Previous experimental and theoretical studies have produced high-resolution descriptions of the native and folding transition states of chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2). In similar fashion, here we use a combination of NMR experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to examine the conformations populated by CI2 in the denatured state. The denatured state is highly unfolded, but there is some r...

A patient with apparent X-linked agammaglobulinaemia was found to be inordinately susceptible to anaphylactoid reactions to intramuscular injections of gammaglobulin. The patient was found also to have low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1 INH). The possibility that the C1 INH deficiency and in this patient, whether genetic or acquired, fostered the susceptibility to the production of anaphyl...

objective(s):this study was carried out to investigate the effects of cox-2 selective inhibitor (celecoxib) or non-selective cox inhibitor (ibuprofen) on gastrointestinal motility. materials and methods: the rats were randomly divided into five groups including: intact, sham, traumatic brain injury (tbi) group (intact rats under tbi), celecoxib group (10 mg/kg), ibuprofen group (10 mg/kg). rats...

  Uncontrolled recurrent hemarthrosis can end to contracture, deformity, pain, joint destruction and gait disorders which are disabling. We are going to report a challenge, a unilateral knee flexion contracture in a child with severe hemophilia A and inhibitor who underwent different treatment options with unsatisfactory improvement of knee range of motion. Mismanaging postoperatively, patient ...

A quantum chemical study of the corrosion inhibition properties of some organic inhibitormolecules, pyridine, 2-picoline, 3-picoline, 4-picoline, 2, 4-lutidine at the aluminum surface inhydrochloric acid (HCl) was carried out. The models of the inhibitors adsorption on the Al-surfacewere optimized with the HF and B3LYP level using the 6-31G and LANL2DZ basis sets fromthe program package Gaussia...

Background: Leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) is a very important pleiotropic cytokine which belongs to interleukin-6 (IL-6) family. LIF exerts multiple effects on different types of cells and tissues with numerous regulatory effects in vivo and in vitro. It is a lymphoid factor, which performs a number of activities including cholinergic neuron differentia‌tion, contro...

The Janus kinase inhibitor upadacitinib is a potential treatment for psoriatic arthritis. efficacy and safety of as compared with adalimumab, tumor necrosis factor α inhibitor, in patients who have an inadequate response to nonbiologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs are unclear.

This paper studies the corrosion inhibition of Al-Mg alloy system in 0.5 mol/dm3 NaCl solution in the presence of pyrazole derivative using potentiodynamic polarization and linear polarization method. The inhibition efficiency as a function of concentration and temperature was investigated. From the polarization curves, it can be concluded that the pyrazole derivative be...

Objective(s): Apelin/APJ system plays an important role in the regulation of myocardial contractility (MC) and blood pressure. Opioid receptors (OPRs) are also important cardiovascular regulators and exert many of their effects through modulating the function of other systems. This study analyzed the interaction between APJ and kappa OPRs (KOR) in cardiac responsiveness to apelin in acute reno-...
