the sources of groundwater pollution such as, industrial effluents, sewage and extensive farming have lead to agrochemical pollution. mathematical modeling helps to analyze the existing situation, allows forecasting, and to evaluate the effects of changes in the surrounding water quality. the present research has been focused mainly towards understanding the various processes affecting the tran...

In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of eustachian tube rehabilitation (ETR) as treatment for otitis media with effusion (OME). Thirty-five children with persistent OME were enrolled. Patients were divided into three groups: group I (isolated OME); group II (OME and atypical swallowing); group II (OME, habitual mouth breathing and atypical swallowing). All children underwent ETR. Otomi...

Trigonostemon reidioides (Kurz) Craib has been traditionally used for the treatment of vomiting and asthma in Cambodia. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of the anti‑inflammatory effect of T. reidioides extract remains unknown. The present study investigated the anti‑inflammatory activity and molecular action of an ethanol extract of T. reidioides (ETR) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑in...

INTRODUCTION In DUET, etravirine (ETR) 200 mg bid had durable efficacy and a favourable safety profile versus placebo, both arms with an optimised background regimen (BR) including darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r). TMC125IFD3002 (VIOLIN; NCT01422330) investigated ETR plus ARVs other than DRV/r. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a 48 week, Phase IV, open-label, single-arm, multicentre study. HIV-1-inf...

We investigated adaptive responses of the photosynthetic electron transport to a decline in the carbon assimilation capacity. Leaves of different ages from wild-type tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) L. var Samsun NN and young mature leaves of tobacco transformants with impaired photoassimilate export were used. The assimilation rate decreased from 280 in young mature wild-type leaves to below 50 mmo...

Etravirine (ETR) is a second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor prescribed for the treatment of HIV-1. By using human liver microsomes (HLMs), cDNA-expressed cytochromes P450 (P450s), and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), the routes of ETR metabolism were defined. Incubations with cDNA-expressed P450 isozymes and chemical inhibition studies using HLMs indicated that CY...

BACKGROUND Predictors of response of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) to lamivudine therapy need better definition. Whether hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes could serve as such a predictor has not been well studied. AIM To study the association of HBV genotypes with the outcome of lamivudine treatment in patients with CHB. METHODS Seventy-six patients with CHB (45 HBeAg +ve) received lamivudine 1...

The light saturated rate of photosystem I-dependent electron transport (ascorbate/dichlorophenol-indophenol --> methyl vilogen in presence of 1 micromolar 3-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,1-dimethyl urea [DCMU]) was increased by a high concentration of DCMU added to broken and uncoupled chloroplasts isolated from pea (Pisum sativum). At 50 micromolar DCMU, the increase was around 50%. No stimulation wa...
