Known for their role in the manufacture of eco-materials buildings, Parkia biglobosa fruit husks are also used folk medicine. The present study focuses on metabolites content and antiradical, antibacterial activities hydroethanolic extract P. husks. Secondary were identified using staining and/or precipitation tests. mineral is determined according to standard NF EN 14082. antioxidant activity ...

Nebivolol is a 1-receptor antagonist with vasodilator and antioxidant properties. Because the vascular NADPH oxidase is an important superoxide source, we studied the effect of nebivolol on endothelial function and NADPH oxidase activity and expression in the well-characterized model of angiotensin II–induced hypertension. Angiotensin II infusion (1 mg/kg per day for 7 days) caused endothelial ...

Nebivolol is a beta(1)-receptor antagonist with vasodilator and antioxidant properties. Because the vascular NADPH oxidase is an important superoxide source, we studied the effect of nebivolol on endothelial function and NADPH oxidase activity and expression in the well-characterized model of angiotensin II-induced hypertension. Angiotensin II infusion (1 mg/kg per day for 7 days) caused endoth...

Gram stains were performed on strains of Actinomyces bovis, Actinomyces viscosus, Arthrobacter globiformis, Bacillus brevis, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Clostridium tetani, Clostridium thermosaccharolyticum, Corynebacterium parvum, Mycobacterium phlei, and Propionibacterium acnes, using a modified Gram regimen that allowed the staining process to be observed by electron microscopy (J. A. Davies,...

During the years 2007 and 2008, samples of winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) with symptoms of galls on shoots were collected from Shiraz, Fars province, Iran. Gram and oxidase negative, aerobic bacterium that produced fluorescent pigment on Kingۥs B medium was isolated from galls of infected trees. All isolates produced a hypersensitive reaction in tobacco. They were negative in arginine dih...

Bacteria are fundamentally divided into two groups, Gram-positive and -negative, based on the chemical and physical properties of their cell walls. The classic Gram stain reaction permits the useful distinction between Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Gram staining results largely affect the initial classifi cation of an unknown bacterium and the selection of follow-up identifi cation proc...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is rare in Japan. We encountered a CF case with drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection and successfully performed lung transplant from living related donors. A combination of beta-lactams and aminoglycosides for drug-resistant P. aeruginosa infection was administered before lung transplantation. Intravenous colistin was also used immediately before and after transp...

In this study, the metabolic activity of rat retinal ganglion cells during postnatal development has been examined in vivo using cytochrome oxidase histochemistry. The intensity of staining was measured by optical densitometry. The activity of cytochrome oxidase in retinal ganglion cells progressively increased from postnatal day 0 (P0) and reached a peak during the second week of postnatal dev...

Cultivar of roses (Rosa spp.) has been grown in greenhouses in Qazvin region of Iran for local markets. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains were isolated and identified from six different samples of roses plants imported from the Netherland to Iran. During August and September of 2012, nearly 2-5% of rose plants in two different greenhouses in the province of Qazvin were observed with crown gall ...
