Molecular characterisation of the emerging measles virus from Roraima state, Brazil, 2018

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 114 (), 2019
Measles is a human infectious disease of global concern that is caused by the measles virus. In this study, we report the complete genome sequencing of one measles virus isolate, genotype D8, that was obtained directly from a urine sample in Boa Vista city, the capital of Roraima state in Brazil. Phyloge...

The correlation between PER3 rs2640908 polymorphism and colorectal Cancer in the Japanese population

Appl. cancer res; 39 (), 2019
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in Japan. Many factors influence this cancer, one of which is circadian rhythm disruption. Our research investigated the correlation between singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Period 3 (PER3) (rs2640908), which is one of the ...

Análise comparativa do polimorfismo genético da glutationa transferase, do Helicobacter pylori e do vírus Epstein-Barr entre a área do tumor e as margens de ressecção proximal e distal do câncer gástrico

Rev. Col. Bras. Cir; 46 (1), 2019
RESUMO Objetivo: comparar o polimorfismo dos genes Glutationa S-transferase teta 1 (GSTT1) e Glutationa S-transferase mu 1 (GSTM1) da área do tumor com as margens proximal e distal de espécimes de estômago ressecados de pacientes com câncer gástrico, e investigar a presença do DNA do vírus Epstei...

Polimorfismos en los genes de la enzima alcohol deshidrogenasa (ADH1) y la citocromo P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) en pacientes con cirrosis y carcinoma hepatocelular

Biomédica (Bogotá); 38 (4), 2018
Introducción. Uno de los principales factores de riesgo del carcinoma hepatocelular es el consumo crónico de alcohol. En estudios en diferentes poblaciones, se sugiere que las variantes genéticas de las enzimas que participan en el metabolismo del alcohol, como la alcohol deshidrogenasa (ADH) y la cit...

Phylogenetic MLSA and phenotypic analysis identification of three probable novel Pseudomonas species isolated on King George Island, South Shetland, Antarctica

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Antarctica harbors a great diversity of microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, microalgae and yeasts. The Pseudomonas genus is one of the most diverse and successful bacterial groups described to date, but only eight species isolated from Antarctica have been characterized. Here, we presen...

Polimorfismo rs17817449 del gen FTO y su influencia en variables antropométricas de jóvenes chilenos

Int. j. morphol; 36 (4), 2018
Determinar la distribución genotípica y la frecuencia alélica del polimorfismo rs17817449 del gen FTO en jóvenes chilenos y su influencia en variables antropométricas. Los 96 sujetos jóvenes (18-25 años), 43 hombres y 53 mujeres fueron evaluados utilizando genotipificación del polimorfismo rs1781...

Perfil dos pacientes com hepatite C crônica em um programa de saúde pública do sul do Brasil

Arq. gastroenterol; 55 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) can progress to cirrhosis and its complications as hepatocellular carcinoma, leading to morbidity and mortality. To know the profile of patients with CHC virus is fundamental to optimize management. OBJECTIVE: To describe the profile of patients with CHC...

Epidemiología molecular de la criptococosis en un Hospital de enfermedades infecciosas de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires: análisis de 25 años

Prensa méd. argent; 104 (10), 2018
La criptococosis es una micosis grave de distribución universal, que afecta principalmente a huéspedes inmunocomprometidos. Es una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad en los pacientes infectados con el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (HIV). Provoca al menos 620 000 muertes al año...

Genetic diversity and molecular survey of Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum ) theileri in cattle in Brazil's western Amazon region

Abstract Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) theileri is a flagellated protozoan that infects ruminants and it displays high genetic diversity. In this study, we investigated the prevalence rates of this protozoan based on hemoculture and molecular diagnosis. The isolates of T. theileri thus obtained were charact...

Influence of the inflammatory response on treatment of hepatitis C with triple therapy

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Chronic hepatitis C is a leading cause of liver disease. Infection triggers an immediate immune response in the host that is mediated by humoral/cellular mechanisms. T cells respond to infection via secretion of cytokines, which inhibit or stimulate one another, leading to cytoki...
