Induced oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus (DM) plays a critical role in insulin resistance. Fork head-related transcription factor (FOXO) proteins are important transcriptional factors involved in oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenol with hypoglycemic and antioxidant properties. The aims of the present study were to examine the effects of RSV on FOXO ge...

background and aims: respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) infection is common in infants and young children. in infants younger than one year old it may cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia which requires hospitalization. accurate and rapid diagnosis of the disease will help proper treatment of the disease and prevents further complications. methods: specimen taken from respiratory tract of sick chil...

SUMMARY To explain the wide spectrum of disease severity caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and because of the limitations of animal models to fully parallel human RSV disease, study of genetic influences on human RSV disease severity has begun. Candidate gene approaches have demonstrated associations of severe RSV in healthy infants with genetic polymorphisms that may alter the innate...

Most plant viruses are transmitted by hemipteroid insects. Some viruses can be transmitted from female parent to offspring usually through eggs, but the mechanism of this transovarial transmission remains unclear. Rice stripe virus (RSV), a Tenuivirus, transmitted mainly by the small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus), is also spread to the offspring through the eggs. Here, we used the ...

background: both influenza a virus (iav) and respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) cause acute respiratory infection (ari) in infants and young children. this study was conducted to determine influenza a virus and its co infection with rsv among the hospitalized children with ari. methods: a total of 153 throat samples of the hospitalized young children aged between below one year and 5 years with ...

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a seasonal infection affecting most children by 2 years of age and the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection requiring hospitalization in infants. Novel antiviral medications are in development to improve the clinical outcomes of RSV; however, no clinical outcome assessments (COAs) for RSV have been developed in alignment with the Un...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of virus-induced respiratory disease and hospitalization in infants. Palivizumab, an RSV-neutralizing monoclonal antibody, is used clinically to prevent serious RSV-related respiratory disease in high-risk infants. Motavizumab, an affinity-optimized version of palivizumab, was developed to improve protection against RSV. These antibodies bind R...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe lower respiratory infection in infants and young children and causes disease in the elderly and persons with compromised cardiac, pulmonary, or immune systems. Despite the high morbidity rates of RSV infection, no highly effective treatment or vaccine is yet available. The RSV G protein is an important contributor to the disease proce...

BACKGROUND Palmitate, a saturated fatty acid (FA), is known to induce toxicity and cell death in various types of cells. Resveratrol (RSV) is able to prevent pathogenesis and/or decelerate the progression of a variety of diseases. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have also shown a protective effect of RSV on fat accumulation induced by FAs. Additionally, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress ha...

results in this study, seven sirna molecules were rationally designed against the nucleoprotein gene and validated using various computational methods for silencing different strains of rsv. additionally, three effective sirna molecules targeting the overlapping region of m2/l mrna were designed. conclusions this approach provides insight and a validated strategy for chemical synthesis of an an...
