Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioactive Endophytic Actinomycetes of Cinnamomum sp.; Isolation, Identification, Activity Guided Purification and Process Optimization of Active MetaboliteSudipta Roy, Debdulal BanerjeeStudying on endophytic actinomycetes of Cinnamomum sp. from Indian rainforest, Cherapunji, one of our isolated strains designated as CH1 was found to produce significant antibacterial activity against test pathogens (Aeromonas caviae (ATCC 15468), Vibrio parahemolyticus ATCC 1782, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027), Proteus vulgaris (ATCC 12453), Shigella flexnerii (ATCC 12022), Escherichia coli (human sample isolate), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 11774) and Bacillus … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Apr 2015 · 9,062 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE IMPACT OF ANTIOXIDANTS ON INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS MARKERS IN OSTEOARTHRITIS RAT MODEL: SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE INSIGHTSEl Hassan Heidar, FareedF Al Faya, Waleed N. Hassan et al.Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by degradation of matrix and destruction of articular cartilage. Articular chondrocytes are solely responsible for the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix. Therefore, chondrocyte disruption is implicated in cartilage degeneration. Numerous studies have shown that antioxidant treatments are promising therapeutics in cases of OA. This study was designedto examine whether vitamin E protects rat articular … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 19 May 2014 · 7,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractISOLATION AND DETECTION OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI FROM PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM PEPTIC ULCER USING BIOCHEMICAL TESTS AND MOLECULAR TECHNIQUESRuba S. Abu-Sbeih, Azmi D. Hawari, Dhia S. Hassawi, Hala I. Al-DaghistaniHelicobacter pylori is the causative agent of most cases of gastritis. There is no established gold standard for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection. A reliable diagnosis is crucial to confirm that eradication therapy has been successful. Eighty gastric biopsy and blood samples were obtained from fasting Jordanian patients with Esophago-Gastro-Doudenoscopy (EGD). Several diagnosis tests for H. pylori infections were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2014 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSOCIATION OF TESTOSTERONE AND CHOLESTEROL LEVEL IN MODULATION OF IMMUNITY AND SEVERITY OF DISEASE IN VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS PATIENTS-A PRELIMINARY STUDYKrishna Pandey, Dharmendra Singh, Sanjiva Bimal et al.Males are more prone to Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) as compared to females. The role of androgens in host defence against Leishmania and other pathogens is of considerable interest. This study was aimed to understand a baseline mechanistic understanding of the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis with respect to testosterone. We examined the relationship between serum testosterone and cholesterol levels, antigen induced … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYPOLITHIC CYANOBACTERIA COLONIZATION OF QUARTZ AT SOUTH DESERTRoda F. Al-ThaniHypolithic microbial communities (found underneath rocks) were encountered in the southern desert of Qatar where quartz rocks are ubiquitous and are a substrate for hypoliths. These hypoliths thrive where extreme temperature, moisture stress and high light intensity limit the occurrence of higher plants and animal life. A small-scale ecological survey indicated that 80% of the quartz rocks in the area … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPRESUMPTIVE REOVIRUS INFECTION IN BROILER BREEDERSF. A. Moreira, M. L. Pinto, L. Cardoso, A. C. CoelhoTenosynovitis is one of the pathological manifestations of avian reovirus infection and are of economic importance, special in one of the most important stages of the poultry industry, i.e., broiler breeders. In late May 2012, an outbreak of unilateral lameness occurred in a broiler breeder flock (15,000 birds divided by two houses) of a multi-age farm, with a total of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION AND IMMUNOPROTECTIVE ACTIVITY OF CAPSULAR POLYSACCHARIDE OF KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE ISOLATED FROM FARM ANIMALS AT TAIF GOVERNORATEAhmed M.A. Mansour, Hoda M. Zaki, Nibal A. Hassan, Abdulrahman A. Al-HumianyKlebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative enterobacterium that has historically been and currently remains, a significant cause of human disease and several kinds of infections in animals. In the present work, trials for the isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae from diseased and apparently healthy farm animals (cows, sheep, goats and camels) were done for recognition of Klebsiella pneumoniae subspecies. It was noticed … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2014 · 7,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Dietary Whole Rice Hull as Insoluble Fiber on the Flock Uniformity of Pullets and on the Egg Performance and Intestinal Mucosa of Laying HensTossaporn Incharoen, Patchanida ManeechoteOur two experiments were intended to investigate the effects of dietary Whole Rice Hull (WRH) as insoluble fiber on the flock uniformity of pullets and the performance, egg quality and intestinal mucosa structure of laying hens. In experiment 1, a total of 1,500 chicks (4 weeks old) with the same uniform weight were randomly separated into three treatments of 500 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2013 · 8,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvolvement of Bone Marrow Megakaryocytes in the Formation of the Bone Marrow-Blood Barrier in Transgenic MicePawel Laskowski, Karol Ostrowski, Beata Klim et al.Mature cell release takes place through the hypothetical barrier- the bone marrow-blood barrier. It consists of blood vessels and cells that surround them. Such cells are, among others, megakaryocytes. They are involved in the release of platelets or other cellular components of blood. The amount and the development of megakaryocytes and thus the maturity of barrier depends on many factors. … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2013 · 7,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Diatom Stratigraphy of Rawapening Lake, Implying Eutrophication HistoryTri Retnaningsih Soeprobowati, Suwarno Hadisusanto, Peter Gell, Atun ZawadskiProblem statement: The use of diatoms to reconstruct past ecological conditions in lakes is well established. Diatoms are microscopic algae that forms siliceous frustules which allow them to preserve well in sediments. Rawapening Lake is one of 15 Indonesian lakes identified as 2010-2014 National Priority Lakes. Naturally, Rawapening is a tectono-volcanic lake. In the early 1900s, the sole outlet of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 15 Jun 2012 · 7,716 accessesView PDFCite
