Avaliação da infecção por Parvovírus Humano B19 em diferentes grupos populacionais: diagnóstico diferencial e aspectos imunopatogênicos da infecção aguda e persistente

A infecção pelo Parvovírus B19 (B19V) pode ocorrer em indivíduos imunocompetentes e imunocomprometidos, de todas as faixas etárias, e se caracteriza por ser aguda e autolimitada, podendo levar a quadros de doença exantemática (DE), doença febril aguda (DFA), doença renal crônica (DRC) e falênc...

Evaluation of nuclear NF-κB, transglutaminase2, and ERCC1 as predictors of platinum resistance in testicular tumors

Int. braz. j. urol; 46 (3), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: Testicular germ cells tumor (TGCT) are associated with a high cure rate and are treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. However, a group of testicular cancer patients may have a very unfavorable evolution and insensitivity to the main therapeutic agent chemotherapy (CT) cisplatin. Th...

Relationship between the Asp1104His polymorphism of the nucleotide excision repair gene ERCC5 and treatment sensitivity to oxaliplatin in patients with advanced colorectal cancer in China

Clinics; 73 (), 2018
OBJECTIVES: To study the relationship between the Asp1104His polymorphism of the nucleotide excision repair gene ERCC5 and treatment sensitivity to oxaliplatin in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) in China. METHODS: A group of 226 patients in the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Z...

Radiotherapy modulates expression of EGFR, ERCC1 and p53 in cervical cancer

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (1), 2018
Cervical cancer is a public health problem and the molecular mechanisms underlying radioresistance are still poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the modulation of key molecules involved in cell proliferation, cell cycle and DNA repair in cervical cancer cell lines (CASKI and C33A) and in malignant tiss...

Enzyme activity and thermostability of a non-specific nuclease from Yersinia enterocolitica subsp. palearctica by site-directed mutagenesis

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (6), 2016
Background: To identify the critical amino acid residues that contribute to the high enzyme activity and good thermostability of Yersinia enterocolitica subsp. palearctica (Y. NSN), 15 mutants of Y. NSN were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis in this study. And their enzyme activity and thermostabilit...
