In silico identification of prospective p53-MDM2 inhibitors from ASINEX database using a comprehensive molecular modelling approach
2025
Cancer cells have a higher evolutionary potential than normal cells, which commonly leads to medication resistance and a decrease in the efficacy of existing cancer treatments. As a result, discovering new therapeutic drugs is an important priority in the field of oncology. The tumor suppressor protein p53, regulates many cellular activities but is frequently rendered inactive in malignancies due to aberrant overproduction of MDM2 and MDMX. As a result, the method of targeting MDM2 with small-molecule inhibitors to reactivate p53 signalling has gained popularity as a promising approach for anticancer drug development. In this study, we performed a comprehensive structure-based virtual screening of 261,120 compounds from the Asinex database, along with molecular docking, ADMET profiling, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using Schrödinger’s Maestro platform, to identify high-affinity MDM2 binders. electronic properties and stability characteristics have been assessed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) computations. The generated lead compounds had favourable pharmacokinetic features and high binding affinities for MDM2, making them suitable scaffolds for further therapeutic study. Overall, our findings lay the groundwork for experimental validation and drive the hunt for next-generation inhibitors of the p53-MDM2 pathway in cancer therapy.

Background: Plant cell walls are composed primarily of cellulose, making it the most common organic polymer on Earth. The utilization of microorganisms to convert cellulose into valuable products has gained significant attention worldwide. This study aims to isolate novel cellulase-producing microorganisms and investigate the influence of dietary and physicochemical factors on cellulase production, as well as evaluate the potential applications of a selected isolated strain. Materials and Methods: The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain was identified as the most efficient producer of cellulase among various cellulase-producing bacterial strains isolated during the research. The morphological and biochemical characteristics of this strain were characterized. To determine the optimal conditions for cellulase production, various parameters such as raw substrates, carbon sources, nitrogen sources, temperature, inoculum age, inoculum size, agitation rate, incubation duration, and pH were investigated. Results: The study found that sugarcane bagasse, molasses, and paper pulp exhibited the highest cellulase production capacity, with respective enzyme activities of 0.97, 0.98, and 0.88 IU/mL. Maximum cellulase production occurred at a temperature of 37°C, an inoculum size of 2.5%, an inoculum age of 24 hours, an agitation rate of 120 rpm, an incubation time of 48 hours, and a pH of 7 with 1% peptone. The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens isolate was successfully applied to convert lignocellulosic waste into ethanol and fermentable sugars through saccharification and fermentation of cellulose, demonstrating its significant effectiveness. Conclusion: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain isolated in this study proved to be a highly efficient producer of cellulase. The optimized production media led to improved enzyme production, and the isolate showed promising results in the industrial application of converting cellulosic waste into ethanol. The 16s rRNA sequencing confirmed the identity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens , which was deposited under the accession number MN081796 in the NCBI database. In this study we discussed the possible low-cost, enzymatic pretreatment methods of lignocellulosic material in order to use it as an efficient raw material for biofuel production. These findings contribute to the understanding and potential utilization of cellulose producing microorganisms in various biotechnological applications.

Leiomyomas, or uterine fibroids, are growths consisting of muscle and tissue that develop in or on the uterine wall. The most frequent benign uterine tumours in women of reproductive age are thought to be fibroids. Dysmenorrhea, spotting, hypermenorrhoea, abdominal pain, pressure on surrounding organs, and issues with micturition and defecation are among the symptoms that are often present. Fibroids can form as a single nodule or as a cluster. Uterine fibroids, especially large submucosal and intramural uterine fibroids, can cause obstacles to implantation and lead to pregnancy loss. Uterine fibroids can be treated without surgery and with little downtime using focused ultrasound. There is published research showing that women can conceive and have healthy children after therapy, thus protecting fertility. The ablation of uterine fibroids by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is successful since the volume of the fibroids is significantly reduced.

Transmission line fault detection and classification using bi-orthogonal wavelet transform (5.5) based signal decomposition
2026
The transmission line experiences the highest number of faults in a power system due to its high exposure and the high number of coincidences that might occur along it. This study presents an approach based on transmission line protection using wavelet transform with a bi-orthogonal wavelet 5.5 signal decomposition. The emphasis is on fault identification, and the proposed method studies the concentration of the coefficients and discriminates faulted phases from healthy phases. Up to Level 1, the signal is decomposed using a wavelet to capture the major features of the signal. A comprehensive assessment framework was used, and a 400 kV system was studied as an infinite bus coupled with a 300 km long transmission line. A contrivance for fault recognition is designed to determine anomalies in the transmission line between the faulted phases and their healthy counterparts with considerably higher detailed coefficients. Fault classification is then performed based on the choice of strict and carefully calibrated threshold values, in which faults are precisely identified and classified. A comparative analysis has been carried out with the relevant FFT, DFT and S-transform on the same MATALB platform. The proposed algorithm is also successfully validate for variation in system conditions like current inversion, CT saturation, non-linear effect of MOV and level of series compensation. An inclusive transmission line protection system is reliably and effectively cultivated through the custom of the planned protection procedure, in which it is shown to be highly capable of precisely sensing and categorizing faults. The replication outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of the system in practical situations and demonstrate that it may be used in real power systems.

Background & objectives: Timely intervention is needed to minimize the economic losses of vector-borne bovine anaplasmosis which can be possible by the isothermal amplification assay.
Methods: Anaplasma marginale in the cattle of south Gujarat, India was detected in the PCR and LAMP by amplifying the fragment of msp5 gene. The PCR product was digested with EcoRI, and sequenced to confirm its pathogen specific detection.
Results: Species specific PCR observed a band of 457 bp of msp5 DNA following 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. Positive LAMP reaction turned into yellow colour while negative sample depicted original pink colour. A detection limit of PCR and LAMP was up to 10-6 and 10-8 of the original genomic DNA of A. marginale, respectively. A single cut site of EcoRI was observed in the PCR product. Current msp5 DNA sequences of A. marginale (MW538962 and MW538961) showed 100% homology with the published sequences. Monophyletic lineage type relationship was observed with high bootstrap proportion among the msp5 DNA sequences of A. marginale in the phylogram. Prevalence rate of A. marginale was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the PCR [43/280 (15.36%)] and LAMP [62/280 (22.14%)] than the microscopic technique [17/280 (6.07%)]. Diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values at 95% CI for LAMP assay with respect to PCR were 93.02%, 90.72%, 64.52% and 98.62%, respectively.
Interpretation & conclusion: Thus LAMP can be a practical alternative to the PCR for the diagnosis of A. marginale infection in the cattle even in field condition.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), a leading cause of mortality and morbidity, is associated with a substantial healthcare and economic burden. Reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to guideline-recommended goals is crucial in the prevention or management of ASCVD, particularly in those at high risk. Despite the availability of several effective lipid-lowering therapies (LLTs), up to 80% of patients with ASCVD do not reach evidence-based LDL-C goals. This nonattainment may be due to poor adherence to, and lack of timely utilization of, LLTs driven by a range of variables, including polypharmacy, side effects, clinical inertia, costs, and access issues. Inclisiran was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2021 as a novel, twice-yearly, healthcare provider (HCP)-administered LLT. In-office administration allows HCPs more control of drug acquisition, administration, and reimbursement, and may allow for more timely care and increased patient monitoring. In the USA, in-office administered drugs are considered a Medical Benefit and can be acquired and reimbursed using the “buy-and-bill” process. Buy-and-bill is a standard system for medication administration already established in multiple therapeutic areas, including oncology, vaccines, and allergy/immunology. Initiating in-office administration will involve new considerations for clinicians in the cardiovascular specialty, such as the implementation of new infrastructure and processes; however, it could ultimately increase treatment adherence and improve cardiovascular outcomes for patients with ASCVD. This article discusses the potential implications of buy-and-bill for the cardiology specialty and provides a practical guide to implementing HCP-administered specialty drugs in US clinical practice.

Preeclampsia, a complex and perplexing disorder unique to pregnancy, is widely recognized as primarily originating from placental dysfunction and can only be resolved by the delivery of the fetus in severe cases. Preeclampsia is a prevalent medical issue during pregnancy and is associated with elevated rates of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. The exact cause of preeclampsia remains uncertain, although multiple factors have been implicated in its development based on current knowledge. Preeclampsia is characterized by maternal endothelial dysfunction due to the presence of fetal-derived circulatory substances from the placenta. The condition is associated with various risk factors, including maternal comorbidities such as chronic renal disease, hypertension (HTN), and obesity. Additionally, a family history of preeclampsia, nulliparity, multiple gestations, previous instances of preeclampsia, or intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR) are considered risk factors. Electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, and chloride, play a critical role in the function of vascular smooth muscles and may potentially contribute to the pathophysiology of hypertension. In this review, we have summarized the literature on electrolytes in preeclampsia by conducting an extensive systematic search of databases such as PubMed, Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE).
