Case report: A case of advanced gastric cancer with multiple skin metastases, with significant relief from immunotherapy
We reported a rare case of female gastric cancer. The patient had undergone subtotal gastrectomy and chemotherapy 13 years ago, followed by a subsequent surgery of residual stomach, partial jejunum, and partial colon resection 11 years later. The pathological examination revealed poorly differentiated stomach adenocarcinoma, Lauren classification: diffuse type. The patient received 2 cycles of SOX chemotherapy. Two years later, cauliflower-like skin nodules, which were surgically excised, appeared on the back. The histopathological examination showed a spindle cell tumor; no specific anti-tumor treatment was administered. ...

Construction of viral-based expression vectors for high-level production of human interferon alpha 2b in plants
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2024 Feb 23;108(1):229. doi: 10.1007/s00253-024-13069-7.ABSTRACTHuman interferon (hINF) alpha 2b is clinically important pharmaceutical product included in combinatory therapy against chronic hepatitis C and B and complex therapy against several cancer diseases. Here, we created the genetic constructions, based on genome elements of potato virus X (PVX), carrying the infα2b gene for transient expression in plant cells. The created plasmid vector constructions were tested through Agrobacterium-mediated transient gene expression method in two plant species-Nicotiana benthamiana and Ocimum basilicu...

Meta-transcriptomic identification of groundnut RNA viruses in western Kenya and the novel detection of groundnut as a host for Cauliflower mosaic virus
CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate the power of Next Generation Sequencing in the discovery and identification of novel viruses in groundnuts. The detection of the new viruses indicates the complexity of virus diseases in groundnuts and would require more focus in future studies to establish the effect of the viruses as sole or mixed infections on the crop. The detection of PeMoV with potential origin from Malawi indicates the importance of seed certification and cross-boundary seed health testing.PMID:38367474 | DOI:10.1016/j.virol.2024.110011 (Source: Virology)

Association of Common Foods with Inflammation and Mortality: Analysis from a Large Prospective Cohort Study
J Med Food. 2024 Feb 14. doi: 10.1089/jmf.2023.0203. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSome dietary patterns are associated with inflammation, while others lower inflammation and improve health. However, many people cannot follow a complete, healthy diet. Therefore, this study's aim was to identify specific foods associated chronic inflammation and mortality. The study used Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) research materials from the NHLBI Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center. Three plant-based and three animal-based MESA food categories were chosen based on perceived availability i...

Antibacterial Effect of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles Prepared by Laser Production in Water Against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
AbstractThe rates of mortality and morbidity from treatment failures have increased due to microorganisms ’ growing resistance to antimicrobial medicines, signaling a severe hazard in the near future. Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using the laser penetration in water (LPW) method, which is regarded as an innovative and effective technique for producing a wide range of nanomateri als. The physical properties of the prepared NPs were studied by identifying them by dynamic light scattering (DLS), UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (X...
