The influence of cobalt ferrite particles, with non-modified or modified surface, on the course of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was investigated. DNA isolated from bacterial cells of Bifidobacterium bifidum was used in PCR evaluation of magnetic microspheres. The presence of cobalt ferrite particles inhibits PCR amplification. The effect is not dependent on the functional groups of the modifying reagents used (none, amino, carboxyl). Amplification was improved after the magnetic separation of magnetic particles. Proposed indirect method enabled verification of the suitability of designed particles for their application in PCR assays. Magnetic particles coated with alginic acid under high PEG and sodium chloride concentration were used for the isolation of PCR-ready bacterial DNA from various dairy products. DNA was isolated from crude bacterial cell lysates without phenol extraction of samples. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus DNAs were identified in dairy products using PCR.

Clinical evidence increasingly suggests that traditional treatments for dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) have limited success. In this study, blood samples from 10 DUB patients and 10 healthy controls were collected for transcriptome sequencing. Then, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened and crossed with the DUB-related module genes to obtain the target genes.

In the early stages, chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be asymptomatic, marking diagnosis difficult. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic role and potential regulatory mechanisms of nucleolar protein 14 (NOP14) -antisense RNA 1 (AS1) in patients with CKD. Herein, 68 patients with CKD, 65 patients with CKD undergoing peridialysis, and 80 healthy adults were included.

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is continuously shed by all cells in the body, but the regulation of this process and its physiological functions are still largely unknown. Previous research has demonstrated that both nuclear (cf-nDNA) and mitochondrial (cf-mtDNA) cfDNA levels increase in plasma in response to acute psychosocial and physical stress in males. This study further investigated these findings by testing 31 female participants (16 using oral hormonal contraception and 15 not using oral hormonal contraception), and the results were subsequently compared with those of 16 male participants.

Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) often results in renal impairment. While the presence of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is consistently observed, their specific impact on IRI is not yet defined. Sivelestat sodium, an inhibitor of neutrophil elastase which is crucial for NET formation, may offer a therapeutic approach to renal IRI, warranting further research.
