    ORs and 95% CI of the association between SVR and hyperglycemia.

    No full text
    <p>SVR was associated with a lower risk of hyperglycemia in chronic HCV patients (OR = 0.497; 95% CI 0.421–0.587). There was no evidence of substantial between-study heterogeneity.</p

    <p>Hyper/SVR: the risk of hyperglycemia in CHC patients who acquired sustained virological responses; NOR/SVR: data of normal glucose in CHC patients who acquired sustained virological responses; Hyper/NONSVR: the risk of hyperglycemia in CHC patients who did not acquire sustained virological responses; NOR/NONSVR: data of normal glucose in CHC patients who did not acquire sustained virological responses; OR: odds ratio; HR: hazard ratio; NR: not reported.</p

    Viral infectivity detection of supernatant DENV in Huh7-BST2 and Huh7-BST2CV5 cells.

    No full text
    <p>The viral infectivity of supernatant DENV was determined by TCID50 method. The cells were infected with DENV at indicated MOI for 1 h; the media were replaced with complete media and cultured for 2 days. Dengue E protein was assayed by A cell-based flavivirus immunodetection assay. The values represent average from 3 independent experiments (n = 3). <i>p</i> values were calculated using Student's t test.</p

    In-cell western analysis for DENV infection in Huh7-BST2 and Huh7-BST2CV5 cells.

    <p>Cells were infected with DENV at indicated MOI and cultured for 2 days with complete medium. Cells were fixed and double-staining of DENV 4G2 protein and BST2 were revealed by In-Cell western assay. The indicated gray values of the dots were quantified by using of an Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biotechnology). The values represent average from 3 independent experiments.</p

    <p>Cells were infected with DENV at indicated MOI and harvested on day 2. Cells were double-stained for DENV envelope protein 4G2 (top panel, green) and BST2 (middle panel, red). Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (bottom panel, blue).</p

    Tricyclic Sesquiterpenes from Marine Origin

    No full text
    The structure elucidation, biosynthesis, and biological activity of marine carbotricyclic sesquiterpene compounds are reviewed from the pioneering results to the end of 2015. Their total syntheses with a particular emphasis on the first syntheses, enantiomeric versions, and syntheses that led to the revision of structures or stereochemistries are summarized. Overall, 284 tricyclic compounds are classified into fused, bridged, and miscellaneous structures based on 54 different skeletal types. Tricyclic sesquiterpenes constitute an important group of natural products. Their structural diversity and biological activities have generated further interest in the field of drug discovery research, although the exact mechanisms of action of these species are not well known. Furthermore, these tricyclic structures, according to their chemical complexity, are a source of inspiration for chemists in the field of total synthesis for the development of innovative methodologies
