AIM To detect the presence of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine enzyme (8-OHdG) in recurrent pterygium and its role on recurrence. METHODS Ninty-two samples were collected of which 55 from primary pterygium, 12 from recurrent and 25 from normal conjunctiva. A cross sectional study was embarked to detect the presence of the 8-OHdG enzyme in primary, recurrent pterygium and the normal conjunctival tissue...

the persian literature, whether verse or prose, is filled with the ethic, moral, mystical, and educational concepts and ideas. among the great poets, sa' di has a specific approach toward these supreme notions. one may notice many moral and educational concepts and attitudes in the 7th & 8th chapters in his golestan. in this research, it has been tried to survey the various factors and gro...

The new diclofenac-based cobalt (II) complex, namely bis {2- [2-(2,6-dichloro anilino) phenyl] acetato-κ'O, O'} (2-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN3cobalt has been synthesized and characterized by FT–IR, UV spectroscopies single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. title complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I2/a with a = 19.0546(8) Å, b 13.7167(8) c 14.7165(7) 90˚, Å g 90˚ Z=4. According t...

Twenty trifluoromethylphenyl amides were synthesized and evaluated as fungicides and as mosquito toxicants and repellents. Against Aedes aegypti larvae, N-(2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3,5-dinitrobenzamide (1e) was the most toxic compound (24 h LC50 1940 nM), while against adults N-(2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (1c) was most active (24 h LD50 19.18...

The effects of hydroxylation at the C8 of a deoxyguanosine residue in DNA were studied by NMR analysis of a self-complementary dodecanucleotide, d(C1-G2-C3-oh8G4-A5-A6-T7-T8-C9-G10-C11-G12), which has an 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (oh8dG) residue at the 4th position. NMR data indicate that the 8-hydroxyguanine (oh8G) base takes a 6,8-diketo tautomeric form and is base-paired to C with Watson-C...

Chronic psychological stress is associated with accelerated aging, but the underlying biological mechanisms are not known. Prolonged elevations of the stress hormone cortisol is suspected to play a critical role. Through its actions, cortisol may potentially induce oxidatively generated damage to cellular constituents such as DNA and RNA, a phenomenon which has been implicated in aging processe...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(21)H(17)Cl(2)N(3)O, contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules with similar conformations. The benzotriazole ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 30.61 (5) and 43.36 (5)°, respectively, to the phenyl and dichloro-phenyl rings in one mol-ecule, and 32.25 (5) and 41.04 (5)° in the other. The dihedral angles between the phenyl and dichlo...
