Recovery from N-hydroxyurethan-induced death.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bacteria (Escherichia coli) can recover from the lethal action of N-hydroxyurethan when they are incubated in drug-free liquid medium. This recovery, which is dependent upon energy metabolism, does not occur on solid medium. Recovery is accompanied by repair of the cellular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). A bacterial mutant deficient in DNA polymerase was extremely sensitive to the lethal action of hydroxyurethan. Data are presented which support the concept that DNA replication and DNA repair are mediated by different enzymes and that only the former process is inhibited by hydroxyurea.

Neuroprotective effect of Nigella sativa hydro alcoholic extract on serum/glucose deprivation induced PC12 cells death
Introduction: The Serum/Glucose deprivation -induced cell death in cultured PC12 cells represents a useful in vitro model for the study of brain ischemia and neurodegenerative disorders. Nigella sativa L. has been known as a source of antioxidants. To elucidate the neuroprotective actions of N. sativa extract in vitro, we studied the effect of N. sativa extract on cultured PC12 cells under s...
متن کاملProtective role of vitamin C on spatial memory and oxidative stress alteration during paraquat-induced toxicity in male rats
Paraquat (PQ), is one of the most widely used herbicides all over the world. PQ could induce dopaminergic cell death. Since dopamine involves in memory processing, we investigated the recovery effect of vitamin C on spatial memory along with oxidative stress parameters during PQ induced neurotoxicity in male rats. Rats were divided into five groups (n= 7): control (saline 0.9%), PQ (2.67 and 5 ...

Introduction Acute neurological diseases such as stroke and head trauma lead to neuronal death. To a large measure, neuronal death is triggered by excitotoxicity, a term that denotes the killing of neurons by glutamate-triggered influx of Ca into neurons, mainly by NMDA receptors, prominent molecular machines in excitatory synapses, which are designed for high Ca permeability and are activated ...

Background: In this study, with the aim of modeling Leukemia in children using Phase-type distribution, three transitional phases including diagnosis, brain metastasis and testis/ovary metastasis, and one absorotion phase of recovery/death have been considered. The distribution was fitted and the probabilities of death or recovery were determined based on the independent variab...
متن کاملInduced tissue cell death by magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia for cancer treatment: an in silico study
In this paper, we simulate magnetic hyperthermia process on a mathematical phantom model representing cancer tumor and its surrounding healthy tissues. The temperature distribution throughout the phantom model is obtained by solving the bio-heat equations and the consequent cell death amount is calculated using correlations between the tissue local temperature and the cell death rate. To have a...
