The biosynthesis of the O antigen of Citrobacter 139 (Escherichia coli 3 Zurich 4,5,12:z(20)) was shown to proceed through a series of lipid-linked intermediates, similar to those involved in O-antigen synthesis in Salmonella. Galactose was the first sugar incorporated, followed by rhamnose and mannose. Abequose was incorporated from cytidine diphosphate (CDP)-abequose only when all three of th...

The purpose of this study is to report the neuroradiological manifestations of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). One hundred and thirty-nine Japanese HHT patients (73 men and 66 women, aged 2-78 years) were included in this study. Diagnosis of HHT was based on genetic analysis and/or clinical diagnosis of Curaçao. They included 68 HHT1 and 37 HHT2 patients. Essentially, all patients ...

One of the most frequently used methods in the speech disfluence therapy is the one based on the acoustical echo. A patient, who is a subject to therapy, hears his own voice with some delay and, thanks to that, his speech fluency increases. As it turned out a therapeutic effect can also be achieved by feedback of the speech with other human senses, such as touch or sight. The article presents a...

lation of a series of enzymes and signaling proteins in affected tissues and cells. These pro-inflammatory enzymes include the inducible forms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX), which are responsible for increasing the levels of NO and prostaglandins (PGs), respectively. Moreover, they are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases including multiple...

Early discussions on epilepsy rarely differentiated between epilepsies in childhood and those in adult life. The history of classification of the epilepsies might be defined in three major eras: the philosophical era before the twentieth century, marked by patient observation and, to a large degree, philosophical speculation as to the nature of the disease; the era of the localizationalists and...

The N-terminal region of both parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) binds to the same PTH/PTHrP receptor in osteoblasts. However, C-terminal PTHrP (107-139) inhibits growth and various functions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts apparently through PTHrP-specific receptors. PTH (1-34) and PTHrP (1-34) rapidly induce interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression by osteoblasts. The aim of the ...
