Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCocaine: A Catalyst for Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Associated DementiaNavneet K. Dhillon, Milind Gadgil, Andy Rahardja et al.Injection drug use has been recognized as a major risk factor for AIDS from the outset of the epidemic. Cocaine, one of the most widely abused drugs in the United States can both impair the functions of macrophages and CD4+ lymphocytes and also activate HIV-1 expression in these cells. Cocaine is a multifactorial agent that acts globally to impair the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,587 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpression of Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) and Nucleotide-binding Oligomerization Domain (NODs) in murine peritoneal macrophages on in vitro treatment with Thymosin Î± 1Shikha Tarang, Ajit SodhiThymosin α 1 (Tα1) treatment of murine peritoneal macrophages in vitro induces the expression of TLRs and Nod2 proteins. Enhanced expressions of TLR2, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9 and Nod2 were observed by RT-PCR and western blotting. Expression of downstream signaling molecules - MyD88, IRAK1, TRAF6, IRF3 were also up regulated on treatment with Tα1. It was also observed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,150 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStability of Neodymium(III) Complexes of 4-Hydroxycoumarins with Anticoagulant ActivityIrena Kostova, Irina NikolovaComplexes of neodymium(III) with 4-hydroxy-3-(3-oxo-1-phenylbutyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one, 4-hydroxy-3-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-oxobutyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one and 4-hydroxy-3-[1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-oxobutyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one were synthesized by mixing of water solutions of neodymium(III) nitrate and the respective ligands, in amounts equal to metal: ligand molar ratio of 1: 3. The complexes were characterized and identified by elemental analysis, conductivity, IR and 1H NMR spectral data. DTA and TGA have been applied to confirm the compositions of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,554 accessesView PDF Cite
