By contrast, the protein expression level was normal in Tfap2bK145/+ mice but was reduced in Tfap2bK145/K145 mice to a similar extent as Tfap2b-/- mice. Tfap2bK144/+ and Tfap2bK144/K144 showed normal protein expression levels. Tfap2b+/- female mice showed increased wakefulness time and decreased nonrapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) time. By…[Read more]

k of infection due to their high expression of ACE2. Conclusion The level of ACE2 is higher in females, older subjects, smokers, and subjects with cancer than in other subjects, indicating that some of which are at higher risk for the severe forms of COVID-19 when they are exposed to the SARS-Cov-2.A growing body of evidence demonstrates that…[Read more]

0/13.0 years, 901 [51%] male, 602 [34%] transient ischemic attack), 1058 (59.9%) were APOE-ε3/ε3, 403 (22.8%) were ε4/ε3 and 30 (1.7%) were ε4-homozygous. Homozygosity was associated with both pre-event (adjusted odds ratio, 5.81 [95% CI, 1.93-17.48]; P=0.002) and postevent dementia (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.64 [95% CI, 1.90-7.00]; P less then…[Read more]

2%-44.7%). The findings suggest that the lack of regulations for the characteristics of allergen labeling increases the risk of accidental exposure to allergens of interest. Our findings also suggest that beyond regulations, a scientific approach is required for minimizing and standardizing the use of PAL.Oats are increasingly popular among…[Read more]

Non-pharmaceutical interventions to control COVID-19 spread have been implemented in several countries with different intensity, timing, and impact on transmission. As a result, post-lockdown COVID-19 dynamics are heterogenous and difficult to interpret. Here we describe a set of contact surveys performed in four Chinese cities (Wuhan, Shanghai,…[Read more]

Gingival recession is a common finding in daily clinical practice. Several issues may be associated with the apical shift of the gingival margin such as dentine hypersensitivity, root caries, non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), and compromised aesthetics. The first step in an effective management and prevention program is to identify…[Read more]

1; 95% CI 2.3-4.0). Among infants, incidence per 1,000 person-months was 15.4 (95% CI, 12.5-18.8); incidence did not differ by HIV exposure or prematurity.

HIV-infection may increase the risk of RSV illness among pregnant women. Future maternal RSV vaccines may have added benefit in high HIV prevalence areas.

HIV-infection may increase…[Read more]

Organic solid-state fluorescent crystals have received extensive attention owing to their remarkable and promising optoelectronic applications in many fields. Current methods to obtain organic fluorescent crystals usually involve two steps (1) solution phase organic synthesis and (2) crystallization of target fluorescent compounds. Direct…[Read more]

This work presents a lab-made automatic flow-batch system for headspace single-drop microextraction and on-drop conductometric sensing ammonium. Sample and NaOH solution are simultaneously pumped into a reaction chamber (RC), where ammonium is converted to ammonia by raising pH. The converted ammonia then diffuses into the headspace of the RC, and…[Read more]

Parkinson’s disease is characterized by decreased level of dopaminergic neurotransmitters and this decrease is due to the degradation of dopamine by protein Monoamine Oxidase B (MAO-B). In order to treat Parkinson’s disease, MAO-B should be inhibited.

To find out the novel phytochemicals from plant Ocimum basilicum that can inhibit MAO-B…[Read more]
