This study is focused on providing nutrient contents information of the wild east Asian native species Predatory carp (Chanodichthys erythropterus). The specimens were collected from Lake Dianshan, Shanghai-China. The body muscles of randomly selected fish species were dried at 105 °C in an oven and used for biochemical analysis. Protein, carbohydrate, ash, and moisture contents found in the experimental fish and their proportions were 48.7%, 14.1%, 5.1%, and 9.4%, respectively. Methionine is the major essential acid determined whiles Alanine was also the abundant for non-essential amino acids although ten of the most e...

Central neurocytoma of the third ventricle: Case report and treatment review
Publication date: Available online 8 August 2017 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): Mehjabeen Marri, Iftikhar Ahmad, Khushnaseeb Ahmad, Zoonish Ashfaq Central neurocytoma is a rare tumor of neuronal differentiation which is typically seen in young adults. Here, we report a case of a 25years old female patient who presented with central neurocytoma of the third ventricle. Sub-total resection of the tumor was carried out via left parieto-occipital craniotomy. Afterwards, the patient received conventional radiotherapy (i.e., 54Gy/27 fractions). We observed marked improvement in terms of tum...

Azoreductase kinetics and gene expression in the synthetic dyes-degrading Pseudomonas
In this study, two 16S rRNA identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial isolates (ASU3 and ASU6) have been screened to enzymatically degrade both Disperse Blue 64 (DB64) and Acid Yellow 17 (AY17) which resembles 2 of the synthetic dyes that causes aquatic environmental pollution. The expression of the azoR1 gene has been detected in the strains, the degradation percentage of DB64 and AY17 by stain ASU6 was found to exceed the ASU3. This returned to the differences in the expression levels of azoR1 between the ASU6 and the ASU3 which was confirmed by RT-PCR. In addition, the specific activity (U/mg protein) of azoreductase ...

Anti-cancer potential of a mix of natural extracts of turmeric, ginger and garlic: A cell-based study
This study was designed to investigate the aqueous natural extracts mixture (NE mix) prepared from common spices turmeric, ginger and garlic for its free radical scavenging potential and anti-cancer property against human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, ZR-75 and MDA-MB 231). Qualitative analysis of their bioactive constituents from turmeric, ginger and garlic were done using liquid chromatography-ESI- mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). To the best of our knowledge, NE mix with and without Tamoxifen has not been tested for its anti-cancer potential. We observed that the NE mix induced apoptosis in all the breast cancer cel...

Effect of celecoxib and cisplatin combination on apoptosis and cell proliferation in a mouse model of chemically-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci
This study investigates a possible synergistic function for celecoxib in cisplatin-based chemotherapy against chemically-induced colon carcinogenesis in mice. Mice received fifteen injections of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (DMH; 20mg/kg/week), s.c. to induce colon carcinogenesis and the normal control group received equal volumes of normal saline. Mice were randomly divided into five groups, (I) normal control group, (II) DMH control group (III) DMH+cisplatin (4mg/kg/week, i.p.) group, (IV) DMH+celecoxib (10mg/kg/day by gavage) group and (V) DMH+cisplatin+celecoxib group.
