background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of conjugated lino-leic acid (cla) on apoptosis of tachyzoites of t . gondii , rh strain (type i) and the cyst-forming tehran strain (type ii) in vitro. methods: toxoplasma strains were injected into the peritoneal cavity of balb/c mice. the tehran strain forms cysts in the brain of mice. bradyzoites within the cysts are reactivated ...

abstract background hemorrhagic cystitis(hc)is one of the most challenging complications in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(hsct). estrogen is one of the suggested treatments for controllingthis problem. material and methods we performed a randomizedcase - controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of oral conjugated estrogen on hc management in 56hsct patients.patients were randomly ass...

background: reactive oxygen species (ros) have important role in the etiology and pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (ra). we investigated the effect of conjugated linoleic acids (clas) and vitamin e on lipid peroxidation. methods: in a randomized, double-blind placebo, controlled, clinical trial 87 patients with active ra were enrolled. they were divided into 4 groups, received one of the fo...

Abstract Dicationic bis‐quinolinium salts possessing different types of conjugation are presented in which the hetareniums separated by acetylenic or 1,4‐diethynylbenzene spacers. Cross‐conjugation is induced interconnections via 3‐positions heteroareniums, and realized 2,2/2,4/4,4‐interconnections. We also synthesized mixed cross‐conjugated/conjugated 2,3/4,3‐interconnected species. The determ...

A variety of anatomic, infectious, autoimmune, and metabolic diseases can lead to conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, both in the newborn period and later in childhood. The pediatric practitioner is most likely to encounter conjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the neonatal period.It is crucial to maintain a high degree of suspicion for cholestasis in the persistently jaundiced newborn. The goal is recog...

Altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons were recently introduced and studied in theoretical organic chemistry. We now provide a generalization of the altan concept, applicable to any graph. Several earlier noticed topological properties of altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons are shown to be the properties of all altan derivatives of all graphs. Among these ar...

Luminescent conjugated polyelectrolytes (LCPs) can upon interaction with biological macromolecules change their luminescent properties, and thereby serve as conformation- and interaction-sensitive biomolecular probes. However, to exploit this in a more quantitative manner, there is a need to better understand the photophysical processes involved. We report studies of the conjugated pentameric o...

Background: It is believed that the loading value of anticancer drug conjugated to the monoclonal antibody, called drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), is the main quality feature of antibody-drug conjugates. Methods: In this study, matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry was used to determine the average molecular weight of trastuzumab and its three conjugated forms. The differe...

The aim was to determine the conjugated linoleic acids in beef with GC-FID. Perfect separation of all of the isomers cannot be achieved, though conjugated linoleic acid isomers proved to be separable from the other fatty acids that are present in beef in a significant amount related to conjugated linoleic acids. Lipid-extraction was carried out with n-hexane/i-propanol, giving 6.8 percent highe...
