(2006)
A meta-analysis regarding BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and their associations with osteoporosis in females is reported. The meta-analysis involved 14, seven, seven and three ...
Identification of multi-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii from an ICU in Greece using sequence-based typing and PFGE
(2011)
Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen in many European countries, including Greece. In this study, we analysed 20 multi-resistant A. baumannii strains, derived from the First intensive ...
Duplex Real-time PCR assay and SYBR green I melting curve analysis for molecular identification of HPV genotypes 16, 18, 31, 35, 51 and 66
(2015)
Long-term infection with high-risk HPV genotypes is the leading cause of cervical cancer. In the present study a Duplex Real-time PCR assay was developed in order to identify HPV types 16, 18, 31, 35, 51 and 66 in three ...

(2015)
AimsThis study evaluated the efficacy of a probiotic containing Bacillus toyonensis spores (Toyocerin((R))) in postweaning piglets against enteric pathogens. Methods and ResultsSeven hundred and ninety-two healthy weaning ...
RFLP analysis of mitochondrial DNA to evaluate genetic variation in striped red mullet (Mullus surmuletus L.) and red mullet (Mullus barbatus L.) populations
(2001)
The genetic differentiation of striped red:mullet (Mullus surmuletus) and red mullet (Mullus barbatus) was investigated in 6 Mediterranean populations of each species by means of restriction fragment length polymorphism ...
In-vitro development of ovules obtained after pollination of cotton (Gossypium spp) flowers with pollen from okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L-Moench)
(2007)
The in vitro response of ovules obtained after pollination of cotton flowers with pollen from Abelmoschus esculentus was studied. For this, 492 cotton flowers from five G. hirsutum varieties, four G. barbadense varieties ...
A Foamy Virus Vector System for Stable and Efficient RNAi Expression in Mammalian Cells
(2011)
The promise of the RNA interference (RNAi) technology is equally dependent on the efficiency and stability of gene silencing. The aim of the present study was the development of foamy virus (FV) vectors for stable RNAi, ...
Acinetobacter baumannii Infection in Prior ICU Bed Occupants Is an Independent Risk Factor for Subsequent Cases of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
(2014)
Objective. We aimed to evaluate risk factors for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) due to Acinetobacter baumannii (AbVAP) in critically ill patients. Methods. This was a prospective observational study conducted in an ...
Optimization of TNF-alpha, overexpression in Escherichia coli using response surface methodology: Purification of the protein and oligomerization studies
(2012)
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is responsible for many autoimmune disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Chron's disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Thus, inhibition of TNF-alpha is a major challenge ...
A statistical approach for optimization of RANKL overexpression in Escherichia coli: Purification and characterization of the protein
(2013)
Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK) and its cognate ligand (RANICL) is a member of the TNF superfamily of cytokines which is essential in osteobiology and its overexpression has been implicated in the ...
