The aim of the study was to determine associations of factor VII:C levels in 140 South Asian stroke subjects and 143 first-degree relatives versus age-sex matched 146 control subjects without a personal or a family history of stroke subjects living in UK. There were no significant differences in Factor VII:C levels or FVII Msp I gene polymorphism (Arg-Gln 353) R353Q genotype frequency between the groups. R353Q genotype determined Factor VII:C levels in all the three groups. Factor VII:C levels correlated with triglycerides (patients, r = 0.23; relatives r = 27; control subjects, r = 0.24) and plasminogen activator inhibitor activity (patients, r = 0.30; relatives r = 0.22; control subjects r = 0.20) in all the three groups, but with insulin only in patients (p = 0.19). Circulating levels of Factor VII:C are determined by R353Q genotype and cluster with other risk factors associated with insulin resistance in South Asian ischaemic stroke patients, first-degree relatives and control subjects but are not related to stroke or a family history of stroke.

Animals have been identified as the potential reservoirs of rotavirus group A (RVA) for human infection. However, very little is known regarding the genotype and genomic profiles of circulating RVA in Tanzanian piglets. The rotavirus genetic diversity and genome analysis was assessed among piglets from Southern highlands and Eastern Tanzania.

Background: Factor VIIc, fibrinogen, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) are cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and are modulated, in part, by fat type and amount.
Objective: We evaluated fat type and amount on the primary outcomes: factor VIIc, fibrinogen, and PAI-1.
Methods: In the Dietary Effects on Lipoproteins and Thrombogenic Activity (DELTA) Trial, 2 controlled crossover feeding studies evaluated substituting carbohydrate or MUFAs for SFAs.

Associations between temperature and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality have been reported, but the underlying biological mechanisms remain uncertain. We explored the association between apparent temperature and serum biomarkers for CVD. Using linear mixed effects models, we examined the relationships between residence-proximate apparent temperature (same day and 1, 7, and 30 days prior) and several inflammatory, hemostatic, and lipid biomarkers for midlife women from 1999 through 2004.

Background: Cancer is a major health problem to human beings around the world. Many quinazoline derivatives were reported to have potent cytotoxic activity.
Aims: Our aim in this work is the discovery of potent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors with anti-breast cancer activity containing 4-substituted quinazoline pharmacophore.

TRIM5α from the rhesus macaque (TRIM5αRh) is a restriction factor that shows strong activity against HIV-1. TRIM5αRh binds specifically to HIV-1 capsid (CA) through its B30.2/PRYSPRY domain shortly after entry of the virus into the cytoplasm.
