One of the most common features of many different clinical conditions is pain; hence, there is a crucial need for eliminating or reducing it to a tolerable level to retrieve physical, psychological and social functioning. A first derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetry technique is proposed for the simultaneous determination of celecoxib and tramadol HCl, a recent coformulation authorized for treating acute pain in adults. The method includes using synchronous spectrofluorimetry at ∆λ = 80 nm where tramadol HCl was determined using first derivative technique at λ = 230.2 nm, while celecoxib was determined at λ = 288.24 nm. The proposed method was successfully applied to their co-formulated dosage forms in addition to spiked human plasma and validated in agreement with the guidelines of the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). The linear ranges were found to be 0.50–5.0 and 0.15–0.50, the limits of detection to be 0.088 and 0.011 and the limits of quantification to be 0.266 and 0.032 μg/ml for celecoxib and tramadol, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference when compared with previously reported methods as evidenced by the values of the variance ratio F-test and Student t-test. The proposed method was successfully applied to commercial dosage forms and spiked human samples. Moreover, the greenness of the proposed method was investigated based on the analytical eco-scale approach, with the results showing an excellent green scale with a score of 95. 相似文献

Effects of Temperature and Salinity on Vibrio vulnificus Population Dynamics as Assessed by Quantitative PCR 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
The abundance of Vibrio vulnificus in coastal environments has been linked to water temperature, while its relationship to salinity is less clear. We have developed a culture-independent, most-probable-number quantitative PCR approach to examine V. vulnificus population dynamics in Barnegat Bay, N.J. Based on the combined analysis of our results from Barnegat Bay and from the literature, the present data show that (i) V. vulnificus population dynamics are strongly correlated to water temperature and (ii) although the general trend is for V. vulnificus abundance to be inversely correlated with salinity, this relationship depends on salinity levels. Irrespective of temperature, high abundances of V. vulnificus are observed at 5 to 10 ppt, which thus appears to be the optimal salinity regime for their survival. At 20 to 25 ppt, V. vulnificus abundances show a positive correlation to salinity. Unsuccessful attempts to resuscitate V. vulnificus, combined with our inability to detect cells during the winter despite an assay adapted to detect viable but nonculturable (VBNC) cells, suggest that the decline and eventual disappearance of V. vulnificus from the water column during the winter months is due primarily to a significant reduction in population size and is not only the consequence of cells entering the VBNC state. These findings are in line with the hypothesis that the sediment serves as a refuge for a subpopulation of V. vulnificus over the winter and weather-driven mixing events during the spring initiate a summer bloom in the water column. 相似文献

The characterization of the normal urinary proteome is steadily progressing and represents a major interest in the assessment of clinical urinary biomarkers. To estimate quantitatively the variability of the normal urinary proteome, urines of 20 healthy people were collected. We first evaluated the impact of the sample conservation temperature on urine proteome integrity. Keeping the urine sample at RT or at +4°C until storage at -80°C seems the best way for long-term storage of samples for 2D-GE analysis. The quantitative variability of the normal urinary proteome was estimated on the 20 urines mapped by 2D-GE. The occurrence of the 910 identified spots was analysed throughout the gels and represented in a virtual 2D gel. Sixteen percent of the spots were found to occur in all samples and 23% occurred in at least 90% of urines. About 13% of the protein spots were present only in 10% or less of the samples, thus representing the most variable part of the normal urinary proteome. Twenty proteins corresponding to a fraction of the fully conserved spots were identified by mass spectrometry. In conclusion, a "public" urinary proteome, common to healthy individuals, seems to coexist with a "private" urinary proteome, which is more specific to each individual. 相似文献

Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) are a group of heterogeneous inherited autosomal recessive disorders characterized by muscular weakness, hypotonia and contractures. The Merosin Negative CMD (MNCMD) is considered to be the most severe form and is usually associated with white matter abnormalities as seen with brain imaging. Merosin is also expressed in the nervous system and its deficiency could affect its development. This article describes the clinical picture, muscle biopsy findings and neuroimaging abnormalities of eight Egyptian Pediatric patients with the clinical presentation of merosin negative congenital muscular dystrophy. The leading clinical presentation in almost all patients was severe hypotonia, muscular weakness and failure to achieve motor developmental milestones, only Case 2 walked at 2 years of age. Mentality was normal in most patients with exception of Case 2 in whom scholastic achievement was poor and was associated with behavior abnormality. Serum Creatine kinase ranged from moderate to severe elevation, 536–3563 U/L, Electromyography demonstrated a myopathic pattern in all patients. Brain MRI showed extensive demyelination of the cerebral white matter in 6/8 patients with extension to cerebellar demyelination in Case 5. 5/8 patients underwent muscle biopsy for which immunofluorescence staining for merosin demonstrated complete deficiency of laminin α2 in Case 5 & partial deficiency of laminin α2 in Case 2.This report demonstrates the utility of Immunofluorescence staining as a guide to confirm the diagnosis of MDCMD especially when molecular diagnosis is not available. 相似文献

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T cell lymphoma in which the distinction between early stage MF and other inflammatory dermatosis remains difficult. Twenty patients of early stage MF and nine patients with psoriasis and lichen planus were included in this study. Ten MF patients were treated with psoralen plus UVA (PUVA) and the other 10 MF patients were treated with PUVA plus methotrexate (MTX) until complete clinical remission. Synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy (SIRM) found that MF lesions were biochemically different compared to inflammatory diseases. After treating MF with either therapeutic modality, the lymphocytic count decreased significantly in both the epidermis and dermis (P < 0.001) but no biochemical changes were observed in the remaining lymphocytes after treatment, indicating the disease process was slowed by treatment but not eradicated. In conclusion SIRM is a promising method for distinguishing MF from other inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and lichen planus. A significant reduction in lymphocyte count indicated that PUVA therapy is an effective treatment for early stage MF, and MTX could be reserved for more advanced cases that are not PUVA responsive. However, SIRM evidence of persistent disease suggests that maintenance therapy is recommended after clinical remission. 相似文献

Hydroxyzine HCl is used in oral formulations for the treatment of urticaria and atopic dermatitis. Dizziness, blurred vision,
and anticholinergic responses, represent the most common side effects. It has been shown that controlled release of the drug
from a delivery system to the skin could reduce the side effects while reducing percutaneous absorption. Therefore, the aim
of the present study was to produce an effective drug-loaded dosage form that is able to control the release of hydroxyzine
hydrochloride into the skin. The Microsponge Delivery System is a unique technology for the controlled release of topical
agents, and it consists of porous polymeric microspheres, typically 10–50 μm in diameter, loaded with active agents. Eudragit
RS-100 microsponges of the drug were prepared by the oil in an oil emulsion solvent diffusion method using acetone as dispersing
solvent and liquid paraffin as the continuous medium. Magnesium stearate was added to the dispersed phase to prevent flocculation
of Eudragit RS-100 microsponges. Pore inducers such as sucrose and pregelatinized starch were used to enhance the rate of
drug release. Microsponges of nearly 98% encapsulation efficiency and 60–70% porosity were produced. The pharmacodynamic effect
of the chosen preparation was tested on the shaved back of histamine-sensitized rabbits. Histopathological studies were driven
for the detection of the healing of inflamed tissues. 相似文献

Striga hermonthica is a root parasitic plant that infests cereals, decimating yields, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa. For germination, Striga seeds require host‐released strigolactones that are perceived by the family of HYPOSENSITIVE to LIGHT (ShHTL) receptors. Inhibiting seed germination would thus be a promising approach for combating Striga. However, there are currently no strigolactone antagonists that specifically block ShHTLs and do not bind to DWARF14, the homologous strigolactone receptor of the host. Here, we show that the octyl phenol ethoxylate Triton X‐100 inhibits S. hermonthica seed germination without affecting host plants. High‐resolution X‐ray structures reveal that Triton X‐100 specifically plugs the catalytic pocket of ShHTL7. ShHTL7‐specific inhibition by Triton X‐100 demonstrates the dominant role of this particular ShHTL receptor for Striga germination. Our structural analysis provides a rationale for the broad specificity and high sensitivity of ShHTL7, and reveals that strigolactones trigger structural changes in ShHTL7 that are required for downstream signaling. Our findings identify Triton and the related 2‐[4‐(2,4,4‐trimethylpentan‐2‐yl)phenoxy]acetic acid as promising lead compounds for the rational design of efficient Striga‐specific herbicides. 相似文献

In case of a life-threatening, stressful event, the body prepares for an emergency. Indeed, the lung is unique in which alveolar cells are constantly exposed to physical and chemical stresses. This study aimed to study the impact of immobilization stress on the blood–air barrier and how it initiate and maintain an inflammatory response, plus determining the resolution of lung inflammation and repair. There was a significant increase in the plasma levels of stress markers “corticosterone and catecholamines” with a decrease in surfactant protein A (a lung-injury marker). Chronic stress produced a significant increase in the pulmonary oxidative and inflammatory markers malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor α, and induced nitric oxide synthase when compared with that of acute stress. Both stresses provoked marked pulmonary morphological and ultrastructural changes with a significant increase in caspase-3 immunoexpression. There was increasing evidence of lung’s capacity for repair. This process involved edema resolution, cell proliferation, and tissue remodeling in improving the lung-injury, oxidative, and inflammatory markers. 相似文献

Background: Associations between polymorphisms for gene encoding enzymes involved in biotransformation of xenobiotics and susceptibility to several cancers have been shown in several studies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 (CYP1A1) and GST deletions with the incidence of Polycythemia vera (PV) among the Jordanian population. Methods: The study included 61 PV patients and 70 cancer-free healthy controls. CYP1A1 (m1, m2, m3, m4) and GST (T1, M1) genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. The risk of cancer associated with gene polymorphisms was estimated by calculations of odds ratio (ORs) and confidence intervals (95% CIs) using Mantel–Haenszel statistics. Results: A statistically significant difference between the PV group and the control group was observed in the case of GSTM1 null genotype with 3.38 fold increase in risk of developing PV (95% CI = 1.63–7.01, p = 0.001) while GSTT1 null genotype showed no significance (OR = 1.11; 95% CI = 0.50–2.44, p = 0.38). No significant association was found between the CYP1A1 mutant genotypes (m1, m2, m4) and PV. The m3 genotype was absent in both patients and controls. Interestingly, a substantial significant increase of PV risk for the combination of GSTM1 null genotype and CYP1A1 m1 (T6235C) genotype was observed (OR = 4.38; 95% CI = 1.15–16.73, p = .02). Furthermore, the present case–control study showed that the studied Jordanian population generally resembles Caucasian populations with respect to the frequencies of CYP1A1 polymorphisms. Conclusion: Our data suggests that GSTM1 null genotype alone and in combination with CYP1A1 m1 genotype may be predisposing risk factors for PV in the Jordanian population. 相似文献

Treatment of 5-amino-1-(9-methyl-5,6-dihydronaphtho[1',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-11-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (1) with formic acid afforded pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivative 2. The sodium salt of the latter compound (generated in situ) was treated with some alkyl halides to afford the corresponding N-substituted compounds 3-7. The siloxy derivative 8 (generated also in situ from 2) was ribosylated and glycosylated to yield compounds 9 and 11, respectively. Deprotection of compounds 9 and 11 in methanolic ammonia produced the free nucleosides 10 and 12, respectively. Moreover, the prepared compounds were tested for antiviral activity against H5N1 virus [A/chicken/Egypt/1/2006] and some of them revealed moderate results compared with the other tested compounds. 相似文献
