Article Abstract
The molecular weight of the extracellular hemoglobin of Tubifex tubifex determined by equilibrium sedimentation is 3.0 +/- 0.2 . 10(6). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate showed that the hemoglobin dissociated into four subunits: 13 000 (subunit 1), 21 000 (subunit 2), 23 000 (subunit 3) and 47 000 (subunit 4); in the presence of mercaptoethanol two subunits were observed, 13 000 +/- 1000 (subunit I) accounting for 70--80% of the whole molecule, and 26 000 (subunit II). Electrophoresis of the subunits obtained in the absence of mercaptoethanol showed that subunit I originated from subunits 1 and 4, while subunit II originated from subunits 2 and 3. These relationships were supported by N-terminal group determinations. Gel filtration in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride showed that the molecular weight of subunit I is 17 500 and that of subunit II, 36 000. Tubifex hemoglobin appears to consist of at least seven polypeptide chains.

January 2025
Institute of Science and Technology, Division of Periodontics, São Paulo State University (Unesp), Av. Eng. Francisco José Longo, 777, São José dos Campos, São Paulo, 12245-000, Brazil.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the salivary protein profile in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) and periodontitis and their respective controls.
Methods: Eighty participants were included in the study. The four groups were formed by individuals with DM2 and periodontitis (DM2 + P, n = 20), DM2 without periodontitis (DM2, n = 20), periodontitis without DM2 (P, n = 20) and individuals without periodontitis and without DM2 (H, n = 20).

Division of Animal Biotechnology, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences & Animal Husbandry, SKUAST Kashmir, Shuhama, J&K, 190006, India.
Background: Salmonella infections represent a major global public health concern due to their widespread zoonotic transmission, antimicrobial resistance, and associated morbidity and mortality. This review aimed to summarize the zoonotic nature of Salmonella, the challenges posed by antimicrobial resistance, the global burden of infections, and the need for effective vaccination strategies to mitigate the rising threat of Salmonella.
Methods: A systematic review of literature was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors related to the failure of initial combined local methotrexate (MTX) treatment and minimally invasive surgery for late cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted between January 2016 and December 2023, involving patients with late CSP (≥ 8 weeks) who received local MTX injection combined with either hysteroscopic or laparoscopic surgery. Cesarean scar pregnancy was classified as type I, II, or III based on the direction of growth of the gestational sac and the residual myometrial thickness as assessed by ultrasound.
