Complete sequence analysis and antiviral screening of medicinal plants for Human Coxsackievirus A16 isolated in Korea
Coxsackievirus A group 16 strain (CVA16) is one of the predominant causative agents of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFHD). Using a specimen isolated from a male patient with HFMD, we isolated and performed sequencing of the Korean CVA16 strain and compared it with a G10 reference strain. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Korean CVA16 isolate belonged to cluster B-1 and was closely related to the strain “PM-15765-00” isolated in Malaysia in 2000. The Korean CVA16 isolate showed 73.2% nucleotide identity to the G10 prototype strain and 98.7% nucleotide identity to PM-15765-00. (Source: Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives)

Evaluation of Early Secreted Antigenic Target 6 Recombinant Protein as a Diagnostic Marker in Skin Test
This study was performed to evaluate the use of recombinant early secretory antigenic target 6 (rESAT-6), a secretory protein found only in MTB, Mycobacterium bovis, and few other mycobacterial species, as a skin marker for MTB in guinea pigs. (Source: Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives)

Isolation and Identification of Endosulfan-Degrading Bacteria and Evaluation of Their Bioremediation in Kor River, Iran
Endosulfan is a lipophilic insecticide, which causes severe health issues due to its environmental stability, toxicity, and biological reservation in organisms. It is found in the atmosphere, soil, sediments, surface waters, rain, and food in almost equal proportions. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify endosulfan-degrading bacteria from the Kor River and evaluate the possibility of applying bioremediation in reducing environmental pollution in the desired region.

Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties and Drug Permeability of Chitosan/ Eudragit RL Composite Film
The aim of this study was to design and evaluate a chitosan-based film which has required properties for successful wound dressing and can control drug penetration and maintenance time in the location. Several formulations of film containing chitosan (3%) and different concentrations of Eudragit RL (0.5, 1 and 1.5%) were prepared by using casting/solvent evaporating technique. Mechanical properties, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), oxygen permeability (OP), water uptake and nitrofurazone permeability through the films were investigated.
