Semi-quantitative Event Specific Detection of Bt Maize (Event MON 810) using Real-Time PCR with SYBR Green Ι Chemistry
Abstract: The objective is this work is to do semi-quantitative analysis for Bt maize (event MON 810) using conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Real Time PCR (SYBR green chemistry) from the fresh maize samples chosen arbitrarily from various locations. The protocol for extraction of good quality genomic Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was standardized without the use of Liquid nitrogen. The DNA used for further studies were obtained by using standardized protocol. …

Vitamin D Mitigates Inflammation and Downregulates Importin α3 in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Abstract: Background: Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, seem to play a crucial role in the progression of NAFLD as they activate the transcription factor NF-кB. The activated NF-кBp50/RelA subunits are translocated to the nucleus by Importin α3 and Importin α4. Numerous studies have indicated a negative association between NAFLD and vitamin D levels. Low vitamin D levels have been correlated with histological severity, necro-inflammation, and fibrosis in …

Tuberculosis Epidemiology and its Diagnostic Modality
Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health emergency, with India being the epicenter, recording 2.23 million cases and approximately 4.53 lakhs deaths in 2021. Despite efforts by the National Tuberculosis Eradication Program (NTEP), the anticipated decrease in the incidence and prevalence of TB has not been actualized. This paper examines the persistently high rates of TB in India, identifying critical risk factors such as male gender, marital status, overcrowding, socioeconomic disadvantages, …
