Strategies That Facilitate Extraction-Free SARS-CoV-2 Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented global demand for in vitro diagnostic reagents. Supply shortages and hoarding have impacted testing capacity which has led to inefficient COVID-19 case identification and transmission control, predominantly in developing countries. Traditionally, RNA extraction is a prerequisite for conducting SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT); however, simplified methods of sample processing have been successful at bypassing typical nucleic acid extraction steps, enabling extraction-free SARS-CoV-2 NAAT workflows. These methods involve chemical and physical approaches that are inexpensive and easily accessible alternatives to overcome extraction kit supply shortages, while offering acceptable test performance. Here we provide an overview of three main sample preparation strategies that have been shown to facilitate extraction-free SARS-CoV-2 NAATs.     

Extraction of Alkalis from Silicate Materials Part 1—Amorphous Silicate Materials

The main building materials widely used worldwide are those based on cement, glass, and ceramics. Taking into account the fact that the raw material base for the production of these materials is narrowing, and the quality of raw materials is declining, methods are being used to modify the structure of silicate materials in order to improve their properties when using cheaper raw materials and industrial waste, which should help reduce the energy intensity of their production. One of the ways to reduce energy consumption is the use of alkaline components in the chemical composition of silicate materials, which makes it possible to reduce the temperature of their synthesis. However, the presence of alkalis in the material at the stage of the operation is undesirable since it contributes, for example, to a decrease in the chemical resistance of silicate glasses or leads to the phenomenon of alkaline corrosion in cement products. In this regard, in order to reduce the negative impact of alkalis, it is necessary to extract them from the surface layers of the silicate material. There are various methods for extracting alkalis from silicate materials, some of which are presented in this article.

Mitochondrial DNA in human hair shafts – existence of intra-individual differences?

The sequences of the hypervariable region 1 (HV1) of the mitochondrial DNA control region from multiple hair shafts from 10 unrelated individuals were compared to determine the frequency of differences in hairs from one individual. The extraction method described herein showed an average success rate of 67% for all 150 hair shafts tested in HV1. The mtDNA sequences from the hair shafts matched the sequences from the corresponding blood and saliva samples taken from the same donor and no evidence of heteroplasmy was found. The results emphasize the reliability of DNA extraction and mtDNA typing from human hair shafts for forensic purposes. Received: 16 July 1998 / Received in revised form: 31 August 1998     

Effects of tooth rotation on neighboring teeth and periodontal tissues

In the present experiment,we investigate the effects of orthodontic tooth rotation onneighboring teeth and periodontal tissues.The second maxillary incisors of 16 randomly selecteddogs were subjected to rotation at a magnitude of 100 grams and a moment of 550 g·mm in a du-ration of 3 to 56 days.Then sections were prepared for histological examination.The findings re-vealed that,due to tooth rotation,neighboring teeth were drifted and rotated(82%),and therewere disarrangement and hyalinization of the periodontal ligament(88%),remodeling of the pe-riodontium(86%)and root resorption(32%)were also observed.These results demonstratethat tooth rotation may exert marked effects on neighboring teeth and periodontal tissues,whichmay be of important clinical significance.
