"Vaccine immune pressure influences viral population complexity of avian influenza virus during infection.",
Veterinary microbiology, vol. 203, pp. 88-94, 2017 May.
AbstractVaccines are useful tools to control influenza A virus infection in poultry, but they need to be periodically reformulated to guarantee appropriate protection from infection and to limit viral replication and circulation, which could favour the emergence of new variants. In this study, a deep sequencing approach was used to characterize and follow the evolution of the hemagglutinin of the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viral population in infected animals vaccinated with two vaccines conferring different protection levels. Results from this preliminary investigation suggested that the evolution of the viral population, as well as the abundance and heterogeneity of minority variants could be influenced by the immune pressure conferred by vaccination.

"Vacuolar ATPase 'a2' isoform exhibits distinct cell surface accumulation and modulates matrix metalloproteinase activity in ovarian cancer.",
Oncotarget, vol. 6, issue 6, pp. 3797-810, 2015 Feb 28.
AbstractTumor associated vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-ATPases) are multi-subunit proton pumps that acidify tumor microenvironment, thereby promoting tumor invasion. Subunit 'a' of its V0 domain is the major pH sensing unit that additionally controls sub-cellular targeting of V-ATPase and exists in four different isoforms. Our study reports an elevated expression of the V-ATPase-V0a2 isoform in ovarian cancer(OVCA) tissues and cell lines(A2780, SKOV-3 and TOV-112D). Among all V0'a' isoforms, V0a2 exhibited abundant expression on OVCA cell surface while normal ovarian epithelia did not. Sub-cellular distribution of V-ATPase-V0a2 confirmed its localization on plasma-membrane, where it was also co-associated with cortactin, an F-actin stabilizing protein at leading edges of cancer cells. Additionally, V0a2 was also localized in early and late endosomal compartments that are sites for modulations of several signaling pathways in cancer. Targeted inhibition of V-ATPase-V0a2 suppressed matrix metalloproteinase activity(MMP-9 & MMP-2) in OVCA cells. In conclusion, V-ATPase-V0a2 isoform is abundantly expressed on ovarian tumor cell surface in association with invasion assembly related proteins and plays critical role in tumor invasion by modulating the activity of matrix-degrading proteases. This study highlights for the first time, the importance of V-ATPase-V0a2 isoform as a distinct biomarker and possible therapeutic target for treatment of ovarian carcinoma.

"VACUUM THERAPY VERSUS ABDOMINAL EXERCISES ON ABDOMINAL OBESITY",
Int J Physiother, vol. 3, issue 3, pp. 280-285, 2016.
AbstractBackground: Obesity is a medical condition that may adversely affect wellbeing and leading to increased incidence of
many health problems. Abdominal obesity tends to be associated with weight gain and obesity and it is significantly
connected with different disorders like coronary heart disease and type II diabetes mellitus.This study was conducted
to investigate the efficacy of vacuum therapy as compared to abdominal exercises on abdominal obesity in overweight
and obese women.
Methods: Thirtyoverweight and obese women participated in this study with body mass index > 25 kg/m2andwaist
circumference ≥ 85 cm. Their ages ranged from 28 - 40 years old.The subjects were excluded if they have diabetes, abdominal
infection diseases or any physical limitation restricting exercise ability. They were randomly allocated into two
equal groups; group I and group II. Group I received vacuum therapy sessions (by the use of LPG device) in addition
to aerobic exercise training. Group II received abdominal exercises in addition to the same aerobic exercisesgiven to
group I. This study was extended for successive 8 weeks (3 sessions/ week). All subjects were assessed for thickness of
the abdominal skin fold, waist circumference and body mass index.
Results: The results of this study showeda significant difference between group I and group II post-interventionas regarding
to the mean values of waist circumference and abdominal skin fold thickness (p<0.05).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that aerobic exercises combined with vacuum therapy (forthree sessions/week for
successive 8 weeks) have a positive effect on women with abdominal obesity in terms of reducing waist circumference
and abdominal skin fold thickness.
