Acute chicken leukemia retroviruses, because of their capacity to readily transform hematopoietic cells in vitro, are ideal models to study the mechanisms governing the cell-type specificity of oncoproteins. Here we analyzed the transformation specificity of 2 acute chicken leukemia retroviruses, the Myb-Ets– encoding E26 virus and the ErbA/ErbBencoding avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV). While...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine the long-term outcomes of a prospective cohort of 20 patients who had nasopharyngectomy using an open partial-maxillectomy approach. METHOD A prospective cohort study of the surgical outcomes of patients with recurrent T1 (rT1) and rT2 nasopharyngeal carcinoma recurrence. RESULTS There were 14 male and six female patients. The mean age was 49 years. The me...

In the present study, Saccharopolyspora erythraea MTCC 1103 was used for the enhanced production of erythromycin. To enhance the yield of erythromycin, effects of various parameters such as bagasse concentration, organic nitrogen source, inorganic nitrogen source, pH and temperature were analysed. It was found that bagasse can be used as an alternate carbon source in erythromycin production med...

42 The Hearing Journal May 2017 C oncussions are something of a clinical conundrum. There has been growing concern that one or more blows to the head can cause lasting brain damage, even after symptoms appear to have resolved. The diagnosis of concussions relies on the evaluation of multiple organ symptoms, but it is important to note that patient reports of their symptoms are inherently subjec...

In a host-range study carried out under greenhouse conditions, a total of 37 commercial fruit tree, grape, and citrus rootstocks were tested for their reaction to a population of the lesion nematode, Pratylenchus vulnus, in Spain. Twenty-five rootstocks had a Pf/Pi > 1.5. These included almond (Desmayo Rojo, 1143), apple (EM-9, EM-106), avocado (Hass), cherry (Santa Lucia 64, Camil, M x M 14, M...

Hybrid phospholipid/block copolymer vesicles, in which the polymeric membrane is blended with phospholipids, display interesting self-assembly behavior, incorporating the robustness and chemical versatility of polymersomes with the softness and biocompatibility of liposomes. Such structures can be conveniently characterized by preparing giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) via electroformation. He...
