Douye V. ZigeCorresponding author

The concern over exposure to drinking water contaminated and the resultant adverse effect on human health has prompted several studies evaluating the quality of drinking water sources. This study was carried out to determine the bacteriological and Physico-chemical qualities of commercial borehole w…

Lipopolysaccharide Prompts Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Rats’ Testicular Tissue

Mar 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2575-1212.jvhc-18-2013
Amal A HalawaCorresponding author

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a component of the outer membrane of gram negative bacteria. LPS challenging allows switching transcription of proinflammatory cytokines on via over stimulation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) signaling pathway with subsequent pathogenic inflammatory response. We investigat…

Molecular Spectroscopy and Molecular Docking Studies on (E)-1-(4-Bromobenzylidene) Thiourea

Feb 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2377-2549.jndc-18-1933
Bharanidharan S.Corresponding author Department of Physics, Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research, Bharath University, Chennai-600 073, India

The organic molecule (E)-1-(4-bromobenzylidene)thiourea (BBTU) have been synthesized and characterized using FT-IR and FT-Raman spectral studies. The quantum chemical calculations of BBTU have been studied using DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. The stable conformer is identified by the potentia…

Benzoate Concentration and Cooperativity by a Substrate for Benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase from Benzoate-Degrading Rhodococcus Opacus 1CP

Dec 2017 DOI 10.14302/issn.2576-6694.jbbs-17-1860
Inna P. SolyanikovaCorresponding author

We explored the effect of a change in substrate-benzoate (as sole carbon and energy source) concentration in growth medium on the activity of benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase (BDO) of R.opacus 1CP cells, where BDO is the enzyme mediated the initial attack of benzoate. The activity of the enzyme was estimate…

Efthimios DeligeoroglouCorresponding author

Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the correlation between the degree (percentage) of occlusion due to labial adhesions and vulvovaginitis. Materials and Methods: Prospective study of pre-pubertal females who attended our Division, during the past 7 years, due to labial fusion. Medical h…

Synthesis of Labeled Rifabutin Dithiocarbamate: A Potential Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Imaging Agent

Mar 2017 DOI 10.14302/issn.2572-5424.jgm-16-1352
Syed Qaiser ShahCorresponding author

In this investigation, Rifabutin dithiocarbamate (RFND) was labeled with Technetium-99m (99mTc) using tricarbonyl technique. The labeled RFND was further characterized in terms of radiochemical purity, stability in saline & serum, in vitro bacterial binding, biodistribution in animal model rats and…

A Successful Vancomycin Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant MRSA-Associated Canine Pyoderma

Oct 2016 DOI 10.14302/issn.2471-2175.jdrt-16-1296
Luisa De MartinoCorresponding author

Case Report This report describes a case of diffuse pyoderma in a 10-year-old female dog with hypothyroidism. A previous treatment, without an early diagnosis, including cephalosporin associated with prednisolon resulted to be unsuccessfully. After clinical and microbiological examination in our lab…

An understanding of healthcare utilization patterns is important for optimization of care and resource allocation. We examined the…

Eukaryotic Signature Proteins

Dec 2012 DOI 10.14302/issn.2326-0793.jpgr-12-101
Jian HanCorresponding author

Eukaryotic Signature Proteins (ESPs) are proteins that delineate the eukaryotes from the archaea and bacteria. They have no recognisable homologues in any prokaryotic genome, but their homologues are present in all main branches of eukaryotes. ESPs are thus likely to have descended from ancient prot…
