Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major threat to public health. In clinical practice, a limited number of resistance mutations in a short sequence of the beta subunit of RNA polymerase (encoded by rpoB) have been described. Spontaneous resistance to rifampin was induced in vitro in M. tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC 9360). Only three resistance patterns could be detected by PCR-single-st...

Obesity is the most prevalent disease in the world which poses a serious risk for various chronic diseases. However, currently there are not any therapeutic agents that reduce body weight without causing serious side effects. In order to prevent and/or treat obesity and related diseases through a nutraceutical approach, we created a resveratrol-enriched transgenic rice accumulating 1.4 μg/g of ...

OBJECTIVE We studied the involvement of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway in the growth of colon cancer using human colon cancer specimens, human colon cancer SW620 cell line, and nude mouse xenograft model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tissue samples were surgically harvested. The human colon cancer SW620 cell line was pre-treated with the TLR4 inhibitor CRX-526 and stimulated with LPS. The nude mouse xenogra...

the aim of this study was to investigate the frequency, location and type of rpob gene mutations in mycobacterium tuberculosis (mtb) collected from patients in the southern endemic region of iran. drug susceptibility testing was determined by using the bactec system and the center for diseases control’s (cdc) standard conventional proportional method. in 29 rifampicin-resistant mtb (85%) isolat...
