Delving into the Latest Updates on University of Anbar with Synapse

Overview

The aim of the current intervention study is to determine the effectiveness of taurine containing eye drops (available under brand name VIZILOTON) to prevent the progression of grade I and II senile cataract.
This study could answer:
* Dose continuous use of taurine-containing eye drops could prevent further deterioration of vision in mild cases of cataract?
* The acceptance/ compliance of participants to taurine-containing eye drops.
* Could long-term use of taurine-containing eye drops cause adverse effect(s)?
Participants will:
* Take taurine-containing eye drops (VIZILOTON eye drops) 4 times a day for one year.
* Visit eye clinic every 3 months for assessment and visual examination.
* Keep notes for their symptoms and their adherence to treatment.

Integrative role of small non-coding RNAs in viral immune response: a systematic review

Review

Author: Shaban, Semaa A ; Suleiman, Ahmed AbdulJabbar ; Al-Chalabi, Rawaa

Various viruses cause viral infection, and these viruses have different microscopic sizes, genetic material, and morphological forms. Due to a viral infection, the host body induces defense mechanisms that activate the innate and adaptive immune system. sncRNAs are involved in various biological processes and play an essential role in antiviral response in viruses including ZIKV, HCV, DENV, SARS-CoV, and West Nile virus, and regulate the complex interactions between the viruses and host cells. This review discusses the role of miRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs, and tiRNAs in antiviral response. Cellular miRNAs bind with virus mRNA and perform their antiviral response in multiple viruses. However, the chemical modifications of miRNA necessary to avoid nuclease attack, which is then involved with intracellular processing, have proven challenging for therapeutic replacement of miRNAs. siRNAs have significant antiviral responses by targeting any gene of interest along the correct nucleotide of targeting mRNA. Due to this ability, siRNAs have valuable characteristics in antiviral response for therapeutic purposes. Additionally, the researchers noted the involvement of piRNAs and tiRNAs in the antiviral response, yet their findings were deemed insignificant.
