Exploring the active constituents of Oroxylum indicum in intervention of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) based on molecular docking method
We report in this study a molecular docking study of eighteenOroxylum indicum molecules with the main protease (Mpro) responsible for the replication of SARS-CoV-2 virus. The outcome of their molecular simulation and ADMET properties reveal four potential inhibitors of the enzyme (Baicalein-7-O-diglucoside, Chrysin-7-O-glucuronide, Oroxindin and Scutellarein) with preference of ligand Chrysin-7-O-glucuronide that has the second highest binding energy ( − 8.6 kcal/mol) and fully obeys the Lipinski’s rule of five.Graphical abstract (Source: Network Modeling Analysis in Health Informatics and Bioinformatics)

Identification of potential Parkinson ’s disease biomarkers using computational biology approaches
This study was conducted on an RNA-seq dataset of PD collected from BA9 tiss ues to get insights to PD. A few RNA-seq based transcriptomics studies on PD are available. However, most of these studies are limited to differential expression analysis, i.e., individual gene-based analysis that ignores interactions and associations among genes to establish the association with th e disease. Here, we initially identify differentially expressed genes and then construct a co-expression network on detected genes to identify modules. Module preservation analysis is carried out to find the non-preserved modules. We identify a non-pre...

A compressive mathematical model including an eclipse stage of infected cells to study the impact of stem cells transplantation on one HIV1 patient
AbstractWe propose a new mathematical model to study the effect of stem cells transplantation on HIV-1 patient as a system of first order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. We include in this model five populations: stem cells, free virus, productively infected cells, infected cells in the eclipse stage and non-infected T cells. The model admits two equilibrium states: a non-infected point and an endemically infected one. The study of the stability of the system before treatment is already known: If the “basic reproduction number” is smaller than 1, then the free disease point is asymptotically stable. If the ...

Epicatechin an incredible tool to dissociate MDM2-p53 interaction for treatment of glioblastomas: a molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation approach
AbstractGlioblastomas, aggressive tumors that arise from malignant transformation of astrocytes, account for 60% brain cancer cases. Current treatments including radiation and chemotherapy accompanied by surgeries result in an average survival increment of 15  months. New therapeutics based on molecular pathology and pathways demonstrate great scope. p53, a tumor-suppressor protein is downregulated by MDM2. In malignant conditions, MDM2 levels increase immensely due to genetic mutations, causing excessive p53 downregulation, thereby enhancing malignancy to extremities. Inhibition of MDM-2 to p53 interaction by potent inhi...

Biological analysis and application research of the influence of exercise on pulse wave velocity (PWV)
AbstractPulse wave velocity (PWV) refers to the conduction velocity of the pressure wave propagated by the wall of the aorta when the human heart beats. In most cases, people regard it as an important indicator for evaluating the stiffness of arteries. In recent years, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases has continued to increase in our country, and the age of onset has continued to be younger. To better prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases, the assessment of arterial stiffness has become an important goal of many scholars at this stage. Exercise has always been one of the best choices for people to keep fit, and...

The human GPCR signal transduction network
AbstractThe eukaryotic cell surface G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with a wide spectrum of ligands. The intracellular transmission of the extracellular signal is mediated by the selective coupling of GPCRs to G proteins, which, in turn, activate downstream effectors. GPCRs are of paramount pharmacological importance, with approximately 40% of all commercial drugs targeting these proteins. Herein, we have made an effort to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying the GPCR-mediated signaling pathway and the way this pathway is associated with diseases. Network-based approaches were utilized to delineate the ...

Compartment modelling and eigenvalue expansion to study the drug concentration in capillary and tissue regions surrounding the malignant tumour
AbstractThe drug transport mechanism in the biological tissue can be modelled for its effective and efficient performance. Mathematics is playing a key role in almost all biomedical research problems including drug kinetics. A mathematical model based on reaction –diffusion equation has been formulated to understand the drug transport and its diffusion in a cancerous tissue. The eigenvalue expansion has been used to obtain the solution of the ordinary differential equations concerning the rate of change of drug concentration in different compartments inclu ding capillary and tissue regions surrounding the malignant tumou...

In silico study to quantify the effect of exercise on surface GLUT4 translocation in diabetes management
AbstractType 2 diabetes mellitus is a serious metabolic disorder affecting global health and results in number of serious life-threatening complications leading to increased mortality rate. Complications can be prevented with early diagnosis and appropriate care. International Diabetes Federation and World Health Organization suggested an urgent need of national level actions to prevent type 2 diabetes. The adverse effects of adherence to drugs as antidiabetic agents at later stages cannot be avoided. Hence, alternative therapies are constantly explored by the researchers to mitigate type 2 diabetes. Exercise has a signifi...

Classification of heart sound short records using bispectrum analysis approach images and deep learning
AbstractThe diagnosis of cardiac disorders using heart sounds is one of the hottest topics in recent years. In general, diagnosing in the early stage is usually performed using routine auscultation examination using a stethoscope which requires human interpretation. Recording of heart sounds using an electronic microphone embedded inside the stethoscope provides a digital recording which is known as a phonocardiogram (PCG). This PCG signal carries very informative data about the status of the heart and its valves. Recently, several machines and deep learning techniques employed signal processing to classify heart disorders...

Disease discovery-based emotion lexicon: a heuristic approach to characterise sicknesses in microblogs
This study proposes a heuristic mechanism by using an unsupervised learning technique to efficiently detect disease incidents and outbreaks from the tweet content. We categorised the types of emotions that are highly linked to a specific disease and its related terminologies. Emotions (anger, fear, sadness, and joy) and diabetes-related terminologies were extracted using the NRC Affect Intensity Lexicon and part-of-speech tagging tool. A two-cluster solution was established and validated. The classification results showed that K-means clustering with two centroids had the highest classification accuracy (96.53%). The relat...

Improving the performance of P300 BCI system using different methods
AbstractA brain –computer interface (BCI) can be used for people with severe physical disabilities such as ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. BCI can allow these individuals to communicate again by creating a new communication channel directly from the brain to an output device. BCI technology can allow paral yzed people to share their intent with others, and thereby demonstrate that direct communication from the brain to the external world is possible, and that it might serve useful functions. In this paper, we propose a system to exploit the P300 signal in the brain, a positive deflection in event-rela ted potentia...
