RESUMEN
Hepatitis B virus (HBV), a vaccine-avoidable infection, is a health concern worldwide, leading to liver disorders such as acute self-constraint and chronic hepatitis, liver failure, hepatic cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma if untreated. 'Immunogeneticprofiling', genetic variations of the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines responsible for regulating the immune responses, cause person-to-person differences and impact the clinical manifestation of the disease. The current experimental-bioinformatics research was conducted to examine whether promoteric IL-18-rs187238 C > G and -rs1946518 T > G and intronic CD14-rs2569190 A > G variations are associated with chronic HBV. A total of 400 individuals (200 in each case and control group) participated in the study and were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. The data was also assessed bioinformatics-wise for conservation, genomic transcription and splicing, and protein interactions. Findings proposed that unlike the IL-18-rs1946518 T > G and CD14-rs2569190 A > G, the IL-18-rs187238 C > G is a protector against chronic HBV (odds ratio [OR] = 0.62, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.46-0.83, and p = 0.002). The TG/CC/AA, TG/CC/AG, TT/CC/AG, and GG/CC/AA combined genotypes significantly increased chronic HBV risk (p < 0.05), while the IL-18 G/T and G/G haplotypes lessened it (p < 0.05). Moreover, IL-18-rs1946518 T > G is in the protected genomic regions across mammalian species. In contrast to the IL-18-rs1946518 T > G, IL-18-rs187238 C > G is likely to create novel binding sites for transcription factors, and the CD14-rs2569190 A > G presumably changed the ribonucleic acid splicing pattern. More research on larger populations and other ethnicities is required to authenticate these results.
RESUMEN
In the title compound, [Ni(C(19)H(18)Cl(2)N(2)O(2))], the Ni(II) atom shows a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the coordination rings is 9.15â (12)° while the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two aromatic rings is 3.48â (16)°. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds link neighboring mol-ecules into a chain along the a axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.883â (2)â Å].
RESUMEN
In the title compound, C(21)H(26)N(2)O(4), the dihedral angle between the substituted benzene rings is 30.47â (15) °. Two strong intra-molecular O-Hâ¯N hydrogen bonds generate two S(6) ring motifs.
