    Abstract Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is the smallest animal infecting RNA virus with unique features distinguishing it from other Hepatitis viruses. Codon usage variation is considered as an indicator of the forces shaping genome evolution. RSCU (relative synonymous codon usage) values, nucleotide contents, ENC (effective number of codons) values, aromaticity and hydrophobicity of 28 HDV sequences were calculated and compared. RSCU values revealed that most of the codons ended with G or C. A comparative analysis of codon usage between HDV and human cells indicated that the synonymous codon usage pattern of HDV is a mixture of coincidence and antagonism to that of host cell. Finally the characteristics of the synonymous codon usage patterns, ENC plot and the correlation analysis revealed that the most important determinant of the codon usage pattern for HDV is mutational pressure and positive selection force might have some influence in sequence diversity. Comparison of ENC values and GC frequencies at 3rd codon position (GC3s) between HDV and other Hepatitis viruses indicated that HDV comprise a distinct entity.

    Abstract The immergence and dissemination of multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus in recent years have expedited the research on the discovery of novel anti-staphylococcal agents promptly. Bacteriophages have long been showing tremendous potentialities in curing the infections caused by various pathogenic bacteria including S. aureus. Thus far, only a few virulent bacteriophages, which do not carry any toxin-encoding gene but are capable of eradicating staphylococcal infections, were reported. Based on the codon usage analysis of sixteen S. aureus phages, previously three phages were suggested to be useful as the anti-staphylococcal agents. To search for additional S. aureus phages suitable for phage therapy, relative synonymous codon usage bias has been investigated in the protein-coding genes of forty new staphylococcal phages. All phages appeared to carry A and T ending codons. Several factors such as mutational pressure, translational selection and gene length seemed to be responsible for the codon usage variation in the phages. Codon usage indeed varied phage to phage. Of the phages, phages G1, Twort, 66 and Sap-2 may be extremely lytic in nature as majority of their genes possess high translational efficiency, indicating that these phages may be employed in curing staphylococcal infections.

    Abstract Statement of problem: Maxillofacial prostheses made of silicone elastomers undergo undesirable color degradation over time. How this color change can be prevented is unclear.
    Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the ability of an oxide nanocoating to prevent color degradation of maxillofacial silicone elastomers after artificial accelerated aging.
    Material and methods: A silicone elastomer with functional intrinsic pigment was tested. Specimens (N=20) were fabricated, and half of them were coated with a nanolayer of titanium dioxide (TiO
    Results: Color change (ΔE1=3.4 ±1.4) was observed for the silicone elastomers after the specimens were surface coated with TiO
    Conclusions: TiO
