Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how monocyte miRNAs are involved in the immune responses during tuberculosis (TB), focusing on their expression profiles in different TB conditions, including drug-resistant TB, drug-sensitive TB, and latent TB, as well as in healthy individuals.* -
  • Using flow cytometry and NanoString profiling, researchers identified significant differences in miRNA expression, particularly noting downregulation in active TB cases and specific miRNA changes unique to drug-resistant and drug-sensitive TB.* -
  • The findings suggest that these miRNA signatures could serve as biomarkers for TB severity and drug resistance, highlighting the need for further research on their role in the immune response to tuberculosis.*

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesised from aqueous silver nitrate using the extracts of Arachis hypogaea peels. The synthesised SNPs were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy analysis, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy analysis and high-resonance scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. AgNPs were well defined and measured 20 to 50 nm in size.

The utilization of various plant resources for the bio synthesis of metallic nano particles is called green technology and it does not utilize any harmful protocols. Present study focuses on the green synthesis of ZnO nano particles by Zinc Carbonate and utilizing the bio-components of powder extract of dry ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale). The ZnO nano crystallites of average size range of 23-26 nm have been synthesized by rapid, simple and eco friendly method.

The Fourier-Transform infrared and Fourier-Transform Raman spectra of thiophene-2-carbohydrazide (TCH) was recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1) and 3500-100 cm(-1). Quantum chemical calculations of energies, geometrical structure and vibrational wavenumbers of TCH were carried out by DFT (B3LYP) method with 6-311++G(d,p) as basis set. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamentals is very small.

The experimental FT-IR (4000-400 cm(-1)) and FT-Raman (3500-100 cm(-1)) spectra of 4-Methylmorpholine were recorded. The observed bands were interpreted with the aid of normal coordinate analysis and force field calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP functional with 6-311+G and 6-3++G basis sets. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the potential energy distribution (PED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanical (SQM) method.
