  • We Wish to Share That with You By
    T HE DEPARTMENT OF BIOENGINEERING The UCSD Bioengineering Program was initiated in 1966 by Drs. Y.C. Fung, Marcos Intaglietta, and Benjamin Zweifach within the Department of Aeronautical Mechanics and Engineering Science. In August 1994 the UC Office of the President approved our request to form a Department of Bioengineering, the first in the UC System. It is wonderful that our Department is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its establishment. While an age of 10 years is young, we had a gestation period of 28 years, which are covered in this book together with the last 10 years. At this momentous occasion, I wish to express my sincere thanks to all my colleagues: faculty, research scientists, staff and students, for their wonderful work as a team in making the Department such a marvelous place to be, both scientifically and interpersonally. On behalf of the Department, I also wish to take this opportunity to thank the generous support and strong encouragement by our friends everywhere in the country and our administration at UCSD and the UC system. Our friends and colleagues are extremely precious, much more than the diamond on the cover of this book*, which is a symbol that represents the tenth anniversary. Sincerely, Shu Chien Chair, Department of Bioengineering NNIVERSARY A * The preparations for this book and the celebration on August 14, 2004, have been made TH possible by the outstanding work by the following members of UCSD central administration, Jacobs School External Relations Office, and Department of Bioengineering (listed alphabetically): 10 Kelly Briggs, Suzie Dandos, Chandra Ewell. Jennifer Griffin, Denine Hagen, Irene Jacobo, Paul Laperruque, Beth Maples, Carolyn Post-Ladd, Jeff Sanchez, and Loretta Smith.

These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 20 December 2019; Accepted: 18 January 2020; Published: 20 January 2020 Abstract: Thrombin, a key enzyme of the serine protease superfamily, plays an integral role in the blood coagulation cascade and thrombotic diseases. In view of this, it is worthwhile to establish a method to screen thrombin inhibitors (such as natural flavonoid-type inhibitors) as well as investigate their structure activity relationships. Virtual screening using molecular docking technique was used to screen 103 flavonoids. Out of this number, 42 target compounds were selected, and their inhibitory effects on thrombin assayed by chromogenic substrate method. The results indicated that the carbon-carbon double bond group at the C2, C3 sites and the carbonyl group at the C4 sites of flavones were essential for thrombin inhibition, whereas the methoxy and O-glycosyl groups reduced thrombin inhibition.

The initiative called on “competing members of the ruling family and other leading figures” to stop interfering in the election through “political money” and other means that could influence the outcome of the parliamentary polls, allowing them to ensure the success of their “candidates” in the election. The initiative did not provide further details, but there have been increasing accusations that some influential fig- ures, in a bid to influence the outcome of the polls to serve their interests, have pumped millions of dinars into the process. Allegations of vote-buying and other forms of bribery and corruption have been repeatedly made, but very few people have been sent to court over such claims. The group consists of 20 personalities representing vari- ous political schools of thought and includes people like for- mer justice minister and deputy speaker Meshari Al-Anjari, veteran politician and former minister Yousef Al-Nasef, for- mer minister and MP Abdulwahab Al-Haroun, former minis- ter Abdulwahab Al-Wazzan and several other dignitaries.

  • Flavonoids: Structure–Function and Mechanisms of Action and Opportunities for Drug Development
    Toxicological Research Toxicol Res. eISSN 2234-2753 https://doi.org/10.1007/s43188-020-00080-z pISSN 1976-8257 INVITED REVIEW Flavonoids: structure–function and mechanisms of action and opportunities for drug development Stephen Safe1 · Arul Jayaraman2 · Robert S. Chapkin3 · Marcell Howard1 · Kumaravel Mohankumar1 · Rupesh Shrestha4 Received: 10 November 2020 / Accepted: 4 December 2020 © Korean Society of Toxicology 2021 Abstract Flavonoids are polyphenolic phytochemicals produced in fruits, nuts and vegetables and dietary consumption of these structurally diverse compounds is associated with multiple health benefts including increased lifespan, decreased cardio- vascular problems and low rates of metabolic diseases. Preclinical studies with individual favonoids demonstrate that these compounds exhibit anti-infammatory and anticancer activities and they enhance the immune system. Their efectiveness in both chemoprevention and chemotherapy is associated with their targeting of multiple genes/pathways including nuclear receptors, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), kinases, receptor tyrosine kinases and G protein-coupled receptors. However, despite the remarkable preclinical activities of favonoids, their clinical applications have been limited and this is due, in part, to problems in drug delivery and poor bioavailability and these problems are being addressed. Further improvements that will expand clinical applications of favonoids include mechanism-based precision medicine approaches which will identify critical mechanisms of action
