A 54-year-old woman suffered an episode of dyspnea and edema affecting her eyelids, tongue, and lips a few minutes after intake of Lizipaina (bacitracin, papain, and lysozyme). She was treated with intravenous drugs and her symptoms improved within 2 hours. She had experienced 3 to 4 bouts of similar symptoms related to the ingestion of cured cheeses or raw egg. Specific serum immunoglobulin (I...

We have employed dynamic light scattering and X-ray small-angle scattering for monitoring the cluster formation of hen-egg white lysozyme solutions under crystallization conditions. From time-resolved dynamic light scattering experiments we can obtain a set of observables that exhibit clear extrema, when simultaneously plotted as functions of protein and electrolyte molarity. Close to these ext...

In this study, a series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the efficiency of hydroxyapatite (1-iAP)nanopowders towards adsorption of lysozyme from aqueous solution. In the present research. I RP nanopowderssynthesized from egg-shell characterized using SEM and FT-Ht. The adsorption of lysozyme was I mg/mL using0.1 g adsorbent in 100 mL of lysozyme solution. Adsorption data were f...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of the Mytilus galloprovincialis lysozyme gene in different in vivo stress situations, including injection of bacteria Vibrio splendidus LGP32, Vibrio anguillarum or Micrococcus lysodeikticus, as well as heat shock at 30 degrees C and cold stress at 5 degrees C. Injection of V. splendidus LGP32 resulted in: (i) a general down-regulatio...

Abstract Background The Professional Quality of Life (ProQoL) scale is one the most widely measures compassion satisfaction and fatigue used, despite there not much published evidence to support its validity. ProQoL assesses multiple domains work experiences; satisfaction, burnout secondary traumatic stress. Our aim was examine psychometric properties Greek version 5 (Gr-ProQoL-5). Method A met...

We report the effect of various chemicals, vaccines and immunostimulants on innate immune mechanisms such as phagocytosis activity, superoxide anion production of blood leukocytes, complement activity and plasma lysozyme activity and disease resistance in goldfish Carassius auratus (23 +/- 2 g) against Aeromonas hydrophila on Days 15 and 30 post-infection. In infected fish, the administration o...

Background: Salvage chemotherapy followed by high-dose therapy (HDT) and autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard treatment of young patients (pts) with relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A complete remission before ASCT most important prognosis factor for a better outcome. Selinexor first-in-class selective inhibitor nuclear export, which, through inhibition exp...

PURPOSE To investigate the expression and quantity of glucocorticoid receptor-alpha and -beta in polyp tissues taken from the patients treated were subsequently treated with topical glucocorticoid (GC). METHODS Eighty patients with nasal polyps were initially enrolled in the study. All polyp specimens were obtained prior to treatment. Patients then received daily topical GC spray treatment fo...
