Characterization of anthocyanin from red sorghum () bran by liquid chromatography-electron spray ionization mass spectrometry analysis.

In the present study, anthocyanin pigments from red sorghum () bran were identified and characterized by Liquid Chromatography-Electron Spray Ionization Mass Spectrometry. The individual anthocyanins were identified by comparing their mass spectrometric data and retention times, published data. 3-deoxyanthocyanidins and methyl 3-deoxyanthocyanidins were identified in red sorghum bran.

The antiproliferative activity of 3-deoxyanthocyanins extracted from red sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) bran through P(53)-dependent and Bcl-2 gene expression in breast cancer cell line.

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the anti proliferative activity of 3-deoxyanthocyanin extracted from red sorghum bran on human breast cancer cell line MCF 7. The confirmatory tests were carried out in vitro through the expression studies of p(53) and (bcl) 2 genes in MCF 7 cells.

Method: The 3-deoxyanthocyanins were isolated from red sorghum bran and cytotoxic studies were performed in MCF 7 cell line by MTT assay.

Sonographic depiction of the fetal anus and its utility in the diagnosis of anorectal malformations.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the sonographic appearance of the fetal anus and its usefulness in diagnosis of anal atresia.

Methods: An anomaly scan was performed in 13,150 patients over 8 years. Gestational ages ranged from 16 to 38 weeks.
