We have analysed the nuclear DNA content in a series of 33 thyroid tumours (18 carcinomas and 15 adenomas) and, for comparison, in 189 nodular strumas and 17 tissue samples of normal thyroids, calculating cell cycle parameters and presence of aneuploid DNA. Cell suspensions were prepared for each of three tissue fragments taken for different areas of the surgical specimens. Cell subpopulations with aneuploid DNA content were present in 39% of carcinomas, 27% of adenomas, 20% of strumas, but were absent in the samples from normal thyroids. The presence of hyperdiploid DNA was much more frequent than that of hypodiploid DNA in all pathologic tissues. The mean proliferation index was 14.1 in the carcinomas, 6.6 in the adenomas, 7.1 in the strumas and 6.1 in normal thyroid tissues. The percent of histograms with a coefficient of variation of the G0-G1 peak greater than 5 was highest in the carcinomas (26%). The significance and implications of the reported data are discussed for the interpretation of thyroid neoplastic pathologies.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of the Vaccine Production Process in Removing Residual Host Cell DNA from the Vero Cell Rabies Vaccine.

Background: The Vero cell rabies vaccine is currently the most widely used human rabies vaccine. However, owing to the presence of residual host cell DNA (HCD) in the final product and the potential tumorigenicity of the DNA of high-passage Vero cells, the WHO not only sets a limit on the number of times cells used in production can be passaged, but also imposes strict requirements on the amount of residual HCD in the final vaccine product.
Objectives: To systematically reduce the HCD level in the final vaccine product, multiple purification steps are included in the vaccine production process.

Sulfidogenic bacteria cause numerous issues in the oil industry since they produce sulfide, corroding steel equipment, reducing oil quality, and worsening the environmental conditions in oil fields. The purpose of this work was to isolate and taxonomically identify the sulfidogenic bacteria responsible for the corrosion of steel equipment at the Karazhanbas oil field (Kazakhstan). In this study, we characterized five sulfidogenic strains of the genera , , and isolated from the formation water of the Karazhanbas oil field (Kazakhstan).

A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and spore-forming bacterium strain designation, B190/17, was isolated from an air monitoring sample of a Brazilian immunobiological production facility in 2017. The strain was not identifiable by biochemical methodology VITEK 2 or by MALDI-TOF MS with VITEK MS RUO and MALDI Biotyper. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing results showed 98.

Beer and its components show potential for reducing hepatic steatosis in rodent models through multiple mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate beer's anti-steatotic effects in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mouse model of Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Liver Disease (MASLD) and to explore the underlying mechanisms. In the HFD group, steatosis was confirmed by altered blood parameters, weight gain, elevated liver lipid content, and histological changes.
