Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethamphetamine Regulation of Sulfotransferases in Rat Liver and BrainTianyan Zhou, Chaoqun Huang, Yue Chen et al.Problem statement: Sulfotransferases (SULTs) are important phase II drug metabolizing enzymes. They also regulate the biological activities of various hormones. To the best of our knowledge, psychostimulants regulation of SULTs is basically not studied except one article reported that Methamphetamine (METH) treatment induced rat amygdale rSULT1A1 mRNA 4.3 fold by using microarray method to identify a series of candidate genes … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis: A Case ReportMojtaba Varshochi, Mehdi Haghdoost, Omid MashrabiProblem statement: Granulomatous Lobular Mastitis (GLM) or autoimmune mastitis is a rare and benign disease which, except one case reported in an old man, is usually seen during pregnancy or lactation period. This disease was described for the first time by Kessler. Approach: Our case is a 34 year-old woman who has a child with a history of using OCP … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Two Regimens of Nigella sativa Extract for Treatment of Subclinical Mastitis Caused by Staphylococcus aureusHamideh Ghodrati Azadi, Nima FarzanehProblem statement: Little research has focused on treatment of cows with subclinical mastitis during lactation. The seed of Nigella sativa Linn. (Ranunculaceae), commonly known as black seed or black cumin, is used in folk (herbal) medicine. Approach: Objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of Nigella sativa Extract (NSE) with two regimens for treatment of subclinical mastitis in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistological Study of Cervix Uteri in Caspian Miniature HorseM. Rezaian, S. HamediProblem statement: Uterine cervix which separates the uterus from the vagina, shows remarkable anatomical and histological differences among mammalian species. Since no cleared observations have been found in regards with the Caspian miniature horses’ cervix, the aim of the present study was to supplement this missing information which could be helpful for providing a stricter basis in detecting reproductive diseases … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredicting the Severity of Breast Masses with Ensemble of Bayesian ClassifiersAlaa M. ElsayadProblem statement: This study evaluated two different Bayesian classifiers; tree augmented Naive Bayes and Markov blanket estimation networks in order to build an ensemble model for prediction the severity of breast masses. The objective of the proposed algorithm was to help physicians in their decisions to perform a breast biopsy on a suspicious lesion seen in a mammogram image or … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCryptolepine Provokes Changes in the Expression of Cell Cycle Proteins in Growing CellsCharles Ansah, Nigel J. GooderhamProblem statement: Cryptolepine, the antimalarial plant alkaloid is cytotoxic to mammalian cells, but there is rather little understanding of the possible mechanisms involved in the cell-kill action of cryptolepine. Approach: We examined mammalian cells exposed to cryptolepine (0.5-5.0 μM) for effects on the cell cycle and associated alterations in the levels of major regulatory proteins using immunoblotting and flow cytometry. … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,396 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnticancer Activities of Styrylpyrone from the Leaves and Twigs of Goniothalamus maewongensis via Cell Cycle ArrestPradit Pradupsri, Chatchanok Loetchutinat, Narong Nuntasaen et al.Problem statement: Goniothalamus maewongensis is one of three new species which are found in Thailand recently. The genus goniothalamus is not only well known for the rich of styrylpyrones but also famous for the potential of biological activities, especially the cytotoxic activity against a number of human cancer cell lines. The phytochemical and biological investigations of this plant are interesting … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Putative Serine protease from Larval Midgut of Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): Partial Purification and Biochemical CharacterizationAhmed Al Jabr, Mahmoud Abo-El-SaadA putative serine protease was isolated and partially purified from larval midgut of red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) using anion exchange chromatography, DE-52. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of this protease showed that the major band has a molecular weight of approximately 24 kDa corresponding to the same molecular weight of mammalian trypsin. In addition, zymography … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification of Artificial Oliogosaccharides in Recombinant Escherichia coli CellsTomohisa Kato, Rie Mitsumori, Kenichi HatanakaArtificial oligosaccharides were modified using recombinant Escherichia coli cells that overexpress sialidase. Based on the principle of the saccharide primer method by using bacterial cells overexpressing enzymes related to oligosaccharide modification. Problem statement: It is very hard to obtain oligosaccharides, because they have complex and diverse structures with different linkage patterns and monosaccharide components. Approach: It had been known that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Alloxan-Diabetes on Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP) Immunoreactivity in the Gastrointestinal Tract, of Sprague Dawley Rats and How This May Affect Some of the Diabetic ComplicationsEdward O. Uche-Nwachi, Camille V. MitchellGastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is the mammalian analogue of bombesin. Both neuroendocrine peptides have similar distribution, functions and immunoreactivity. The immunoreactivity for GRP has been demonstrated in the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. This peptide is reported to have various biological and pharmacological properties, which include the release of gastrointestinal hormones, control of satiety, gastrointestinal motility and stimulation of cellular proliferation … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
