An innovative method of a DNA electrochemical biosensor based on Oracet Blue (OB) as an electroactive label and gold electrode (AuE) for detection of Helicobacter pylori, was offered. A single-stranded DNA probe with a thiol modification was covalently immobilized on the surface of the AuE by forming an Au-S bond. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to monitor DNA hybridization by measuring the electrochemical signals of reduction of the OB binding to double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA). Our results showed that OB-based DNA biosensor has a decent potential for detection of single-base mismatch in target DNA. Selectivity of the proposed DNA biosensor was further confirmed in the presence of non-complementary and complementary DNA strands. Under optimum conditions, the electrochemical signal had a linear relationship with the concentration of the target DNA ranging from 0.3 nmol L-1 to 240.0 nmol L-1, and the detection limit was 0.17 nmol L-1, whit a promising reproducibility and repeatability.

Summary: The study revealed that in patients with preeclampsia, the expression level of miRNA-326 in CD4(+) cells increased, leading to the inhibition of Ets-1, a negative regulator of Th17 cell development. Additionally, the number and expression level of Th17 cells and transcription factor ROR gamma t increased, while Treg cells and transcription factor Foxp3 showed a decrease. Flow cytometry analysis indicated an increase in the Th17/Treg ratio, along with heightened expression levels of cytokines and anti-angiogenic molecules in isolated CD4(+) cells from preeclampsia patients.

Effects of aging and diabetes on the deformation mechanisms and molecular structural characteristics of collagen fibrils under daily activity

Wei-Han Hui, Yen-Lin Chen, Shu-Wei Chang

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
