Mentha longifolia assisted nanostructures: An approach to obliterate microbial biofilms.

Microbes maneuver strategies to become incessant and biofilms perfectly play a role in scaling up virulence to cause long-lasting infections. The present study was designed to assess the use of an eco-friendly formulation of functionalized silver nanoparticles generated from Mentha longifolia leaf extract (MℓE) for the treatment of biofilm-producing microbes. Nanoparticles synthesized using MℓE as a reducing agent were optimized at different strengths of AgNO3 (1 mM, 2 mM, 3 mM, and 4 mM).

Adenomyosis and Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Review of the Evidence.

Background: Thomas Cullen described bleeding abnormalities and dysmenorrhea as the "expected" presentations of adenomyomas. Adenomyosis is included within the FIGO classification of structural causes of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Nevertheless, this long-standing association has been questioned by some authors who reported a high incidence of adenomyosis in uteri removed for indications other than AUB or dysmenorrhea.

ALYREF/THOC4 expression and cell growth modulation in retinoblastoma.

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that ALYREF/THOC4, a poor prognostic factor in different cancer types, has potential as a drug target and prognostic biomarker for retinoblastoma (RB). Immunostaining (IHC), Western blot, and RT-qPCR analyses detected overexpression of ALYREF in the RB cell lines Y79, RB143, WERI-RB1, and RB116. IHC analysis on RB tumor array showed that 11/14 of RB tumors were ALYREF+ to varying degrees, with eight tumors at maximum 3+ intensity.
