OBJECTIVES To compare plasma antiretroviral concentrations in HIV-HCV co-infected and in matched HIV mono-infected patients. METHODS This was a cross-sectional, observational study. Antiretroviral trough concentrations (C(min)) in plasma were measured in HIV-HCV co-infected patients with liver disease documented by liver biopsy, matched with HIV mono-infected patients according to gender and ...

Hempseed meal after protein isolation (HM-PI) is a co-product obtained from hempseed. The objectives were to characterize and determine the effect of drying on HM-PI. HM-PI was produced using three methods: freeze (FD), vacuum oven (VOD), (OD). contained over 70% had similar or higher level essential amino acids than recommended values for human adults. Osborne fractionation indicated that glut...

We have carried out a large number of studies using AOARD grant. We have acknowledged AOARD on all these publications related to the project, which is listed below. Here, we give abstract of all the works carried out under this grant. We have used first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations for a systematic study on the structural stability, electronic, magnetic and transport ...

The protein kinase B/Akt serine/threonine kinase, located downstream of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K), is a major regulator of cellular survival and proliferation. Atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) family members are activated by PI-3K and also contribute to cell proliferation, suggesting that Akt and aPKC might interact to activate signalling through the PI-3K cascade. Here we demonstrate t...

In this experiment, the correlation between antigenemia and specific antibody responses in Toxoplasma gondii-infected rabbits was assessed. We injected 1,000 T. gondii tachyzoites (RH) subcutaneously into 5 rabbits. Parasitemia, circulating antigens, and IgM and IgG antibody titers in blood were tested by ELISA and immunoblot. For detection of parasitemia, mice were injected with blood from rab...

Received Jan 9, 2018 Revised Mar 2, 2018 Accepted Mar 18, 2018 Because of rising dependency on fossil fuels, and rising amounts of toxic gases in the environment, it found that people are in need of a way to ensure the safety specifically those that live in cities. An approach is suggested in this paper, that is economical yet affords good detection, and can give accurate readings that can be a...

The dynamics of iron tetracarbonyl olefin complexes has been investigated using two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectroscopy. Cross peaks between all CO-stretching bands show that the CO-stretch modes are coupled, and from the cross-peak anisotropies we can confirm previous assignments of the absorption bands. From the pump-probe delay dependence of the diagonal peaks in the 2D-IR spectrum we ...

In article 2200168, Feng Liu, Yongming Zhang, and co-workers show that Y6 is a banana shaped molecule can form strong intermolecular packing, which manipulated by surface charge under restrained sizes, yielding new pi-pi stacking fast exciton quenching. The temperature of the tumor area rise to more than 70 degrees NIR irradiation, effectively ablate tumor. developed strategy identifies avenue ...
