Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Drug-Resistant Strains of Streptococcus Pneumoniae in AbakalikiIroha Ifeanyichukwu Romanus, Okafor Florence Njideka, Nwakaeze Emmanuel Amobi et al.Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of illness such as pneumonia, meningitis, bacteremia and otitis media in children and the elderly. The emergence of drug-resistant strains threatens to complicate the management of these diseases. We conducted a hospital-based surveillance for drug-resistant Strep. Pneumoniae in outpatients with pneumococcal infection in Abakaliki Ebonyi State Nigeria. Between 2003-2005 from January through December, a … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 26 Nov 2012 · 7,680 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProperties of Chitosan Nanoparticles Formed Using Sulfate Anions as Crosslinking BridgesMayyas M.A. Al-RemawiProblem statement: The preparation of new simple Chitosan nanoparticle delivery system is very important and could have many applications particularly in pharmaceutical field to be used as a drug delivery system. In this study, the production of robust Chitosan nanoparticles has been developed and characterized by chemical crosslinking using sulfate anions. Approach: Chitosan polymer is considered one of the best … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 28 May 2012 · 9,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Medicine-Prospects and ChallengesC. N. Ramchand, R. Sripathy, N. Somashekara et al.Drug discovery and development is a process that rationally leads to instigation of compound or formulation for the treatment of particular disease/diseased condition by acting on its specific target (s). Most of the drugs identified by conventional drug discovery process were as a result of unsystematic, random and serendipitous approach. Enhancement of knowledge in the field of biotechnology, molecular biology … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2012 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiotic Resistance of Escherichia Coli Isolated From Poultry and Poultry Environment of BangladeshMuhammad Ali Akond, S.M.R. Hassan, Saidul Alam, Momena ShirinProblem statement: Increased emergence in microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem in Bangladesh, a tropical country with a large agrarian population having limited medical facilities. Wide spread use of antimicrobials in poultry farming here is a concern of multi-drug microbial resistance development that can potentially be transmitted to human pathogens even from non-pathogenic carrier strains. Attempt was made … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 11,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Purified Tick Saliva Toxins on Various Bio-Molecules in Blood Serum, Liver and Muscles of Albino MiceNidhi Yadav, Ravi Kant UpadhyayIn the present study, salivary toxins from Rhipicephalus microplus were isolated and purified on a Sepharose CL 6B 200 gel column at a constant flow rate with regular fractions of 5 mL/min. Pooled fractions were lyophilized and LD50 was then determined in albino mice. The LD50 value of the protein toxin of Rhipicephalus microplus was found 36.11 mg/kg body weight … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 30 Dec 2023 · 5,358 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUPLC-QTOF-MS/MS and Bioinformatics Association Analysis Reveals the Pharmacodynamic Flavonoids in Scutellaria barbata and the Underlying Anti-Colorectal Cancer MechanismYi-Jie Cheng, Xin-Yun Du et al.Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and deadly malignancies worldwide, with no safe and effective drugs. The flavonoid in Scutellaria Barbata D. Don (SB) showed a good therapeutic effect on CRC. However, the pharmacodynamic substances and underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated which limited its development and application. This study aimed to identify the main flavonoid in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 14 Nov 2023 · 5,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesigning of Disulfide Cyclic Peptide for Inhibiting Polymerase A and B1 (PAC-PB1N) in H1N1 Virus using Molecular Simulation ApproachUsman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Mochammad Arfin Fardiansyah Nasution, Arli Aditya Parikesit et al.The drug resistance A/H1N1 flu virus is emerging rapidly. Therefore, looking for potential therapy is very important. PB2, PB and PA are subunits of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). They play an important role in viral replication. The PA and PB1 binding sites can be considered as potential targets for the development of new influenza drugs. The peptide inhibitors can … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2016 · 7,313 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Multi-Drug and Metal Resistant Aeromonas Species from Diverse SourcesRamasamy Amsaveni, Muthusamy Sureshkumar, Joseph Reshma Mary et al.The abuse of antibiotics in the modern era, lead the microorganisms to develop resistance. Antibiotic resistance becomes the part of natural selection in bacteria which allows them to survive in different environments. Bacteria like Aeromonas are able to adapt to changes in the environment such as an increase in antibiotic concentration, which often results in the development of mutations allowing … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,577 accessesView PDFCite
