4551Anticorruption
The book explores case studies of countries that have successfully managed to stem corruption, and the roles that the judicial system, auditors, ombudspersons, and the media can play in halting corruption. However, Rotberg argues, the essential ingredient to fighting corruption is a leader with the political will to tackle corruption, from whom judges, investigators, and others can take their cues. The book also explores the ways in which technology can stop corruption-moving bureaucratic processes online, for example, eliminates the possibility of being asked for a bribe. The book concludes with a thirteen-step recipe for anticorruption success.
4552Antifungal activity of oxidative damaging agents in combination with metal cations against Trichophyton rubrum isolated from a dermatological patient
Trichophyton rubrum is a causative agent responsible for human chronic dermatophytosis worlwide. It is a common causative agent of the dermatophyte infections and resistant to many antifungal drugs. Oxidative damaging agents belong to a strong antimicrobial group and have been intensively investigated. The synergistic oxidative damage can occur if the agents react with metal cations. Therefore, in this study the antifungal activity of formulas containing the two oxidative damaging agents, including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ), in combination with metal cations has been determined to examine the synergistic damage in T. rubrum isolated from the skin of a dermatological patient. The isolate was identified by morphology observations, biochemical tests and sequence analysis of ITS1-4 gene, in comparison with the similar ITS nucleotide sequences of others.

4554Antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of hypericum sampsonii
This study investigates the antioxidant activity and potential hepatoprotective of Hypericum sampsonii extract (BLD1 extract) in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro experiment was carried out with DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay to assess the antioxidant properties of BLD1 extract. In the in vivo experiment, the hepatoprotective activity of BLD1 extract was evaluated on an acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity mouse model. The in vitro assay demonstrated that the extract exhibited antioxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner. In the in vivo experiments, BLD1 extract at both doses (3.6 g/kg b.w day and 10.8 g/kg b.w day) reflected the decrease in serum ALT, AST and MDA level. Hepatic histology was also investigated post-mortem to assess the degree of liver injury. The overall findings of this study demonstrate the potential hepatoprotective effect of Hypericum sampsonii in acetaminophen-induced oxidative stress and liver toxicity in mice. This study has established the efficacy of Hypericum sampsonii, which should warrant further clinical trials and applications.
