The effect of viable or heat inactivated human Lactobacillus casei strain GG on rotavirus immune responses in patients with rotavirus diarrhoea was assessed. Rotavirus serum IgA enzyme immunoassay antibody responses were higher in infants treated with viable L casei strain GG than in those treated with inactivated L casei strain GG. There was a significant difference at convalescence with rotav...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the association between -1082A/G polymorphism in interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene and ischemic stroke (IS) risk by meta-analysis. METHODS We carried out a systematic electronic search in PubMed, BIOSIS Previews, Science Direct, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Database, Weipu database and WANGFANG Database. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confide...

Some microorganisms accumulate glucosylglycerate (GG) during growth under nitrogen deprivation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of GG and the regulation of its levels in the nitrogen stress response are elusive. Since GG is required for biosynthesis of mycobacterial methylglucose lipopolysaccharides (MGLP) we examined the molecular mechanisms linking replenishment of assim...

Manure management in livestock makes a significant contribution towards greenhouse gas emissions in the Agriculture; Forestry and Other Land Use category in South Africa. Methane and nitrous oxide emissions are prevalent in contrasting manure management systems; promoting anaerobic and aerobic conditions respectively. In this paper; both Tier 1 and modified Tier 2 approaches of the IPCC guideli...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Glycoproteins D (gD) and G (gG) of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) are virus envelope glycoproteins that are able to induce HSV-1 antibody production in infected persons. Therefore, those proteins could be in interest to develop the serodiagnostic test(s) for HSV antibody detection. The aim of present study was the comparison of anti-gD and anti-gG antibodies in HS...

Neonatally streptozotocin-induced diabetic (n-STZ) rats were given food containing Lactobacilins GG cells (GG) er a control diet <control), from 9 to 18 weeks of age. The GG cells significantly lovvered the blood hemoglobin Aic (HbAic) level and improved glucose to]erance in n-STZ rats (p <O.05). In the GG group, the serum iitsulin level at 30 min after gl"cose loading was significantly higher ...

BACKGROUND The association between CD209 promoter polymorphisms (-336A/G, -871A/G) and tuberculosis (TB) risk has been widely reported, but results of previous studies remain controversial and ambiguous. To assess the association between CD209 polymorphisms and TB risk, a meta-analysis was performed. METHODS Based on comprehensive searches of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Weipu, and CBM...

Ранее был доказан следующий результат: если абелева группа $\gG$ не является группой кручения, то теория моноида ее конечных подмножеств позволяет интерпретировать элементарную арифметику. В настоящей работе мы приводим пример, который показывает, что аналогичный результат можно получить и, по крайней мере, для некоторых групп кручения. Earlier it was proved the following claim. Let be a non-to...

BACKGROUND The Cyclin D1(CCND1) G870A polymorphism may be associated with breast cancer, but the evidence from individual studies is inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and breast cancer risk in a meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched Pubmed and analysed 11 articles on 5,528 cases and 5,353 controls before Febr...
