anti-n-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (anti-nmdar) encephalitis is is most common form ofimmune-mediated encephalitis with prominent neurologic and psychiatric features at disease onset. we describe a 16 years old patient who presented with fever and status epilepticus. his mri sequences was normal. anti-nmdar antibodies were detected in the csf.  mri, ct and other studies didn,t show any tumor.

dopamine (da) is one of the main catecholamines in the brain and is crucial for movement coordination, endocrine function, reward, mood, memory and emotions. the dopaminergic system is the primary therapeutic target in the treatment of parkinson’s disease (pd), drug addiction and schizophrenia. notwithstanding, dysfunction of central dopaminergic neurotransmission has also been associated to de...

interest in hydroxy - carboxylic acid 2 (hca2) receptor has been raised since it is the target of antidyslipidemic drug nicotinic acid. the present study aimed to evaluate the presence of mrna of this receptor in different organs of laboratory rat. twenty two different organs of rats including mesenteric fat, epididymis (head, body and tail), testis, ovary, xiphoid process, liver, adrenal gland...

Human natural killer INK) cells are large granular lymphocytes that constitutively express functional forms of the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) and lyse tumor and virally infected cells without prior sensitization. NK cells with high density expression of CD56 (CD56b'ieh') express the high affinity IL-2R and proliferate in response to low (picomolar) concentrations of IL-2. CD56d'm NK cells e...

Abstract In December 2019, a novel respiratory tract infection, from severe acute syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was detected in China that rapidly spread around the world. This virus possesses spike (S) glycoproteins on surface of mature virions, like other members coronaviridae. The S glycoprotein is crucial viral protein for binding, fusion, and entry into target cells. Binding recepto...

Abstract Nanocomposite has gain great attention in many applications due to its better properties nanoscale. Chitosan-Zeolite-ZnO nanocomposite were prepared via sol-gel method and analysed by molecular docking study predict antiviral activity against SARS CoV-2. The CoV-2 glycoprotein as receptor from RCSB PDB complex ligand of Chitosan-Zeolite ZnO chosen interaction model between receptor. Ac...

in the present study, the effect of gaba (γ-aminobutyric acid) receptor agonists and antagonists on morphine-induced antinociception was investigated in formalin test in rats. intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of different doses of morphine (1, 3, 6 and 9 mg/kg) and intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of different doses of muscimol (0.5, 1 and 2 g/rat) or baclofen (0.25, 0.5 and 1 g/rat) ...
