| thrombotic microangiopathies: thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura / hemolytic uremic syndrome. | thrombotic microangiopathies (tmas) are pathological conditions characterized by generalized microvascular occlusion by platelet thrombi, thrombocytopenia, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. two typical phenotypes of tmas are hemolytic- uremic syndrome (hus) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (ttp). other disorders occasionally present with similar manifestations. depending on whether renal or brain lesions prevail, two pathologically indistinguishable but somehow clinically different d ... | 2010 | 21103695 |
| facile synthesis and antibacterial activity of naturally occurring 5-methoxyfuroflavone. | a convenient synthesis of 5-methoxyfuroflavone (6, pongaglabol methyl ether), a constituent of some pongamia or millettia genus, was achieved by starting from 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methoxyacetophenone via a chalcone precursor, followed by treatment with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (ddq). this five-step reaction (total yield: 21.6%) is more facile with that of previously utilized procedures using each different starting material. antibacterial activities of the above compound and its prec ... | 2010 | 21139271 |
| convergent synthesis of a common pentasaccharide corresponding to the o-antigen of escherichia coli o168 and shigella dysenteriae type 4. | a convenient synthetic strategy of the common acidic pentasaccharide repeating unit corresponding to the o-antigen of enterotoxigenic e. coli o168 and shigella dysenteriae type 4 has been successfully developed. a stereoselective [2 + 3] block glycosylation method has been exploited to get the target pentasaccharide derivative. most of the synthetic intermediates were solid and prepared in high yields from commercially available reducing sugars following a series of protection-deprotection react ... | 2010 | 21181263 |
| imperatorin a furocoumarin inhibits periplasmic cu-zn sod of shigella dysenteriae their by modulates its resistance towards phagocytosis during host pathogen interaction. | shigella dysenteriae continues to be a major health problem, which leads to death, due to diarrhoea and dysentery, predominantly in children below the age of 5. bacterial invasion of the colonic epithelium leads to severe inflammation together with bacterial dissemination generates abscesses and ulcerations. periplasmic copper, zinc super oxide dismutase of shigella protects it from exogenous superoxide produced by host, during its invasion. hence, in present study an attempt was made to study t ... | 2010 | 21194882 |

| intraoperative staging in ovarian cancer. | in patients with early stage i or ii ovarian cancer a meticulous staging laparotomy is required; this should include omentectomy, pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy, multiple peritoneal biopsies and diaphragmatic biopsies. adjunctive therapy is based on these surgical-pathological findings. in patients with advanced disease (stages iii and iv) it has been demonstrated that optimal tumour reduction enhances the length of survival. a complete resection of all gross disease in the abdominal cavi ... | 2009 | 2661086 |
| fibrinogen nagoya, a replacement of glutamine-329 by arginine in the gamma-chain that impairs the polymerization of fibrin monomer. | structural studies on a hereditary abnormal fibrinogen, fibrinogen nagoya (takamatsu, j., ogata, k., kamiya, t., koie, k., takagi, t., & iwanaga, s. (1979) thromb. haemost. 42, 78), were performed to identify the abnormality responsible for the impaired polymerization of fibrin monomer. upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions, fibrinogen nagoya showed the presence of an extra protein band with an apparent molecular weight of 49,500 in addition to ... | 2009 | 2738036 |
