Analysis of Genes and Genomes


Analysis of Genes and Genomes is a clear introduction to the theoretical and practical basis of genetic engineering, gene cloning and molecular biology. All aspects of genetic engineering in the post-genomic era are covered, beginning with the basics of DNA structure and DNA metabolism. Using an example-driven approach, the fundamentals of creating mutations in DNA, cloning in bacteria, yeast, plants and animals are all clearly presented.
Newer technologies such as DNA macro and macroarrays, proteomics and bioinformatics are introduced in later chapters helping students to analyse and understand the vast amounts of data that are now available through genome sequence and function projects.
Aimed at students with a basic knowledge of the molecular side of biology, this will be invaluable to those looking to better understand the complexities and capabilities of these important new technologies.
A modern post-genome era introduction to key techniques used in genetic engineering.
An example driven past-to-present approach to allow the experiments of today to be placed in an historical context
Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout.

Local Drug Delivery for Coronary Artery Disease


Restenosis remains the Achilles heel of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions. Numerous pharmacological agents have been tested in order to reduce acute thrombosis and the hyperproliferative cellular response, and drug eluting stents-using the stent as a platform for local drug delivery-are now considered a significant breakthrough in interventional cardiology. Pioneers in the field, the editors of Local Drug Delivery for Coronary Artery Disease have assembled an excellent team of contributors who offer their experience with threatened vessel closure and restenosis, acute thrombosis, hyperproliferative cellular response, stents and local drug delivery. They share their expertise on all aspects of the field, including a discussion of results from preclinical and clinical studies, and they examine alternative methods of molecular delivery to the vessel wall. With coverage of the most current methods and applications, as well as a host of photographs illustrating their implementation, this book will serve as an excellent reference for cardiologists, pharmacologists, cardiac surgeons, and trainees.


Statins: The HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors in Perspective


Building upon the foundation set in the first edition, Statins: The HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors in Perspective examines existing and emerging statins and their beneficial effectiveness in reducing serum cholesterol. The breadth of coverage and depth of information in this book provide an authoritative guide to statins from their discovery through the major clinical trials to the present and explores the future of statin trials and lipid-lowering therapy beyond statins. The book tells the story of statins, for the most part in the words of those who lived it. The major clinical trials from Scandinavia, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Scotland are detailed by those who conducted them. The book includes information on the pharmacology and mechanisms of action, the statin angiographic trials, the use of statins after vascular surgery, guidelines for the use of the statins in clinical practice, and the cost-effectiveness of statin therapy. New chapters cover combination therapy in lipid-lowering, new 'Megatrials' (HPS and PPP), and the PROSPER study.

کنترل مقدار و زمان آزاد شدن دارو در بدن با نانوتکنولوژی

محققان آمریکایی می گویند توانسته اند قدرت ذرات طلا در ابعاد نانو را مهار کنند و با آن روشی بهتر برای انتقال دارو به محل تحت درمان در بدن انسان ارائه دهند.
ذرات طلا در ابعاد نانو که اشکال متفاوت دارند، قادرند داروهای مختلف را در داخل بدن حمل کنند.
گروه محققان انستیتو تکنولوژی ماساچوست (MIT)، نتیجه تحقیقات خود را در نشریه "ای سی ان نانو" چاپ کرده و در این گزارش همچنین آورده است که با استفاده از این روش جدید داروها فقط در نقطه ای از بدن فعال می شوند که به نوعی بیماری (مثلا سرطان)، مبتلا شده است؛ با این روش همچنین می توان مقدار دارویی را که جذب بدن می شود، تحت کنترل داشت.
روش جدید بر این اساس پایه گذاری شده که هر ذره مختلف از طلا (در ابعاد نانو)، در سطح متفاوتی از نور مادون قرمز ذوب می شود و به همین دلیل داروهای متفاوت را می توان با ذرات متفاوت طلا در بدن آزاد کرد.
یکی از مزایای انتقال مستقیم دارو به نقطه ای خاص از بدن این است که پزشکان می توانند داروهایی که نسبتا مسمویت زا هستند را بدون واهمه از آسیب رساندن به سلول های سالم به محل تمرکز بیماری منتقل کنند.
در شماری از آزمایش ها نشان داده شده است که می توان از ذرات در ابعاد نانو، که گاه به کوچکی یک نانو متر یا یک میلیاردم متر است، برای انتقال مستقیم دارو به محل تومور استفاده و از عوارض جانبی که شیمی درمانی معمولا به همراه دارد، اجتناب کرد.
نور نزدیک به مادون قرمز به بدن تابیده می شود که پس از نفوذ از پوست به محل تومور می رسد. حرارت این نور وقتی به حد نصاب برسد ذرات طلا آب و دارو آزاد می شود.
انتقال دارو در نوبت های مختلف
اما بیماری هایی مانند سرطان و اچ آی وی/ایدز معمولا به درمان های پیچیده نیاز دارند و داروها باید در نوبت های متفاوت به بیمار داده شود.
وسیله ای که توسط محققان ام آی تی ساخته شده است شامل دو ذره نانو به اشکال مختلف است که نقطه ذوب مختلف دارند و می توانند داروها را به طور کنترل شده در بدن آزاد کنند.
اندی ویجایا، از محققان این گروه می گوید: "ما فقط با کنترل کردن امواج نور مادون قرمز می توانیم زمان آزاد شدن مواد دارویی در بدن بیمار را تنظیم کنیم."
این وسیله به طور نظری می تواند با ایجاد ذرات با اشکال مختلف تا چهار داروی مختلف را حمل کند.
کت آرنی، از بنیاد مطالعات سرطان بریتانیا، می گوید که "ذرات نانو در تحقیقات درباره سرطان موضوعی بسیار جالب توجه بوده چون این ذرات می توانند مستقیما تومورها را هدف قرار دهند و شمار زیادی از داروها را به این موضع از بدن منتقل کنند."
خانم آرنی افزود: "روش جدید خیلی هوشمندانه است چون به این معنی است که شمار متفاوتی از داروهای متفاوت را در بدن آزاد می کند. اما این تحقیق با این که مهیج است هنوز در مراحل اولیه خود قرار دارد و هنوز برای درمان بیماران قابل استفاده نیست."
