Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV-1 Infection and Central Monoamine NeurotransmittersAdarsh M. Kumar, J. B. Fernandez, Irina Borodowsky et al.Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) enters the central nervous system (CNS) shortly after infection and gets localized in different brain regions, leading to various types of neuropathological problems. It has been hypothesized that HIV-1 infection mediated neuropathogenesis may also adversely affect the activity of the central monoamine neurotransmitters systems, such as dopamine (DA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin), resulting in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplications of Real-time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction in Clinical Virology Laboratories for the Diagnosis of Human DiseasesR. Manojkumar, V. MrudulaEarly diagnosis that prevents further expansion of the causative agent and thereby aids control and eradication of infectious agents is critical for countries trying to obtain a particular disease free status. In these diagnostics speed is paramount, including the assay’s applicability, sensitivity, specificity, cost effectiveness and patentability. Real-time Reverse Transcription PCR (rRT-PCR) has revolutionized the field of molecular biology and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhat is Missing in STD Screening in Hong Kong?Clement Leung-Kwok Chan, Wai Yee Chan, Christopher Hon Ki Cheng, Ping XiaThis retrospective analysis was to study the prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) in a Reproductive Medical Center in Hong Kong. A total of 1190 patients were included in this study. Group 1A, couples had no symptoms but presented with subinfertility; Group 1B, the subfertile couples were positive for either Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) or Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU); Group 2, couples … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 11 Jan 2017 · 8,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Antiviral Activity of Different Medicinal Plants against Newcastle Disease VirusKhaldoun J. Al-HadidNewcastle Disease (ND) is a highly contagious viral disease that has a tremendous negative impact on the poultry industry worldwide. Plant extracts were prepared from five different medicinal plants and applied against Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) to evaluate the antiviral replication in Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) chicken embryos. Three dilutions from each plant extract were prepared and mixed with a fixed … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Nov 2016 · 8,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of HMEC-1 Line and HUVEC Primary Culture Cells to Study the Neonatal IgG Fc Receptor in vitroLuz Belinda Ortiz-Alegría, Irma Cañedo-Solares, Felipe Vadillo-Ortega et al.The neonatal IgG Fc receptor (FcRn) plays an important role in IgG homeostasis and immunity passive transfer. Fine points regarding these mechanisms, however, are still emerging. In order to obtain information about these phenomena, it is essential to have in vitro models of endothelium that express this receptor. In this study we chose two widely used models of human endothelial … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2016 · 9,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGene Expression Profiling of Toll-Like Receptor 4 and 5 in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Patients with Systemic SclerosisSimin Almasi, Saeed Aslani, Hadi Poormoghim et al.The Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) family is appeared to be expressed in many cell types in the immune system and plays a role in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases. The expression profile and role of TLRs in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) have been partly explained. It is aimed through this investigation to evaluate the expression pattern of TLR 4 and 5 … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2016 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Association of HLA Class II Alleles with the Response to Alfa-Interferon/Ribavirin Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C PatientsAwny Aly Abol-Ez Gawish, Nahla Abd El-Hamid Mohammed, Rasha Adel Sayed Ahmed Hussein, Elsaid Galal El-BadrawyHuman Leucocyte Antigens (HLA) class II appears to play an important role in the individual’s immune response to viral infection. The present study was aimed at assessment of the relationship between HLA DRB1 alleles and the response to HCV combined therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C patients (CHC). We enrolled a total of 44 chronically infected HCV patients without Hepatitis B … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2015 · 6,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Those Up Regulate Klotho and Glutathione Peroxidase-1 Gene Expression Improve Renal Function in Rats with Acute Renal FailureFatma E. El-Gendey, Shabaan A. Hemeda, Gamal A. Sosa, Naglaa F. AlhusseiniAcute Renal Failure (ARF) has traditionally been defined as the abrupt and progressive loss of kidney functions resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products associated with interstitial inflammation, tubular injury and increasing Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). Mortality in patients with ARF remains high >50% in severely ill patients. Klotho gene is a new anti-aging gene.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGene Expression of FADS2 mRNA Linked to Intelligence in Exclusively Breast Milk Fed PretermsNaglaa F. Alhusseini, Amal Idris Ali, Azza M.A. Abul-Fadl et al.Breastfeeding is important for brain development and was shown by many studies to result in higher scores Intelligent Quotient (IQ). However, the exact mechanism whereby Breastfeeding influences cognitive development remains unclear. This study aimed to study the expression of genetic code FADS2 linked to the cognitive function in relation to the mode of feeding. The study comprised 30 preterm infants … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2014 · 6,858 accessesView PDFCite
