EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial Activity of Skin Secretion of Bleeding Toad Leptophryne cruentata and Javan Tree Frog Rhacophorus margaritiferI Made Artika, Sabrina Pinontoan, Mirza Dikari KusriniBacterial resistance towards antibiotics has increased morbidity, mortality and health-care costs. Therefore, it is important to search for new types of antibacterial agents. This study was aimed to test antibacterial activity of epinephrine-stimulated skin secretions derived from two species of Anura endemic in Indonesia, the bleeding toad Leptophryne cruentata and the javan tree frog Rhacophorus margaritifer. The filter-sterilized skin secretions … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 7 Jul 2015 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between Dispersion and Mean Toassess Healthcare Servicee FficiencyRamalingam ShanmugamMotivation for this research work started while helping a hospital administrator to assess whether patient oriented activity duration, X≥0 is reflecting the service’s efficiency? Higher value of the sample mean duration, X implies lesser productivity in the hospital and more healthcare cost. Likewise, larger value of sample dispersion, sx2 in the service durations is an indicator of lesser reliability and … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulberry Fruit Mitigates Alcohol Neurotoxicity and Memory Impairment Induced by Chronic Alcohol IntakeJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Nattaporn Phunchago, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: To date, the therapeutic strategy efficacy against memory impairment induced by alcohol intoxication is still limited. The novel therapeutic strategy which is easy to approach, less toxic and less cost is required. Based on the role of oxidative stress in memory impairment induced by alcohol, the neuroprotective effect of substance possessing antioxidant has gained much attention. Therefore, we … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2012 · 9,328 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagerial Administration of Farming Machinery for Rice ProductionYosphatrachai Phuangpee, Pradtana YossuckProblem statement: This research was conducted due to an increase of agricultural machinery cost for rice production (46.00%) of farmers in Phichit province. Based on an analysis of cost reduction using the method of John Deere, it was found that this may decrease from 46.00-28.50% of the total cost. Thus, there was a question how to mange the agricultural machinery. … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnbalance Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Problem Reduction in Drug DesignD. Pugazhenthi, S. P. RajagopalanProblem statement: Activities of drug molecules can be predicted by Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) models, which overcome the disadvantage of high cost and long cycle by employing traditional experimental methods. With the fact that number of drug molecules with positive activity is rather fewer than that with negatives, it is important to predict molecular activities considering such an unbalanced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
