Preventing and treating malaria in pregnancy is a global health priority. However little is known regarding the impact of malaria infection on the maternal and fetal disposition of pharmaceuticals and other xenobiotics. Our objective was to characterize expression of key determinants of drug-disposition in maternal and fetal tissues in a validated murine model of experimental placental malaria....

Mice are themost commonly used species for non-clinical evaluations of drug efficacy against tuberculosis (TB). Unlike commonly used strains, C3HeB/FeJ mice develop caseous necrosis in the lung, which might alter the representation of drug efficacy in a way that is more like human TB. Because the development of such pathology requires time, we investigated the effect of infection incubation per...

The small intestine plays an important role in all aspects of pharmacokinetics, but there is no system for the comprehensive evaluation of small-intestinal pharmacokinetics, including drug metabolism and absorption. In this study, we aimed to construct an intestinal pharmacokinetics evaluation system and to generate pharmacokinetically functional enterocytes from human induced pluripotent stem ...

Proof. We will calculate the integral closure of A inside K. We begin with a more general discussion. Suppose C is an irreducible, affine curve, that is, C is some irreducible affine variety of dimension 1. Let A be the ring of regular functions on C, so that A is a noetherian domain of Krull dimension 1. Localization preserves the noetherian condition, as well as the domain condition. Thus, th...

The spread of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis necessitates the discovery of new classes of antibacterials and compounds that inhibit macromolecules involved in these resistant mechanisms. Thirty ethanol extracts from nineteen selected plants from Zimbabwe were screened against Mycobacterium aurum and Corynebacterium glutamicum using the agar disk diffusion method. These two organisms were use...

Accumulating evidence showed that aberrant miRNAs expression was involved in initiation and progression of melanoma. However, the investigation of different miRNAs in melanoma remain attractive. In this research, we demonstrated that miR-610 expression was decreased in melanoma tissues and cell lines. The clinical data showed that the reduced miR-610 expression was obviously associated with adv...

Osteosarcoma is the most frequent primary bone tumor affects adolescents and young adults. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding and endogenous RNAs that played as important roles in the initiation and progression of tumors. In this study, we try to explore the biological function and expression of miR-610 in the osteosarcoma. We showed that miR-610 expression was downregulated in ...
