Deciphering tissue-specific expression profiles of mitochondrial genome-encoded tRNAs and rRNAs through transcriptomic profiling in buffalo.

Background: Mitochondria, essential for cellular energy production through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), integrate mt-DNA and nuclear-encoded genes. This cooperation extends to the mitochondrial translation machinery, involving crucial mtDNA-encoded RNAs: 22 tRNAs (mt-tRNAs) as adapters and two rRNAs (mt-rRNAs) for ribosomal assembly, enabling mitochondrial-encoded mRNA translation. Disruptions in mitochondrial gene expression can strongly impact energy generation and overall animal health.

Nuclear Genome-Encoded Mitochondrial OXPHOS Complex I Genes in Female Buffalo Show Tissue-Specific Differences.

Buffalo physiology intricately balances energy, profoundly influencing health, productivity, and reproduction. This study explores nuclear-mitochondrial crosstalk, revealing OXPHOS Complex I gene expression variations in buffalo tissues through high-throughput RNA sequencing. Unveiling tissue-specific disparities, the research elucidates the genomic landscape of crucial energy production genes, with broader implications for veterinary and agricultural progress.

Differential Expression of Nuclear-Encoded Mitochondrial Protein Genes of ATP Synthase Across Different Tissues of Female Buffalo.

The physiological well-being of buffaloes, encompassing phenotypic traits, reproductive health, and productivity, depends on their energy status. Mitochondria, the architects of energy production, orchestrate a nuanced interplay between nuclear and mitochondrial domains. Oxidative phosphorylation complexes and associated proteins wield significant influence over metabolic functions, energy synthesis, and organelle dynamics, often linked to tissue-specific pathologies.

Supersaturation Behavior: Investigation of Polymers Impact on Nucleation Kinetic Profile for Rationalizing the Polymeric Precipitation Inhibitors.

Background: Although nucleation kinetic data is quite important for the concept of supersaturation behavior, its part in rationalizing the crystallization inhibitor has not been well understood.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the nucleation kinetic profile of Dextromethorphan HBr (as an ideal drug, BCS-II) by measuring liquid-liquid phase segregation, nucleation induction time, and Metastable Zone width.

Methods: Surfeit action was examined by a superfluity assay of the drug.

Understanding the Phytoestrogen Genistein Actions on Breast Cancer: Insights on Estrogen Receptor Equivalence, Pleiotropic Essence and Emerging Paradigms in Bioavailability Modulation.

Prevalent as a major phenolic ingredient of soy and soy products, genistein is recognized as an eminent phytoestrogen owing to its interacting ability with estrogen receptors (ERs). The metabolic conversion of plant-derived genistin to genistein by gut microbes and intestinal enzymes enhances its absorption at intestinal pH of ~7.5-7.

Development and Validation of Discriminatory Dissolution Testing Method for Fast Dispersible Tablets of BCS Class II Drug.

Objectives: Fast dispersible tablets (FDTs) get dispersed very fast due to which the discrimination of drug release and their evaluation is difficult. Hence in the present study a new discriminatory dissolution method was developed and validated for FDTs of domperidone of BCS class II.

Materials And Methods: FDTs of domperidone were prepared by direct compression method.

Chlorpheniramine maleate containing chitosan-based nanoparticle-loaded thermosensitive in situ gel for management in allergic rhinitis.

The aim of the present study was to fabricate a thermosensitive gel containing chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM)-loaded nanoparticles following intranasal administration for effective treatment of allergic rhinitis. Chitosan-based nanoparticles were prepared by a precipitation method followed by the addition of developed NPs within the poloxamer 407- and carbopol 934P-based mucoadhesive thermoreversible gel. Developed formulations were evaluated for particle size, PDI, % entrapment efficiency, and % cumulative drug permeation.

Perianal Dermatitis, Its Incidence, and Patterns of Topical Therapies in a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Objective:  To define the incidence of perianal dermatitis (PD) and determine the usage pattern and cost efficacy of diaper products among neonates admitted to a level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) including those with a diagnosis of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS).

Methods:  A retrospective cohort study to evaluate neonates with PD based on number of orders for Aquaphor, Bagbalm, Desitin, Flanders, or Nystatin. Various demographic and clinical parameters were recorded.

Neonatal Nasopharyngeal Colonization with Group B Streptococcus and its Association with Clinical Sepsis.

Objective This study aims to determine whether nasopharyngeal (NP) colonization with group B streptococcus (GBS) is associated with early-onset clinical sepsis within 72 hours of birth, prolonged antibiotic duration, longer neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay, and delay in tolerating full feeds among neonates ≥ 35 weeks gestation. Study Design A retrospective cohort study of 192 NICU neonates admitted for sepsis evaluation. Based on their GBS colonization status, the mother-neonate pairs were divided into four groups of mother-negative neonate (baby)-positive (MNBP), mother-positive neonate-positive (MPBP), mother-positive neonate-negative (MPBN), and a reference group of mother-negative neonate-negative (MNBN).

Elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures are associated with a lower risk of atrial fibrillation following lung transplantation.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common after open-chest procedures, but the etiology remains poorly understood. Lung transplant procedures allow for the study of novel contributing factors.

Methods: Records of lung transplant procedures performed at a single center between 2002 and 2009 were reviewed.
