An experimental model of hypercholesterolemic rabbits suitable for studying the hypocholesterolemic effect of compounds was
developed. Rabbits were made hypercholesterolemic by oral administration of cholesterol (100mg/kg body weight/day) suspended
in groud nut oil by gastric intubation (Ryle's tube). Cholesterol can be given to rabbits from 10 days to 6 months depending
on the degree of hypercholesterolemia required and duration of study of hypocholesterolemic effect. In one month cholesterol
feeding experiment, the serum cholesterol level in normal controls (not given cholesterol) was 67±11.3 mg/dl and in cholesterol
fed animals 191.3±70.6 mg/dl. In 2 months experiment, besides hypercholesterolemia, abnormal serum lipid profile and increase
in lipid content in liver, heart and aorta were also seen. To such animals when water and methanol extracts of garlic were
given along with cholesterol, there was significant decrease in serum cholesterol level. The advantage of this method over
the method in which cholesterol is mixed with diet to induce hypercholesterolemia is that exactly same and calculated amount
of cholesterol can be given for each animal. This minimises the variations in serum cholesterol levels in different animals. 相似文献

After demonstrating that trifluoperazine (TFP) possesses invitro antitubercular activity against drug (single and multidrug) resistantMycobacterium tuberculosis, we initiated preliminary clinical studies in a few patients of tubercular lymphadenitis. Effect of TFP was assessed by testing
the antitubercular activity of the serum of patients receiving TFP in addition to regular therapy. Patients were divided into
two groups of 30 each. For ethical considerations, patients of both groups were treated initially for one month with antitubercular
therapy (ATT) consisting of isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide and TFP was tried for 15 days only. Patients
of group1 were given a single dose of TFP (5mg/day) daily from days 31 to 45 in addition to ATT, while those in group 2 received
ATT only. Assessment of the antitubercular activity of the serum (testedin vitro in Youmans and Karlson’s liquid medium) revealed that the serum of patients (collected on 45th day) of group1 (ATT+TFP treated)
possessed much higher antitubercular activity than that of group 2 (ATT only treated) patients. Clinical examination indicated
that overall improvement was seen much earlier in group1 (ATT+TFP) patients than in group 2 (ATT alone) patients. At the end
of the follow up period of 6 months with ATT from 46th day onwards to both groups, there were no side effects due to TFP.
Hematology and liver function tests were normal in both the groups. We suggest that TFP has good potential and therefore deserves
further studies either in combination with other drugs of ATT or as one of the drugs of ATT, for the treatment of tuberculosis
due to MDR strains to find a suitable effective dose without side effects. 相似文献

Based on our demonstration earlier that ethanol extract, water extract and a compound purified from garlic possessedin vitro antitubercular activity against drug resistant and susceptibleMycobacterium tuberculosis, we tried the effect of garlic extract in 30 patients of tubercular lymphadenitis. For ethical considerations, two groups
of patients, 30 each, were given antitubercular therapy (ATT) consisting of isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide
for 30 days. For the next 15 days (31 to 45 days) group 1 patients received 3–6 garlic pearls per day in addition to ATT while
group 2 patients received ATT only. From 46th day onwards both the groups received ATT only for 6–8 months. Antitubercular
activity of the serum samples collected on 45th day was assessed by its effect on the growth ofM. tuberculois. The serum of group 1 patients showed significantly much higher antitubercular activity than that of group 2 patients. Further,
there was relief of dyspeptic symptoms caused by ATT therapy in patients of group 1 with garlic plus ATT therapy but no change
in group 2 patients with ATT only. Liver function and hematological tests were normal in both the groups after 6 months of
therapy. Garlic extracts or compounds have a good potential as antitubercular(s) drug if given as a supplement to ATT. 相似文献

Loving is a fundamental aspect of being human. Freud himself argued that the inability to love leads to illness, and some empirical research appears to support his view. Yet our knowledge of the nature of love remains primitive, because until recently it was not considered scientifically respectable to investigate love phenomena. This study used confirmatory factor analytic methods to test the fit of various models to data provided by 499 subjects on the 1990 version of the Hendrick and Hendrick Love Attitudes Scale. The results suggest that counselors and researchers should not treat the love styles delineated by Lee as discrete or uncorrelated entities. The results also suggest that the traditional model regarding this measure, positing (a) six factors (b) that are uncorrelated, may not provide a very good fit to data from the Love Attitudes Scale. 相似文献

Acute and chronic toxicity studies were conducted to assess toxicity of a partially purified preparation from the water extract
of the bark ofFicus bengalensis, which was demonstrated in our earlier studies to have significant hypoglycemic and hypocholesteroiemic effect on alloxan
induced, mild and severe diabetes in rabbits. LD50 of this preparation was found to be ∼1 gm/kg in rats when given orally. For chronic toxicity studies 3 doses of aqueous preparation
were given to 3 groups of rats. First group received 5 times ED50 (50 mg/kg), second group 10 times ED50 (100 mg/kg) and the third group 15 times ED50 (150 mg/kg) for 3 months. Fourth group which served as control was given water. After three months, blood was collected for
studying biochemical and hematological parameters. Blood glucose, serum cholesterol, liver and kidney function tests, haemoglobin,
total and differential leukocyte count were determined. Animals were sacrificed and histopathological examination of liver,
heart and kidneys was carried out. Results of the study showed that partially purified preparation fromFicus bengalensis is not toxic by all the above mentioned parameters. 相似文献

The effect of the antitubercular drugs isoniazid (10 μg/ml), ethambutol (10 μg/ml), rifampicin (0.5 μg/ml) and streptomycin
(1 μg/ml) on the calmodulin like protein (CAMLP) content ofMycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv andM. tuberculosis H37Ra was investigated. The drugs were added to actively growing cells at their mid log phase of growth (14 days) and after 12
more hours of incubation, CAMLP was estimated. In both the mycobacteria, all the four antitubercular drugs CAMLP. 相似文献

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are capable of proliferating and differentiating to form cells of the three embryonic germ layers, namely, endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. The utilization of human ES cell derivatives requires the ability to direct differentiation to specific lineages in defined, efficient, and scalable systems. Better markers are needed to identify early differentiation. Lectins have been reported as an attractive alternative to the common stem cell markers. They have been used to identify, characterize, and isolate various cell subpopulations on the basis of the presentation of specific carbohydrate groups on the cell surface. This article demonstrates how simple adhesion assays in lectin-coated microfluidic channels can provide key information on the interaction of lectins with ES and definitive endoderm cells and thereby track early differentiation. The microfluidic approach incorporates both binding strength and cell surface receptor density, whereas traditional flow cytometry only incorporates the latter. Both approaches are examined and shown to be complementary with the microfluidic approach providing more biologically relevant information. 相似文献

A close study of a square and a cube helps in extrapolating the concepts of vertex, edge and face to higher dimensions. Recurrence
relationships have been heuristically arrived at, with the help of which high school students could be taught to calculate
iteratively the number of vertices, edges, faces, etc of cube-like objects and simplexes of higher dimensions. 相似文献
