BACKGROUND Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi or Amrita) is an important drug of Ayurvedic System of Medicine and found mention in various classical texts for the treatment of diseases such as jaundice, fever, diabetes, cancer and skin disease etc. In view of its traditional claims, antioxidant and anti-proliferative activities were evaluated in the present study. METHODS Ethanol extract (TCE) and...

We consider open sets of maps in a manifold M exhibiting non-uniform expanding behaviour in some domain S ⊂ M . Assuming that there is a forward invariant region containing S where each map has a unique SRB measure, we prove that under general uniformity conditions, the SRB measure varies continuously in the L1-norm with the map. As a main application we show that the open class of maps introdu...

The influence of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) on the corrosion behaviors X80 pipeline steel was investigated in a soil environment by electrochemical techniques and surface analysis. It found that SRB grew well acidic further attached to coupon surface, resulting microbiologically influenced (MIC) steel. process significantly affected biofilm surface. Steel inhibited highly bioactive at earl...

A series of tetrandrine derivatives were designed and synthesized using Suzuki coupling reaction. Eleven targeted compounds with over 50% inhibition against HL60 and A549 human cancer cell lines at 10 μM were further evaluated for the in vitro antitumor activities by MTT or SRB assay. The biological results revealed that some compounds exhibited potent antitumor activities. Thiophene derivative...

Euphorbia wallichii a perennial herb growing mainly in Himalayas has been widely used in folk medicines for its medicinal properties. In the present study, the crude methanolic root extract (CME) and its fractions; n-Hexane Fraction (NHF), n-Butanol Fraction (NBF), Chloroform Fraction (CHF), Ethyl acetate Fraction (EAF) and Aqueous Fraction (AQF) of this plant specie were investigated for antio...

The community structure of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) of a marine Arctic sediment (Smeerenburgfjorden, Svalbard) was characterized by both fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and rRNA slot blot hybridization by using group- and genus-specific 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes. The SRB community was dominated by members of the Desulfosarcina-Desulfococcus group. This group acco...

Students with School Refusal Behaviour (SRB) are a diverse group, often associated negative academic repercussions (e.g., low performance, learning difficulties or demotivation). The aims of this research were: 1) to identify school refusal behaviour profiles based on and high scores the four functional conditions assessed by Assessment Scale-Revised (SRAS-R) 2) examine relationship between SRB...

Childhood abuse is relatively prevalent among women and is an important risk factor for both criminal behavior and suicide-related behavior (SRB). Based on a sample of 266 female offenders, we address one theoretical and one practical issue. First, from a theoretical perspective, we assess whether internalizing (depression and anxiety) and externalizing (substance abuse and antisocial behavior)...

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are traditionally considered as strict anaerobic microorganisms. But there are a lot of data up to date about survival and metabolic activity of SRB in biotopes periodically exposed to oxygen. The main factor of O2 toxicity is the action of products of oxygen incomplete reduction, so called the reactive oxygen species (superoxide anion radical, hydrogen peroxide ...
