Microalgae produce a wide range of lipid compounds of potential commercial interest. Total lipid extraction performed by conventional extraction methods, relying on the chloroform-methanol solvent system are too laborious and time consuming for screening large numbers of samples. In this study, three previous extraction methods devised by Folch et al. (1957), Bligh and Dyer […]
Functional and Antioxidant Properties of Plastic Bottle Caps Incorporated with BHA or BHT
In this study, we prepared new antioxidant active plastic bottle caps by incorporating butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and 2% (w/w) white masterbatch in high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry revealed that the antioxidants and HDPE were uniformly mixed with noncovalent bonding. In addition, the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test revealed that […]
Direct Detection of Feline Coronavirus by Three Rapid Antigen Immunochromatographic Tests and by Real-Time PCR in Cat Shelters
The aim of this study was the direct detection of feline coronavirus by real-time PCR and by three different rapid immunochromatographic (RIM) tests detecting antigens in faecal samples of shelter cats. Based on sensitivity and specificity calculated for each of the RIM tests, the utility of RIM tests was compared. Seventy faecal samples originating from […]
Diagnostic performance and characteristics of anterior nasal collection for the SARS-CoV-2 antigen test: a prospective study
The clinical utility of antigen test using anterior nasal samples has not been well evaluated. We conducted a prospective study in a drive-through testing site located at a PCR center to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the antigen test QuickNavi-COVID19 Ag using anterior nasal samples and to compare the degrees of coughs or sneezes induction […]
Bean Extract-Based Gargle for Efficient Diagnosis of Active COVID-19 Infection Using Rapid Antigen Tests
The antigen-based rapid diagnostic test (Ag-RDT) using saliva specimens is fast, noninvasive, and suitable for SARS-CoV-2 self-testing, unlike nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) testing. We evaluated a novel Beanguard gargle (BG)-based virus collection method that can be applied to Ag-RDT as an alternative to the current RT-PCR with an NPS for early diagnosis of COVID-19. This clinical […]
A RNA methylation in mind growth and ailments
Epitranscriptomic regulation by m 6 A RNA methylation in mind growth and ailments Mobile RNAs are pervasively tagged with numerous chemical moieties, collectively known as epitranscriptomic modifications. The methylation of adenosine at N6place generates N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which is essentially the most ample and reversible epitranscriptomic modification in mammals. The m6A signaling is mediated by a devoted set of proteins […]
Low-cost RNA extraction technique for extremely scalable transcriptome
Identification of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and candidate focused brokers for hepatitis B virus-associated early stage hepatocellular carcinoma based mostly on RNA-sequencing information Major liver most cancers is a quickly progressing neoplasm with excessive morbidity and mortality charges. The current research aimed to determine potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and candidate focused brokers for hepatitis B […]
Metagenomic Insights into the Sewage RNA
The Interaction between Lengthy Noncoding RNAs and Proteins of the Epigenetic Equipment in Ovarian Most cancers Complete large-scale sequencing and bioinformatics analyses have uncovered a myriad of cancer-associated lengthy noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Aberrant expression of lncRNAs is related to epigenetic reprogramming throughout tumor growth and development, primarily attributable to their potential to work together with DNA, RNA, […]
Downregulation of lengthy noncoding RNA SNHG6 rescued propofol-induced
A novel platform to speed up antimicrobial susceptibility testing in Neisseria gonorrhoeae utilizing RNA signatures The rise of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens could be attributed to the shortage of a speedy pathogen identification (ID) or antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), leading to delayed therapeutic choices on the point-of-care. Gonorrhea is often empirically handled with no AST outcomes obtainable earlier than therapy, thus […]
Identification of strong genetic signatures related to lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung
Identification of strong genetic signatures related to lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung damage onset and astaxanthin therapeutic results by integrative evaluation of RNA sequencing information and GEO datasets Acute lung damage (ALI) and acute respiratory misery syndrome (ARDS) are life-threatening scientific situations predominantly arising from uncontrolled inflammatory reactions. It has been discovered that the administration of astaxanthin (AST) […]
