Development, Histological, and Ultrastructural Evaluation of Sheep Hyperimmune Serum Therapy for COVID-19

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: In response to the threat posed by new variants of SARS-CoV-2 and the urgent need for effective treatments in the absence of vaccines, the aim of this study was to develop a rapid and cost-effective hyperimmune serum (HS) derived from sheep and assess its efficacy. The utilization of a halal-cer...

MiR-15b-5p Promotes Growth and Metastasis of Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: We investigated the expression and clinical significance of miR-15b-5p in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) through bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification. The differentially expressed miRNAs were screened in the GEO database. Venn diagram showed that there were 5 up-regulated...

Rev. chil. infectol; 40 (6), 2023
La miositis aguda benigna asociada a influenza es una complicación esporádica. En Argentina, en el año 2022, hubo un aumento temprano de la circulación de influenza y del número total de las notificaciones, con la aparición de miositis secundarias. Serie clínica retrospectiva de nueve pacientes pe...

Estandarización de PCR en tiempo real para detección y cuantificación de los oncogenes E7 de seis Virus del Papiloma Humano de Alto Riesgo
Real-time PCR standardization for detection and quantification of E7 oncogenes from six High-Risk Human Papillomaviruses

El cáncer de cuello uterino es causado por la infección persistente del epitelio cervical con los genotipos de alto riesgo del Virus del Papiloma Humano. Para su detección se realizan pruebas moleculares que detectan el gen L1 del VPH. Este gen puede perderse hasta en el 11 % de los casos durante la i...

Validación de la reacción de polimerasa en cadena en tiempo real como herramienta diagnóstica en la aspergilosis asociada a COVID-19 en pacientes hospitalizados en Clínica Dávila de Santiago, Chile, durante los años 2020 y 2021

Rev. chil. infectol; 40 (4), 2023
INTRODUCCIÓN: Desde el inicio de la pandemia por COVID-19 se han registrado casos de infecciones de aspergilosis pulmonar asociada a esta infección, la cual tiene características diferentes a la aspergilosis pulmonar clásica y, por lo tanto, han significado un desafío diagnóstico.

Captopril inhibits thioacetamide-induced chronic liver injury associated with the suppression of inflammation / hypoxia- inducible factor 1-alpha / profibrogenic axis-mediated hepatotoxicity in rats

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Liver transplantation is the only available method to treat liver failure induced by chronic liver injury. We sought to determine whether the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, can inhibit the development of chronic liver injury induced by the hepatotoxic agent thioacetamide (TA...

The conventional diagnosis challenge: Real-time PCR and nested PCR correlation with the scoring system for individuals at high-risk of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia

Biomédica (Bogotá); 43 (Supl. 1), 2023
Introduction. Pneumocystis jirovecii is an opportunistic fungus that affects mainly people living with HIV (CD4 cell count lower than 200 cells/ml) and other immunosuppressed patients. Since P. jirovecii does not grow on routine mycological media, diagnosis of P. jirovecii pneumonia relies on indirect ev...
