Activin A and Follistatin as Biomarkers for Ectopic Pregnancy and Missed Abortion
(2013)Activin A as a predictor of pregnancy failure has been the focus of heated debate, but the value of a combined activin A and follistatin (FS) measurement in serum to predict pregnancy failure has not been reported yet. We ... -
Activity of Oxacillin versus That of Vancomycin against Oxacillin-Susceptible mecA-Positive Staphylococcus aureus Clinical Isolates Evaluated by Population Analyses, Time-Kill Assays, and a Murine Thigh Infection Model
(2012)We compared the activity of dicloxacillin with that of vancomycin against 15 oxacillin-susceptible, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (OS-MRSA) clinical isolates. By population analyses, we found that 6 OS-MRSA ... -
Activity of Tigecycline in Combination with Colistin, Meropenem, Rifampin, or Gentamicin against KPC-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Murine Thigh Infection Model
(2013)Limited antimicrobials remain active for treating severe infections due to KPC-producing pathogens, and optimal regimens have not been established. In murine thigh infections caused by nine KPC-producing clinical strains ... -
Age, FSH dose and follicular aspiration frequency affect oocyte yield from juvenile donor lambs
(2007)Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of lamb age, frequency of follicular aspirations, and hormone stimulation by fixed or variable FSH dose, on the number of collected oocytes and their maturational competence. ... -
Airway responsiveness: role of inflammation, epithelium damage and smooth muscle tension
(1999)THE purpose of this study was the effect of epithelium damage on mechanical responses of airway smooth muscles under different resting tension. We performed acetylcholine (ACh) (10(-5) M)-induced contraction on tracheal ... -
Animal models in peritoneal dialysis
(2015)Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been extensively used over the past years as a method of kidney replacement therapy for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). In an attempt to better understand the properties of the ... -
ANTIANGIOGENIC POTENTIAL OF GRAPE STEM EXTRACT THROUGH INHIBITION OF VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR EXPRESSION
(2014)The aim of the present study was to investigate the antiangiogenic potential of a grape stem extract against tube formation by human endothelial cells (EA.hy926). The results showed that at low and non-cytotoxic concentrations ... -
Antiangiogenic strategies in hepatocellular carcinoma: current status
(2005)Hepatocellular carcinoma is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide in both adult and pediatric patients. Despite many options, no ideal treatment exists for this highly malignant tumor, and management strategies have ... -
Antifungal Activity of Plant Essential Oils Against Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium italicum and Penicillium digitatum
(2013)Plant essential oils have the potential to replace the synthetic fungicides in the management of postharvest diseases of fruit and vegetables. The aim of this study was to access the in vitro and in vivo activity of essential ... -
Assessment of wastewater effluent quality in Thessaly region, Greece, for determining its irrigation reuse potential
(2011)The objective of the present study is to assess wastewater effluent quality in Thessaly region Greece in relation to its physicochemical and microbiological burden as well as its toxic potential on a number of organisms ... -
Assisted reproductive technologies in the reproductive management of small ruminants
(2012)In modern agriculture, assisted reproductive technologies are being used for out of season oestrus induction, enhancement of reproductive performance and genetic improvement. In addition, they can have substantial contribution ... -
Association of soybean-based extenders with field fertility of stored ram (Ovis aries) semen: A randomized double-blind parallel group design
(2013)Two consecutive randomized double-blind field fertility experiments were conducted over a 4-month period and aimed at evaluating the association of two commercial soybean lecithin-based extenders (AndroMed [Minitub, ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis type 1 and primary biliary cirrhosis have distinct bone marrow cytokine production
(2005)We have recently reported differences in the hematopoiesis between autoimmune hepatitis type I (AIH-1) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In view of the notion that cytokines are regulators of hematopoiesis, we investigated ... -
Banana: cultivars, biotechnological approaches and genetic transformation
(2008)Genetic modification of banana has been considered as a path towards increasing the value of this crop according to health and nutrition in developing countries. Banana as a crop is one of the most important and widely ... -
beta-Lactoglobulin improves liposome's encapsulation properties for vitamin E delivery
(2014)Vitamin E (VE) or alpha-tocopherol is the major fat-soluble antioxidant in the human body. It is a sensitive, easily oxidized in the air, molecule, so it must be protected from pro-oxidant elements which could affect its ... -
BONE REGENERATION USING beta-TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE IN A CALCIUM SULFATE MATRIX
(2009)The aim of the study was the histomorphometric comparison of the osteogenic potential of beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) alone or in a calcium sulfate matrix. Three round defects, 10 mm (diameter) X 5 mm (depth), were ... -
Bortezomib reverses the proliferative and antiapoptotic effect of neuropeptides on prostate cancer cells
(2012)Objectives: Neuropeptides are important signal initiators in advanced prostate cancer, partially acting through activation of nuclear factor kappa B. Central to nuclear factor kappa B regulation is the ubiquitin-proteasome ... -
