Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disease characterized by different pathological outcomes as a consequence of unsettled hyperglycemia, often accompanied with various complications such as chronic ulcers, represents a major socio-economic health problem. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV or CD26 molecule (DPP IV/CD26), is an omnipresent transmembrane protein with significant involvements in different physiological and pathological processes. It has been recognized as a therapeutic option in the treatment of hyperglycemia, especially in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes, given its capability to regulate the biological activity of incretins, which are major regulators of glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, DPP IV/CD26 has been indicated to be involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes as well as cell proliferation and angiogenesi.....

We here researched the features of transport of nerve impulse along the nerve fiber using modern theory of molecular biology, in which we first elucidate the properties of structure of the nerve cell and the features of distribution of the charges for the sodium ions and potassium ions in the inner and exterior of the never cell membranes. In practice, their distributions are not uniformity, where the distribution of sodium ions and potassium ions between the inner and exterior of cell-membranes are not same, they are just inverse. Just so, an action electro-potential occurs in the cell-membranes. However, the action electro-potential is only a static impulse, it cannot propagate along the nerve organizations. If the nerve organizations are acted by the bio-energy, which could lead to the periodic variation of these sodium ions and potass.....

We will review the kinetics, applications and efficacy of light-activated crosslink. The crosslink efficacy is influenced by multiple factors including: the applied light intensity, exposure period and dose, the initial concentration profiles of photosensitizers (PS) and oxygen, the quantum yield of the PS triplet state, the kinetic rate constants of PS (in type-I) and oxygen concentration (in type- II). Lower light intensity (I 0 ) and higher PS concentration (C 0 ) provides higher efficacy, but also suffers more toxicity to the cells. Higher light intensity (I 0 ) may accelerate the crosslink but has lower efficacy (for the same dose). Therefore, optimal ratio of C 0 / I 0 is required for accelerated and safe crosslink. Safety issue also limits the maximum dose can be applied to the collagen, besides the limitation .....

Prolyl oligopeptidase is an important enzyme known to be involved in many human diseases including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease and dementia. Microbial world is rich with many diversified enzymes which can be studied as analogous to eukaryotic counter parts. Genome survey of Pyrobaculum calidifontis revealed that three prolyl oligopeptidase with ORFs P_cal 0773; P_cal 1307 and P_cal 1997 are present in this microbe while none of these have been studied. In this study, molecular modeling and in silico characterization of the enzyme prolyl oligopeptidase (P_cal 0773) is performed. The tertiary structure of the enzyme has conserved residues Ser431, Asp513 and His 545 at active site. The structure was observed to have two domains which were α/β hydrolase fold and β-propeller. Where β-propeller domain, most specific fea.....

The snail Lymnaea acuminata is the intermediate host of liver fluke Fasciola gigantica which causes endemic fasciolosis in cattle as well as human population of Eastern Utter Pradesh. Snail control with plant mollucicides has been one of the effective methods used for rapid and effective control of Fasciolosis. Toxicity of active molluscicidal component present in them are more potent than there synthetic counterpart. The metabolic activity of invertebrates is influenced to a large extent by change in both biotic and abiotic factors, which mainly depends on the season. These abiotic factors and bait containing plant molluscicides can significantly alter the biochemical parameters and ultimately the reproduction rate and developmental process of snail Lymnaea acuminata seasonally......

Adults with neurological injury (e.g. stroke, spinal cord injury) report that recovery of walking is a primary goal [1]. While many recover at least the ability to perform short distance, household level walking, community level ambulation at even moderate walking speeds is beyond the ability of most of these individual [2]. While the brain is involved in several aspects of gait initiation, termination, responding to environmental perturbations much of walking is controlled and monitored in the spinal cord, specifically in the central pattern generators (CPG). This was demonstrated nearly one half century ago, where early studies of spinal cord injured quadrupeds demonstrated reciprocal locomotion patterns in the absence of direct signals from the brain......

Atherosclerotic plaques are highly heterogeneous, nonlinear materials with uncharacteristic structural behaviors. It is well known that mechanics of atherosclerotic plaques significantly depend on plaque geometry, location, composition, and loading conditions. Computational studies have shown great potential to characterize this mechanical behavior. Different types of plaque morphologies and mechanical properties have been used in a computational platform to estimate the stability of rupture-prone plaques and detect their locations. In this study, we hypothesize that heart rate (HR) is also one of the major factors that should be taken into account while mechanics of plaques is studied. We propose a tunable viscoelastic constitutive material model for the fibrous cap tissue in order to calculate .....

Electronic transmission of data is on the rise, due to the Affordable Care Act and provisions to make healthcare information more accessible, complete, and transparent. The Personal Health Record (PHR) application is a tool used to provide assistance to the goal of patient-centered and patient-centric care. Its purpose is to encourage consumers to become more participatory and informed in their healthcare treatment and healthcare needs. Since its inception, it has been questionable as to whether consumers and providers are seeing any improvements in the services provided or the care rendered. Since, the development and implementation of PHR applications, there has been some resistance from consumers for concerns of privacy and security of their information. This paper will discuss the uses of the PHR among consumers and providers and whet.....

Research explores how not including or having available patient information from behavioral health providers in electronic health records can reduce the effectiveness or quality of patient care. Individuals with behavioral health issues frequently have additional disorders that can occur and require increased utilization of health services. Other factors such as substance abuse problems, medication noncompliance, and low insight into behavioural health disorders by acute health care providers can create increased violence risk in that community. The violent crime rates of three Tennessee cities (USA) were also examined to determine correlation between behavioral health diagnoses and violent crimes. EHR adoption rates and patient outcomes were also reviewed to determine if better care could occur if behavioral health information about the .....
