Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRat Cardiomyocytes Express a Classical Epithelial Beta-DefensinAnnika Linde, Gerald H. Lushington, Frank Blecha, Tonatiuh MelgarejoBeta-defensins (BDs) are classical epithelial antimicrobial peptides of immediate importance in innate host defense. Since recent studies have suggested that certain BDs are also expressed in non-traditional tissues, including whole heart homogenate, and because effector molecules of innate immunity and inflammation can influence the development of certain cardiovascular disease processes, we hypothesized that BDs are produced by cardiomyocytes as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetic Study of the Effect of Benzoic Acid Derivatives on Copper ElectrodepositionHowaida M. El-KashlanThe effect of anodic oxygen bubbles on the rate of mass transfer in presence of benzoic acid, p-nitro, p-chloro and p-aminobenzoic acids were studied by measuring the limiting current of cathodic deposition of copper from acidified copper sulphate solution using lead anode. It is found that the rate of deposition decreases by adding organic substances. The rate of deposition depends … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSesame Oil As A Protective Agent Against Doxorubicin Induced Cardio Toxicity In RatKaneez F. Shad, Suhail Al-Salam, Alaaeldin A. HamzaThe therapeutic value of doxorubicin (DXO) as anticancer antibiotic is limited by its cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of sesame oil against DXO-induced cardiotoxicity and oxidative stress. The administration of DXO (20 mg/kg) to Wister male rats, increased serum aspartate aminotransferase and creatine kinase activities (as cardiotoxicity indices) as well as cardiac malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn silico Modeling of α1A-Adrenoceptor: Interaction of its Normal and Mutated Active Sites with Noradrenaline as well as its Agonist and AntagonistRamchandran Vijayan, Naidu Subbarao, Birendra Nath MallickNoradrenaline, like most other neurotransmitters, acts through various adrenoceptor subtypes. The structure and active site of adrenoceptors for the binding of noradrenaline were unknown, however, such information are crucial for understanding the molecular mechanism of action of neurotransmitters, including noradrenaline, in health and disease as well as for drug designing. In this in silico study, we modeled the α1A-adrenoceptor; a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,144 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStandard Versus Specific Therapy for Chronic Osteomyelitis TreatmentAngela Ingianni, Giorgio Lampis, Samuela Laconi et al.58 patients with chronic osteomyelitis were treated either with a standard therapy or with a specific targeted therapy based on the antibiogram assay. Standard therapy was performed by a 15-day course of a parenteral cephalosporin (usually ceftriaxone) in combination with an aminoglycoside (e.g. netilmicin), followed by oral therapy with a fluoroquinolone (generally ciprofloxacin) for 1 to 3 months; specific therapy … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,879 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurcuma longa, Glycyrrhiza glabra and Moringa oleifera Ameliorate Diclofenac-induced Hepatoxicity in RatsAlaaeldin A. HamzaAlthough treatment with therapeutic agents may be one of the main causes of liver toxicity, there have been only limited attempts at thorough research efforts to seek solution. Diclofenac (DIC) is a widely used anti-inflammatory drug that causes liver toxicity. This DIC-induced hepatotoxicity was found to be associated with oxidative damage. In this report, extracts of herbal plants that are … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 9,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Heat Shock Transcription Factor Family in Entamoeba histolyticaConsuelo G. García, Ma. De la Luz Macias Argüelles, D. Guillermo P Ishiwara et al.The HSTF is a master molecule involved in the transcriptional control of several genes during different types of stress. This transcription factor is a very conserved protein identified in different organisms from bacterial to human. Entamoeba histolytica is the protozoan responsible for the human amoebiasis. This parasite is exposed to different kind of stress as changes in the pH, temperature, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Proteolytic System of Candida dubliniensisLoaiza-Loeza Salomé, Parra-Ortega Berenice, Bautista-Muñoz Consuelo et al.Proteases of Candida dubliniensis have been scarcely studied, these enzymes may play an important role in nitrogen metabolism, post-translational processing, nutritional stress, dimorphism, virulence, etc. In this work, we report the presence of five different intracellular proteases and one extracellular proteolytic activity. The intracellular proteases are: aminopeptidase ycdAPE, carboxypeptidase ycdCP, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase ycdDAP, proteinases ycdPrA and ycdPrB, and extracellular protease … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of a Putative Functional Region in the Human Bax Protein by Computational AnalysisMaría Sánchez-Aguilar, Laurence A. Marchat, Absalom ZamoranoStructural domains are relevant elements for interactions between Bcl-2 family members to regulate apoptosis and cell survival. Although BH1-BH4 domains can be identified by their sequence and selective occurrence in Bcl-2-family members, structural regions have not been entirely determined yet. The functional residues of Bax, the most representative pro-apoptotic protein of the human Bcl-2 family, remain almost unknown. Here, we … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,235 accessesView PDFCite
