P-glycoprotein expression is increased in the brain of BSE affected cattle

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays a major role as an efflux pump for endogenous and exogenous substrates at the blood-brain barrier and is localized in the brain at the apical side of capillary endothelial cells. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is marked primarily by the build-up of protease resistant misfolded prion protein (PrPres) in the brain. In the present study, the relationship between P-gp and BSE was investigated. An increase in the expression of vascular P-gp in the obex was found inclassical BSE, more prominent in the pre-clinical cases.

Risk assessment of inflammation in healthy asymptomatic first degree relatives of myocardial infarction patients

Myocardial Infarction (MI) is both polygenic and multifactorial disorder and it is known that immunological processes play key role in initial phases of leukocyte recruitment, to eventual rupture of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. It is now universally recognized that inflammation within the lesions contributes importantly to the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic plaque.

Bacillus sp. BVB01AS Electrogenin the two chamber microbial fuel cell

The various parameters were studied for the MFC inoculated with nano-wire forming electrogen Bacillus sp. BVB01to check their effect on the bioelectricity generation. It was observed that mineral media M6 produced highest bioelectricity of 1461.18mW/m2 (470.5mV, 0.005mA and 3.1mA/m2) on the 6th day of the MFC operation at highest external resistance of 100K. Also, it was recorded that on the optimization of various factors, a significant bioelectricity generation of 373739.13mW/m2 (245.6mV, 2.45mA and 1521.73mA/m2) was observed from the electrogen Bacillus sp.
