Abstract
Etoposide (ETP) is one of the leading antitumour agents in cancer chemotherapy. Many studies have reported on ETP-induced peripheral neuropathy; however, few reports have focused on its brain toxicity. The current research investigates the protective potential of taurine, piracetam and vinpocetine on serum biomarkers associated with inflammation and brain injury induced by ETP in a rodent model. A total of 30 female albino rats were equally divided into five groups; the 1st and 2nd groups were the control and ETP-treated groups, respectively, while the 3rd, 4th and 5th groups were ETP-treated rats cotreated with taurine, piracetam and vinpocetine, respectively. Administration of ETP reduced body weight significantly, enhanced production of serum proinflammatory cytokines including tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-6 and decreased glutathione serum levels. Moreover, ETP treatment resulted in upregulation of glial fibrillary acidic protein expression and histopathological alterations in the rats' brain compared to the control group. Co-treatment with taurine, piracetam and vinpocetine counteracted ETP-induced brain injury and altered serum biomarkers levels. We concluded that co-treatment with vinpocetine could serve as a complementary therapeutic agent in reducing brain injury and toxicity induced by ETP.

Abstract
Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a member of the Interleukin-17 family, which belongs to the pro-inflammatory cystine-knot cytokines. Recent studies on the etiology of breast cancer have focused on the role of immunity and inflammation. The pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-17A can medicate cancer-related inflammation. The present study aimed to analyze the mutation in physicochemical properties and structure of the Interleukin-17 A gene in developing breast cancer using bioinformatics methods. A total of 60 blood samples were obtained from Iraqi women aged 25 to 75 with breast cancer. Twenty blood samples were obtained from healthy women in the same age range as a control group. Deletion and missense mutations detected by BLAST in samples with breast cancer. The present study determined the physicochemical properties of IL-17A such as hydrophilic nature, alpha-helical and 3D structure. The results of this study indicated that IL-17A is considered a marker for a patient with breast cancer. Also, mutations in the IL-17A gene affect the structure and physicochemical properties of the IL-17A protein complex.

Abstract
Background Tuberculosis infection among health care workers is capable of worsening the existing health human resource problems of low - and middle-income countries. Tuberculosis infection control is often weakly implemented in these parts of the world therefore, understanding the reasons for poor implementation of tuberculosis infection control guidelines are important. This study was aimed at assessing tuberculosis infection control practices and barriers to its implementation in Ikeja, Nigeria. Methods A cross-sectional study in 20 tuberculosis care facilities (16 public and 4 private) in Ikeja, Lagos was conducted. The study included a facility survey to assess the availability of tuberculosis infection control guidelines, the adequacy of facilities to prevent transmission of tuberculosis and observations of practices to assess the implementation of tuberculosis infection control guidelines. Four focus group discussions were carried out to highlight HCWs’ perceptions on tuberculosis infection control guidelines and barriers to its implementation. Results The observational study showed that none of the clinics had a tuberculosis infection control plan. No clinic was consistently screening patients for cough. Twelve facilities (60 %) consistently provided masks to patients who were coughing. Ventilation in the waiting areas was assessed to be adequate in 60 % of the clinics while four clinics (20 %) possessed N-95 respirators. Findings from the focus group discussions showed weak managerial support, poor funding, under-staffing, lack of space and not wanting to be seen as stigmatizing against tuberculosis patients as barriers that hindered the implementation of TB infection control measures. Conclusion Tuberculosis infection control measures were not adequately implemented in health facilities in Ikeja, Nigeria. A multi-pronged approach is required to address the identified barriers to the implementation of tuberculosis infection control guidelines.

Acaricidal properties of two extracts from Guiera senegalensis J.F. Gmel. (Combrataceae) against Hyalomma anatolicum (Acari: Ixodidae). Vet Parasitol 2013; 199:201-5. [PMID: 24315188 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetpar.2013.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2012] [Revised: 11/03/2013] [Accepted: 11/12/2013] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Laboratory test were carried out on eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults of Hyalomma anatolicum to determine the acaricidal activities of petroleum ether (PE) and crude ethanolic extracts (EE) from the leaves of Guiera senegalensis J.F. Gmel. (Combrataceae) using immersion method. Stock solutions, of 300 mg/ml (30%) of the each two extract, were prepared. Six two-fold serial dilutions each with three replicates were used. Both extracts, at the highest concentration 150 mg/ml (15%), induced 100% failure of hatching of the treated eggs. The concentrations of PE and EE that induced 50% inhibition of the hatchability (IC50) were 1.71 and 0.508%, respectively. In the larval immersion test (LIT), EE at 15% concentration caused complete mortality while the same concentration of PE resulted in 96% mortality. The mortalities increased with concentrations. There was a correlation between the mortalities and increased concentrations, the values of the linear correlation coefficient (r) for PE and EE were 0.93 and 0.79, and The LC50 and LC99 were 2.08 and 14.09, and 0.787 and 11.054, respectively. At the concentrations of 3.75%, 7.5% and 15%, PE inhibited the molting of the nymphs by 40, 55 and 65%, respectively, while EE induced 46.49, 64.3 and 71.4% inhibition, respectively. The effectiveness of the treatment against unfed adult females was assessed by measuring the feeding performance and egg production using adult immersion test (AIT). Although, there was no mortality in unfed adults, PE and EE inhibited feeding and egg-laying of the survived females by 35-100% and 6.16-100%, respectively. Our results indicated that G. senegalensis is a promising biocontrol candidate as an acaricidal agent against H. anatolicum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although Nigeria has the highest burden of sickle cell disease (SCD) worldwide, there is still variable and poor utilisation of standard-of-care practices for SCD patients in the country. METHODS This was a questionnaire survey of doctors in some dedicated SCD clinics in Nigeria in order to document the facilities available and common management practices. RESULTS There were responses from 18 clinics based in 11 institutions. The number of patients being followed in each centre ranged from 15 to approximately 11 000. All clinics provided malaria prophylaxis and folic acid routinely to their patients. Only eight clinics prescribe penicillin prophylaxis. Eight prescribe hydroxyurea to patients who can afford it when indicated. All of the centres except three have electronic cell counters, but all had access to haemoglobin electrophoresis. Three had high-performance liquid chromatography machines installed but none was being routinely used. One institution had a functioning molecular biology laboratory. There is no official newborn screening programme in the country. All had access to microbiology and chemistry laboratories. Nine institutions had CT, six had MRI and three had transcranial Doppler facilities. CONCLUSION The care available for SCD in Nigeria is still suboptimal and there is an urgent need for concerted effort to tackle the problem, but to make a significant impact on the burden of the disease would require more focus at the primary care level. Some steps to achieving this are outlined.

The influence of temperature and humidity on oviposition and hatchability of Amblyomma lepidum (Dönitz, 1808) (Acarina: Ixodidae) under laboratory conditions. Vet Parasitol 2010; 170:344-7. [PMID: 20434269 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetpar.2010.02.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2009] [Revised: 02/21/2010] [Accepted: 02/24/2010] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
The effect of temperature and humidity on the oviposition and hatchability of Ablyomma lepidum was studied. Above 90% of adult ticks applied on calves succeeded to attach and feed through 6-13 days. The development process was studied under three levels of temperature: 27, 35 and 40 degrees C, each level with five sets of humidity. Temperature rather than humidity affected all developmental parameters. It was found that high temperature of 40 degrees C, even at high humidity 75.5-97.8% significantly affected pre-oviposition, oviposition, pre-hatching periods, egg mass weight and egg conversion ratio (p<or=0.0001), hatching period and hatchability (p<or=0.05). The effect of humidity on the pre-hatching period and hatchability was highly significant (p<or=0.0001), while it was less significant on pre-oviposition and hatching periods (p<or=0.05). It could be concluded that the development process is influenced by the interaction of both temperature and humidity. However, humidity above 90% and temperature range of 27-35 degrees C seem to be the optimum requirements for ideal development of A. lepidum.

Abstract
According to this study, the effect of seasonality on the development of larvae and nymphs of Amblyomma lepidum was highly significant (P< or =0.001). The moulting of larvae was only possible in the rainy season, where means of 76.8 and 73.1% were recorded in the first and the second year, respectively. Nymphs, in the same period, achieved 68.8 and 71.8% moult. In winter, only 11.8 and 12.2% of nymphs succeeded to moult in the first and the second year, respectively. Males outnumbered females, but the effect of seasonality on the male/female ratio was statistically insignificant. The development of both stages in summer was unsuccessful.

Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Theileria annulata, Theileria mutans, Babesia bigemina, and Anaplasma marginale antibodies among cattle in the Sudan. A total of 600 serum samples were collected from indigenous (zebu) and crossbred cattle (zebu x Friesian) of both sex and different age groups. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to assess antibodies against tick-borne diseases in apparently healthy cattle. The overall prevalence rates of T. annulata, T. mutans, B. bigemina, and A. marginale antibodies were found to be 30.8%, 6.1%, 10.7%, and 38.9%, respectively. The highest seroprevalence of T. annulata was reported in Atbara and El Damer, Northern Sudan. There were no significant associations for the seroprevalence of all tick-borne diseases reported among different age groups. Although there were no significant differences between the two breeds of cattle examined for T. annulata, T. mutans, and B. bigemina antibodies, there was a significant difference for prevalence of antibodies against A. marginale, with highest percentages of antibodies in indigenous cattle. Six different combinations of mixed infection were detected. This is the first report in which antibodies against A. marginale among cattle in Northern Sudan is reported. The findings imply that antibodies to tick-borne infections are widely distributed in the region. The need for further investigations using more advanced techniques is recommended.

Abstract
We hypothesized that very brief episodes of hypoxia (<1 min) would evoke long-term facilitation (LTF) in individuals free of inspiratory flow limitation (IFL). We studied 12 healthy participants who were self-reported non-snorers and confirmed the absence of IFL. We induced 15 brief episodes of hypoxia during non-REM sleep, reducing arterial oxygen saturation to 84-85%, followed by 1 min of room air. Ventilatory variables and resistance were measured during the control period, hypoxic trials, room air controls, and for 20 min following the last hypoxic episode. There was a significant increase in minute ventilation (108+/-1.3% of control, P < 0.05) and tidal volume (105+/-1.7% of control, P < 0.05) and a significant decrease in upper airway resistance (88+/-9.8% control, P < 0.05) during the recovery period. However, there were no significant changes in any variable during sham studies. We have shown for the first time that LTF can be elicited in sleeping humans free of IFL.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction and damage are systemic processes that are recognised to play a central role in the pathogenesis of hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Renal failure is associated with impaired endothelium dependent vasodilatation that is partly a consequence of increased circulating levels of asymmetric dimethyl arginine. Endothelial dysfunction persists, although it is improved, after renal transplantation. Statins appear to improve endothelial dysfunction, as does withdrawal of calcineurin inhibitors, although there is no evidence that these strategies improve patient or graft survival. The situation in transplant recipients is complicated by the fact that endothelial dysfunction (within the graft vasculature) may be a separate process contributing to chronic allograft nephropathy and to circulating levels of endothelial cells and their components, thus limiting the utility of circulating markers of endothelial damage in this population.

Abstract
Genomic rearrangements in the 5' part of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) have been involved in multidrug resistance to nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTI). We carried out a retrospective, multicenter study to investigate the prevalence, variability, and phenotypic consequences of such rearrangements. Data concerning the HIV-1 RT genotype and the biological and clinical characteristics of NRTI-treated patients were collected from 10 virology laboratories. Sensitivities of the different HIV-1 variants to RT inhibitors were analyzed in a single-cycle recombinant virus assay. Fifty-two of 2,152 (2.4%) RT sequences had a rearrangement in the 5' part of the RT, with an extensive molecular variation. The number of codons inserted between positions 68 and 69 ranged from 1 (3 samples) or 2 (41 samples) to 5 and 11 in one case each. In four cases, codon 67 was deleted. High levels of phenotypic resistance to zidovudine (AZT), lamivudine (3TC), stavudine (d4T), abacavir (ABC), and didanosine (ddI) were found in 95, 92, 72, 62, and 15% of the 40 samples analyzed, respectively. Resistance to AZT, d4T, and ABC could be found in the absence of the T215Y/F mutations. Resistance to 3TC could develop in the absence of specific mutations. Low-level resistance to ddI was noticed in 40% of the patients. The deletions of codon 67 seemed to have little effect on NRTI sensitivity. Most of the rearrangements were shown to contribute to cross-resistance to NRTI. The results regarding susceptibility to ddI raise the question of the interpretation of the phenotypic data concerning this drug.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the antiviral activity, effect on CD4 cell count, and tolerability of didanosine (ddI) administered once daily and twice daily in HIV-1-infected patients receiving ddI with stavudine or zidovudine, with or without a protease inhibitor. The study was designed to demonstrate that once-daily dosing of ddI was not inferior to twice-daily dosing. DESIGN Randomized, open-label, multicenter, two-arm study. PATIENTS AND METHODS 121 HIV-1-infected adults on a stable regimen including ddI (twice daily) during the previous 3 months with a stable viral load <10,000 copies/ml started therapy. Of these, 62 were randomized to switch to a combination that included ddI once daily and 59 to continue with ddI twice daily. The ddI dose was 400 mg/day (250 mg/day if body weight was <60 kg). The primary efficacy analysis compared the time-averaged difference (TAD) between the two treatment regimens in change from baseline log10 plasma HIV-1 RNA levels over 24 weeks of therapy, with an equivalence margin between the two treatment groups of <0.5 log10 copies/ml. RESULTS At week 24, the mean plasma HIV-1 RNA level had increased by 0.31 and 0.17 log10 copies/ml in the ddI once-daily and ddI twice-daily groups, respectively. The time-averaged difference between the two groups in change from baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA levels over 24 weeks was (0.05 log10 copies/ml (95% confidence interval, -0.21 to +0.12 log10 copies/ml), indicating that the antiviral activity of ddI once daily is similar to that of ddI twice daily. After 24 weeks of treatment, changes from baseline in CD4 cell counts were similar in the two groups. Both regimens were generally well-tolerated. CONCLUSIONS Once-daily and twice-daily ddI are equally effective at reducing plasma HIV-1 RNA levels when used in a combination regimen with stavudine or zidovudine, with or without a protease inhibitor.

Abstract
Three hundred and thirty-four cases of confirmed malaria seen in the Asir Central Hospital, Abha, in southwestern Saudi Arabia, were studied retrospectively. Two hundred and eighty-two of these (84.4%) were Saudis and the majority (72.2%) were living in the lowlands of Tihama. Transmission was found to occur throughout the year, with peaks following the rainy season and in the summer. In Saudis, falciparum malaria is more common than vivax (97.2% vs. 2.8%), while vivax malaria is more commonly seen in expatriates (46.2%). Poor response of falciparum malaria to chloroquine was more prevalent in expatriates than in Saudis (46.4% vs. 23%). Most of the expatriates gave a history of recent travel to countries known to be endemic with resistant malaria. The possibility of the emergence of chloroquine-resistant malaria in the southwestern region of Saudi Arabia was discussed.

Abstract
The Southern Region renal transplant program was established in February 1989. The appointment of a transplant co-ordinator and creation of a waiting list for the Southern Region as well as tissue typing of all patients in the region were important early steps. Between February 1989 and December 1995, 155 transplants were performed on 152 patients at the Armed Forces Hospital, Southern Region (AFHSR). Of them, 52 were cadaveric donor transplants and the remaining were from living related donors. The overall five-year actuarial patient and graft survival was 93% and 78% respectively. Of the 152 patients who were transplanted, 79 patients were from other hospitals in the region and 73 were from AFHSR. Maintenance immunosuppression consisted of cyclosporin, azathioprine and prednisolone. Use of the spouse as a donor was an early feature of this program. Our results compare favorably with results published from other centers. To cope with the increasing demand of transplantation in the Southern Region, we have to look into ways of increasing our transplant numbers to match the needs.
