Modelling the effect of tuberculosis on the spread of HIV infection in a population with density-dependent birth and death rate

A nonlinear mathematical model is proposed to study the effect of tuberculosis on the spread of HIV infection in a logistically growing human population. The host population is divided into four sub classes of susceptibles, TB infectives, HIV infectives (with or without TB) and that of AIDS patients. The model exhibits four equilibria namely, a disease free, HIV free, TB free and an endemic equilibrium. The model has been studied qualitatively using stability theory of nonlinear differential equations and computer simulation. We have found a threshold parameter R₀ which is if less than one, the disease free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable otherwise for R₀>1, at least one of the infections will be present in the population. It is shown that the positive endemic equilibrium is always locally stable but it may become globally stable under certain conditions showing that the disease becomes endemic. It is found that as the number of TB infectives decreases due to recovery, the number of HIV infectives also decreases and endemic equilibrium tends to TB free equilibrium. It is also observed that number of AIDS individuals decreases if TB is not associated with HIV infection. A numerical study of the model is also performed to investigate the influence of certain key parameters on the spread of the disease.

Diagnostic techniques for photonic materials based on Raman and Brillouin spectroscopies

The elastic and vibrational properties of a material,bulk or planar waveguide,are studied by Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy to follow the process of nanocrystals growth in glass-ceramics. The nanoparticles cause the appearance,in the low fre-quency Raman spectrum,of characteristic peaks,whose position depends on the size of the crystals. At the same time,sharp crystal peaks,due to optical phonons,appear in the Raman spectra,allowing the determination of the nucleated phase,and a frequency shift of the Brillouin peaks is observed.     

Potential Efficacy of β-Amyrin Targeting Mycobacterial Universal Stress Protein by In Vitro and In Silico Approach

The emergence of drug resistance and the limited number of approved antitubercular drugs prompted identification and development of new antitubercular compounds to cure Tuberculosis (TB). In this work, an attempt was made to identify potential natural compounds that target mycobacterial proteins. Three plant extracts (A. aspera, C. gigantea and C. procera) were investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction of the aerial part of A. aspera and the flower ash of C. gigantea were found to be effective against M. tuberculosis H₃₇Rv. Furthermore, the GC-MS analysis of the plant fractions confirmed the presence of active compounds in the extracts. The Mycobacterium target proteins, i.e., available PDB dataset proteins and proteins classified in virulence, detoxification, and adaptation, were investigated. A total of ten target proteins were shortlisted for further study, identified as follows: BpoC, RipA, MazF4, RipD, TB15.3, VapC15, VapC20, VapC21, TB31.7, and MazF9. Molecular docking studies showed that β-amyrin interacted with most of these proteins and its highest binding affinity was observed with Mycobacterium Rv1636 (TB15.3) protein. The stability of the protein-ligand complex was assessed by molecular dynamic simulation, which confirmed that β-amyrin most firmly interacted with Rv1636 protein. Rv1636 is a universal stress protein, which regulates Mycobacterium growth in different stress conditions and, thus, targeting Rv1636 makes M. tuberculosis vulnerable to host-derived stress conditions.     

聚N-甲基-N-(2-甲基丙烯酰氧乙基)-对-甲苯胺的荧光光谱及光诱导接枝丙烯腈共聚合

文献[1]报道N-甲基-N-(2-甲基丙烯酰氧乙基)苯胺(MEMA)单体,由于同一分子中含有缺电子碳碳双键和给电子发色基团(芳叔胺氮上孤对电子),因此当链节克分子浓度相等时,单体的荧光强度要比其均聚物的荧光强度低得多,归之为单体“结构自猝灭”所致。这是由于共存在单体分子中的吸电子双键基团和给电子的荧光基团在光照下于分子内或分子间产生激基复合物所致。这种现象称为“结构自猝灭现象”。聚合物无双键存在,因而其荧光强度比单体高得多。     

Development of a tetramethylrhodamine-labeled probe for a capillary electrophoresis-based competitive immunoassay of staphylococcal enterotoxin B

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) was labeled with tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) and used as a probe for a competitive immunoassay. Labeling conditions such as solution pH and time were varied to observe the effect on the fluorescent product. It was found that solution pH of the labeling reaction had little effect on the fluorescence signal of the resulting products. However, labeling at pH 7.0 produced a probe that had a higher affinity for the antibody used in this study than the probes produced at pH 8.0 and 9.0. The fluorescent probes were used to perform a competitive assay for SEB in model skim milk samples. Detection limit was approximately 300 fg of SEB. Quantitation was achieved by curve fitting of fluorescent signals for bound/free probe versus log[SEB] with logarithmic functions. Accuracy in the model skim milk samples was acceptable for 3 and 5 nM SEB, but decreased considerably for a concentration of less than 1 nM SEB. The error was attributed to deviation in linearity in the standard curve at lower concentrations. Reproducibility for the analysis of both standard solutions used for the calibration curves and the model skim milk samples was excellent, with standard deviations of approximately 10% from data collected over a 3-week period. No cross-reactivity was found when the assay was tested with a 700 nM sample of staphylococcal enterotoxin A. Although competitive immunoassays are usually used for small molecules, such as therapeutic drugs, the results demonstrate that relatively large molecules (SEB, 27 kDa) can also be assayed with the technique.     

Modeling micro-particle deposition in human upper respiratory tract under steady inhalation

A representative human upper respiratory tract (URT) with idealized oral region and asymmetric tracheo-bronchial (TB) airway has been modeled, and laminar-to-turbulent airflow for typical inhalation modes as well as micro-particle transport and deposition has been simulated using CFX10.0 software from Ansys Inc. on a personal computer. The asymmetric TB airway could not be replaced by an extended straight tube as outlet of the oral region while investigating the tracheal airflow field and particle depositio...
