Sensibilidad y especificidad de pruebas moleculares en odontología
Sensitivity and specificity of molecular tests in dentistry

Rev. ADM; 78 (2), 2021
La biología molecular tiene mayor afinidad en las áreas de la salud, en odontología su principal aplicación ha sido en la identificación de microorganismos orales patógenos mediante el uso de secuencias genéticas específicas (ácido desoxirribonucleico [DNA], ácido ribonucleico [RNA] y proteína...

Atualizando e expandindo o universo de: “Uma nova classe de doenças – doenças autoinflamatórias”

As síndromes autoinflamatórias são doenças raras, genéticas de envolvimento prioritário da imunidade inata. Avanços nas técnicas de sequenciamento genético permitiram dissecar os genes envolvidos nestas doenças, continuamente organizando o quebra-cabeça genético e fisiopatológico de tais des...

Investigação das características moleculares e filogenéticas dos isolamentos de Pythium insidiosum em casos de ceratite
Investigation of the molecular and phylogenetic characteristics of Pythium insidiosum isolates in cases of keratitis

Introdução: Pythium insidiosum é um microrganismo fenotipicamente semelhante aos fungos com hifas, mas este oomyceto pertencente ao filo Straminofila, filogeneticamente separado dos fungos verdadeiros. Usando metodologias moleculares, isolados de P. insidiosum foram colocados em três grupos filogené...

SELAdb: A database of exonic variants in a Brazilian population referred to a quaternary medical center in São Paulo

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
OBJECTIVES: High-throughput sequencing of genomes, exomes, and disease-focused gene panels is becoming increasingly common for molecular diagnostics. However, identifying a single clinically relevant pathogenic variant among thousands of genetic polymorphisms is a challenging task. Publicly available gen...

Identification of the molecular mechanisms associated with acute type A aortic dissection through bioinformatics methods

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (11), 2019
Aortic dissection is characterized by the redirection of blood flow, which flows through an intimal tear into the aortic media. The purpose of this study was to find potential acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD)-related genes and molecular mechanisms by bioinformatics. The gene expression profiles of G...

Predicting pathway cross-talks in ankylosing spondylitis through investigating the interactions among pathways

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (1), 2018
Given that the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) remains unclear, the aim of this study was to detect the potentially functional pathway cross-talk in AS to further reveal the pathogenesis of this disease. Using microarray profile of AS and biological pathways as study objects, Monte Carlo cros...

Identification of key genes involved in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the most common cancer originating from the nasopharynx. Objective: To study the mechanisms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we analyzed GSE12452 microarray data. Methods: GSE12452 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and included 31 n...

Identification of the difference in the pathogenesis in heart failure arising from different etiologies using a microarray dataset

Clinics; 72 (10), 2017
OBJECTIVES: Clinically, patients with chronic heart failure arising from different etiologies receive the same treatment. However, the prognoses of these patients differ. The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether the pathogenesis of heart failure arising from different etiologies differs. METHO...

Transcriptome analysis of female and male flower buds of Idesia polycarpa Maxim. var. vestita Diels

Background: Idesia polycarpa Maxim. var. vestita Diels, a dioecious plant, is widely used for biodiesel due to the high oil content of its fruits. However, it is hard to distinguish its sex in the seedling stage, which makes breeding and production problematic as only the female tree can produce fruits, ...

Candidate genes and pathogenesis investigation for sepsis-related acute respiratory distress syndrome based on gene expression profile

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a potentially devastating form of acute inflammatory lung injury as well as a major cause of acute respiratory failure. Although researchers have made significant progresses in elucidating the pathophysiology of this complex syndrome over the year...
