Background: Severe outcomes of COVID-19 account for up to 15% of all cases. The study aims to check if any gene variants related to cardiovascular (CVD) and pulmonary diseases (PD) are correlated with a severe outcome of COVID-19 in a Polish cohort of COVID-19 patients. Methods: In this study, a subset of 747 samples from unrelated individuals collected across Poland in 2020 and 2021 was used and whole-genome sequencing was performed. Results: The GWAS analysis of SNPs and short indels located in genes related to CVD identified one variant significant in COVID-19 severe outcome in the HADHA gene, while for the PD gene panel, we found two significant variants in the DRC1 gene. In this study, both potentially protective and risk variants were identified, of which variants in the HADHA gene deserve the most attention. Conclusions: This is the first study reporting the association between the HADHA and DRC1 genetic variants and COVID-19 severe outcome based on the cohort WGS analysis. Although all the identified variants are localised in introns, they may be correlated and therefore inherited along with other risk variants, potentially causative to severe outcome of COVID-19 but not discovered yet. 相似文献

The catalytic activity of calcium hydroxyapatite (HAp) supported cobalt nanoparticles in ethanol steam reforming (SRE) was investigated. Co was supported on hydrothermally prepared HAp by incipient wetness impregnation method. Co/HAp catalysts were characterized through XRD, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy, TEM, SEM/EDS, N2 physisorption, TG and TPR-H2. Results showed that spinel cobalt oxide is reduced to CoO and Co and these species are responsible for catalytic activity for hydrogen production via SRE process. The main reactions over Co/HAp are incomplete steam reforming and dehydrogenation of ethanol. Reforming experiment over pre-reduced sample indicated a negative impact of H2 treatment on hydrogen production. The best catalytic properties ( and CEtOH) were obtained over 5%Co/HAp catalyst. 相似文献

Melatonin (N-Acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a hormone secreted mainly by the pineal gland or epiphyse and in smaller amounts by the retina. It is biosynthesized from tryptophan, the critical enzymatic step depends upon N-Acetyl-transferase (NAT). The circadian rhythm of melatonin is the same in man and all the laboratory animals studied until now with nocturnal plasma concentrations 3-10 times greater than during daytime. The secretion and release of melatonin depend upon a large number of exogenous and endogenous factors as e.g. sex, age, pubertal stage, menstrual cycle, drugs, season.... Light is the major regulating factor which acts through the retino-hypothalamic tract. Melatonin is considered as a transducer of the light signal forwarding to the organism the information about day length (relative length of day and night). It is a time-clue provider used by the organism to adapt itself to its environment. 相似文献

The role of metal ions introduced to polymer matrix in the photochemical degradation of material is not fully understood. In this paper, we considered the effect of copper ions on the photochemical changes in Methafilcon A after UV-irradiation. The presence of methacrylic acid in the structure of Methafilcon A increases the loading capacity of these ions. In result, there is observed the production much more radicals after UV-irradiation than in pure matrix, without copper ions. When the time of UV-exposure increases, the EPR signal of trapped Cu(II) ions in the material decreases. This proves the transformation of Cu(II) to a diamagnetic state of stable Cu(I)-intermediates or copper oxides. Simultaneously, in the first 5-min of UV-irradiation there is observed a rapid increase in intensity of the radical signal, which disappears when the exposure time is extended. This mechanism of radical generating is quite different than for Methafilcon A matrix without copper ions. 相似文献

To date, chronic inflammation is involved in most main human pathologies such as cancer, and autoimmune, cardiovascular or neurodegenerative disorders. Studies suggest that different prostanoids, especially prostaglandin E2, and their own synthase (cyclooxygenase enzyme-COX) can promote tumor growth by activating signaling pathways which control cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used, alongside corticosteroids, to treat inflammatory symptoms particularly in all chronic diseases. However, their toxicity from COX inhibition and the suppression of physiologically important prostaglandins limits their use. Therefore, in continuation of our efforts in the development of potent, safe, non-toxic chemopreventive compounds, we report herein the design, synthesis, biological evaluation of new series of Schiff base-type hybrid compounds containing differently substituted N-acyl hydrazone moieties, 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring, and 4,6-dimethylpyridine core. The anti-COX-1/COX-2, antioxidant and anticancer activities were studied. Schiff base 13, containing 2-bromobenzylidene residue inhibited the activity of both isoenzymes, COX-1 and COX-2 at a lower concentration than standard drugs, and its COX-2/COX-1 selectivity ratio was similar to meloxicam. Furthermore, the results of cytotoxicity assay indicated that all of the tested compounds exhibited potent anti-cancer activity against A549, MCF-7, LoVo, and LoVo/Dx cell lines, compared with piroxicam and meloxicam. Moreover, our experimental study was supported by density functional theory (DFT) and molecular docking to describe the binding mode of new structures to cyclooxygenase. 相似文献

The influence of silver additives on titania photoactivity in the photooxidation of phenol 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Photodeposition of small amounts of metal silver on the surface of titanium(IV) oxide enhances its photoactivity in phenol decomposition. The applied method of in situ metal photoreduction resulted in preparing better Ag/TiO(2) systems than those already described in literature. Optimum silver loading on titania amounts to 0.5 wt%. The photoreaction, which finally leads to total phenol mineralization, proceeds via intermediate compounds. Hydroquinone, benzoquinone and catechol are the main intermediates determined quantitatively. Photooxidation of the compounds competes with the photooxidation of phenol. At higher phenol concentration, >6 x 10(-4)mol dm(-3), the rate of the photocatalytic reaction is strongly retarded. The photoreaction was conducted in a specially designed, three-phase fluidal photoreactor. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Because of methods required for obtaining isolated left ventricular myocytes, evaluation of the contractile function of isolated left ventricular myocytes in normal human patients has been limited. Accordingly, the goal of the present study was to develop a means to isolate human left ventricular myocytes from small myocardial biopsy specimens collected from patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass operations and to characterize indices of myocyte contractile performance. METHODS: Myocardial biopsy specimens were obtained from the anterior left ventricular free wall of 22 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass operations. Myocytes were isolated from these myocardial samples by means of a stepwise enzymatic digestion method and micro-trituration techniques. Isolated left ventricular myocyte contractile function was assessed by computer-assisted high-speed videomicroscopy under basal conditions and in response to beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation with isoproterenol. RESULTS: A total of 804 viable left ventricular myocytes were successfully examined from all of the myocardial biopsy specimens with an average of 37+/-4 myocytes per patient. All myocytes contracted homogeneously at a field stimulation of 1 Hz with an average percent shortening of 3.7%+/-0.1% and shortening velocity of 51.3+/-1.3 microm/s. After beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation with isoproterenol, percent shortening and shortening velocity increased 149% and 118% above baseline, respectively (P < .05). CONCLUSION: The unique results of the present study demonstrated that a high yield of myocytes could be obtained from human left ventricular biopsy specimens taken during cardiac operations. These myocytes exhibited stable contractile performance and maintained the capacity to respond to an inotropic stimulus. The methods described herein provide a basis by which future studies could investigate intrinsic and extrinsic influences on left ventricular myocyte contractility in human beings. 相似文献
