    In previous studies we observed an enhanced anti-inflammatoryactivity of MPEG-SOD derivatives in acute inflammation in rat. To assess the activity in chronic inflammation we tested the compound with longer half-life (MPEG-SOD 18) in complete adjuvantarthritis in rat. According to the prophylactic schedule of treatment (i.m. administration at alternative days of 10 mg/kg from day 3 to day 21), the MPEG-SOD derivative reduced arthritic lesions in a significant way (P<0.01 at 14th, 21st, 28th day). Indomethacin, administered i.m. daily at the dose of 1.5 mg/kg according to the same schedule, significantly inhibited adjuvantarthritis each time it was considered (% of inhibition are 66.5% at 14th day, 58.3% at 21st day and 50.8% at 28th day). Native SOD and inactivated enzyme, administered from day 3 to day 21 did not show any anti-inflammatory properties. According to the therapeutic schedule of treatment (from day 14 to day 28), neither MPEG-SOD nor native SOD showed antiarthritic activit

    The consumption of tea originated in Asia thousands of years ago and was introduced progressively all around the world. In the literature there are some reports of adverse hepatic reaction associated to green tea. We describe and discuss a case of acute hepatitis caused by the use of green tea infusion

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
