Knowledge, Attitude & Practices of Hepatitis B Infection and Serum Antibody Analysis among Hepatitis B Vaccinated Healthcare Workers in Tertiary Care Hospital in North India
Abstract: Introduction: Health care workers are particularly at high risk of acquiring Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and other infections through needle stick injuries (NSI). HBV transmission can be contained through vaccination among health care workers (HCWs). However, 10-15% individuals have poor response. This study was therefore done to assess knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) and to evaluate the anti-HBs antibody titres in HBV vaccinated HCWs in tertiary care hospital. Material and …

Pathogenesis and Treatment of Tuberculosis (T.B) Disease
Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious illness spread through the air that is caused by organisms from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. M. tuberculosis is a lung infection in primary stage, but it can infect any area of the body. M. tuberculosis infection can progress from latent TB infection, in which the bacteria are isolated within granulomas, to infectious infection, in which the patient develops symptoms such as cough, fever, night sweats, …

An Overview of ELISA Biochemistry: A Brief Evaluation
Abstract: ELISA, known as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, is widely recognized as the most reliable immunoassay method. This technique is highly sensitive and serves the purpose of identifying and measuring various substances such as hormones, antibodies, antigens, glycoproteins, allergens, and proteins. The process involves the formation of antibody–antigen complexes that generate a detectable response, enabling quantification. In response to encountering foreign substances called "antigens," the immune system of an individual produces …

Drug Eluting Stents Alter the Inflammatory Biomarkers after One Week of Stent Implantation in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease: Gender-Based Study
Abstract: Angioplasty is a successful antianginal therapy. Drugs coated on the surface of drug eluting stents (DESs) are potent antimitotic agents that strongly inhibit smooth muscle proliferation and inflammatory process. This study aimed to prove that DES are released into the circulation and induced anti-inflammatory effect which is gender based beyond the local effect on the coronary artery via determination of the circulating levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high sensitivity C-reactive …

Lithium Induces Lower Specific Activity and Expression of Acetylcholinesterase in Old Aged Rats Brain and Liver for the Regulation of Acetyl Choline Cellular Signaling
Abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) acts on acetylcholine (ACh) to terminate its actions on the synaptic cleft by cleaving Ach to choline and acetate. This directly correlates with memory dysfunction and loss of cognitive functions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients which was a continuous decline of the cholinergic neurotransmission in cortical and other regions of human brain. Specific activity and expression for AChEwere determined in LiCl2 treated young and old male wistar rat's …

Effect of Chronic Inescapable Footshock and Antidepressant Treatment on BDNF/TrkB Levels in Rat Hippocampus
Abstract: Depression is a major health problem globally. Chronic stress arising out of life style or social factors may trigger depression, the molecular basis of which has been attributed to alterations of brain chemicals like neurotrophins. Among these neurotrophins, brain-derived neurotrophic factor regulates many physiological functions in the brain, alteration of which has been well associated with the pathogenesis of depression. Stress-induced helplessness in rodents constitutes a well-defined model to investigate …

Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) in Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is the most alarming problem of the current time. Nitric oxide, a free radical gas is synthesized by isoenzymes called nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide synthase consists of three isoforms; Nitric oxide produced is cytotoxic which is known to inhibit the DNA synthesis causing its damage. Keeping this in mind, nitric oxide synthase was determined in breast cancer and normal breast tissue. For this tissue from 60 breast …
