Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosorption of Textile Dye Using Immobilized Bacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Fungal (Phanerochate chrysosporium) CellsNatarajan Saravanan, Tiruvenkadam Kannadasan, Chiya Ahmed Basha, Veerasamy ManivasaganWastewater containing dyes presents a serious problem due to its high toxicity which leads to creating enormous environmental pollution and ecological hazards. Therefore the removal of the high stable dyes from the textile effluents is of major importance. The purpose of this study is to remove the reactive dye Procion Blue 2G from textile dye solution by biosorption process using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 16 Sep 2013 · 7,358 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of Malaria ControlEmmanuel Chanda, Mulakwa Kamuliwo, Richard W. Steketee et al.Malaria remains a serious global public health problem and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in sub Saharan Africa. In Zambia the disease is endemic with stable transmission, accounting for 40% of all out-patient attendances and is responsible for 20% deaths among children under five. Scaling up of scientifically proven high impact preventive, curative and supportive interventions and deploying … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Apr 2013 · 7,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntidepressant-Like Effects of Selected Crude Extracts of Pilea microphylla in Mice Model of DepressionAmir Modaressi Chahardehi, Darah Ibrahim, Fabrid Aboulhasani, Shaida Fariza SulaimanThe present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of selected crude extracts namely, Methanol (ME I), Chloroform Extract (CE II) and Ethyl Acetate (EAE II) extracts of Pilea microphylla on depression in mice. In the present study, the antidepressant effect of P. microphylla was examined due to its rich flavonoid contents in the Urticaceae family using two behavioral models, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2013 · 7,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTargeting Cellular Receptors as a Strategy for the Development of New Generation Mucosal VaccinesConstantine Bitsaktsis, Kari Wiedinger, Edmund Joseph GosselinMucosal pathogens are a primary source of infection that require the development of vaccines to induce a specific, protective and long lasting immune response. Despite an urgent need, development of effective mucosal immunization strategies has proven difficult. The literature was reviewed to elucidate cell specific targets that may be utilized to increase the immunogenicity of protective antigens through mucosal vaccination. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 2 Feb 2013 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegulation of Retinol Binding Protein 4 Expression and its Relation to Adipogenesis in Bovine AdipocytesMabrouk Ragab EL-Sabagh, Abd Eldaim Mabrouk AttiaAdipogenesis is of great importance in beef cattle. Recent findings indicate that glucose, a substrate for fatty acid biosynthesis and retinoic acid enhance adipogenesis in bovine intramuscular adipocytes. However, other recent findings indicate that Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) interferes with glucose uptake and utilization by rodents’ adipocytes. In this study we examined the regulation of RBP4 expression and its relation … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,404 accessesView PDFCite
