Background. Statins are the recently evolved agents that aid in periodontal regeneration and ultimately in attaining periodontal health. Atorvastatin (ATV) and Simvastatin (SMV) are specific competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase. The current study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of 1.2% ATV and 1.2% SMV, in addition to scaling and root planing (SR...

abstract: background: statins are the recently evolved agents that aid in periodontal regeneration and ultimately attaining periodontal health. atorvastatin (atv) and simvastatin (smv) are specific competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme a reductase. the present study was designed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of 1.2% atv, and 1.2% smv as an adjunct to scaling...

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is one of the most devastating pathogens that cost huge economic losses in soybean production worldwide. Due to the duplicated genome, clustered and highly homologous nature of R genes, as well as recalcitrant to transformation, soybean disease resistance studies is largely lagging compared with other diploid crops. In this review, we focus on the major advances that ...

Resistance to Soybean mosaic virus (SMV; Genus Potyvirus; Family Potyviridae) is controlled by single dominant genes at three distinct loci, Rsv1, Rsv3 and Rsv4, in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). SMV isolates are classified into pathotypes G1 through G7 based on the differential reactions on resistant soybean cultivars. Most SMV isolated in the USA is of the G1 to G3 pathotypes. Since the cu...

Infection of soybean plants with Soybean mosaic virus (SMV), which is transmitted by aphids and through seed, can cause significant reductions in seed production and quality. Because seedborne infections are the primary sources of inoculum for SMV infections in North America, host-plant resistance to seed transmission can limit the pool of plants that can serve as sources of inoculum. To examin...

Background.  The pre-existence of minority hepatitis C virus (HCV) variants and their impact on treatment outcome, as well as the persistence of emerging resistant variants posttreatment in patients failing treatment with simeprevir/peginterferon/ribavirin (SMV/PR), were assessed by deep sequencing (DS). Methods.  Population sequencing (PS) and Illumina DS were performed on HCV genotype 1 isola...

Susceptibility to inoculation with Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and virus activity were investigated in soybean callus cultures growing in vitro. Excised hypocotyls of susceptible soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr. ‘Essex’, were cultured in Msoy medium in the light at 25 °C. Established calluses were inoculated with SMV in vitro by a soak–prick method. In addition, SMV-infected leaves of soybean ‘Le...

Superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis caused by acute appendicitis is a very rare entity nowadays. We report a successfully treated case of a 21-year-old man with SMV thrombosis associated with severe acute appendicitis. Intravenous heparin was administered, and it was later substituted with warfarin. Systemic antibiotic therapy was continued for 1 week, and it was substituted with oral ant...

A simple and accurate method of analysis to determine Sitagliptin Phosphate (STG) and Simvastatin(SMV) in combined dosage forms was developed using simultaneous equation method at 267.0nm for Simvastatin and 238.0 nm for Simvastatin in spectra of their solutions in methanol: water(90:10). The calibration curves were linear [correlation coefficient (r) = 0.986 for STG and 0.998 for SMV] in conce...

Double inoculation of soybean with Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), a member of the Genus Comovirus, Family Comoviridae, isolates V-S98-1 and V-S98-15, together with Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) a member of the Genus Potyvirus, Family Potyviridae) isolates 2K-38, S98-51 and S98-52, was compared to single inoculation with each of the isolates, on Hutcheson, Hutcheson Roundup Ready® (RR BC3) and Hutch...
