OBJECTIVE To determine if untreated HIV-1 infection and progression is associated with premature aging of memory CD8 and CD4 T cells and naive CD4 T cells. METHODS Twenty HIV-1-infected fast progressors and 40 slow progressors were included in our study, using risk set sampling. The expression of cell surface markers reflecting the differentiation stages of lymphocytes was measured using flow...

BACKGROUND Renilla Luciferase reporter gene (rLuc) GL4.82 and GL4.13 promoter are key player in transfection, but precise knowledge of its targets in colon cancer remains limited. The aim of this study was to characterize the best transfection technique to produce a stable transfected colon DLD1 (colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line), therefore imaging based approaches were employed. RESULTS D...

Background/Introduction In Surgical revascularization by CABG surgery Left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to Lt.ant.descending (LAD) is considered gold standard conduit of choice for myocardial revascularization. Although conventional angiography is gold standard for assessing graft patency but rarely available in operating room in Bangladesh. So intraoperative florescence imaging (Novadaq Tech...

The present investigation envisages the in vivo measured laser induced chlorophyll florescence spectra of EMS (Ethyl methane sulphonate) treated safflower leaves. Seeds of safflower were treated with 0.5% EMS for three treatment durations (3h, 5h and 7h) to raise the populations. The effect of EMS treatment on chlorophyll content in the leaves was assessed using laser induced chlorophyll fluore...
