    Abstract Acute viral hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, E, D, and G, can lead to severe bone marrow suppression due to cytotoxic lymphocytes. The bone marrow suppression causes aplastic anaemia which is mostly unresponsive to immunosuppressive therapy. Such patients require bone marrow transplant for a complete cure. The pancytopenia can evolve during recovery from transaminitis. We are presenting two case reports relating aplastic anaemia with acute viral hepatitis in two young patients-23 and 16 years of age. The 23-year-old female patient had hepatitis A associated with aplastic anaemia whereas the young 16-year-old male patient was diagnosed with Hepatitis E IgG associated aplastic anaemia. Unfortunately, the first patient could not cope with the complications relating to pancytopenia and was unable to reach the bone marrow transplant stage. The second patient did not have a bone marrow transplant but showed an excellent response to immunosuppressive therapy before the transplant and survived.

    Abstract The G-quadruplex (GQ), a tetrahelix formed by guanine-rich nucleic acid sequences, is a potential drug target for several diseases. Monomolecular GQs are stabilized by guanine tetrads and non-guanine regions that form loops. Hydrostatic pressure destabilizes the folded, monomolecular GQ structures. In this communication, we present data on the effect of pressure on the conformational stability of the tetramolecular GQ, d[5'-TGGGGT-3']

    Abstract COVID-19 is a viral disease caused by a novel coronavirus that ignited the ongoing pandemic in December 2019. The infected patients may be asymptomatic, have fever and myalgias, develop mild pulmonary symptoms or go into overt respiratory failure. There is also a significant number of patients with gastrointestinal and thromboembolic disease presentation and complications. Since respiratory features predominate, physicians might miss other systemic manifestations. Here, we present the case of a 62-year-old male who was admitted with COVID-19 pneumonia and later went into septic shock and then developed acute abdomen caused by small gut perforation.

    Abstract The solute urea has been used extensively as a denaturant in protein folding studies; double-stranded nucleic acid structures are also destabilized by urea, but comparatively less than proteins. In previous research, the solute has been shown to strongly destabilize folded G-quadruplex DNA structures. This contribution demonstrates the stabilizing effect of urea on the G-quadruplex formed by the oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN), G3T (d[5'-GGGTGGGTGGGTGGG-3']), and related sequences in the presence of sodium or potassium cations. Stabilization is observed up to 7 M urea, which was the highest concentration we investigated. The folded structure of G3T has three G-tetrads and three loops that consist of single thymine residues. ODNs related to G3T, in which the thymine residues in the loop are substituted by adenosine residues, also exhibit enhanced stability in the presence of molar concentrations of urea. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of these ODNs in the presence of urea are consistent with that of a G-quadruplex. As the urea concentration increases, the spectral intensities of the peaks and troughs change, while their positions change very little. The heat-induced transition from the folded to unfolded state, T

    Abstract The kinetic and thermodynamic stabilities of G-quadruplex structures have been extensively studied. In contrast, systematic investigations of the volumetric properties of G-quadruplexes determining their pressure stability are still relatively scarce. The G-rich strand from the promoter region of the c-MYC oncogene (G-strand) is known to adopt a range of conformational states including the duplex, G-quadruplex, and coil states depending on the presence of the complementary C-rich strand (C-strand) and solution conditions. In this work, we report changes in volume, ΔV, and adiabatic compressibility, ΔKS, accompanying interconversions of G-strand between the G-quadruplex, duplex, and coil conformations in the presence and absence of C-strand. We rationalize these volumetric characteristics in terms of the hydration and intrinsic properties of the DNA in each of the sampled conformational states. We further use our volumetric results in conjunction with the reported data on changes in expansibility, ΔE, and heat capacity, ΔCP, associated with G-quadruplex-to-coil transitions to construct the pressure–temperature phase diagram describing the stability of the G-quadruplex. The phase diagram is elliptic in shape, resembling the classical elliptic phase diagram of a globular protein, and is distinct from the phase diagram for duplex DNA. The observed similarity of the pressure–temperature phase diagrams of G-quadruplexes and globular proteins stems from their shared structural and hydration features that, in turn, result in the similarity of their volumetric properties. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first pressure–temperature stability diagram reported for a G-quadruplex.
