Materials And Methods: EE, ME, and AE of were prepared. Various biological activities such as total phenolic, anthocyanin, and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant (2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl ferrous ion-chelating, and ferric reducing antioxidant power assays), α-glucosidase inhibitory, anti-inflammatory, and DNA protective properties of these extracts were studied.

Our aim is to investigate syphilis coinfection and to evaluate the compatibility of the screening Architect Syphilis Tp ELISA with the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-abs) confirmation test in HIV positive cases.
Materials And Methods: Totally 519 HIV positive patients were included in the study.
Background: Serological methods have great importance for the detection of Treponema pallidum antibodies in syphilis diagnosis. The goal of the present study is to evaluate various commercially available screening assays in comparison with the FTA-abs test.
Methods: A total of 363 serum samples were enrolled in the study.
