چکیده

Oligosaccharide sequences in glycomes of eukaryotes and prokaryotes are enormously diverse. The reasons are not fully understood, but there is an increasing number of examples of the involvement of specific oligosaccharide sequences as ligands in protein-carbohydrate interactions in health and, directly or indirectly, in every major disease, be it infectious or noninfectious. The pinpointing and characterizing of oligosaccharide ligands within glycomes has been one of the most challenging aspects of molecular cell biology, as oligosaccharides cannot be cloned and are generally available in limited amounts. This overview recounts the background to the development of a microarray system that is poised for surveying proteomes for carbohydrate-binding activities and glycomes for assigning the oligosaccharide ligands. Examples are selected by way of illustrating the potential of "designer" microarrays for ligand discovery at the interface of infection, immunity, and glycobiology. Particularly highlighted are sulfo-oligosaccharide and gluco-oligosaccharide recognition systems elucidated using microarrays.

Prevalence of cysticercosis in cattle and pigs in the Lublin province in the years 2009-2012.

Prevalence of cysticercosis among cattle and pigs slaughtered in the Lublin province in the years 2009-2012 was evaluated. The study draws its data from annual reports of the Veterinary Inspectorate in Lublin. Cysticercus bovis was detected in 1038 animals (0.19%) out of 542,963 heads of cattle in the Lublin province, whereas Cysticercus cellulosae was found in 150 (0.0044%) out of 3,367,444 ex...

In defense of case reports and case series.

Case reports and case series have their own role in the progress of medical science. They permit discovery of new diseases and unexpected effects (adverse or beneficial) as well as the study of mechanisms, and they play an important role in medical education. Case reports and series have a high sensitivity for detecting novelty and therefore remain one of the cornerstones of medical progress; t...
