AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates specific genetic alleles (L1014F, L1014S, L1014C, and G119S) linked to insecticide resistance in a malaria vector in Turkey.
  • Researchers collected 60 female mosquitoes from three provinces and used special techniques to test for these alleles.
  • The results showed a low presence of the L1014S allele in the studied populations, while the other mutations (L1014F, L1014C, G119S) were not detected at all.

Article Abstract

Objective: The study aims to determine the presence of L1014F, L1014S, L1014C alleles, which are responsible for knockdown resistance and G119S alleles, which are responsible for acetylcholinesterase insensitivity in , the secondary vector of malaria in Turkey.

Methods: In this study, 60 adult females were collected from Aydın, Denizli, and Muğla provinces. Then, allele-specific primers for L1014F, L1014S, and L1014C alleles, and the G119S allele were designed. The presence of these alleles was screened in three populations by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction.

Results: Although L1014S allele frequency was too low in Aydın, Muğla, and Denizli populations, neither L1014F and L1014C nor G119S mutations were found in any population.

Conclusion: In this study, L1014S mutation was detected for the first time in the Aegean populations.

The intestinal barrier function is a critical defense mechanism in the human body, serving as both the primary target and initiating organ in cases of sepsis. Preserving the integrity of this barrier is essential for preventing complications and diseases, including sepsis and mortality. Despite this importance, the impact of resveratrol on intestinal barrier function remains unclear.

BPV1, BPV2, BPV13, and BPV14 are all genotypes of bovine delta papillomaviruses (δPV), of which the first three cause infections in horses and are associated with equine sarcoids. However, BPV14 infection has never been reported in equine species. In this study, we examined 58 fresh and thawed commercial semen samples from healthy stallions.

Background: The emergence of colistin resistance in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a significant public health concern, as colistin has been the last resort for treating such infections. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of colistin-resistant CRKP isolates in Central South China.

Methods: CRKP isolates from twelve hospitals in Central South China were screened for colistin resistance using broth microdilution.

Background: The inelasticity of dartos tissue and the regulation of collagen expression are significant factors in the pathophysiology of chordee associated with hypospadias. While the COL2A1:COL1A1 ratio is recognised as a measure of cell differentiation, there is yet to be a study specifically examining this ratio in hypospadias. The aim of this study was to determine the COL2A1:COL1A1 ratio.

Background & Objective: Timely intervention for Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) could effectively reduce the mortality rate of ACS patients. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of miR-30c-5p for ACS and to provide a convenient biomarker for diagnosing of ACS.

Methods: Baseline information was collected from a total of 173 subjects (98 ACS subjects and 65 healthy subjects).
