RESUMEN

Current research efforts on neurodegenerative diseases are focused on identifying novel and reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis and insight into disease progression. Salivary analysis is gaining increasing interest as a promising source of biomarkers and matrices for measuring neurodegenerative diseases. Saliva collection offers multiple advantages over the currently detected biofluids as it is easily accessible, non-invasive, and repeatable, allowing early diagnosis and timely treatment of the diseases. Here, we review the existing findings on salivary biomarkers and address the potential value in diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Based on the available research, ß-amyloid, tau protein, α-synuclein, DJ-1, Huntington protein in saliva profiles display reliability and validity as the biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases.

RESUMEN

Natural macromolecules have attracted increasing attention due to their biocompatibility, low toxicity, and biodegradability. Pectin is one of the few polysaccharides with biomedical activity, consequently a candidate in biomedical and drug delivery Applications. Rhamnogalacturonan-II, a smaller component in pectin, plays a major role in biomedical activities. The ubiquitous presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in pectin contribute to their hydrophilicity and, hence, to the favorable biocompatibility, low toxicity, and biodegradability. However, pure pectin-based materials present undesirable swelling and corrosion properties. The hydrophilic groups, via coordination, electrophilic addition, esterification, transesterification reactions, can contribute to pectin's physicochemical properties. Here the properties, extraction, and modification of pectin, which are fundamental to biomedical and drug delivery applications, are reviewed. Moreover, the synthesis, properties, and performance of pectin-based hybrid materials, composite materials, and emulsions are elaborated. The comprehensive review presented here can provide valuable information on pectin and its biomedical and drug delivery applications.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To understand the distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes in China. METHODS: A national multi-center, large sample epidemiological survey was carried out and certified by an international third-party testing organization. Internationally accepted method for sequencing analysis of viral genotype was used. RESULTS: Patients were those suffered from the 4 major genotypes of chronic hepatitis C, including nine subtypes, which were dominated by genotype 1 (69.6%), with type 1b in particular (accounting for 68.38%). Among the rare gene-6, we saw more subtypes of 6a. In the south, central, and north areas, there was no significant difference seen between the south and the north areas in the distribution of the genotype 1. However, the rate of gene type 2a increased gradually from south to north. In terms of less common type of gene 3b and gene-6, they were seen mainly in the southern provinces. CONCLUSION: In China, Patients with chronic hepatitis C had 4 HCV genotypes, with 9 subtypes. The rarely seen genotypes 3b and 6 were mainly distributed in the southern provinces.
