Abstract

The etiology of Behçet's disease is unclear, but viral infection is thought to be one etiologic factor. The aims of this study were to detect herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA in the saliva of patients with Behçet's disease and of healthy persons, to determine whether the presence of HSV in saliva is associated with the presence of intraoral ulcer, and to investigate the relationship between HSV and Behçet's disease. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect HSV DNA sequences in DNA extracted from the saliva of patients with Behçet's disease and of healthy control subjects. Of 66 patients with Behçet's disease diagnosed clinically, 19 were diagnosed as complete type, 29 as incomplete type and 18 as suspected type. Of 66 DNA preparations from the saliva of the patients, 26 (39.4%) showed the 289-bp band. This contrasts with 12 of 87 preparations (13.8%) from healthy controls (P < 0.01). There were no significant differences among the three patient groups. All the 289-bp bands analyzed by restriction endonuclease digestion yielded the expected 158-bp and 131-bp fragments when digested with PstI.HSV DNA was detected in 12 of 33 Behçet's disease patients (36.4%) with oral ulceration and 14 of 33 patients (42.4%) without o...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
