Finding and analyzing plant metabolic gene clusters
(2012)
Plants produce an array of diverse secondary metabolites with important ecological functions, providing protection against pests, diseases, and abiotic stresses. Secondary metabolites are also a rich source of bioactive ...
Feasibility and efficacy of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy using a new modified lateral position for the treatment of renal stones in obese patients
(2012)
The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ESWL using a modified lateral position in obese patients with renal stones. Nineteen obese patients with renal stones were enrolled (group A). The mean stone ...
Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 increase permeability of sheep pleura in vitro
(2012)
Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9 are two gelatinase members which have been found elevated in exudative pleural effusions. In endothelial cells these MMPs increase paracellular permeability via the ...
A dedicated surveillance network for congenital toxoplasmosis in Greece, 2006-2009: Assessment of the results
(2012)
Background: Toxoplasmosis is caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Acute infections in pregnant women may be transmitted to the fetus and cause severe illness. The purpose of this study was to ...
Evaluation of specific immune responses to BoNT/A and tetanus toxoid in patients undergoing treatment for neurologic disorders
(2012)
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are used in the treatment of many neurological disorders. The primary structure of BoNTs shows a high degree of homology with the tetanus neurotoxin, the toxoid of which is used as a vaccine. ...
Susceptibility of standard clones and European field populations of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, and the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to the novel anthranilic diamide insecticide cyantraniliprole
(2012)
Background: Parthenogenetic clones of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), and the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, were tested with the anthranilic diamide insecticide cyantraniliprole (i.e. DuPont ™ Cyazypyr ...
Permeability of the arachnoid and pia mater. The role of ion channels in the leptomeningeal physiology
(2012)
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the ionic permeability of the leptomeninges related to the effect of ouabain (sodium-potassium-ATPase inhibitor) and amiloride (epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) inhibitor) on ...
HBeAg-positive hepatitis delta: Virological patterns and clinical long-term outcome
(2012)
Background and Aims: The presence of the hepatitis B virus (HBV)-eAg in patients with hepatitis B is associated with higher HBV replication and with an increased risk to develop liver-related clinical endpoints defined as ...
The potential role of radiation therapy in Bowen's disease: A review of the current literature
(2012)
Background: Bowen's disease is a form of squamous cell carcinoma in situ that can be transformed into invasive squamous cell carcinoma and should be treated according to its anatomical position. The aim of this article is ...
Effect of fatigue on tibial rotation after single- and double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A 3-dimensional kinematic and kinetic matched-group analysis
(2012)
Background: Fatigue is an extrinsic factor adversely affecting joint proprioception and neuromuscular response, thereby increasing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain and injury risk. The effectiveness of the single- ...
