LncRNAs (long non-coding RNAs) are endogenous molecules and involved in complicated biological processes. Increasing evidence has shown that lncRNAs play a vital role in the post-stroke pathophysiology.Furthermore, several lncRNAs were reported to mediate ischemia cascade processes include apoptosis, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, angiogensis, neuroinfla- mmation, microglial cell which can cause neuron injury and influence neuron recovery after ischemic stroke. In our study, we first summarize current development about lncRNAs and post-stroke, focus on the regulatory roles of lncRNAs on pathophysiology after stroke.We also reviewed genetic variation in lncRNA associated with functional outcome after ischemic stroke. Additionally, lncRNA-based therapeutics offer promising strategies to decrease brain damage and promote neurological recovery following ischemic stroke.We are believed that lncRNAs will become promising and frontier strategies for IS and can open up a new path for the treatment of IS in the future.

OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the requirements for the formation of these aggregates. METHODS In this study, we performed an aggregation experiment using N-acetylated and C-amidated PrP fragments of the N-terminal domain, Octa1, Octa2, Octa3, Octa4, PrP84-114, and PrP76-114, in the presence of NADPH with copper ions, and focused on the effect of the number of copper-binding sites on aggregation. RESULTS Among these PrP fragments, Octa4, containing four copper-binding sites, was particularly effective in forming aggregates. We also tested the effect of other pyridine nucleotides and adenine nucleotides on the aggregation of Octa4. ATP was equally effective, but NADH, NADP, ADP, and AMP had no effect. CONCLUSION The phosphate group on the adenine-linked ribose moiety of adenine nucleotides and pyridine nucleotides is presumed to be essential for the observed effect on aggregation. Efficient aggregation requires the presence of the four octarepeats. These insights may be helpful in the eventual development of therapeutic agents against prion-related disorders.

It catalyses the cis-trans isomerisation of peptide bonds, an essential step for newly synthesized protein to acquire its correct functional conformation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. OBJECTIVE The present study showed the biochemical and molecular characterisation of cyclophilins (PpiB), a type of peptidyl-prolyl isomerases proteins from the pathogenic bacteria Salmonella Typhimurium. METHODS Salmonella Typhimurium is one of the leading serovars responsible for human and animal salmonellosis globally, with the majority of human cases originating through the food chain. Here successful expression and purification of PpiB protein have been demonstrated and LC-MS based analyses showed high protein score and similarity with other PPi protein. Further the enzymatic activity of the purified recombinant PpiB was determined using Succinyl-Ala-Phe-Pro-Phe-p nitroanilide as substrate and enzyme-catalysed reaction. RESULT Km and Vmax were calculated and found to be Vm = 1.023 ± .06400 min/µg, Km = 0.6219 ± 0.1701 µM, respectively.We have reported for the first time the presence of Salmonella PPIase-B (PpiB) protein isoforms in salmonella genome having PPi activity. CONCLUSION Taken together, our data clearly showed that Salmonella Cyclophilin B (PpiB) protein is active and involved in diverse biological processes and highly similar to the different domain of Cyclophilin proteins.

Sera from healthy human subjects were also included in the study to determine the variation incurred in the reactivity due to the filariasis infection. Gel-electrophoresis analysis of the crude-extract of BmA revealed seven protein bands while more than ten bands in S. cervi. RESULTS This represents the clear variation in protein patterns among the crude-antigens. ELISA results showed highest prevalence of IgG, IgM and IgG4 antibodies against all antigen preparations when recorded among microfilaraemic chronic infected patients. In both the antigenic preparations, the positive reactions were in the order of microfilaraemic>endemic normal>chronic>acute>non-endemic normal subjects. All sera of Mf+ patients were uniformly positive, while sera of both chronic and endemic normal subjects showed less reactivity. CONCLUSION In the present study, we endeavoured to establish the extent of cross-reactivity of antigens derived from animal filarial parasites such as B. malayi and S. cervi with W. bancrofti filariasis sera of human patients. Besides, we further analyzed antibody-isotype profile of IgG, IgG4 and IgM in various human infection sera of bancroftian filarial subjects reactive to heterologous parasite antigens derived from adult worms of S. cervi from bovine and B. malayi.

Krebsbetroffene Menschen erleiden Auswirkungen sowohl durch die Krebserkrankung wie auch durch die operativen, radioonkologischen und medikamentösen Krebstherapien. Diese Auswirkungen können zu körperlichen, emotionalen, sozialen, intellektuellen oder existentiellen Funktionsdefiziten führen. Indikationen für Onkologische Rehabilitation bestehen in Situationen vor, während, zwischen und nach Krebstherapien in kurativer und nicht-kurativer Intention. Onkologische Rehabilitation definiert konkrete Ziele, um möglichst die Funktionen vor dem Auftreten der Auswirkungen wieder zu erreichen, dies für eine optimale Selbstbestimmung und Unabhängigkeit. Dabei ist ein profundes Verständnis der onkologischen Situation notwendig um realistische Ziele zu vereinbaren. Basierend auf – und gesteuert durch – diese Ziele, setzt die Onkologische Rehabilitation spezifische Reha-Interventionen ein, getragen durch ein transprofessionell koordiniertes Team von Bewegungs-, Physio-, Ergo-, Logo-, Kunst- und Musiktherapeuten, Ernährungs-, Sozial- und Psychoonkologischer Beratung, sowie aktivierender, therapiebegleitender Pflege und Ärzten.
