    Abstract Background: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) represents the spontaneous termination of two or more successive pregnancies. TNFα is a proinflammatory cytokine that is often considered harmful for embryonic development when expressed beyond normal levels.
    Aim: The study was conducted to assess the association between TNFα-308 polymorphism and RM pathogenesis.
    Methods: Samples of blood were obtained from patients and controls through venipuncture. The levels of TNFα in serum were measured by ELISA. TNFα gene promoter-associated single-nucleotide polymorphism was investigated with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) techniques with precise primers and the restriction endonuclease, NcoI.
    Results: Serum TNFα levels in patients were considerably high (p < 0.05) than controls. The genotype and allele frequencies for TNFα gene polymorphism differs significantly (p = 0.0089; p = 0.0043 respectively) between patients and controls. The TNFα-308 SNP exhibited a link with higher RM risk in heterozygous (GG vs. GA; OR: 3.086, 95% CI: 1.475-6.480; p:
    Conclusion: The serum TNFα levels were significantly higher in the patients than the controls. The genotyping analysis also demonstrated that TNFα-308G/A SNP significantly increases the overall risk of RM, suggesting that the SNP modulates the TNFα gene expression and thereby increases serum TNFα levels that adversely affect the pregnancy outcome.

    Abstract Background: Our present study was to investigate the methylation and Gene expression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene in the causing T2DM and to determine the inflammatory biomarkers in exaggerating T2DM in Kashmiri population.
    Methods: In this study, T2DM cases (
    Results: Studies using RT-PCR demonstrated that patients with diabetes had a lower degree of VDR expression than control subjects (
    Conclusions: This study suggests the hypermethylation and down expression of VDR as one of the basis for causing T2DM in kashmiri individuals, exaggerated by enhanced degree of TNF-α, CRP, IL-6 and leptin and diminished concentration of IL-10 and adiponectin in T2DM.

The genotype and allele frequencies for TNFα gene polymorphism differs significantly (p = 0.0089; p = 0.0043 respectively) between patients and controls. The TNFα-308 SNP exhibited a link with higher RM risk in heterozygous (GG vs. GA; OR: 3.086, 95% CI: 1.475–6.480; p: 0.0027), dominant (GG vs. GA + AA; OR: 2.919, 95% CI: 1.410–6.056, p: 0.0038), and allelic/codominant (G vs. A; OR: 2.449, 95% CI: 1.313–4.644, p: 0.0064) models. However, this SNP showed an insignificant association with higher and lower RM risk in homozygous (GG vs. AA; OR: 1.915, 95% CI: 0.3804–10.99, p: 0.6560) and recessive (AA vs. GA + GG; OR: 0.6596, 95% CI: 0.1152–3.297, p: >0.9999) models, respectively. Further, the TNFα-308G/A genotype frequencies were in concord with HWE both in the controls (χ2 = 3.235; p = 0.1985) and the patients (χ2 = 0.0117; p = 0.9942). Conclusion: The serum TNFα levels were significantly higher in the patients than the controls. The genotyping analysis also demonstrated that TNFα-308G/A SNP significantly increases the overall risk of RM, suggesting that the SNP modulates the TNFα gene expression and thereby increases serum TNFα levels that adversely affect the pregnancy outcome.

    Abstract Wilson's disease is arare inherited disorder of copper met abolism. If le f t untre ated, i t can turn into a multi systemic disease with copper deposition in the liver, brain, a nd other tissues. Diagnosi s of Wilson's is delayed in Pak ist an by many ye a rs on average due to va riabl e presen tations. In ad olescents, the initial s igns a re more likely to b e neuropsychiatric. Here we present a case of Wilso n's disease that pre sented initially with he patic symptoms and did not have signs specific to the di sea s e such as Kayser-Fleischer rings. Our case was diagnosed to be Wilson's Disease on ly on further investigat ions and s ubsequently the patient was treated with chela tion therapy using D-Penicillamine.Wilson's Disease should be kept in mind as a differential diagno sis in adolesce nt patients that present with unexplained acute liver failure and cytopenias without any neurological symptoms, as a missed diagnosis can prove to be fatal.

    Abstract Recurrent miscarriage (RM) represents the spontaneous termination of two or more successive pregnancies. TNFα is a proinflammatory cytokine that is often considered harmful for embryonic development when expressed beyond normal levels. The study was conducted to assess the association between TNFα-308 polymorphism and RM pathogenesis. Samples of blood were obtained from patients and controls through venipuncture. The levels of TNFα in serum were measured by ELISA. TNFα gene promoter-associated single-nucleotide polymorphism was investigated with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) techniques with precise primers and the restriction endonuclease, NCOI. Serum TNFα levels in patients were considerably high (p < 0.05) than controls. The genotype and allele frequencies for TNFα gene polymorphism differs significantly (p = 0.0089; p = 0.0043 respectively) between patients and controls.

    Abstract Globally, more than 2 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) are generated each year, with that amount anticipated to reach around 3.5 billion tonnes by 2050. On a worldwide scale, food and green waste contribute the major proportion of MSW, which accounts for 44% of global waste, followed by recycling waste (38%), which includes plastic, glass, cardboard, and paper, and 18% of other materials. Population growth, urbanization, and industrial expansion are the principal drivers of the ever-increasing production of MSW across the world. Among the different practices employed for the management of waste, landfill disposal has been the most popular and easiest method across the world. Waste management practices differ significantly depending on the income level. In high-income nations, only 2% of waste is dumped, whereas in low-income nations, approximately 93% of waste is burned or dumped. However, the unscientific disposal of waste in landfills causes the generation of gases, heat, and leachate and results in a variety of ecotoxicological problems, including global warming, water pollution, fire hazards, and health effects that are hazardous to both the environment and public health. Therefore, sustainable management of MSW and landfill leachate is critical, necessitating the use of more advanced techniques to lessen waste production and maximize recycling to assure environmental sustainability. The present review provides an updated overview of the global perspective of municipal waste generation, composition, landfill heat and leachate formation, and ecotoxicological effects, and also discusses integrated-waste management approaches for the sustainable management of municipal waste and landfill leachate.

    Abstract Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) is a pleiotropic secretory cytokine exhibiting both cancer-inhibitory and promoting properties. It transmits its signals via Suppressor of Mother against Decapentaplegic (SMAD) and non-SMAD pathways and regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis. In non-cancer and early-stage cancer cells, TGFβ signaling suppresses cancer progression via inducing apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, or anti-proliferation, and promoting cell differentiation. On the other hand, TGFβ may also act as an oncogene in advanced stages of tumors, wherein it develops immune-suppressive tumor microenvironments and induces the proliferation of cancer cells, invasion, angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, and metastasis. Higher TGFβ expression leads to the instigation and development of cancer. Therefore, suppressing TGFβ signals may present a potential treatment option for inhibiting tumorigenesis and metastasis. Different inhibitory molecules, including ligand traps, anti-sense oligo-nucleotides, small molecule receptor-kinase inhibitors, small molecule inhibitors, and vaccines, have been developed and clinically trialed for blocking the TGFβ signaling pathway. These molecules are not pro-oncogenic response-specific but block all signaling effects induced by TGFβ. Nonetheless, targeting the activation of TGFβ signaling with maximized specificity and minimized toxicity can enhance the efficacy of therapeutic approaches against this signaling pathway. The molecules that are used to target TGFβ are non-cytotoxic to cancer cells but designed to curtail the over-activation of invasion and metastasis driving TGFβ signaling in stromal and cancer cells. Here, we discussed the critical role of TGFβ in tumorigenesis, and metastasis, as well as the outcome and the promising achievement of TGFβ inhibitory molecules in the treatment of cancer.
