Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZinc Deficiency and Associated T-Cell Dysfunctioning among Human Immunodeficiency Virus SeropositivesM. Andrew Pradeep, M. Thiruvalluvan, V. Nalini, J. Stella MaryProblem statement: All the nutrients in the diet play a crucial role in maintaining an optimal immune response. In both, deficient and excessive intake of nutrients can have negative consequence on the immune status and susceptibility to a variety of pathogens. Zinc is an essential micronutrient for human growth development and immune function. It plays a vital role in structure … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,037 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Camel's Milk on Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Swiss Albino MiceMohamed E.M. AfifiProblem statement: Nephrotoxicity is a major complication and a dose limiting factor for cisplatin therapy. Cisplatin mediated nephrotoxicity is remarkably documented by reactive oxygen species. Camel's milk has good nutritive value, antigenotoxic and anticytotoxic effects. The aim of the present study was to assess the protective effect of camel's milk against Cisplatin-induced renal oxidative stress in mice. Approach: Forty mal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCocaine Exposure Results in Formation of Dendritic Varicosity in Rat Primary Hippocampal NeuronsHonghong Yao, Crystal Bethel-Brown, Anil Kumar, Shilpa BuchProblem statement: It has been well documented that drugs of abuse such as cocaine can cause enhanced progression of HIV-Associated Neuropathological Disorders (HAND), the underlying mechanisms mediating these effects remain poorly understood. Approach: In present study, we explored the impact of cocaine exposure (I and 10 μM) on the dendritic beading in rat primary hippocampal neurons. Using the approach of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroarray Analysis of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Responses to Bacterial LipopolysaccharideJoe Minta James, J. Yun, Sandy Der, Shikha RanaAccumulating evidence suggest a causal role of bacterial and viral infections in atherogenesis. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to stimulate resting vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) with the production of inflammatory cytokines and modulation of quiescent cells to the proliferative and synthetic phenotype. To comprehensively identify biologically important genes associated with LPS-induced SMC phenotype modulation, we compared the transcriptomes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAqueous Extract of Inonotus bliquus (Fr.) Pilat (Hymenochaetaceae) Significantly Inhibits the Growth of Sarcoma 180 by Inducing ApoptosisCaifa Chen, Weifa Zheng, Xiaowen Gao et al.Inonotus obliquus (Fr.) Pilat (Hymenochaetaceae) has been widely used as a folk medicine to treat various cancers in Russia, Poland and most of Baltic countries for literally more than four centuries. However, in spite of its therapeutic significance for cancers, this fungus has not been studied systematically for the mechanisms of antitumor activity. In this study, we report the effects … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 21,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Feasibility Study of Challenges and Opportunities in Computational Biology: A Malaysian PerspectiveR. J.A. Richard, N. SriraamThe term computational biology refers to the knowledge derived from a computer analysis of biological data that includes identification of genes in DNA sequence of different organisms, prediction of structural and functional mechanism of proteins, feature extraction and classification of genomics and proteomics. Computational biology is a rapidly developing branch of science and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and Concepts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHeterologous Expression and Characterization of Thermostable Levansucrase (BsSacB) from Bacillus subtilis BB03Viniti Vaidya, Gajjeraman Prabu, D. Theertha PrasadThermostable levansucrase encoding gene (sacB) with its promoter was isolated from Bacillus subtilis BB03. BsSacB is composed of 1419 bp, encoding 473 amino acid residues and with promoter regions TTGCAA (-35) and TAGAAT (-10). The amino acid sequence analysis of BsSacB showed conserved motifs of microbial fructosyltransferase belonging to Glycoside Hydrolase family 68 (GH68). Comparative analysis of the protein structure … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2015 · 7,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Novel Distinguishability Based Weighted Feature Selection Algorithms for Improved Classification of Gene Microarray DatasetJ. Jeyachidra, M. PunithavalliData mining played vital role in comprehending, analyzing, understanding and interpreting microarray technology expression data. That includes search for genes that had similar or correlated patterns of expression. For that, the feature selection was one of the frequently used important techniques for data preprocessing. Many feature selection algorithms had been developed. Yet the persisting problem was in selecting optimal subset … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 Feb 2015 · 6,376 accessesView PDFCite
