OBJECTIVE To evaluate clustering patterns of prevalent infection with multiple human papillomavirus (HPV) types in 3677 men from the HPV in Men (HIM) study. METHODS HPV testing was performed in samples combined from the glans penis/coronal sulcus, the shaft, and the scrotum by Linear Array methodology. Linear Array uses a mixed probe to assess HPV52 positivity, which limits the assay's abilit...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a major health problem in Iran in spite of implementation of control program. This infectious disease caused morbidity in less than 27000 people in 2010. This study was set to determine some ecological aspects of sand flies in Fasa district, Fars Province, southern Iran during 2011-2012. METHODS A total of 4792 sand flies were captured by means of sticky ...

The replication of human rhinovirus 2 (HRV2), a positive-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Picornaviridae, requires a virus-encoded RNA polymerase. We have expressed in Escherichia coli and purified both a glutathione S-transferase fusion polypeptide and an untagged form of the HRV2 RNA polymerase 3D(pol). Using in vitro assay systems previously described for poliovirus RNA polymerase 3D(pol)...

This study aims to identify prognostic microRNAs (miRNAs) biomarkers for diagnosis and survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on large patients cohort analysis. HCC patient cohort data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas, including paired HCC and adjacent non-cancer tissues. Receiver operating characteristic curve method was used to classify cancer and non-cancer tissues acco...

Phosphor-in-glass (PiG) film is a promising luminescent material in high-brightness laser lighting for its advantages of high efficiency, outstanding color quality, and low-cost preparation, which must bear power (LP) density (LPD) simultaneously to enable high-luminance light. Herein, spot associated high-saturation PiG was proposed transmissive reflective lighting. Two types films were prepar...

No início da pandemia de COVID-19 foi observado que o contato com a saliva infectada representava uma forma contágio possivelmente relacionada proximidade anatômica entre trato respiratório superior e cavidade oral. Estudos recentes indicam SARS-COV-2 pode infectar células epiteliais das glândulas salivares, impacta na prática clínica cirurgiões-dentistas. O presente trabalho objetivou coletar ...

Pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica modify the tricatecholic siderophore enterobactin (Ent) by glucosylation of three aryl carbon atoms, a process controlled by the iroA locus [Hantke, K., Nicholson, G., Rabsch, W. & Winkelmann, G. (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 100, 3677-3682]. Here, we report the purification of the IroB protein and its characterization as the En...

Hematologists are often asked to treat patients with venous thromboembolic disease. Although anticoagulation remains the primary therapy for venous thromboembolism, vena caval filters are an important alternative when anticoagulants are contraindicated. To assess the evidence supporting the utility of these devices, a comprehensive review of the English language literature was performed. Except...

In Western countries, France accounts for the most concerned by imported malaria. The objective of the present study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical features of importedmalaria in adults attending the University Hospital Center (UHC) ofBordeaux and to compare these findingswith the French national epidemiological data. A retrospective analysis of all patients aged over 15 years...
