Background DNA barcoding has been successfully established in animals as a tool for organismal identification and taxonomic clarification. Slower nucleotide substitution rates in plant genomes have made the selection of a DNA barcode for land plants a much more difficult task. The Plant Working Group of the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) recommended the two-marker combination rbcL/matK as a pragmatic solution to a complex trade-off between universality, sequence quality, discrimination, ...

Tuberculin skin test (TST) response and cytokine production in finger stab-derived whole blood cultures from 136 BCG scar-positive school-age children were evaluated before and after BCG revaccination. Fifty-four percent of the children increased in vitro production of IFN-γ after revaccination, and this increase was highly significant for previously unresponsive children (P<0.0001). No correlation was found between TST response and cytokine production. Our data suggest that the in vitro IFN-γ response ...

Summary Schistosoma mansoni infection has been associated with protection against allergies. The mechanisms underlying this association may involve regulatory cells and cytokines. We evaluated the immune response induced by the S. mansoni antigens Sm22·6, PIII and Sm29 in a murine model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced airway inflammation. BALB/c mice were sensitized with subcutaneously injected OVA-alum and challenged with aerolized OVA. Mice were given three doses of the different S. mansoni antigens. ...

High superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) expression is associated with a poor prognosis at many cancer sites, the presence of metastases, and more advanced cervical cancer. This study aims to determine whether SOD2 protein expression is associated with the prognosis of stage IIIB cervical carcinoma. Methods: sixty-three patients with stage IIIB squamous cell cervical carcinoma were included. The evaluation of SOD2 expression by immunohistochemistry was based on a positive cell ratio score and the staining ...

A method for early quantification of unripe macaw fruits oil content using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and partial least squares (PLS) is presented. After harvest, the fruit takes about 30 days to reach its maximum oil accumulation. The oil content was quantified thirty days after harvest using Soxhlet extraction. PLS models were built using NIR spectra of shell obtained five days after harvest (Shell5). The Shell5 model was compared with models built using NIR spectra of the shell (Shell30) and ...

A new robust adaptive mixing control (RAMC) is proposed in order to accomplish trajectory tracking of a tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configuration. This kind of system is a hybrid aerial vehicle that combines advantages of rotary-wing aircraft, like hovering flight and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), and those of fixed-wing aircraft, as improved forward flight. Although the VTOL and cruise flight regimes present different dynamic behaviors, in this work a unified, highly coupled, ...

Abstract Background Despite recent advances in understanding its pathophysiology and development of novel therapies, asthma remains a serious public health issue worldwide. Combination therapy with inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β 2 -adrenoceptor agonists results in disease control for many patients, but those who exhibit severe asthma are often unresponsive to conventional treatment, experiencing worse quality of life, frequent exacerbations, and increasing healthcare costs.

Leptin, one of the main hormones controlling energy homeostasis, has been associated with different cancer types. In oral cancer, its effect is not well understood. We investigated, through in vitro and in vivo assays, whether leptin can affect the neoplastic behavior of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Expression of genes possibly linked to the leptin pathway was assessed in leptin-treated oral squamous cell carcinoma cells and also in tissue samples of oral squamous cell carcinoma and oral mucosa, ...

Clinical conditions associated with obesity can be improved by daily intake of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) or extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Here we investigated whether dietary supplementation with CLA and EVOO, either alone or in combination, changes body metabolism associated with mitochondrial energetics. Male C57Bl/6 mice were divided into one of four groups: CLA (1:1 cis-9, trans-11:trans-10, cis-12; 18:2 isomers), EVOO, CLA plus EVOO or control (linoleic acid). Each mouse received 3 g/kg body ...

Schistosoma mansoni infection or associated products are able to down-modulate the type 1 CD4+ T cell inflammatory response characteristic of autoimmune diseases. In this study, we evaluated how S. mansoni antigens altered the immune response that was induced by the soluble Leishmania antigen (SLA) from cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) patients. Cytokines were measured from the supernatants of peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures stimulated with SLA. This was performed using the sandwich enzyme ...

Since clinical application of conventional cancer therapies is usually limited by drug resistance and toxic side effects, combination of chemotherapeutic agents with gene therapy appears as an attractive therapeutic strategy to overcome these issues. Being selectively expressed in tumor tissues, survivin is a promising target for the development of anticancer strategies aimed at eliminating tumor cells while sparing normal tissues. In this work, we achieved substantial protein knockdown in a number ...

DOTAP:Chol liposomes associated with transferrin (Tf) and complexed with siRNAs (Tf-lipoplexes) were delivered to primary cultures of luciferase-expressing cortical neurons. Confocal ...

Asthmatics infected with Schistosoma mansoni have a less severe course of asthma and an inhibition of the Th2 inflammatory response that seems to be mediated by interleukin (IL-10). The objective of this study was to evaluate the capacity of some S. mansoni antigens to stimulate IL-10 production in vitro by cells of asthmatic infected individuals. Peripheral bloods mononuclear cells were stimulated with the S. mansoni recombinant antigens Sm22.6, Sm14, P24, and PIII antigen. IL-10 was measured in ...

Due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier, the central nervous system (CNS) is not easily accessible to systemically delivered macromolecules with therapeutic activity such as growth factors, cytokines or enzymes. Therefore, the expression of exogenously administered genes in the brain has been proposed for a wide variety of inherited and acquired diseases of the CNS, for which classical pharmacotherapy is unavailable or not easily applicable. Gene therapy to the CNS has been the target of a ...
