Abstract: PE is heterogeneous type of disease, profoundly defined by existence of hypertension and proteinuria, mostly after 20 weeks of gestations. It was reported that placental dysfunction due to PE manifests into alteration of circulating pro-angiogenic or anti-angiogenic mediators, such as placental growth factor (PlGF), and the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor-1 (sFlt-1). We assessed […]

Abstract A series of new 1,3,5-tri-{4-[(3-alkyl/aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one-4-yl)-azomethin]-phenoxycarbonyl} benzenes (4) were obtained from the reactions of 3-alkyl/aryl-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (2) with 1,3,5-tri-(4-formylphenoxycarbonyl)-benzene (1) and characterized by IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectral data. In addition, to investigate the effects of solvents and molecular structure upon acidity, the new nine compounds 4 were titrated potentiometrically with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in four non-aqueous […]

Abstract To enrich new evidence about the anti-fertility activity of seeds extract of papaya (Carica papaya L.) in test animals, especially mice. Male mice (n=20) were grouped into four. The first group received only distilled water containing 1% CMC as the control. Group 2, 3 and 4 consecutively received papaya seeds extract of 2, 4 […]

Abstract Plasma-derived medicinal products (PDMPs) are valuable group of medications which are used for prevention, control and treatment of several life-threatening diseases. Today, due to the increasing demand for PDMPs, the industrial scale production of these medicinal products has modified from those mainly based on cold ethanol fractionation, to combined consecutive processes including cryoprecipitation, ethanol […]

The samples were prepared by cleaning, washing, peeling and cutting into smaller sizes, dried for one month. The sample were powdered in Willey milled at 60 mesh size and […]

Abstract Proximate composition of flour from raw and Boil (defatted) samples of locust bean as well as its physicochemical composition of the oil extracted from the two samples were determined to know their potentials for industrial and human consumption without due fermentation method normally adopted for its consumption. The results revealed that the moisture content […]

Abstract Free radicals are risk factors that can lead to certain oral infections. The contributions of antioxidants is necessary to fight effectively against these free radicals, in the oral cavity. Plants being recognized as a source of natural antioxidants, chewing stick still used today in several developing countries can serve as a remedy to fight […]

Abstract Urate oxidase catalyzes the degradation of uric acid, a product of purine disintegration pathway, into allantoin, carbondioxide and hydrogen peroxide. Owing to its efficacious uricolytic activity, urate oxidase employed to treat hyperuricemia and gout. Urate oxidase enzyme has been isolated from a wide range of organisms, including plants, animals and microorganisms. This review catalogues […]

Abstract Background: The role of CRC is crucial for the success of clinical trials. However, a lot of health care providers are not fully aware of the roles and responsibilities of CRC. Purpose: To explore the awareness of health care providers in MENA region about roles and responsibilities of CRC. Method: A qualitative study was […]
