Extraction optimization of total triterpenoids from Jatropha curcas leaves using response surface methodology and evaluations of their antimicrobial and antioxidant capacities

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (2), 2015
Background Triterpenoids are multifunctional secondary metabolites in plants. But little information is available concerning the actual yield, optimal extraction method and pharmacologic activity with regard to triterpenoids from Jatropha curcas leaves (TJL). Hence, response surface methodology (RSM) was...

Desarrollo de una vacuna mejorada de la subunidad del virus de la diarrea viral bovina basada en la glicoproteína E2 fusionada con un anticuerpo de cadena única que se dirige a las células presentadoras de antígenos
Development of an enhanced bovine viral diarrhea virus subunit vaccine based on E2 glycoprotein fused to a single chain antibody which targets to antigen-presenting cells

Rev. argent. microbiol; 47 (1), 2015
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important cause of economic losses worldwide. E2 is an immunodominant protein and a promising candidate to develop subunit vaccines. To improve its immunogenicity, a truncated E2 (tE2) was fused to a single chain antibody named APCH, which targets to antigen-prese...

Neumonía necrosante adquirida en la comunidad causada por Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina ST30-SCCmecIVc-Spat019-PVL positivo en San Antonio de Areco, Argentina
Community-acquired necrotizing pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST30-SCCmecIVc-spat019-PVL positive in San Antonio de Areco, Argentina

Rev. argent. microbiol; 47 (1), 2015
Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is the first cause of skin and soft tissue infections, but can also produce severe diseases such as bacteremia, osteomyelitis and necrotizing pneumonia. Some S. aureus lineages have been described in cases of necrotizing pneumonia worldwide, ...

Atividade de novos derivados de tiazolidinodionas sobre a diferenciação de pré-osteoblastos e pré-adipócitos

As tiazolidinodionas (TZDs) são sensibilizadores de insulina utilizados no tratamento do diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Contudo, apesar dos efeitos benéficos sobre a glicemia, importantes efeitos adversos incluindo perda óssea e aumento de adiposidade são relatados com o uso clínico das TZDs. Assim, é n...

Prepartum administration of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) on adaptation to subclinical ketosis of the ewes and performance of the lambs

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of prepartum rbST injection on the metabolic profile of pregnant ewes induced to subclinical ketosis, as well as the metabolism until seven days of life and weight gain until seven weeks of life of the lambs. Twenty seven pregnant ewes of the pantaneiro g...

Neurotoxic effects of levobupivacaine and fentanyl on rat spinal cord

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 65 (1), 2015
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to compare the neurotoxic effects of intrathecally administered levobupivacaine, fentanyl and their mixture on rat spinal cord. METHODS: In experiment, there were four groups with medication and a control group. Rats were injected 15 µL saline or fentanyl 0.0005 ...

Oseltamivir-resistant influenza A(H1N1)pdm2009 strains found in Brazil are endowed with permissive mutations, which compensate the loss of fitness imposed by antiviral resistance

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 110 (1), 2015
The 2009 pandemic influenza A virus outbreak led to the systematic use of the neuraminidase (NA) inhibitor oseltamivir (OST). Consequently, OST-resistant strains, carrying the mutation H275Y, emerged in the years after the pandemics, with a prevalence of 1-2%. Currently, OST-resistant strains have been f...

Escolha do anestésico local para bloqueio peribulbar: revisão da literatura

Rev. méd. Minas Gerais; 25 (S4), 2015
Procedimentos cirúrgicos oftalmológicos são realizados, em sua maioria, em pacientes com idade avançada e que apresentam diversas comorbidades clínicas, trazendo subsequentes preocupações com o emprego de anestesia geral. Há, portanto, preferência pela anestesia regional, sendo o bloqueio peribu...

Status de selênio de uma população residente em área de risco de contaminação por mercúrio: influência de polimorfismos e ação sobre o estresse oxidativo

Estudos apontam que a região Amazônica apresenta concentrações significativas de selênio nos solos e que, por isso, a população não estaria susceptível à deficiência desse mineral. Em contrapartida, a região também apresenta dados de concentrações elevadas de mercúrio nos solos e rios, en...
