Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is a stable 28 nm icosahedral plant virus that can be isolated in gram quantities. In order to study the polyvalent effect of Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) clustering on the response of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), an RGD motif was genetically displayed on the coat protein of the TYMV capsid. Composite films composed of either wild-type TYMV or TYMV-RGD44, in combination with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), were fabricated by a layer-by-layer adsorption of virus and PAH. The deposition process was studied by quartz crystal microbalance, UV-visible spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. BMSC adhesion assays showed enhanced cell adhesion and spreading on TYMV-RGD44 coated substrates compared to native TYMV. These results demonstrate the potential of TYMV as a viable scaffold for bioactive peptide display and cell culturing studies. 相似文献

Aim: To study the effects of Boesenbergia rotunda (Krachai) on sexual behaviour in male albino rats. Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were equally divided into four groups: experimental groups were gavaged with the ethanolic extract of the rhizome of B. rotunda at doses of 60, 120 and 240 mg/kg and a control group received distilled water, for 60 days. Sexual behaviour, reproductive organs, diameter of seminiferous tubule, epididymal sperm density, and androgenic hormones were evaluated. Results: Within 30-min observation, there was no significant difference of courtship behaviour, mount frequency (MF), intromission frequency (IF), mount latency (ML), intromission latency (IL), copulatory efficiency or intercopulatory interval in male rats. In three 10-min intervals over a 30-min period, courtship behaviour and MF during the first 10-min were significantly higher than those in the second and third i0-min observation in all groups, whereas IF had no significant difference. All doses of B. rotunda extract significantly increased the relative testicular weight and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules. The dose of 60 mg/kg also significantly increased the relative weight of the seminal vesicle. Nevertheless, the sperm density, serum testosterone and androstenedione levels were not affected by the B. rotunda extract. Conclusion: B. rotunda does not affect sexual behaviour nor serum androgenic levels. 相似文献

Patients with metabolic syndrome are at a higher risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis than the general population. Still, accessibility of screening method for NAFLD with significant fibrosis, such as transient elastography (FibroScan) are limited in some settings. This study aimed to develop a simple clinical predictive score for detecting NAFLD with significant fibrosis in patients with metabolic syndrome.A cross-sectional study was designed to obtain the data from medical records of all relevant patients who underwent transient elastography between January 2011 and December 2020 at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand. A liver stiffness cutoff value of 7.0 kilopascal was used to define the presence of significant liver fibrosis. To examine potential predictors, medical history and clinical data commonly assessed in routine practice were selected by following expert opinions and univariable statistical analysis. Backward and forward stepwise logistic regression was performed to acquire a final prediction model. To simplify the model, a weighted score was assigned for each categorized predictor. In addition, eligible cutoff values of the score and their predictive performances were determined.A total of 745 medical records were reviewed. The prevalence of NAFLD with significant fibrosis in patients with metabolic syndrome was 12.6%. Most clinical characteristics of patients with NAFLD with significant fibrosis and those non-NAFLD and NAFLD with no/mild fibrosis were quite disparate. The most practical model comprised globulin, aspartate transaminase, platelet count, and type 2 diabetes. It provided a good predictive performance with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.828 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.782, 0.874). At the proper cutoff value, sensitivity and specificity were 76.6% (95% CI: 66.7%, 84.7%) and 72.4% (95% CI: 68.7%, 75.8%), respectively. The likelihood ratio of testing positive for NAFLD with significant fibrosis was 2.8 (95% CI: 2.34, 3.27) among patients with scores above the cutoff value.The first score for detecting of NAFLD with significant fibrosis in patients with metabolic syndrome was developed. This practical score, providing a good predictive performance, should be useful to help clinicians prioritize needs for further investigations among high-risk patients, especially in resource-limited settings. 相似文献
