Hyperlipidemia is one of the most important factors leading to atherosclerosis and heart disease, therefore, this study conducted to examine the effect of two newly synthesized compounds[3-(5(ethylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-2-(3-nitrophenyl)benzo[1-3-e] thiazin-4-one (I) and 5(4dimethyl amino) benzylidene amino)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol(II)] on the activities of creatine kinase(CK) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl- CoA reductase (HMGR) in male Wister mice . Also to determine the type of inhibition of these compounds on the above enzymes .The study was carried out on sixty male Wister mice aged seven to eight weeks their weight ranged(180-200 g) . The mice were grouped as: group(1): control group (12 mice).Group(2):consisted of 48 mice in which the mice were daily administered cholesterol (25mg/kg/day) in coconut oil 6% and creamy cheese for 28 days. Lipid profile was measured for 12 of mice chosen randomely from G2 to assure hyperlipidemia. Then group2 is subdivided into three groups as:group (2.A): (12 mice) positive control group in which the mice were daily administered simvastatin (40mg /day) as standard drug for hyperlipidemia for 20 days.Group(2.B):(12 mice) in which the mice were daily treated with (10-4)M of compound (I)via drinking water for 20 days. Group(2.C):(12 mice) in which the mice were daily treated with (10-5)M of compound II via drinking water for 20 days.Lipid profile(Tch, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c and VLDL-c) were determined in all groups.The activities of CK and HMGR were determined in all groups. Lineweaver-Burk plot was used for determination of Vmax, Km and type of inhibition for treated and untreated groups with compounds I and II. The results showed significant elevation in levels of Tch, TG, LDL and VLDL, while there are significant reduction in HDL-c levels in G2 comparing to control group(G1), after administration of fat rich diet. Simvastatin, compound I with concentration (10-4M) and compound I The results revealed that the levels of Tch, TG, LDL and VLDL were reduced while the levels of HDL-c was elevated after administration of simvastatin, compound I and II in G2A, G2B and G2C respectively. The results showed that the activities of CK reduced for group G2B and G2C while it is increased for G2A . The results also showed that the activities of HMGR were reduced in the three groups. The effect of compound I on CK activity was found to be noncompetitive inhibitor with Vmax values values(1000and 166.6) U/L respectively for the uninhibited and inhibited reactions and Km value (0.6)mmol/L for compound I and with Vmax values (1000 and 250)U/L and Km value(0.84)mmol/L respectively for the uninhibited and inhibited reactions for compound II. Compounds I and II were found to be noncompetitive inhibitors on HMGR with Vmax values (0.83 and 0.16)U and Km value (0.34)mmol/L respectively for the uninhibited and inhibited reactions for compound I and Vmax values (0.83 and 0.35) U and Km value(0.28)mmol/L respectively for the uninhibited and inhibited reactions for compound II. In conclusion the new compounds(I and II) showed different inhibitory effect on CK and HMGR activities that could be used in treatment of hyperlipidemia and related disease in future.
This study was design to investigate the dimensional stability of heat-activated acrylic resin with different methods of flask cooling (15 minutes rapid cooling, one hour bench cooling, four hours delayed deflasking, and 24 hours delayed deflasking) at different time intervals (immediately, two days, seven days, 30 days) after deflasking. Heat-activated acrylic resin was used to prepare acrylic samples. Then, measurement of the distances where achieved between the centers of selected marks in the acrylic samples. They were measured at different time intervals for different methods of flask cooling. The results showed that the group samples of the four hours and 24 hours of delayed deflasking was insignificantly different from the control an

Background: preparation of root canals is an important step in root canal treatment. Mechanical instrumentation of root canals cause an irregular layer of debris, known as the smear layer. As a result, several studies reported that preferring the removal of the smear layer. Objective: To study the influence of the energy (100 mJ) of Erbium, Chromium: Yttrium Scandium Gallium Garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser at short pulse duration (60 μs) on smear layer removal of apical third after using Photon induced photoacoustic streaming technique. Materials and methods: Eighteen straight single-rooted mandibular premolars were used. The roots length were uniform to 14mm from the anatomic apex and

The effect of White Place Image ( Test Image ) A4 has been studied as a function of luminous intensity using the t tu un ng gs st te en n l la am mpp and web camera enet. It was found that the tungsten lamp gives almost even intensities for the three color band and lighting composite at low voltage .while at high voltage causes a fare from each other . The statistical characteristic(mean and stander deviation ) results for three colors composites RGB and lighting composites L showed that the mean and stander deviation increases with the increase of voltage possibly owing to the increase image resolution, which reflects the value of stander deviation for the blue band

The (GA)-based PID control design approach is a methodology to tune a (PID) controller in an optimal control sense with respect to specified objective function. By using the (GA)-based PID control approach, the high-performance trajectory tracking responses of the Piezoelectric Micropositioner stage can be obtained.

This proposed system is called an integrated Internet of things for electrical smart meter (2IOT-ESM) architecture. The electric smart meter (ESM) is the first and most important technique used to measure the active power, current, and energy consumption for the house’s loads. At the same time, the effectiveness of this work includes equipping ESM with an additional storage capacity that ensures that the measurements are not lost in the event of a failure or sudden outage in WiFi network. Then then these

Improved oral bioavailability of lipophilic substances can be achieved using self-emulsifying drug delivery systems. However, because the properties of self-emulsifying are greatly influenced by surfactant amount and type, type of oil used, droplet size, charge, cosolvents, and physiological variables, the synthesis of self-emulsifying is highly complex; consequently, only a small number of excipient self-emulsifying formulations has been developed so far for clinical use. This study reports a highly effective procedure for developing self-emulsifying formulations using a novel approach based on the hydrophilic-lipophilic difference theory. Microemulsion characteristics, such as the constituents and amounts of oil and surfactant electrolyte
