Chlorinated nitroaromatic antibiotic chloramphenicol (CAP) is a priority pollutant in wastewaters. A fed-batch bioelectrochemical system (BES) with biocathode with applied voltage of 0.5 V (served as extracellular electron donor) and glucose as intracellular electron donor was applied to reduce CAP to amine product (AMCl2). The biocathode BES converted 87.1 ± 4.2% of 32 mg/L CAP in 4 h, and the...

Identifying biomarkers and signaling pathways are important for the management of prostate cancer (CaP) radioresistance. In this study, we identified differential proteins and signaling pathways from parental CaP cell lines and CaP radioresistant (RR) sublines using a label-free LC-MS/MS proteomics approach. A total of 309 signaling pathway proteins were identified to be significantly altered b...

BACKGROUND The use of a transparent cap is regarded as a simple method to obtain better outcomes compared with standard colonoscopy. In this study, we investigated whether cap-assisted colonoscopy can improve the quality of procedure-related outcomes in patients with a history of colorectal resection. METHODS This study was designed as a prospective, randomized, controlled trial conducted at ...

The tip of the root is covered by a thimble-shaped root cap that is the site of perception and transduction for many environmental stimuli. Until now, little was known about how the root cap of rice (Oryza sativa) develops and functions to regulate the adaptive behavior of the root. To address this, we examined the formation of the rice root cap during embryogenesis and characterized the anatom...

Background and Objective: Obesity is one of the problems associated with cardiovascular complications. Patients' heart function improves after sleeve gastrectomy. Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) is one of the methods used to monitor heart function before and after sleeve gastrectomy.  In this study, we evaluated the echocardiographic parameters pre and post sleeve gastrectomy. Materials and M...

Background Aspiration community-acquired pneumonia (ACAP) and (CAP) in patients with aspiration risk factors (AspRFs) are infections associated anaerobes, but limited evidence suggests their pathogenic role. Research Question What the factors, microbiology patterns, empiric anti-anaerobic use hospitalized CAP? Study Design Methods This is a secondary analysis of GLIMP, an international, multice...

Although the central terminals of cranial visceral afferents express vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1), little is known about their functional properties at this first synapse within the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). Here, we examined whether VR1 modulates afferent synaptic transmission. In horizontal brainstem slices, solitary tract (ST) activation evoked EPSCs. Monosynaptic EPSCs had low synapti...

INTRODUCTION Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) requires prompt treatment, but its diagnosis is complex. Improvement of bacterial CAP diagnosis by biomarkers has been evaluated using chest X-ray infiltrate as the CAP gold standard, producing conflicting results. We analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers in suspected CAP adults visiting emergency departments for whom CAP diagnosis was es...

Class II CAP-dependent promoters, interacting with the RNAP ␣ subunit C-terminal domain (␣CTD) and facilitat-At Class I CAP-dependent promoters, interaction between the activating region and ␣CTD (and concomitant St. Louis, Missouri 63104 recruitment of RNAP to promoter DNA) appears to be the entire basis of transcription activation. Thus, at Class Summary I CAP-dependent promoters, removal of ...
