We measured high-molecular-mass alkaline phosphatase (HiMwALP) in serum samples from patients with colorectal cancer by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and by column chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose. Determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) by an enzyme
The herb Orostachys japonicus has been traditionally used to treat chronic diseases, such as hepatitis, hemorrhoids, and cancer, in Asia. In this study, we investigated the effect of Orostachys japonicus water extract (OJWE) on the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced
BACKGROUND
Ficus glumosa Del (Moraceae), a plant used in traditional medicine in Cameroon, Senegal, and East Africa for the treatment of edema, hemorrhoid, cardiovascular diseases especially hypertension.
OBJECTIVE
The present study evaluated the potential toxicity of the aqueous extract of the
The fine structural changes and the reactivity for acid phosphatase (AcPase) and thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) were studied in thin sections from rat pancreatic acinar cells exposed to dl-ethionine for 2-10 days. The cells from ad libitum and pair-fed controls exhibit occasionally 0.2-0.6
The effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) on a postoperative increase in liver enzymes (PILE) has not been clearly investigated in patients with elevated preoperative liver enzymes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of 5-ALA in brain tumor patients with elevated preoperative liver
Land contamination is one of the widely addressed problems, which is gaining importance in many developed and developing countries. International efforts are actively envisaged to remediate contaminated sites as a response to adverse health effects. Popular conventional methodologies only transfer
BACKGROUND
The Tridax procumbens flavonoids (TPF), are well known for their medicinal properties among local natives. The TPF are traditionally used for dropsy, anaemia, arthritis, gout, asthma, ulcer, piles, and urinary problems. It also used in treating gastric problems, body pain, and rheumatic
Since the indiscriminate disposal of pig slurry can cause not only air pollution and bad odours but also nutrient pollution of ground waters and superficial waters, composting is sometimes used as one environmentally acceptable method for recycling pig manure. The aim of this study was to evaluate
The PilE pilin subunit protein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae undergoes unique covalent modifications with phosphoethanolamine (PE) and phosphocholine (PC). The pilin phospho-form transferase A (PptA) protein, required for these modifications, shows sequence relatedness with and architectural similarities
In a preceding article, we described alterations occurring in rat pancreas acinar cells at successive post-mortem (PM) intervals. In ultra-thin sections from samples obtained from 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 h, we observed in the Golgi apparatus the appearance of an anomalous membrane bound structure.
Nitrogen availability plays a critical role in the biodegradation of organic matter during composting. Although the optimal initial C/N is known to be around 25-30, the chemical form in which N is present influences microbial activity and therefore degradation rate and gaseous losses. This study was
Previously, we had demonstrated that a Legionella pneumophila prepilin peptidase (pilD) mutant does not produce type IV pili and shows reduced secretion of enzymatic activities. Moreover, it displays a distinct colony morphology and a dramatic reduction in intracellular growth within amoebae and
The composting process of food wastes and tree cuttings was examined on four composting types composed from two kinds of systems and added mixture of microorganisms. The time courses of 32 parameters in each composting type were observed. The efficient composting system was found to be the static
A biological comparison based on differences in the starting material for composting processes was made. Mesophilic aerobic microbiota, fungi, actinomycetes and hemicellulolytic microorganisms reached significantly higher levels in the MSW final product. The population of cellulolytic microorganisms
Using enzymatically isolated rat bone cells in the presence of cytodex microcarrier beads, osteoblastic cell differentiation and bone nodule formation were studied at the optical and electron microscopic level. Cytochemical method showed an intense alkaline phosphatase activity mainly around the
