coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death and disability in adults. the association between acute coronary syndrom (acs) and elevated serum high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp) suggests that chronic inflammation of the coronary arterial wall may play an important role. a number of drugs used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease reduce serum crp. it* is therefore possible...

gliobalstoma multiforme (gbm) or grade 4 astrocytoma is the most malignant form of primary brain tumor. treatment of glioblastoma is difficult despite of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. patients with glioblastoma survive for less than 12 months. considering to biology function of glioblastoma, researchers have recently offered new therapeutic approaches such as cannabinoid therapy for g...

the urgent need of neuraminidase inhibitors (ni) has provided an impetus for understanding the structure requisite at molecular level. our search for selective inhibitors of neuraminidase has led to the identification of pharmacophoric requirements at various positions around acyl thiourea pharmacophore. the main objective of present study is to develop selective ni, with least toxicity and dru...

An efficient and rapid affinity-based screening method for directly fishing out natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitors from Cyperus. rotundus extract by using immobilized enzyme technology combined with UHPLC-QTOF MS analysis was established. As a results, without time-consuming and laborious isolation workload and false positive interference, five natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitors were succes...

The organic deposition particularly asphaltenes has many detrimental effects on the oil industries, such as plugging in pipelines, wellbore and facilities and subsequently, considerable reduction in well productivity.Asphaltenes are the most polar fractions, which they have been dispersed as colloidal clusters in crude oil. The accumulation of these clusters lead to the flocculation of colloids...

evidence acquisition the fifty two significant articles discussing the stem cell in chronic myeloid leukemia from 1996 to 2012 were selected according to the authors’ experience. results studies have shown that primitive cml cells are less responsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tkis) and are a reservoir for the relapse of multi drug resistant (mdr). conclusions following that, minimal residu...

background: premature ejaculation (pe) is the most common sexual disorder in men and studies reported prevalence up to 30% (1, 2). pe is not a life-threatening medical condition but it influences the quality of life (qol). objectives the aim of this study was to compare the efficiency, and safety of alpha blocker drugs in the treatment of patients with premature ejaculation (pe). additionally w...

objectives: nitric oxide (no) is a signaling molecule that mediates mechanical bone loading. cyclic guanosine 3', 5' monophosphate (cgmp) is a no-induced effector molecule. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of no-cgmp pathway on orthodontic tooth movement (otm) in rats by use of two phosphodiesterase 5 (pde5) inhibitors namely sildenafil and tadalafil as chemical tools. materials a...
