Phytoremediation of formaldehyde by three selected non-native indoor plant species.

Formaldehyde is an organic volatile compound and a commonly used chemical in various construction materials thus causing dwellers to be exposed to it inside a building. Its remediation from indoor air has been carried out through various techniques where potted plants and living walls are at the front foot. It is necessary to study plants under various conditions for their efficiency.

Expression profile of serum LncRNAs and and their correlation with Mayo severity score in ulcerative colitis patients can diagnose and predict the prognosis of the disease.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) has emerged as an accelerated-incidence chronic condition. UC has been identified as a precancerous lesion for colorectal cancer. Up-to-date genomic research revealed the value of many noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in UC pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prognosis.

1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol down-regulates 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfur transferase and caspase-3 in rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the commonest cause of liver morbidity and mortality and has multiple unclear pathogenic mechanisms. Vitamin D deficiency was associated with increased incidence and severity of NAFLD. Increased hepatic expression of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfur transferase (MPST) and dysregulated hepatocyte apoptosis were involved in NAFLD pathogenesis.

LncRNAs , , and and non-hypertensive associated cerebrovascular stroke patients, and its link to clinical characteristics and severity score of the disease.

Background: Cerebrovascular stroke (CVS) is a potentially fatal disease. The most common risk factor for CVS is hypertension.

Aim: While most studies in the field have focused on the functional roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) NEAT1, GAS5, and HOTAIR in CVS, less attention has been paid to their clinical relevance to stroke incidence and prognosis.

The Ifng antisense RNA 1 () and growth arrest-specific transcript 5 () are novel diagnostic and prognostic markers involved in childhood ITP.

is a long noncoding RNA that works as an enhancer for the Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) transcript. (growth arrest-specific 5) is a lncRNA that is associated with glucocorticoid resistance. Aberrant expressions of and are directly linked to numerous autoimmune disorders but their levels in childhood ITP are still obscure.

Phytoremediation of indoor formaldehyde by plants and plant material.

Formaldehyde evolves from various household items and is of environmental and public health concern. Removal of this contaminant from the indoor air is of utmost importance and currently, various practices are in the field. Among these practices, indoor plants are of particular importance because they help in controlling indoor temperature, moisture, and oxygen concentration.
