Bovine coronavirus isolates associated with recent outbreaks of respiratory disease in Ontario and Quebec dairy farms were compared to reference strains known to be responsible for neonatal calf diarrhea (NCD) or winter dysentery (WD) of adult cattle. In respect to their hemagglutinating properties
HES-1 is a transcriptional repressor of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family and one of the main downstream effectors in Notch signaling. Its domain architecture is composed of a bHLH region, an Orange domain, and a poorly characterized C-terminal half. We show that different degrees of
The effect of low dose He-Ne laser on the healing of intestinal anastomosis was studied in the albino rat. A small piece of jejunum was removed from each rat and the ends sutured back with a simple interrupted pattern. In the experimental animal, the anastomosis was irradiated through an optic fiber
There are evidences that low-intensity red laser radiation is capable to accelerate wound healing. Nowadays, this therapy has been gradually introduced in clinical practice although mechanisms underlying laser effects are poorly understood. To better understand the photobiological effects of laser
The water-soaked seeds of sunflower were exposed to low power continuous wave He-Ne laser irradiation of energies 0, 100, 300 and 500 mJ to evaluate the effect on various biochemical, physiological, growth and yield parameters of sunflower. The experiments which consisted of four replicates arranged
The present investigation was designed to analyze the influence of Helium-Neon (He-Ne 632.8nm) laser irradiation on defense enzymes, proline content and in vitro responses of callus induction, shoot initiation and on plantlet regeneration potential of brinjal. The seeds of Mattu Gulla (Solanum
Laser irradiation of soybean seeds for 3 min caused a clear reduction in the number of seed-borne fungi which became more pronounced as the irradiation time was extended. Pretreatment of the seeds with methylene blue, methyl red and carmine enhanced the effect of laser. Rhizoctonia solani,
Pathogenic mutations in alpha and beta spectrin result in a variety of syndromes, including hereditary elliptocytosis (HE), hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP), and hereditary spherocytosis (HS). Although some mutations clearly lie at sites of interaction, such as the sites of spectrin
A 41-year-old man with prolidase deficiency has had chronic leg ulcers and recurrent cellulitis for most of his life. Until recently he had been hospitalized at least annually for this and suffered significant morbidity as a result. Since commencing topical 5% proline in white soft paraffin ointment
OBJECTIVE
To observe the expression of proline hydroxylase domain 2 (PHD2) in the retina of diabetic rats and investigate the relationship between PHD2 and relevant intraocular vascular proliferation factors.
METHODS
Sixty male specific pathogen free (SPF) Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly
Grazing -infected forages results in a variety of reduced animal performance parameters, collectively known as "fescue toxicosis." The initial, limited evaluations of hepatic mechanisms affected by fescue toxicosis have used transcriptomic expression profiling of experimental phenotypes developed by
OBJECTIVE
Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is a rare disease characterized by thrombus-like substances in markedly dilated glomerular capillaries and elevated plasma levels of apolipoprotein E (apoE). Previous studies have shown that genetic disorders of apoE may contribute to the pathogenesis of
BACKGROUND
Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem. & Schult.) T.D. Penn., Sapotaceae family, is a medicinal species native to the Brazilian Northeastern region. The plant is popularly used as an anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the anti-inflammatory properties of the
Wound healing involves the interaction of blood cells, proteins, proteases, growth factors, and extracellular matrix components. Inflammation is one of the first events occurring during this process. Previously, we showed that the N-Methyl-(2S,4R)-trans-4-Hydroxy-L-Proline (NMP) from Sideroxylon
