Background: Retinopathy is one of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus and is the most common cause of blindness in developed countries between ages 20-70 years old. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of retinopathy and related factors on Iranian population. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study on a population of diabetic patients r...

Photosystem I of higher plants is characterized by red-shifted spectral forms deriving from chlorophyll chromophores. Each of the four Lhca1 to -4 subunits exhibits a specific fluorescence emission spectrum, peaking at 688, 701, 725, and 733 nm, respectively. Recent analysis revealed the role of chlorophyll-chlorophyll interactions of the red forms in Lhca3 and Lhca4, whereas the basis for the ...

Background : Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common congenital craniofacial anomalies treated by plastic surgeons. The incidence of is higher at lower socioeconomic levels. Hospital Social Responsibility (HSR) in Gatot Soebroto Central Army provides free surgeries to those who need it most. HSR services still be evaluated, get an overview epidemiologic profile patients, improve itself. ...

UNLABELLED Metastatic spread of cancer cells to the brain is associated with high mortality, primarily because current diagnostic tools identify only well-advanced metastases. Brain metastases have been shown to induce a robust glial response, including both astrocyte and microglial activation. On the basis of these findings, we hypothesized that this stromal response may provide a sensitive bi...

Tedizolid phosphate (TR-701) is a novel oxazolidinone prodrug (converted to the active form tedizolid [TR-700]) with potent Staphylococcus aureus activity. The current studies characterized and compared the in vivo pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics of TR-701/TR-700 and linezolid against methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in the...

In this study the endothelin (ET) receptors mediating contractions produced by ET-1, ET-3 and the selective ET(B) ligands sarafotoxin 6c (S6c) and BQ-3020 in guinea pig bronchus were investigated using SB 209670, a nonpeptide, mixed ET(A)/ET(B) receptor antagonist, and the peptide ET receptor antagonists BQ-123 (ET(A) receptor-selective), BQ-788 (ET(B) receptor-selective) and RES-701 (ET(B) rec...
