Colon cancer is the fourth most common cancer globally with 639,000 deaths reported annually. Typical chemotherapy is provided
by injection route to reduce tumor growth and metastasis. Recent research investigates the oral delivery profiles of chemotherapeutic
agents. In comparison to injection, oral administration of drugs in the form of a colon-specific delivery system is expected
to increase drug bioavailability at target site, reduce drug dose and systemic adverse effects. Pectin is suitable for use
as colon-specific drug delivery vehicle as it is selectively digested by colonic microflora to release drug with minimal degradation
in upper gastrointestinal tract. The present review examines the physicochemical attributes of formulation needed to retard
drug release of pectin matrix prior to its arrival at colon, and evaluate the therapeutic value of pectin matrix in association
with colon cancer. The review suggests that multi-particulate calcium pectinate matrix is an ideal carrier to orally deliver
drugs for site-specific treatment of colon cancer as (1) crosslinking of pectin by calcium ions in a matrix negates drug release
in upper gastrointestinal tract, (2) multi-particulate carrier has a slower transit and a higher contact time for drug action
in colon than single-unit dosage form, and (3) both pectin and calcium have an indication to reduce the severity of colon
cancer from the implication of diet and molecular biology studies. Pectin matrix demonstrates dual advantages as drug carrier
and therapeutic for use in treatment of colon cancer. 相似文献

Bifunctional compounds were tested in vitro as potential inhibitors of pig liver catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) with respect to the catechol substrate 4-[(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)azo]benzenesulfonate. The bifunctional compounds were a composite of either two nitrocatechols or one nitrocatechol and one phenol, linked by amide bonds to a spacer unit comprising two to five methylene groups. The unsymmetrical compounds N-[2-(4-hydroxybenzoylamine)ethyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzamide], N-[3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl-amine)propyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzamide] and N-[5-(4-hydroxybenzoylamine)pentyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzamide] demonstrated strong inhibitory action against COMT with K(i) values in the 100 nM range. In comparison, the monofunctional nitrocatechol analogues of these compounds had K(i) values that were significantly higher. 相似文献

To investigate the phylogenetic relationships among the powdery mildew fungi of some economically important tropical trees
belonging to Oidium subgenus Pseudoidium, we conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses using 30 DNA sequences of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions
and 26 sequences of the domains D1 and D2 of the 28S rDNA obtained from the powdery mildews on Hevea brasiliensis (para rubber tree), Anacardium occidentale (cashew), Bixa orellana, Citrus spp., Mangifera indica (mango), and Acacia spp. The results indicate that the powdery mildew fungi isolated from these tropical trees are closely related to one another.
These powdery mildews are also closely related to E. alphitoides (including Erysiphe sp. on Quercus phillyraeoides). Because of the obligate biotrophic nature of the powdery mildew fungi, the relationship between powdery mildews and their
host plants is conservative. However, the present study suggests that a particular powdery mildew species has expanded its
host ranges on a wide range of the tropical trees. This article also suggests that a powdery mildew fungus distributed in
temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere expanded its host ranges onto tropical plants and may be a good example of how
geographical and host range expansion has occurred in the Erysiphales. 相似文献

Aim
The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitivity of the trajectory log file based quality assurance to detect potential errors such as MLC positioning and gantry positioning by comparing it with EPID measurement using the most commonly used criteria of 3%/3?mm.Materials and methods
An in-house program was used to modified plans using information from log files, which can then be used to recalculate a new dose distribution. The recalculated dose volume histograms (DVH) were compared with the originals to assess differences in target and critical organ dose. The dose according to the differences in DVH was also compared with dosimetry from an electronic portal imaging device.Results
In all organs at risk (OARs) and planning target volumes (PTVs), there was a strong positive linear relationship between MLC positioning and dose error, in both IMRT and VMAT plans. However, gantry positioning errors exhibited little impact in VMAT delivery. For the ten clinical cases, no significant correlations were found between gamma passing rates under the criteria of 3%/3?mm for the composite dose and the mean dose error in DVH (r?<?0.3, P?>?0.05); however, a significant positive correlation was found between the gamma passing rate of 3%/3?mm (%) averaged over all fields and the mean dose error in the DVH of the VMAT plans (r?=?0.59, P?<?0.001).Conclusions
This study has successfully shown the sensitivity of the trajectory log file to detect the impact of systematic MLC errors and random errors in dose delivery and analyzed the correlation of gamma passing rates with DVH. 相似文献9.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by overproduction and accumulation of amyloid beta-peptide (Aβ). The hallmarks associated with this AD are the presence of Aβ plaques between the nerve cell in the brain which leading to synaptic loss in memory. The amyloid plaques contain of transition metals like zinc, copper and iron. In a healthy brain, the metal ions are present in balance concentration. High concentrations of Zn are normally released during neurotransmission process. The release of Zn might cause the aggregation of Aβ leading to AD. Amyloid-β1–42 is the main type of Aβ in amyloid plaque. There still have limited explanation on how Aβ1–42 interaction with Zn metal, as well as the effect of Zn metal on the Aβ structure in different solvents in atomic detail. Therefore, we investigated the structural changes of Aβ1–42 in water (Aβ-H2O) and the mixed hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) with water (Aβ-HFIP/H2O). The mixed solvent consisted of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and water was used with the ratio of HFIP:H2O (80:20). The effect of zinc ion was also examined for the interaction of Aβ peptide with zinc in water (Aβ-Zn-H2O) and mixed solvent (Aβ-Zn-HFIP/H2O) using all atom level molecular dynamics (MD) calculations for 1 μs. We found that Aβ-Zn-HFIP/H2O contained more α-helix compared to Aβ-HFIP/H2O while Aβ-H2O and Aβ-Zn-H2O produced well-dissolved structure and they contained more β-sheets. β-turns are possible to bind with the receptor proteins and may induce the aggregation process in AD. Thus, Aβ-H2O and Aβ-Zn-H2O have higher possibility leading to AD compared to Aβ-Zn-HFIP/H2O and Aβ-HFIP/H2O models. 相似文献

Summary A gene coding for amylase was cloned and sequenced from an alkalophilic Pseudomonas sp. KFCC 10818. The coding region for the amylase precursor contained 1,692 nucleotides. The presumed Shine-Dalgarno sequence, AAGG, was located at 8 nucleotides upstream from the ATG initiation codon. The precursor protein had a putative signal peptide of 25 amino acid residues at its amino terminus. The Pseudomonas amylase had four highly conserved regions as other -amylases. The amylase expressed from E. coli harboring the Pseudomonas gene produced maltose and maltotriose from soluble starch.The nucleotide sequence reported in this paper has been submitted in the GenBank/EMBL database with accession number(s) U40056. 相似文献
