Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) LJB/03 was isolated from the fece of piglets infected with PEDV on a pig farm, Heilongjiang province, China. The M gene of LJB/03 was amplified from the RNA extracted directly from the fece samples by RT-PCR and cloned into pMD18-T vector. The M gene cDNA was
The spike (S) gene of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) Chinju99 which was previously isolated in Chinju, Korea was cloned and sequenced to aid in the development of genetically engineered vaccines and diagnostic reagents against PEDV. The nucleotide sequence encoding the entire S gene open
The nucleocapsid (N) gene of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) Chinju99 which was previously isolated in Chinju, Korea was cloned and sequenced to establish the information for the development of genetically engineered diagnostic reagents. Also, sequences of the nucleotides and deduced
The nucleocapsid (N) gene of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strain LJB/03 which was previously isolated in Heilongjiang province, China, was cloned, sequenced and compared with published sequences of other avian and mammalian coronavirus. The nucleotide sequence encoding the entire N
A methodology for the separation of radiation-induced thymine derivatives in DNA using high pressure liquid chromatography is presented. DNA was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis yielding 2'-deoxyribonucleosides and the hydrolysate cochromatographed with marker compounds. Confirmation of the
BACKGROUND
The UGT1A1*28 polymorphism, although closely linked with CPT-11-related adverse effects, cannot be used alone to guide individualized treatment decisions. However, CPT-11 dosage can be adjusted according to measured SN-38 pharmacokinetics. Our study is designed to investigate whether
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is an autosomal recessive disorder defined clinically by severe gastrointestinal dysmotility; cachexia; ptosis, ophthalmoparesis, or both; peripheral neuropathy; leukoencephalopathy; and mitochondrial abnormalities. The disease is caused
OBJECTIVE
To explore the clinical manifestations, therapeutic response and RET gene mutation in a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia 2B (MEN2B) characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma and multiple mucosal neuromas.
METHODS
The clinical features,
Forty-seven adult patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) were treated in a phase I/II study combining continuous intravenous (IV) infusions of iododeoxyuridine (IdUrd) and hyperfractionated radiation therapy. IdUrd was administered as a continuous infusion (24 h/d) for two separate 14-day
High-dose thymidine (dThd) was given to 12 patients with advanced hematological and solid tumors. The dose schedule used was 75 g/sq m/day, given i.v. continuously for 5 days or more. Myelosuppression, especially leukopenia, was the dose-limiting toxicity. Nonhematological toxicities affected the
Bacterial spores are one of the most resilient life forms on earth and are involved in many human diseases, such as infectious diarrhea, fatal paralytic illnesses and respiratory infections. Here, we investigated the mechanisms involved in the death of Bacillus pumilus spores after exposure to
BACKGROUND
Raltitrexed (Tomudex(R)) is a thymine synthetase inhibitor used for first line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Skin reactions were reported in the preclinical trials but have never been documented in clinical practice. We report the first two cases.
METHODS
Two patients, aged
BACKGROUND
It is known that the uridine-diphosphoglucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 polymorphism reduces UGT1A1 enzyme activity, which may lead to severe toxicities in patients who receive irinotecan. This study was conducted to assess the influence of this polymorphism on the efficacy and
BACKGROUND
Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) is well known for its probiotic property in human and animals. Lactoferricin (Lfcin) polypeptide can effectively modulate host immune responses and have antimicrobial activity in vivo and in vitro. In order to develop a food-grade L. casei system
