we report a 64-year-old diabetic woman who developed neovascularization of the posterior capsule 2 years after cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. the patient was treated with single injection of 1.25 mg of intravitreal bevacizumab (avastin) via pars plana. after one week, complete regression of the posterior capsule neovascularization was achieved allowing us to perform nd: yag...

Escherichia coli group 1 K antigens form a tightly associated capsule structure on the cell surface. Although the general features of the early steps in capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis have been described, little is known about the later stages that culminate in assembly of a capsular structure on the cell surface. Group 1 capsule biosynthesis gene clusters (cps) in E. coli and Klebsiella ...

China) Abstract: The microencapsulated display device is the main choice for electrophoretic display. The application of environment friendly dispersion medium is very critical for the commercialization of this technology. The electrophoretic microcapsules using Isopar L, which is non-toxic, low aromatic concentration and volatility, as dispersion medium were prepared by complex coacervation be...

TO THE EDITOR: We read with great interest the review article entitled " How to interpret a functional or motility test: colon transit study " by Kim et al. 1 The authors reviewed colonic transit study using radio-opaque markers, scintigraphy and wireless mo-tility capsule in evaluation of colonic motility. 1 They described the method and criteria to differentiate between slow and normal transi...

FeiYangchangweiyan capsule (FY capsule), a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation consisting of three medicinal herbs, has been used to treat bacterial dysentery, acute, and chronic gastroenteritis for several decades. In this study, a novel, convenient, accurate, and valid method was developed by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with diode array detection...

Wzc(CPS) is a tyrosine autokinase essential for the assembly of a high-molecular-weight (HMW) group 1 capsular polysaccharide (CPS) in Escherichia coli. Homologues of Wzc participate in the formation of CPS and exopolysaccharides in a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the Wzc(CPS) C terminus is essential for HMW CPS assembly. Overexpres...

tion of anemia, abdominal bloating, and weight loss. He had been diagnosed with eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) in childhood. He had no history of current or past nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. Computed tomography enterography (CTE) did not reveal any small-bowel abnormalities. Video capsule endoscopy was significant for ulcerated stenoses similar to diaphragm disease (●" F...

BACKGROUND Although several studies have found probiotics encouraging in prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the evidence for the use of probiotics in diagnosed GDM is largely limited. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a probiotic supplement capsule containing four bacterial strains on glucose metabolism indices and weight changes in women with newly diagnosed GDM...

(CVID) is the most frequent primary immunodeficiency, characterized by reduced levels of immunoglobulins [1,2]. Due to a heterogeneous presentation including a heightened rate of infections, the diagnosis is often delayed for 4–9 years. This delay may contribute to the increased morbidityandmortality in CVIDpatients [1,3]. Gastrointestinal manifestations – most often chronic diarrhea [2] – are ...
