the levels of antioxidant capacities (SOD and BAP) were decreased. BAP tend to be a better biomarker of antioxidant level in hyperthyroidism patients compared with SOD.","PeriodicalId":7277,"journal":{"name":"Advanced techniques in biology & medicine","volume":"31 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75067688","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}

To date, there is no specific treatment or vaccines against coronaviruses. To prevent the infection and stop the pandemic, the research and development of effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccines has become an urgent matter. It is worth mentioning that appropriate adjuvants could enhance the strength and speed of the immune responses to vaccination. However, it takes time to customize different adjuvants with distinct targets (cellular or humoral immunity) and action intensity according to different antigens. In this review, we summarize the mechanism, advantages and disadvantages of adjuvants commonly used in licensed vaccines, as well as some novel adjuvants under development, hoping to provide information and increase the chances of success in developing effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in a short time frame.","PeriodicalId":7277,"journal":{"name":"Advanced techniques in biology & medicine","volume":"79 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76097537","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}

They were more prevalent among population with low income, poor personal hygiene and environmental sanitation, overcrowding and limited access to clean water. Objective: The Study Was aimed to estimating the prevalence of geohelmenthes infection and its predisposing factors among treatments seeking patients at Jimma health centers. Methods and Materials: Cross sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of geohelmenthes infection and predisposing factors among treatments seeking patients from June to August 2018 at Jimma health centers Data collected analyzed by SPSS statistical software was used to analysis data. Association between variables was analyzed using uni-variation and multi-variation logistic regression and p-values. The result was presented with odd ratio. P-value <or=0.05 would take as the acceptable level significance. Results: Regarding to respondents residential area, patients living in urban area had 2.290 times higher prevalence of geohelmenthes infection as compared to patients living in rural area. Respondents who had dirty materials in fingernails were 63.256 times highly contribute for geohelmenthes infection as compared to do not having dirty materials in fingernails .Regarding to unwashed or uncooked vegetable or fruit eating habits, respondents uses unwashed or uncooked vegetable or fruit had 79.16 times highly contribute for geohelmenthes infections as compared those do not uses unwashed or un cooked vegetable or fruit.The overall prevalence of geohelmenthes 21.8% such as Ascaris lumbricoides 55 (14.3%), T. trichiura 16 (4.2%), Hookworm 10 (2.6%) and strongyloides 3 (0.8%). Conclusion and recommendation: The prevalence of geohelminthic infection was 21.8% in this study. Different between geohelminthes infection and poor hand washing practice before meal and after latrine, eating uncooked or unwashed vegetables and fruit, Trimming finger nails, Place of residence, and shoe wearing practice, and all associated factors were statically significant. Therefore, health education and development in sanitary infrastructure could achieve long-term and sustainable reductions in helminthes prevalence.","PeriodicalId":7277,"journal":{"name":"Advanced techniques in biology & medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74055969","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}
