Methods Our study included six patients with acquired infection from central catheter; the microbial pathogens were Streptococcus viridans (n = 3) and Staphyloccocus aureus (n = 3). The diagnosis of IE was based on positive blood culture (2 positive cultures of blood samples drawn > 12 hours), evidence of endocardial involvement (positive ECHO), measuring raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate a...

background and objectives: angiogenesis is essential for tumor survival. inhibiting angiogenesis could be a mechanism for hindering tumor development. numerous studies have now been focused on agiogenesis inhibitors and many of such studies have targeted plant materials. in the present study, crocus pallasii subsp. haussknechtii has been evaluated for anti-angiogenesis properties. methods: anti...

a multiple colorimetric assay has been introduced to evaluate the proliferation and determination of survival fraction (sf) of irradiated cells. the estimation of sf based on the cell‑growth curve information is the major advantage of this assay. in this study, the utility of multiple‑mts assay for the sf estimation of irradiated ht‑29 colon cancer cells, which were plated before irradiation, w...

This study was undertaken to evaluate anticholinesterase activity of some benzimidazole derivatives due to their biological importance. Previously synthesized 14 benzimidazole compounds were used in biological studies. Inhibitory activities of related compounds on Acetylcholine esterase (AChE, E.C.3.1.1.7 from Electric Eel) enzyme have been determined by a modified Ellman’s colorimetric method....

the aim of this study was to evaluate an enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for the detection of anti - helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) specific igg antibodies in specimens of oral fluid. all subjects over the age 18 years undergoing endoscopy for any reason were asked to participate in the study. two groups of 44 patients in each were selected as hp+ and hp-. at the same time, 5 milli...

Acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) is the that catalyzes hydrolysis of neurotransmitter acetylcholine to choline. Inhibitors this (AChE-i) are used treat Alzheimer's, a neurodegenerative disease. Due side effects drugs used, there has been an increased interest in investigating inhibitory potentials natural products which presumed have fewer effects. For purpose, highland honey, chestnut royal ...

"Rheumatoid disease" in its acute or chronic form with systemic or local manifestations may simulate many diseases in general medicine. Local manifestations may resemble many specific arthritides and bony and muscular lesions with secondary joint involvement (Ellman, 1947; Ellman and Ball, 1948), and two cases of a chondro-osseous dystrophy, which had been regarded as an arthritic manifestation...

Alzheimer hastalığı (AH), zamanla beyin hücrelerinin ölümüne bağlı olarak bilişsel işlevlerde azalma, hafıza kaybı ve bunama ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. hastalığının tedavisinde sınırlayıcı uygulamaların mevcut oluşu, hastalığın sağlık harcamalarında kanser kalp hastalıklardan sonra dünyada üçüncü sırada oluşu araştırmacıları AH üzerinde erken evrede tanıma yeni tedavi yöntemlerine yönlendirmekte...
