A competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ciELISA) for podophyllotoxin was developed by using polyclonal antibody, and its suitability for the determination of this analyte in spiked water samples was studied. To avoid antibody production to the linker, the succinoyl-podophyllotoxin (hapten) mimicking the analyte was synthesized and conjugated with the carrier proteins bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (OVA) by mixed anhydride reaction (MAR) and active ester method (AEM). Polyclonal antibodies raised against Hapten-BSA(1) synthesized by MAR and Hapten-BSA(2) by AEM were screened and selected for the ciELISA. One set of antibodies from the rabbit M4440 immunized with Hapten--BSA(1) showed an I(50) value of 2.21 microg/mL with a detection limit of 0.12 microg/mL, and the other set from the rabbit M4469 immunized with Hapten-BSA(2) had an I(50) value of 0.7897 microg/mL with a detection limit of 0.0056 microg/mL. This assay showed the cross-reactivities with the structurally closely related compounds. Recoveries from the podophyllotoxin-fortified tap water in the assay were in the range of 72--115%. A good correlation between podophyllotoxin concentration measured by the ELISA and HPLC (R(2)=0.9924, Y=1.195X-0.257) was obtained from linear regression analysis. These results indicate that the ELISA could be a convenient and supplemental analytical tool for monitoring podophyllotoxin and its analogues in waters without previous extraction or cleanup.

Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune condition marked by hair loss, linked to inflammatory processes involving the interleukin-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) pathway. This study aims to explore the relationship between IL-1R1 gene expression, serum IL-1R1 levels, and hsa-miR-19b-3p in relation to AA severity. Using a case-control design, we assessed 100 AA patients and 100 healthy controls, measuring serum IL-1R1 through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and analyzing IL-1R1 gene and hsa-miR-19b-3p expression levels via quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) represents a persistent inflammatory condition affecting the upper respiratory tract, characterized by abnormal initiation of the immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated cascade. Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells and regulatory T (Tfr) cells are pivotal in orchestrating the development of IgE production in AR patients.

Background: Currently, the pathophysiology of new bone formation in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) remains unclear. Cellular elements and their secreted bone turnover markers might be one of the underlying mechanisms that drive the new bone formation. Our study aimed to investigate the role of bone turnover markers in r-axSpA patients with fatty lesions.

Background: Aerobic vaginitis (AV) is a state of abnormal vaginal microbiota, which is associated with increased numbers of aerobic, enteric bacteria and inflammation of the vaginal epithelium. Anti-microbial treatment combined with anti-inflammatory therapy could be useful in the treatment of this condition. It is known that calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, plays an important role in modulating the immune response in several inflammatory diseases.
