The quality of qRTPCR analysis is determined by the primers and probes used for DNA amplification. This research aims to use bioinformatics techniques to design primer pair sequences and qRT-PCR probes for HIV detection using the HIV-1 Gag gene. HIV-1 Gag gene sequences were obtained from HIV-1 isolates and serotypes, downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenPeptd nucleotide database. Sequences were then examined using the ClustalW algorithm of the Bioedit sequence alignment editor version 7.2.5.0. through gene alignment using multiple sequence alignment (MSA) with conserved regions. The primer pair sequences of the Gag-HIV 1 gene were obtained, namely, forward 5'-CAGTACAATGTGCTTCCACAGGG-3 and reverse 3'-CGGGATAGAGATTCAGTCTAGG-5' with the probe sequence 5'-GGATCACCAGCAATATTTCAGGGAACG-3'. The primer sequence has a length of 23 bases (forward), 22 bases (reverse), GC content of 52% (reverse), 50% (forward), and the same forward and reverse melting temperature (Tm) of 66°C. The probe sequence is 27 bases long, with a GC content of 48% and a Tm of 67.3°C. No hairpin loops and dimers were formed in the primer pair or probe, and the gag gene had 100% homology with HIV-1. It was concluded that the primer and probe pair sequences met the requirements and could be used to amplify the HIV-1 Gag gene using qRT-PCR.","PeriodicalId":72970,"journal":{"name":"European journal of biomedical research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141807693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research aimed to evaluate the administration of 2% plum extract in inhibiting the increase of tyrosinase enzyme expression and the amount of skin melanin in male guinea pigs’ skin exposed to UV B light. This was a randomized post-test-only control group design using 30 male guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus), aged 12-16 weeks, weight 300-350 grams, and divided into three groups, the control group did not get any cream, treatment group 1 received cream base, and treatment group 2 got 2% plum extract cream. Creams were applied daily 0.1 mg/cm2 at 09.40 and 14.00 WITA. All guinea pigs received UV-B irradiation, three times a week with a total dose of 390 mJ/cm2. Tyrosinase enzyme expression was examined by calculating the percentage of cells expressing the enzyme using immunohistochemical methods. On the other hand, the amount of melanin was obtained by calculating the melanin percentage that appeared on histopathological preparations using Masson-Fontana staining. The data obtained were analyzed using the One-way ANOVA test with a significance value of p<0.05. The expression of the tyrosinase enzyme in the control group and group with base cream was not significantly different (22.75 ± 5.50% vs. 21.30 ± 6.50%, p = 0.601).

There is evidence to support polymorphisms that could be linked to some biological complications in implantology.

The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between the polymorphisms IL-10 A/G rs1800896 and TNF-α G308A rs1800629308 and the loss of dental implants and periodontal disease. Material and method: 140 patients were selected, 10 with implant losses within a maximum period of 6 months of their placement. Each patient voluntarily consented to participate in the study (approved by CIEIS Adult Hospital Córdoba) Filiatory and clinical data were collected in a clinical history. Samples of clinically healthy oral mucosa were obtained and genotyped by PCR and RFPL. Results: The population consisted of male and female individuals in similar proportions (p=0.6121). The average age was 53.06±16.22 years, and an age variation range of 20 to 80 years. 7.7% of the patients included in the study had loss of their implant. It was observed that 62.5% of the patients who presented loss of implants were women. Of the patients with missing implants, 75% were smokers and did not consume alcohol. On the other hand, in relation to periodontal disease only 31% presented disease. In relation to genotype, patients with lost implants had 50% of the mutated allele of the SNP TNFα rs1800629, while 50% of patients with periodontal disease were carriers of the mutated allele for SNP IL-10 rs1800896. On the other hand, considering the total population under study, 31.06% of the patients presented the genotypes with the genetic variation, AG+GG, of the IL10 rs1800896 gene; while 64.07% presented the AA and GA genotypes, (both with the mutated allele) of the TNF-α G308A rs1800629 gene.
