Many host factors or biomarkers are involved in the process of early DNA damage induced by occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) as seen in coke-oven workers. This paper aimed to identify complicated causal interrelationship of various biomarkers using the path analysis. In this analysis, we included 235 subjects (166 coke-oven workers and 69 nonexposed controls) whose...

This study was performed to explore heat stress tolerance indices judge terminal genotypes from nine wheat viz: AKAW 5023, 4927, PBN 4905, 4751-02, NIAW 3523, 2891, 4210-6 (C), 34 1994 (C) at Wheat Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (MH) during Rabi 2016-17 and 2017-2018. The trial setup in RBD design with three replications. Yield Physiological traits were recorded ...

PURPOSE Interleukin-6 (IL-6) encodes a cytokine protein, which causes inflammation, maintains immune homeostasis and plays an essential role in oral pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between IL-6 (- 174 and - 572) G/C promoter gene polymorphisms and risk of OSCC among Indians. METHODS Single nucleotide polymorphism in IL-6 genes was genotyped in OSCC patients...

Abstract Lipoxygenase (LOX) activity is closely related to wheat processing and storage quality. In the present research, ten cultivars were used compare effects of genotype, location, year, their interactions on LOX activity. Furthermore, 123 evaluated for with 192 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers identify elite alleles The results indicated that was highly affected by genotype (variety) t...

A novel human papillomavirus genotype was detected in a cervical swab specimen by next-generation sequencing after rolling circular amplification. It was fully cloned and characterized. The L1 open reading frame showed 77% nucleotide similarity with the closest genotype, HPV101, belonging to the gamma-6 species.

We have conducted a case-control study in a Chinese population, and investigate the role of two common promoter genomic variants in IL-6 (-174G/C and -572G/C) in the development of CAD in a Chinese population. A hospital-based case-control study was taken. A total of 275 patients with CAD and 286 control subjects were selected between January 2012 and December 2014. The genotyping of IL-6 -174G...

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of cancer progression. IL-6-174G>C polymorphism has shown several results in association studies. In this study, we evaluated the association the IL-6-174G>C polymorphism and overall survival (OS) of cancer using 17 eligible studies with 4,304 patients. Our meta-analysis indicated that IL-6-174G>C polymorphism is not associated wi...

The genome of a Newcastle disease virus isolated from a Japanese quail in 2003 is reported here. The genome is 15,192 nucleotides (nt) long, as found in the recent genotypes, and grouped as genotype VIIb, with a 6-nt insertion. This is the first report on the sequence of a genotype VII Newcastle disease virus (NDV) from India.

Objective: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the most important health problems in the world. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been shown to be a major inflammatory cytokine, inducing cell proliferation and expression of acute response genes, such as fibrinogen and C-reactive protein in hepatocytes. IL-6 levels are elevated in patients acutely infected with HBV and have been associated with p...
