Article Synopsis
  • Buffaloes play a vital role in agriculture, but their mitochondrial biology is under-researched, leading to a study that looks at how the SDH gene is expressed in different buffalo tissues (kidneys, hearts, brains, and ovaries).
  • Using RNA-seq data, researchers analyzed the expression of SDH subunits and assembly factors, identifying significant variations across tissues and their implications for energy metabolism and buffalo health.
  • The results showed distinct expression patterns with specific up-regulations linked to mitochondrial functions, particularly highlighting important variations in the ovary that could inform better livestock management practices.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
