The Humantype Chimera PCR Amplification Kit contains 12 polymorphic loci (ACTBP2 (= SE33), D18S51, D4S2366, D6S474, D8S1132, D12S391, D2S1360, D3S1744, D5S2500, D7S1517, D10S2325, D21S2055), of which the latter 10 loci have not been used extensively for human identity testing. The sex determinant locus amelogenin is also included in the kit. Amplification was successful on a variety of thermal cyclers and the amplicons could be analyzed on both the ABI PRISM 310 and 3100 Genetic Analyzers. Complete genotyping results from single source samples were possible between 0.25 and 2 ng of DNA template. Heterozygote imbalance (< 60% peak height balance) caused by stochastic effects was observed at a rate of around 5%. No deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed. Thus, there were no detectable significant deviations from the expected genetic independence of alleles.

Objectives: Wishes to hasten death (WTHDs) are common in patients with serious illness. The Schedule of Attitudes Toward Hastened Death (SAHD) is a validated 20-item instrument for measuring WTHD. Two short versions have also been developed based on statistical item selection.

Background/purpose: Titanium (Ti) is extensively used in dental and orthopedic implants due to its excellent mechanical properties. However, its smooth and biologically inert surface does not support the ingrowth of new bone, and Ti ions may have adverse biological effects. The purpose is to improve the corrosion resistance of titanium and create a 3D structured coating to enhance osseointegration through a very simple and fast surface treatment.

Background: Ferroptosis is a cell death process that depends on iron and reactive oxygen species. It significantly contributes to cardiovascular diseases. However, its exact role in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is still unclear.

Irinotecan (CPT11) chemotherapy-induced diarrhea affects a substantial cancer population due to -glucuronidase (Gus) converting 10--glucuronyl-7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38G) to toxic 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38). Existing interventions primarily address inflammation and Gus enzyme inhibition, neglecting epithelial repair and Gus-expressing bacteria. Herein, we discovered that dehydrodiisoeugenol (DDIE), isolated from nutmeg, alleviates CPT11-induced intestinal mucositis alongside a synergistic antitumor effect with CPT11 by improving weight loss, colon shortening, epithelial barrier dysfunction, goblet cells and intestinal stem cells (ISCs) loss, and wound-healing.
