Genotype distribution of genital Chlamydia trachomatis in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

چکیده
Urogenital isolates (N=84) of Chlamydia trachomatis collected from high-risk STD subjects in Chiang Mai and the surrounding areas were investigated for genotype distribution. C. trachomatis genotypes were determined by the PCR-based RFLP technique and confirmed by nucleotide sequencing. By this method, the VD4 DNA of the MOMP gene was amplified and digested separately with 4 restriction endonucleases, AluI, HindIII, DdeI, and EcoRII. The nucleotide sequence was determined by dye terminator cycle sequencing. Eight different C. trachomatis genotypes were identified: genotype D (34.5%), F (21.4%), K (13.1%), H/Ia (8.3%), E (7.1%), B/Ba (7.1%), G (6.0%), and J (2.4%). Genotype D and F were the commonest, accounting for 56% of the C. trachomatis infections. When nucleotides of the VD4-MOMP gene were anlyzed, 43 samples (51.2%) had nucleotide sequences that differed from the prototypes, while 41 (48.8%) were identical. Nucleotide substitution mutation was the major mechanism in these variants; changes in nucleotide sequences usually resulted in amino acid substitution, which could lead to a modification of antigenic determinants and the consequent evasion of immune responses.

Effect of low dose X-ray on membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells
Background: Chest X-ray is one of the examinations required for an annual health checkup. The interaction of radiation to the medium produces free radicals, which consequently causes biological changes either structural or properties of the cells. Whether the radiation from Chest X-ray upright technique affects the plasma membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells (RBCs) is still unclear....
