pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the most important pathogens in the nosocomial infections. a genetic mobile element, the integron, is one of the major agents involved in dissemination of multi-drug resistance among gram negative bacteria. during a descriptive study from october 2009 to august 2010, some 130 p. aeruginosa clinical isolates were collected from different wards of three hospitals i...

Canthaxanthin is a carotenoid that lacks pro-vitamin A activity but is known to have antioxidant activity. The products of its oxidation in oxygen were found to be mainly substituted apo-carotenals and apo-carotenones. The product profile resembles that obtained in the oxidation of β-carotene, except that with canthaxanthin these products are the 4-oxo-β-apo-carotenals and 4-oxo-β-apo-carotenon...

Fluorophenols are used as agrochemicals and released into environment as pollutants. Cultured marine microalga Amphidinium crassum (Gymnodinium) glucosylated 2-fluorophenol (1), 3-fluorophenol (2), and 4-fluorophenol (3) to the corresponding β-D-glucosides, ie, 2-fluorophenyl β-D-glucoside (4, 60 μg/g cells), 3-fluorophenyl β-D-glucoside (5, 20 μg/g cells), and 4-fluorophenyl β-D-glucoside (6, ...

Two new compounds: 2-(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl) ethyl-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-4-O-p-hydroxyphenylacetyl-6-O-caffeoyl-β-D-glucopyranoside and 2-(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl) ethyl-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-4-O-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid-6-O-caffeoyl-β-D-glucopyranoside were isolated from the stem bark of Jacaranda mimosaefolia. In addition, the known compounds lupeol, betulinaldehyde, terminic acid, betu...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of using magnetic iron oxide (Fe(3)O(4))-dextran-anti-β-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) nanoparticles as a gene vector for cellular transfections. STUDY DESIGN Fe(3)O(4)-dextran-anti-β-HCG nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical coprecipitation. The configuration, diameter, and iron content of the nanoparticles were detected by transmission electron...
