N-substituted Pyrrole-based Scaffolds as Potential Anticancer and Antiviral Lead Structures
(2015)Undoubtedly, efficient cancer treatment has been a significant challenge for the scientific community over the last decades. Despite tremendous progress made towards this direction, there are still efforts needed to discover ... -
Nano-TiO2 particles impair adhesion of airway epithelial cells to fibronectin
(2013)Titanium dioxide engineered nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) are widely used in the manufacturing of a number of products. Due to their size (<100 nm), when inhaled they may be deposited in the distal lung regions and damage Clara ... -
Nanocrystalline growth and diagnostics of TiC and TiB2 hard coatings by pulsed laser deposition
(1999)Nanocrystalline coatings of TiC and TiB2 were grown by pulsed laser deposition on Si(100) and on X155 steel at low substrate temperatures ranging from 40 degrees C to 650 degrees C. A pulsed KrF excimer laser was used with ... -
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment reduces systemic oxidative stress in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2009)Objective: To evaluate whether nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) reduces oxidative stress in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. Materials and methods: Forty-six patients with severe ... -
Nasal corticosteroids for children with snoring
(2004)Nasal corticosteroids improve polysomnography indices but not symptoms in children with mild to moderate sleep-disordered breathing. We hypothesized that administration of nasal corticosteroids for 4 weeks to snoring ... -
Nasal lymphatics as a novel invasion and dissemination route of bacterial meningitis
(2009)Bacterial meningitis constitutes an infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality, characterized by complex pathophysiology. Neisseria meningitis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b and other ... -
National culture and eco-efficiency: An application of conditional partial nonparametric frontiers
(2013)Given that norms govern individual behaviour, which in turn are related to the environmental behaviour, this study provides empirical evidence of the link between human behaviour and the environment. Firstly with the use ... -
National physical education curriculum: motor and cardiovascular health related fitness in Greek adolescents
(2003)Background: State school physical education (PE) programmes are common throughout Greece. However, it is not known if the main objectives of the Greek PE curriculum are achieved. Objective: To assess the current national ... -
National priorities and environmental protection: The social construction of this relation by the newspapers
(2009)In this paper, we study a national importance on Greece political action with intervention in the environment, (construction of part of Olympic Games project in the wetland of Shinias, in Athens, for the Olympic Games ... -
Natural agents against neutrophil involvement in H.Pylori induced chronic gastritis
(2010)Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the widely spread human infections and the major risk for peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer and cause for chronic gastric inflammation. The major virulence factors in the ... -
Natural convection in a 2D enclosure with sinusoidal upper wall temperature
(2002)Natural convection in a two-dimensional, rectangular enclosure with sinusoidal temperature profile on the upper wall and adiabatic conditions on the bottom and sidewalls is numerically investigated. The applied sinusoidal ... -
Natural convection in rectangular tanks heated locally from below
(2004)The present study was undertaken in order to gain understanding of certain aspects of natural convection in a glass-melting tank heated locally from below. Based on numerical predictions, the effects of Rayleigh number, ... -
Natural convection of liquid metal in a vertical annulus with lateral and volumetric heating in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field
(2011)MHD free convection of a liquid metal is studied in a closed vertical annulus in which the upper and bottom walls are adiabatic while the cylindrical walls are kept at different temperatures. The flow is driven by two ... -
Natural flavonoids as antidiabetic agents. The binding of gallic and ellagic acids to glycogen phosphorylase b
(2015)We present a study on the binding of gallic acid and its dimer ellagic acid to glycogen phosphorylase (GP). Ellagic acid is a potent inhibitor with K(i)s of 13.4 and 7.5 mu M, in contrast to gallic acid which displays K(i)s ... -
Natural products and their derivatives as inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase: potential treatment for type 2 diabetes
(2014)Glycogen phosphorylase (GP) (EC 2.4.1.1) is an important therapeutic target for the potential treatment of type 2 diabetes. The search for potent, selective and drug-like GP inhibitors which may eventually lead to hypoglycaemic ... -
Natural products-friends or foes?
(2015)A trend in the general population has been observed in recent years regarding the orientation toward preventive measures in health; in this context the increased interest from the users and researchers concerning the active ...
