Activity of Tigecycline in Combination with Colistin, Meropenem, Rifampin, or Gentamicin against KPC-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Murine Thigh Infection Model
(2013)Limited antimicrobials remain active for treating severe infections due to KPC-producing pathogens, and optimal regimens have not been established. In murine thigh infections caused by nine KPC-producing clinical strains ... -
Association of soybean-based extenders with field fertility of stored ram (Ovis aries) semen: A randomized double-blind parallel group design
(2013)Two consecutive randomized double-blind field fertility experiments were conducted over a 4-month period and aimed at evaluating the association of two commercial soybean lecithin-based extenders (AndroMed [Minitub, ... -
Chios Mastic Gum: A Plant-produced Resin Exhibiting Numerous Diverse Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Properties
(2012)Chios mastic gum (CMG) is a resin produced by the plant Pistacia lentiscus var. chia. CMG is used to extract the mastic gum essential oil (MGO). CMG and MGO consist of nearly 70 constituents and have demonstrated numerous ... -
Dissipation of pure and broccoli-released glucosinolates in soil under high and low moisture content
(2013)Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary metabolites found in Brassica species. Upon tissue disruption GSLs are hydrolyzed by myrosinase enzymes to isothiocyanates (ITCs) which are highly toxic to microbes. Therefore the ... -
Electrostatic modeling of peptides derived from the V3-loop of HIV-1 gp120: Implications of the interaction with chemokine receptor CCR5
(2007)Infection of CD4(+) T cells by macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains involves interaction of viral gp 120 with the host cell chemokine receptor CCR5. The principle neutralizing determinant (PND) of the V3-loop of the HIV-1 gp120 ... -
FCGR polymorphisms in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with Fc-containing TNF inhibitors
(2015)Objectives: Reproducible association of a functional polymorphism in FCGR2A with response to a TNF inhibitor (TNFi) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) led us to explore other Fc gamma R functional polymorphisms. ... -
Genetic correction of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease with novel foamy virus vectors
(2011)Objective. The X-linked form of chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) results from mutations in the CYBB gene encoding gp91(phox), the larger subunit of the oxidase flavocytochrome b(558). Affected individuals suffer from ... -
Medicinal plants for helminth parasite control: facts and fiction
(2007)The use of medicinal plants for the prevention and treatment of gastro-intestinal parasitism has its origin in ethnoveterinaty medicine. Although until recently the majority of the evidence on the antiparasitic activity ... -
The Role of Hepcidin in Iron Homeostasis and Anemia in Hemodialysis Patients
(2009)Anemia is a common complication in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Despite the great success of recombinant human erythropoietin in clinical practice, resistance to this therapy is common. Additionally, nephrologists frequently ... -
Suppression of soil-borne pathogens of tomato by composts derived from agro-industrial wastes abundant in Mediterranean regions
(2008)We studied nine composts derived from wastes and by-products of the olive oil, wine, and Agaricus mushroom agro-industries. They were mixed with peat at 1:3 w w (-1) ratios and comparatively evaluated in pot experiments ... -
Synergy of leptin/STAT3 with HER2 receptor induces tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer cells through regulation of apoptosis-related genes
(2015)Tamoxifen is a major treatment modality for estrogen receptor positive breast cancer, but the occurrence of resistance remains a problem. Recently, obesity-related leptin has been found to interfere with tamoxifen in breast ... -
Synthesis of 4,6-dideoxy-3-fluoro-2-keto-beta-D-glucopyranosyl analogues of 5-fluorouracil, N-6-benzoyl adenine, uracil, thymine, N-4-benzoyl cytosine and evaluation of their antitumor activities
(2010)The synthesis of the unsaturated 4,6-dideoxy-3-fluoro-2-keto-beta-D-glucopyranosyl nucleosides of 5-fluorouracil (6a), N-6-benzoyl adenine (6b), uracil (6c), thymine (6d) and N-4-benzoyl cytosine (6e), is described. ... -
