Synthesis of indole and oxindole derivates incorporating pyrrolidino, pyrrolo or imidazolo moieties
(2004-11-26)
-chloroacrylonitrile yielded, after expulsion of HCN by refluxing in ethanol, 1-benzyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole. Formylation and benzylimine formation followed by treatment with TosMIC furnished the desired 2-imidazolyltetrahydroindole....
Experimental therapeutic angiogenesis after myocardial infarction : efficacy of different angiogenic factors and delivery methods
(2006-03-17)
Angiogenesis, the stimulation of vessel growth, is a promising therapy in ischemic heart disease. A wealth of evidence has shown that several growth factors can induce neovascularization in ischemic models. However, the ...
Xenobiotics-induced phosphorylations of MDM2
(2006-11-24)
The aim of the present study was to characterize the Mdm2 and p53 responses induced by DNA damaging xenobiotics and how these responses can be modified by non-genotoxic xenobiotics. During control conditions cellular levels ...
Drug use in the elderly : are quantity and quality compatible
(2006-05-12)
with 75-79 years, and there was also lower use by those living in institutions compared to community-living: 0.28 (0.09-0.91). Other quality issues were fairly frequent use of calcium channel blockers with negative inotropic effects, and of NSAIDs...

(2006-11-22)
Accumulating evidence suggests that hyperinsulinemia, in the context of insulin resistance, is associated with carcinogenesis. Physical activity is involved in the regulation of metabolic and hormonal pathways and is an ...
Leukocyte transmigration and gene expression in healthy subjects and patients with renal failure-application of the skin chamber technique
(2006-04-20)
The migration of leukocytes from the peripheral circulation into infected or injured tissue is a fundamental step in the host-defense mechanism. The skin chamber technique is a well documented method for studies of leukocyte ...

Kinetics of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations in vivo
(2006-03-10)
Antiretroviral therapy (ARV) exert a selective pressure on HIV-1 and may select viral drug resistant strains which have competitive advantage in the presence of the drug. Knowledge about the appearance and disappearance ...
