Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Activities of Unconventional Compounds against Some Bacteria Associated with Skin Infections in Humans, Sheep and GoatsIman Shabana, Amira El-AdlyBacterial skin infections are a common problem encountered in clinical practice and causing great economic losses for sheep and goats producers. Increasing multidrug resistance of pathogens paves the way for reconsidering alternative medicine. The present study was carried out to explore the antibacterial activities of different volumes; 5, 25, 50 and 100 µL of gold nanoparticles (NPS) and the aqueous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2016 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Protective acute inflammatory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,809 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractA Case of Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Exophiala oligosperma in a Renal Transplant Patient Successfully Treated with PosaconazoleAsaph C Levy, Sameer Rehman, Deanna A Sutton et al.Phaeohyphomycosis is an uncommon mycotic infection caused by dematiaceous fungi. We report a 53-year-old male who presented with phaeohyphomycosis on his upper extremities, 6 months after renal transplantation. Biopsy revealed pigmented moniliform hyphae and cultures grew Exophiala oligosperma. The lesions completely resolved after 3 months of treatment with posaconazole. …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2015 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNitric Oxide Donors with Therapeutic Strategic in Experimental Schistossomiasis MansoniWander Rogério Pavanelli, Jean Jerley Nogueira da Silva, Carolina Panis et al.Schistosomiasis, an immune disease, remains a major public health problem in endemic area. To determine the influence of Nitric Oxide (NO) on this disease, we tested two compounds (Trans-[Ru(bpy)2(NO)SO3](PF6)-PF6 and Na2[Fe(CN)5(NO)]-SNP, which releases NO when activated by biological reducing agents, in BALB/c mice infected subcutaneously by Schistosoma BH strains. The parasitic activity of NO-donors was evaluated in this model by … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Feb 2015 · 7,852 accessesView PDFCite
