In vitro transcription and transfection of HCV genomic repliconBinodGupta27
ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive stranded RNA virus that causes acute and chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Aims & Objectives: The study was conducted to establish the transfection of Huh 7.5 derived cell lines with In-vitro transcript of HCV pF6/JFH-1 for production of infectious virus particles in naïve Huh 7.5 cells, its detection by RT-PCR. Materials and Method: Huh 7.5 cells, a highly permissive cell lines for HCV replication, were grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium and pFL-J6/JFH plasmid was linearized with XbaI and subjected to in-vitro transcription using MEGAscript Kit (Ambion, USA) Huh-7.5 cells were transfected with 2.5 μg transcript using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent (Invitrogen, USA) . The culture supernatant was collected after 24, 48 and 72 hr after incubation in fresh media and viral RNAs were isolated from it using Trizol LS reagent (Ambion, USA) and quantified by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Total RNA was extracted from cells using Trizol reagent (Ambion, USA) and then RNA was subjected to cDNA synthesis using RevertAid reverse transcription (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The PCR products were resolved by electrophoresis in 1.5% (w/v) agarose gels and images were captured by a Chemidoc XRS system (Bio-Rad, USA). Results: We observed Huh7.5 cells were cultured in DMEM. Plasmid FL-J6/JFH1 was linearized with the restriction enzyme XbaI and HCV RNA was obtained by In-vitro transcription and was transfected to grown Huh 7.5 cells shown by band on agarose gel and total RNA isolated after 24 hours of post infection followed by RT-PCR gave distinct band on gel whereas 48 and 72 hr did not. Infection of Huh 7.5 cells with cell culture supernatant from cells transfected with HCV in vitro transcript gave a distinct band. This will help in understanding entire viral life cycle and its non-structural gene products like NS4B and NS5A that enhance the replicative capacity of replicons in Huh 7.5 cell lines for development of drug and vaccines.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
