5 T and 969 at 3 T). DN/P were 1.085 ± 0.048 (1.5 T) and 0.979 ± 0.061 (3 T). GP/T were 1.084 ± 0.039 (1.5 T) and 1.069 ± 0.042 (3 T). Modal DN/P ratios from volumetric assessment at 1.5 T failed to show a statistical difference with or without SI corrections ( p = 0.71 ). All other t -tests demonstrated significant differences (measurement 2, 3, 4 compared to 1, p less then 0.001 ). Conclusion The fully automatic method is an effective powerful tool to streamline the analysis of SI ratios in the deep brain tissues. Divergent SI ratios using different approaches reinforces the need to standardize the measurement for the research in this field.Thanks to AEs who served JMI in 2020.
Myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Oxidative stress plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis leading to myocardial infarction and Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) act as detoxifying enzymes to reduce oxidative stress. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations of the GST (T1 & M1) gene polymorphism with the susceptibility of myocardial infarction in the Bangladeshi population.

A case-control study on 100 cardiac patients with MI and 150 control subjects was conducted. The genotyping of GST (T1 & M1) gene was done using conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction.

The percentage of GSTM1 genotypes was significantly (p< 0.01) lower in patients compared to control subjects while the GSTT1 genotypes were not significantly different between the study subjects. The individual with GSTM1 null allele was at 2.5-fold increased risk odds ratio (OR)= 2.5; 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI)= 1.4 to 4.3; p< 0.01 of experiencing MI while individual with either GSTM1 or GSTT1 genotypes was at lower risk. In the case of GST M1 and GST T1 combined genotype, patients having both null genotypes for GST M1 and GST T1 gene showed significantly (p< 0.01) higher risk of experiencing MI when compared to control subjects (OR= 3.5; 95% CI= 1.7-7.2; p< 0.001).

Thus our recent study suggested that GSTM1 alone and GSTM1 and T1 in combination augments the risk of MI in Bangladeshi population.

Currently, the efficient production of chimeric mice and their survival are still challenging. Recent researches have indicated that preimplantation embryo culture media and manipulation lead to abnormal methylation of histone in the
promotor region and consequently alter their gene expression pattern. This investigation was designed to evaluate the relationship between the methylation state of histone H3 and
expression in mice chimeric blastocysts.

Mouse 129/Sv embryonic stem cells (mESCs) expressing the green fluorescent protein (mESCs-GFP) were injected into the perivitelline space of 2.5 days post-coitis (dpc) embryos (C57BL/6) using a micromanipulator. H3K4 and H3K9 methylation, and H19 and
expression was measured by immunocytochemistry and q-PCR, respectively, in blastocysts.

Histone H3 trimethylation in H3K4 and H3K9 in chimeric blastocysts was significantly less and greater, respectively (p< 0.05), than in controls.
expression was significantly less (p< 0.05), while
expression was less, but not significantly so, in chimeric than in control blastocysts.

Our results showed, that the alteration ofH3K4me3 and H3K9me3 methylation, change
expression in chimeric blastocysts.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for new generations of antibiotics to overcome the threats of multidrug-resistant infections as well as other industrial applications. Recombinant expression of small peptides is challenging due to low expression rates and high sensitivity to proteases. However, recombinant multimeric or fusion expression of AMPs facilitates cost-effective large-scale production of AMPs. In This project, S3 and SΔ3 AMPs were expressed as fusion partners. S3 peptide is a 34 amino acid linear antimicrobial peptide derived from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding site of factor C of horseshoe crab hemolymph and SΔ3 is a modified variant of S3 possessing more positive charges.

Two copy tandem repeat of the fusion protein (named as SΔ3S3-2mer-GS using glycine- serine linker was expressed in
. BL21 (DE3). After cell disruption and solubilization of inclusion bodies, the protein was purified by Ni -NTA affinity chromatography. Antimicrobial activity and cytotoxic properties of purified SΔ3S3-2mer-GS were compared with a previously produced tetramer of S3 with the same glycine- serine linker (S3-4mer-GS) and each of monomeric blocks of S3 and SΔ3.

SΔ3S3-2mer-GS was successfully expressed with an expression rate of 26%. The geometric average of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC GM) of SΔ3S3-2mer-GS was 28%, 34%, and 57% lower than SΔ3, S3-4mer-GS, and S3, respectively. SΔ3S3-2mer-GS had no toxic effect on eukaryotes human embryonic kidney cells at its MIC concentration.

tandem repeated fusion expression strategy could be employed as an effective technique for recombinant production of AMPs.

Some recent studies have reported anti-tumor activity for Thymol, but the findings are inconsistent. This study aimed to investigate and compare Thymol's effects on MCF-7 cancer cells and fibroblasts while treated with tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP).

In the pre-treatment, MCF-7 and fibroblast cells were treated with various Thymol concentrations and incubated for 24 h. Then, t-BHP was added to a final concentration of 50 μM, and the cells were incubated for one h. In the post-treatment, cells were incubated first with 50 μM t-BHP for one h and then treated with Thymol. Cell viability was tested by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Thymol's antioxidant capacity was measured by DPPH and FRAP assays, and lipid peroxidation levels were determined by the TBARS method.

The thymol effects were dose-dependent, and despite their antioxidant properties, at concentrations of 100 µg/ml or more, increased t-BHP toxicity and reduced cancer cell viability. Etoposide order MTT assay result showed that pre-treatment and post-treatment with Thymol for 24 hours effectively reduced MCF-7 and fibroblast cell viability compared with the untreated control group.
