Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a disorder of synaptic function and neuronal degeneration characterized by decline in memory and cognition as well as changes of personality. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a major modulator of synaptic plasticity and is an acknowledged pharmacological target for the treatment of a range of neurological disorders including AD. Attempts to supply BDNF exo...

The present era of modern dentistry revolves around the procedures and techniques that are convenient and patient friendly although the prime requisite is for advanced aids both in diagnosis and clinical procedures. The result of such quest has led to the introduction of light amplifi cation and stimulated emission of radiation technique in both medicine and dentistry. This technique is current...

Onion bulb rot was observed in low-temperature warehouses Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai, Thailand 2022. The pathogens were isolated and identifi ed as Pantoea agglomerans Burkholderia gladioli based on morphological biochemical characterization, pathogenicity tests, 16S rRNA gene sequences. Biological control is regarded a safer more sustainable strategy than chemical has elicited great attenti...

Chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle viroid (CChMVd) is a serious pathogen infecting chrysanthemum worldwide. To improve and enhance the detection procedure, colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplifi cation (LAMP) technique was developed. Six LAMP primers were newly designed tested optimal conditions using recombinant plasmid of CChMVd as DNA template. The for incubation at 65°C 60 min. At these ...

Cellular base stations (BTS) and microwave relays have detached LNA stages located up in the aerial tower in order to mitigate NF degradation from pre-LNA cable loss. In the BTS architecture, the LNA stage is preceded by a transmit-receive (Tx-Rx) diplexer for duplexing a common aerial and by an interference fi lter for preventing out-ofband blocking or desensitization. However, both duplexer a...

Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, India. The Institute currently has a 20 terawatt (TW), 30 femtosecond (fs) table top chirped pulse amplifi cation (CPA) titanium -sapphire laser facility and will have a fully functional 100 TW, 25 fs facility by the middle of 2011. This upgradation would propel existing research at the Institute to address ultraintense lasermatter interaction studie...

Chamaecyparis formosensis is a precious conifer endemic in Taiwan. To understand the sesquiterpene synthesis mechanism in this tree, full-length cDNA of a putative sesquiterpene synthase (sesqui-TPS), designated Cf-Cad , was obtained by rapid amplifi cation of complementary DNA ends-polymerase chain reaction. Cf-Cad is 1812 bp in length. To identify its function, recombinant protein from Escher...

Objective: The aim of the present study is to validate a rapid and simple allelespecifi c PCR that genotypes TCF7/L2 rs7903146 (C/T) polymorphism with standard PCR instruments. Methods: Two forward primers with variations in their 3’ nucleotides were designed in such a way that each was specifi c for one of the two variants. They were combined with a common reverse primer into two PCR reactions...

To investigate the mechanism of resistance in the isolates, fragments of gyrA (847 bp) and parC (822 bp) genes were amplifi ed by using primers gyrA1F (5′-gttttcccagtcacgacgttgtaATGA CCGACGCAACCATCCGCCAC-3′) and gyrA-1R (5′-ttgtgagcggataacaattt cCCAGCTTGGCTTTGTTGACCTG ATAG-3′), and parC-1F (5′-gttttcccag tcacgacgttgtaATGAATACGCAAGC GCACGCCCCA-3′) and parC-1R (5′ttgtgagcggataacaatttcGGAATTGGC GT...
