Aprotinin abolishes sevoflurane postconditioning by inhibiting nitric oxide production and phosphorylation of protein kinase C-delta and glycogen synthase kinase 3beta.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: It remains controversial whether aprotinin use during cardiac surgery is cardioprotective or detrimental. In contrast, volatile anesthetics may offer cardioprotection perioperatively. Increased nitric oxide, protein kinase C activation, ... Read more...

Protection from herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2 infection with replication-defective HSV-2 or glycoprotein D2 vaccines in HSV-1-seropositive and HSV-1-seronegative guinea pigs.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: A herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2 candidate vaccine consisting of glycoprotein D (gD2) in alum and monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) reduced genital herpes disease in HSV-1-seronegative women but not in men or HSV-1-seropositive women. METHODS: ... Read more...

Biphasic kill curve of isoniazid reveals the presence of drug-tolerant, not drug-resistant, Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the guinea pig.

29 Sep 2009 The marked reduction in the potent early bactericidal activity of isoniazid during the initial phase of antituberculosis (anti-TB) therapy has been attributed not only to the depletion of logarithmically growing bacilli but also to the emergence of ... Read more...
