AIMS This study looks to assess the oral health status in the study subjects and to quantify the prevalence of WHO defined HIV-related oral stage 3 and 4 lesions (HIV-OL) as those conditions are indicating need for treatment independently of CD4 count. METHODS This quantitative screening study used both structured questionnaire and clinical examination to determine the prevalence of HIV-OL in...

We identified a novel neuroprotective compound, 1-methoxyoctadecan-1-ol, from Uncaria sinensis (Oliv.) Havil and investigated its effects and mechanisms in primary cortical neurons and in a photothrombotic ischemic model. In primary rat cortical neurons against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity, pretreatment with 1-methoxyoctadecan-1-ol resulted in significantly reduced neuronal death in a dose-d...

The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of vervain (Verbena officinalis L.) cultivated locally were investigated. Analysis of the volatile fraction by GC and GC-MS is described. Compounds were identified by various methods, the major compounds being 3-hexen-1-ol (7.28%), 1-octen-3-ol (32.76%), linalool (4.66%), verbenone (20.49%) and geranial (7.22%).

The response of the two most abundant cockchafer species in central Europe, Melolontha hippocastani and M. melolontha, towards phenol, mixtures of phenol with the leaf alcohol (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol and the known cockchafer pheromones, 1,4-benzoquinone (M. hippocastani) and toluquinone (M. melolontha), was investigated in the field. During the swarming period at dusk, phenol attracted males of both s...

To elucidate whether any relationship exists between ovarian blood flow and ovulation rate, the effects on these parameters were examined in equine chorionic gonadotrophin/human chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG/HCG) (15I U/15I U) primed rats after bilateral ligation and severance of either the ovarian branch of the uterine artery and vein (UL), the ovarian artery and vein (OL) or both sites (UL+OL)...

A new farnane-type pentacyclic triterpene, farnan-2-one-3 beta-ol (mimusopfarnanol), was isolated from the stem bark of Mimusops elengi L. along with the known triterpenoids, farnan-3-one, olean-18-en-2-one-3-ol and lup-20 (29)-en-3 beta-ol and their structures have been characterized on the basis of spectral data analyses and chemical reactions.

To examine the possible age-related blood pressure (BP) deregulation in response to central hypervolemia, we measured spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (SBRS), carotid arterial compliance (CC), and R-R interval coefficient of variation (RRICV) during basal and thermoneutral resting head-out-of-water immersion (HOWI) in 7 young (YG = 24.0 +/- 0.8 years) and 6 middle-aged/older (OL = 59.3 +/- 1....

1. The metabolism of [4-(14)C]pregnenolone to androst-16-enes has been studied in short-term incubations of boar testis tissue. With fresh tissue androsta-5,16-dien-3beta-ol (8%) and 5alpha-androst-16-en-3beta-ol (2%) were formed. Tissue that had been stored at -20 degrees C was still capable of metabolizing pregnenolone to androsta-5,16-dien-3beta-ol. 2. NADPH was essential for the formation o...
