Advances in siRNA Drug Research
siRNA, with a molecular weight of about 13 kDa, recruits the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to mRNA through base pairing, thereby inhibiting protein translation. The mRNA is targeted for cleavage through the catalysis of the RISC protein Ago2, a member of the Argonaute family. In addition, other Ago proteins (Ago1, Ago3, and Ago4) catalyze endonuclease-mediated degradation of non-specific ...

Probing the Possibilities: Advancing Photocatalyst Applications in Disease Treatment
Photocatalyst is a general term for semiconductor materials with photocatalytic function represented by nano-scale titanium dioxide. The representative photocatalyst material is titanium dioxide, which can produce strong oxidizing substances under light irradiation, and can be used to decompose organic compounds, some inorganic compounds, bacteria and viruses. Photocatalyst Materials The commonly ...

Biorepository Safety
What is a Biorepository? A biorepository, or "biobank", is a specialized facility designed to store, archive, and distribute biological samples for research or clinical purposes. Biorepositories house biological samples, such as blood, plasma, urine, saliva, tissues, DNA, and organs, among other specimen types, collected from consenting individuals. Critical associated information, including ...

Bladder management practice for spinal cord injury patients
The spinal cord is to relay messages between the brain and the rest of the boy. When spinal cord injury happens the body may lose some essential functions if the nerves can’t communicate with the brain. Inadequate bladder management of spinal cord injury (SCI) results in medical complications, psychological stress and even mortality. Frequent leakage of urine causes soiling of clothes ...

Significance of Diagnostic Enzyme Detection
Serum enzyme tests have been used in clinical practice for a long time, such as increased amylase activity in serum and urine of patients with acute pancreatitis. In the 1930s, some scholars reported that the determination of serum lipase and alkaline phosphatase activities is helpful for the diagnosis of pancreatitis and bone diseases, respectively. After the 1950s, the application of serum ...

Difference Between Gas and Liquid Chromatography
What is gas chromatography and liquid chromatography? Gas chromatography is a chromatographic method that uses gas as a mobile phase. Sample flows through the gas system and is gasified before finally entering a chromatographic column filled with a filler to achieve effective separation. Gas chromatography has the advantages of high sensitivity, small sample usage, strong separation ability, good ...

The Relationship Between Enzyme Function and Health
In the early 20th century, humans discovered vitamins, and then trace elements and minerals. It was only in the mid-1980s that humans realized the importance of enzymes. Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine Arthur Kornberg said: "For our lives, we can no longer find other substances as important as enzymes in nature." Enzymes control the entire body, and when enzymes function abnormally is ...

The Functions and Roles of Enzymes
Catalysis Enzymes are a class of biological catalysts. They govern many catalytic processes such as metabolism, nutrition, and energy conversion of organisms. Most of the reactions closely related to life processes are enzyme-catalyzed reactions. These properties of the enzyme enable the intricate process of material metabolism in the cell to proceed in an orderly manner, and to adapt material ...

Value of BWT Measurement in Bladder Scanner
Being the first bladder scanner in the world which can measure BWT bladder wall thickness, M5 makes it possible that BWT can be monitored easily and quickly on daily basis. This feature fosters research on coorelation between BWT and different urological diseases. During the interview with Dr. Xu Kexin from Peking University People's Hospital whose team has been using M5 for about one year, we ...

Introduction to Lipogenesis, Lipid Anabolism and Catabolism
Sources of Fat Fat, also known as triglyceride, is made by condensing one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acids. The source of fatty acids in the body: one is the body's own synthesis, and the other is the food supply. Some unsaturated fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body and depend on food supply, called essential fatty acids. There are mainly two kinds, one is the ω-3 series ...

Organic Acids Analysis
The organism undergoes thousands of biochemical reactions every moment to maintain our growth, development and energy metabolism. Under normal circumstances, these biochemical reactions proceed smoothly step by step through various cycles or certain steps. The process by which the body changes carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats from nutrients to absorbable substances and wastes is called the ...

What is Urine Flow Rate Test?
What is urine flow rate test? You may be unfamiliar with the term urine flow rate or urinary flow rate, which is a common medical term in urology. Put it simply, the rate of urine flow measures how fast urine flows, how much it flows out, and how long it takes. It is expressed in ml/s. Urine flow rate test is done mainly when the following symptoms appear: bladder residual urine increase ...

Signs of Parkinson’s Disease to Watch For
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is most commonly known for affecting movement. It primarily impacts dopaminergic, or dopamine-producing, neurons in a specific area of the brain known as the substantia nigra. Typically, symptoms develop slowly over years and continue to worsen as the disease progresses. While the manifestation of symptoms tends to vary ...

Everything You Want to Know About Horseradish Peroxidase
Peroxidase, usually derived from horseradish, is a common enzyme used in clinical testing reagents. It is widely used not only in several biochemical assays but also in immunoassay (ELISA) kits. As a key component of the color development system of several kits, peroxidase has an important impact on the quality of the kits. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is the most commonly used enzyme because ...

What is difference between nappy and diaper?
Diaper's user groups are mainly divided into two categories: infants and adults. Diaper provides a more hygienic growing environment for babies because it reduces the spread and contamination of fecal bacteria more than conventional diapers. Diaper composition: outer wrapping layer, absorbent core layer, base fabric The outer wrapping layer keeps the child's body dry, absorbs urine quickly ...
