background: dna immunization with plasmid dna encoding bacterial, viral, parasitic, and tumor antigens has been reported to trigger protective immunity. the use of plasmid dna vaccinations against many diseases has produced promising results in animal and human clinical trials; however, safety concerns about the use of dna vaccines exist, such as the possibility of integration into the host gen...

Introduction: Previous investigations have indicated that the presence of BIO (6-Bromoindirubin-3-Oxime) in medium of some cell culture enhances the cell proliferation and viability. The aim of the present study was to investigate the BIO effects on in vitro expansion of rat marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) culture. Methods: In the present experimental study, bone marrow cells from ...

Using the combination method with PCR phylogrouping and fimH SNPs analysis, this study investigates the epidemiology of Extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli in China. 116 E. coli strains including (74 from Urine, 39 from other extra-intestinal sources and 3 references strains) were collected. The bacteria Genomic DNA were extracted; phylogroup and the fimH gene amplifications were determined by ...

In this paper, an in vitro implementation of DNA computing for solving k-shortest paths problem of a weighted graph is reported. The encoding is designed in such a way that every path is encoded by oligonucleotides and the length of the path is directly proportional to the length of oligonucleotides. For initial pool generation, parallel overlap assembly is employed for efficient generation of ...

Ventilator associated pneumonia is a common and costly complication in critically ill and injured surgical patients. The diagnosis of pneumonia remains problematic and non-specific. Using clinical criteria, a diagnosis of pneumonia is typically not made until an infection is well established. Semi-quantitative cultures of endotracheal aspirate and broncho-alveolar lavage are employed to improve...

In preclinical studies, heregulin (HRG) expression was shown to be the most relevant predictive biomarker for response to patritumab, a fully human anti-epidermal growth factor receptor 3 monoclonal antibody. In support of a phase 2 study of erlotinib ± patritumab in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay for relative q...
