Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram of Bacteria Isolated from Kunun-Zaki Drink Sold in Keffi MetropolisMakwin Danladi Makut, Mary Azumi Nyam, Smart Obumneme Obiekezie, Aisha Eleojo AbubakarKunun-zaki drink is a locally prepared indigenous non-alcoholic beverage that is widely produced and consumed in Nigeria. Standard microbiological methods were employed to isolate bacteria from Kunun-zaki drink sold in Keffi metropolis, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Samples of Kunun-zaki drink were collected from ten (10) different locations and their bacteriological loads were determined in terms of total bacterial counts using standard … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2013 · 8,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTweaking Exponential Distribution to Estimate the Chance for More Survival Time if a Cancerous Kidney is RemovedRamalingam ShanmugamPatients with a malignant tumor in the kidney (recognized as hypernephroma in medical practice) are treated by what is known as nephrectomy (that is a surgical removal of the kidney) in addition to a combionation of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for the sake of more survival time. This articles develops and demonstrates a statistical methodology to assess the statistical significance of … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2013 · 6,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlant Pectin: A Potential Source for Cancer SuppressionSuryakant K. Niture, Lubna RefaiPectin is a branched polysaccharide present widely in a variety of fruits. It has been of high interest to cancer biologists due to its involvement in metal/carcinogen detoxification and its anti-carcinogenic properties. In particular, Citrus Pectin (CP) and Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) have been shown to have a significant inhibitory role in cancer cell metastasis, invasion, angiogenesis and survival. The … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 18 Apr 2013 · 15,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioassay Guided Isolation of Antibacterial Compounds from Andrographis paniculataAbubakar Sule, Qamar Uddin Ahmed, Othman Abd. Samah et al.Problem statement: Chronic disease-causing bacteria of medical importance have developed resistance to antibiotics, hence, necessitating distinct and constant need for safe and efficient therapeutic agents. Plants are considered potent candidate for this aim. A way out of reducing antibiotic resistance and adverse effects on host is the employment of antibiotic resistance inhibitors of plant origin. Approach: About 5 kg pulverized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 10,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro and In Vivo Anticancer Activity of Bacoside A from Whole Plant of Bacopa Monnieiri (Linn)N. S. Prakash, R. Sundaram, S. K. MitraProblem statement: Natural products have long been a fertile source of cure for cancer, which is projected to become the major cause of death in this century. Major classes of anticancer compounds include alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids and lignans. We have chosen terpenoids (bacosides) because terpenoids like taxol are currently being used in cancer chemotherapy. The anticancer activity of Bacoside A … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 7 Jun 2011 · 9,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Phyllanthus taxodiifolius Beille Extracts and its Triterpenoids Studying on Cellular Energetic Stage of Cancer CellsPatiwat Sakkrom, Wilart Pompimon, Puttinan Meepowpan et al.Problem statement: The Multidrug Resistance phenomenon (MDR) is the cause of unsuccessful in cancer chemotherapy. The tradition plant is the population used as the alternative medicine in cancer therapy. Due to, P. taxodiifolius is medicinal Thai plant which is used as diuretic drug which has never been explored as the anticancer activities. Approach: Air-dried powder of P. taxodiifolius leaves and … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractP-Glycoprotein-Mediated Efflux and Drug Sequestration in Lysosomes Confer Advantages of K562 Multidrug Resistance Sublines to Survive Prolonged Exposure to Cytotoxic AgentsNathupakorn Dechsupa, Samlee MankhetkornProblem statement: Cellular drug resistance to anticancer agents is major obstacle in cancer chemotherapy and the mechanisms by which these MDR cells possess for protecting themselves to survive prolonged exposure to cytotoxic agents still debating. The study aimed to clarify the role of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and enhanced drug sequestration in lysosomes to confer the multidrug resistance K562 cells with varied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,504 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiatrizoate, Iopromide and Iotrolan Enhanced Cytotoxicity of Daunorubicin in Multidrug Resistant K562/adr Cells: Impaired the Mitochondrial and Inhibited the P-Glycoprotein FunctionNitaya Snitwongse Na Ayudhya, Samlee MankhetkornMultidrug resistance was an obstacle in cancer chemotherapy because the cells decreased their intracellular drug accumulation by energy-dependent compounds efflux pumps such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp). This study observed some iodinated radiographic contrast media, diatrizoate, iopromide and iotrolan affected the cellular energetic state and the kinetics of P-gp in drug-sensitive K562 and drug resistant K562/adr cell lines using spectrophotometer and spectrofluorometer. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Optimized Medium for Screening of L-Asparaginase production by Escherichia coliYounes Ghasemi, Alireza Ebrahiminezhad, Sara Rasoul-Amini et al.Purified L-asparaginase II from Escherichia coli has been supplied and employed in the acute leukemia and other malignant neoplasms chemotherapy. L-asparaginase II gene (ansB) in E. coli is under regulation and certain conditions is needed for expression of this gene. In this investigation ,the various concentrations of modified M9 medium ingredients and various carbon source were tested to optimize the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple Pulmonary and Multivesicular Interatrial Septum Hydatid Cysts in A Native Italian PatientA. Romano, S. Giordano, F. Follis et al.Multivesicular, pulmonary and cardiac hydatidosis are rarely observed and can give rise to serious complications. Cysts can remain asymptomatic for a long time, until they reveal themselves perforating into cardiac chambers and/or pulmonary arteries or the systemic circulation. A rare case of multivesicular interatrial septum hydatid cyst with multiple pulmonary involvement in a native Italian farm labourer is reported. Clinical, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
