Coronary Revascularisation in Diabetic Patients Introduction Diabetes Mellitus (DM) increases the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) by two to four folds, which may manifest as a silent myocardial infarct in diabetic patients. It is therefore of no surprise that ischaemic coronary artery disease is responsible for ¾ of diabetes related deaths. The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis differs greatly in patients with diabetes, resulting in a more progressive and accelerated form of vascular disease

CYTOCHROME P450 2S1 Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are monooxygenase proteins that catalyze the metabolism of exogenous and endogenous substrates. CYPs function as enzymes and are found in all kingdoms of life. The P in P450 refers to pigment and 450nm refers to the wavelength of CYPs in solution exposed to carbon monoxide (CO). CYPs belong to the superfamily of proteins containing a heme (iron) cofactor active site. The heme active site is tethered to the CYP protein via thiolate ligand derived from

The oral bioavailability of captopril is 75%; the elimination half-life is less than 2 hours. Approximately 50% of the dose of captopril is excreted in the urine without any changes to the structure; the remaining 50% is converted into a disulfide dimer. For enalapril, the oral bioavailability is 60% and the elimination half-life is 11 hours. The metabolism and elimination of this form of the drug is done by hydrolyzing the compound to form a more portent compound, enalaprilat. After, no further metabolism

Introduction This thesis is related to the investigation of sequence polymorphism of HBx, an HBV oncogene; among non HCC individuals. Subsequently, a comparison is made between HBx sequences of this study and parallel study (HBx sequences from HCC patients). Finally, impact of this sequential polymorphism has been explored on the structure and function of HBx protein. 1.1. Background Hepatitis B is the inflammation of liver which may be self-limiting or leads to fibrosis, cirrhosis or even liver

Thyroid hormone is essential for the growth and maturation of many target tissues, including the brain and skeleton. As a result, abnormalities of thyroid gland function in infancy and childhood result not only in the metabolic consequences of thyroid dysfunction seen in adult patients, but in unique effects on the growth and /or maturation of these thyroid hormone-dependent tissues as well (Brown, 2012). The aim of this paper is to address development of thyroid disorders in the newborn and children

bolusing; however, when blood pressure was only obtainable manually and revealed that her blood pressure was 74/34, the decision was made to send the patient to the intensive care unit (ICU). There, coagulation studies revealed an elevated PT, PTT, D-dimer, and a decreased fibrinogen count. She received a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), a transfusion of two units of packed red blood cells (PRBCs), as well as cryoprecipitate therapy during her treatment in the ICU. Patient Characteristics

Title: Cloning of Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 in forward orientation into Escherichia Coli using histidine-tagged pbluescript II KS+. Abstract Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 locus is intensely over expressed in breast and prostate cancer and it’s been established that its promoter inhibition by p53 has led to reduced cell proliferation and invasion (Bracken, 2003; Xiao, 2011). Objective is to clone a forward orientated EZH2 insert into a his-tagged pbluescript. Cloning EZH2 into a histidine-tagged

Initially wine is made by crushing grapes to extract juice. From this stage the juice undergoes two main types of fermentation. Primary fermentation is the first stage and most active of fermentation, occurring under aerobic conditions.. Sucrose is a dimer (a molecule or molecular complex consisting of two identical molecules linked together) of glucose and fructose molecules. In the first step the enzyme invertase cleaves the glycosidic linkage between
