[Abstract]  

Antibacterial coatings have currently gained great importance in biomedical technology investigations. Because of the spatial arrangement of the film coatings, evaluation of antibacterial activity presents a new challenge regarding traditional bacterial counting methods. In this protocol, four clinically relevant pathogens, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus were incubated on titania mesostructured thin film coatings for 24 h. Then, cell viability was studied considering three methods: counting of the number of colony forming units (CFU), live/dead staining, and quantification of extracellular DNA in suspension. Firstly, bacterial count was determined by the standard plate-count technique. Secondly, bacteria membrane integrity was

[摘要]  [摘要]抗菌涂料目前在生物医学技术研究中具有重要意义。由于薄膜包衣的空间排列,抗菌活性的评估对传统的细菌计数方法提出了新的挑战。在此协议中,将四种临床相关病原体,鼠伤寒沙门氏菌,大肠杆菌,铜绿假单胞菌和金黄色葡萄球菌在二氧化钛介孔薄膜涂层上孵育24小时。然后,考虑三种方法研究细胞生存力:计数菌落形成单位(CFU)的数量,活/死染色以及悬浮液中细胞外DNA的定量。首先,通过标准的盘数技术确定细菌数。其次,通过利用两种荧光染料评估细菌膜的完​​整性,这两种荧光染料可以区分活细菌(完整的膜)和死细菌(破膜的)。最后,通过分光光度法定量细胞外DNA 。以这种方式,上述三种技术使得能够通过定性和定量分析研究细菌的生存力。

[背景]功能性涂料,由于他们提供的材料工程领域的宝贵优势被广泛研究。它们能够引入新的表面特性,而不会改变材料的体积特性。在它们的功能中,抗菌涂层对于生物医学应用已显示出极大的重要性(Mateescu等人,2015)。从这个意义上讲,纳米技术提供了制造抗菌涂层的重要工具。我们的小组已经实现了具有广谱杀菌活性的纳米结构涂层的合成,而没有利用抗生素或排斥细菌的物质(Scilletta et al。,2019)。在这里,只有个êSUP ...

Estimation of the Minimum Number of Replication Origins Per Chromosome in any Organism

[Abstract]  Eukaryote nuclear genomes predominantly replicate through multiple replication origins. The number of replication origins activated per chromosome during the S-phase duration may vary according to many factors, but the predominant one is replication stress. Several studies have applied different approaches to estimate the number and map the positions of the replication origins in various organisms. However, without a parameter to restrict the minimum of necessary origins, less sensitive techniques may suggest conflicting results. The estimation of the minimum number of replication origins (MO) per chromosome is an innovative method that allows the establishment of a threshold, which serves as a parameter for genomic approaches that map origins. For this, the MO can be easily ... [摘要]  [摘要] 比率可能因多种因素而变化,但最主要的因素是复制应力。一些研究应用了不同的方法来估计复制源在不同生物体中的数量和位置。然而,如果没有一个参数来限制必要起源的最小值,那么不太敏感的技术可能会产生相互矛盾的结果。估计每个染色体的最小复制源数量(MO)是一种创新的方法,它允许建立一个阈值,作为绘制起源的基因组方法的参数。为此,MO可以很容易地通过一个公式得到,这个公式需要作为参数:染色体大小、S期持续时间和复制率。在基因组数据库(如NCBI)中可以获得任何生物体的染色体大小,通过监测DNA复制来估计S期的持续时间,并通过DNA组合方法获得复制率。 提供了一种简单、快速的估算MO的方法一个新的方法学框架来协助研究任何有机体。

[Abstract]  Coronary artery disease remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Previous work, including ours, has focused on the role of intraplaque hemorrhage, particularly from immature microvessel angiogenesis, as an important contributor to plaque progression via increases in vascular permeability leading to further intraplaque hemorrhage, which increases red cell membrane-derived free cholesterol in plaque content and inflammatory cell recruitment. Evans Blue Dye (EBD) assay is widely used as a standard assay for vasculature permeability. However, the method has not been established in fresh human coronary artery autopsy samples to evaluate intraplaque microvessel permeability and angiogenesis. In this protocol, we describe a method to evaluate human coronary samples for ... [摘要]  冠状动脉疾病仍然是发病率和死亡率的重要原因。以前的研究,包括我们的研究,都集中在斑块内出血的作用,特别是来自未成熟的微血管血管生成,作为斑块进展的重要因素,通过增加血管通透性导致进一步的斑块内出血,增加斑块中红细胞膜来源的游离胆固醇内容和炎症细胞募集。 Evans Blue Dye(EBD)测定法广泛用作脉管系统渗透性的标准测定法。然而,该方法尚未在新鲜人冠状动脉尸检样本中建立,以评估斑块内微血管通透性和血管生成。在该方案中,我们描述了评估人类冠状动脉样本的微血管通透性的方法,包括灌注冠状动脉的程序,用于组织学分析和免疫染色的动脉样本的收集以及使用适当的方法来分析图像。还提供了在小鼠模型中使用FITC-葡聚糖以评估血管通透性的任选程序。这些Evans Blue Dye程序可用于在各种病理条件下提供人样品和动物模型中内皮完整性和渗透性的功能测量。
