Use of homeo drug for curing ulcerative syndrome in fishes

Fungal infection was observed in Catla catla and Labeo rohita cultured in two private fish farms. The later stage of the infection resulted in ulcerations followed by haemorrhage on the dorsal surface of the body. Initially, usual treatments of copper sulphate, potassium permanganate and common salt solution were tried, but no improvement was observed. Then repeated intramuscular injections of homeopathic drug Heaper Sulpher and Arnica spray were given with encouraging results. Infection reported in another farm was also successfully controlled using a similar treatment.

Distribution of drug resistant luminous bacteria in penaeid shrimp grow-out ponds

Distribution of luminous bacteria (LB) in penaeid shrimp grow-out pond water in semiintensive seawater farming system and their resistance to 15 antibacterials were investigated. Total viable counts and luminous bacterial counts in pond water ranged from 2.00xl03 to 1.35xl04/ml and l.OOxl01 to 8.00Xl02/ml, respectively. The percentage composition of LB in the total viable population increased significantly with period of culture. Five species of LB such as Vibrio fischeri, V. harveyi, V. orientalis, V. splendidus 1 and Photobacterium leiognathi were encountered. V. harveyi was the dominant species, constituting >80% of the total LB. Multiple antibiotic resistance was more common in these LB. Pond water isolates showed resistance to at least four antibacterial agents.

S-DABO 类衍生物及AZT-氟喹喏酮类偶联物体外抗HIV 活性及机制研究

本论文由2 个相对独立的部分组成: S-DABO 类衍生物体外抗HIV 活性及 其机制研究和AZT－氟喹喏酮类偶联物体外抗HIV-1 活性及其机制研究。 HIV 逆转录酶抑制剂一直是抗HIV 药物研发的热点。该类抑制剂靶定在病 毒复制周期早期，为HAART 疗法提供了很多新的药物组合。目前FDA 批准上 市的逆转录酶抑制剂虽然有很多，但由于较严重的毒副作用、HIV 病毒易变异、 耐药性的出现等问题还需要开发更多的新的逆转录酶抑制剂。本论文对23 个 S-DABO 类化合物和8 个AZT－氟喹喏酮类偶联物的体外抗HIV 活性进行检 测，并对其中活性较高的化合物进行靶点和机制研究。 23 个S-DABO 类化合物采用对C8166 细胞的毒性试验，对HIV-1ⅢB 诱导的 合胞体形成的抑制试验和对HIV-1ⅢB 急性感染的MT-4 细胞的保护试验进行抗 HIV-1 活性初步筛选。试验结果发现所有化合物均对多种HIV 宿主细胞毒性小， 其中22 个化合物具有抗HIV-1 活性，特别是化合物RZK-4 和RZK-5，其对 HIV-1ⅢB 诱导的合胞体形成的SI 值（Selective index）分别为>16666 和>38462； RZK-4 和RZK-5 对HIV-1ⅢB 急性感染的MT-4 细胞的保护的SI 值分别为2666.67 和2150.54，与相应的阳性对照药品NVP（Nevirapine）的SI 值相接近。以p24 抗原水平为指标，对其中20 个化合物的抗HIV-1 活性进行确证，发现这20 个 化合物均能抑制 HIV-1ⅢB p24 抗原的产生，其中RZK-4 和RZK-5 的EC50 值分 别为5.93 和5.74ng/ml，比相应的阳性对照药品NVP（Nevirapine）的EC50 值 要低（27.3ng/ml）。这些化合物对试验株HIV-1MN、临床分离株HIV-1KM018、非 核苷类抑制剂耐药株HIV-1ⅢB A17 也有较好的抑制效果。但这23 个S-DABO 类化合物对HIV-2 病毒株均无抑制作用。通过检测化合物对感染与未感染细胞的 融合的抑制、对HIV-1 逆转录酶和蛋白酶活性的抑制、对慢性感染H9 细胞 （H9/HIV-1ⅢB）中病毒复制的抑制等试验来探讨化合物的抗HIV-1 机制。结果 显示：有20 个化合物对HIV-1 蛋白酶（PR）有抑制作用，其中有17 个化合物 对HIV-1 逆转录酶（RT）有抑制作用；但所有化合物均不能抑制感染与未感染 细胞的融合，也不能抑制慢性感染H9 细胞中病毒的复制。试验结果表明，这 23 个S-DABO 类化合物主要通过抑制HIV-1 逆转录酶来发挥作用，它们是典型 的非核苷类RT 抑制剂。 8 个AZT－氟喹喏酮类偶联物采用对C8166 细胞的毒性试验，对HIV-1ⅢB 诱导的合胞体形成的抑制试验和对HIV-1ⅢB急性感染的MT-4 细胞的保护试验 进行抗HIV-1 活性初步筛选。试验结果发现其中2 个化合物SRLZ 和SROZ 有 较显著的抗HIV-1 活性，其对HIV-1ⅢB诱导的合胞体形成抑制的SI 值分别为 >41667 和>105263；对HIV-1ⅢB 急性感染的MT-4 细胞的保护的SI 值分别为 30162 和 6368，与AZT（Zidothymidine）的SI 值相近似。以p24 抗原水平为 指标，对其抗HIV-1活性进行确证，发现化合物SRLZ和SROZ均能抑制HIV-1ⅢB p24 抗原的产生，其EC50 值分别为 0.71 和2.1ng/ml,比相应的阳性对照药品AZT 的EC50 值要低（3.5ng/ml）。化合物SRLZ 和SROZ 对临床分离株HIV-1KM018 也有较好的抑制活性，其EC50 值分别为1.4 和22ng/ml。通过检测化合物对慢 性感染H9 细胞（H9/HIV-1ⅢB）中病毒复制的抑制试验来探讨化合物的抗HIV-1 机制，结果表明化合物SRLZ 和SROZ 均不能抑制慢性感染H9 细胞中病毒的 复制。通过检测化合物对金黄色葡萄球菌的抑制作用来检测其抗菌活性，化合 物SRLZ 和SROZ 对金黄色葡萄球菌有较好的抑制作用，其MIC（Minimum inhibitory concentration）值分别为14.65 和7.32μg/ml，与其相应的阳性对照药 物的MIC 值相类似。试验结果表明：药物—药物偶连这种化学修饰方法并没有 改变AZT－氟喹喏酮类偶联物的抗HIV 作用靶点，但也没有较大地影响到其体 外抗病毒活性和抗微生物活性。

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 genotypic drug resistance among volunteer blood donors in Yunnan, China

BACKGROUND: Drug resistance profiles of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) in treatment-naive infections have been reported in developed countries. However, little is known in developing countries, including China, especially in treatment-naive volunt

Complete genomic sequences for hepatitis C virus subtypes 6e and 6g isolated from Chinese patients with injection drug use and HIV-1 co-infection

In one of our recent studies, two HCV genotype 6 variants were identified in patients from Hong Kong and Guangxi in southern China, with injection drug use and HIV-1 co-infection. We report the complete genomic sequences for these two variants: GX004 and

Abnormal regional homogeneity of drug-naive obsessive-compulsive patients

To explore the possible abnormal resting-state activity in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the regional homogeneity (ReHo) of 22 pairs of patients and well-matched healthy controls was calculated. Compared with controls, the patients showed higher ReHo in the left anterior cingulate cortex, but lower ReHo in the left inferior temporal gyrus. These findings supported the abnormal resting-state brain activity in drug-naive OCD patients. No significant correlations between ReHo value and four clinical characteristics were found, suggesting that abnormal ReHo might be trait-related in OCD.

Survey of veterinery [sic] drug residues, environmental contaminants and mycotoxins of cultured shirmp [sic] in Iran

Economical achievement of optimal growth in developing countries may lead to sustainable poverty reduction. Agricultural activities play an important role in economy and human being welfare, which leads to establishment of food security and quality. Aquaculture products in developing countries share 51.4 percent of total agricultural production.7—percent in developed countries. Therefore undoutedly food production by means of quality and quantity has to be increased .The history of shirmp production goes back to 500 years ago. Today 50 countries of the world produce shirmp .In Islamic Republic of Iran shrimp production started since 1992 in the coastal region of Persian Gulf. The shrimp culture farms canbe classified in to 4 different categories; Extensive, semi-extensive, intensive and super instensive. Global ecological manitenanc is one of the major concerns of authorities Human manipulation of nature is the most destructive activity. Industrial sweage leakage in to the rivers and water sources is a big issue that causes reduction in the aquatic population. Heavy metals have an inhibitory effect in the production and growth of sealife. Human intake of food treated with anti microbial cause's allergy, hypersensitivity and develops microbial resistance. Organochlorine compounds contamination may found in hepato pancreatic tissues of aquatic products, Aresnic may transfer to man via plant & animal product contamination. In 1991 during Persian Gulf Mir 700 oil well set
