Femtosecond spectroscopy was performed on CO-liganded (fully reduced and mixed-valence states) and O(2)-liganded quinol oxidase bd from Escherichia coli. Substantial polarization effects, unprecedented for optical studies of heme proteins, were observed in the CO photodissociation spectra, implying interactions between heme d (the chlorin ligand binding site) and the close-lying heme b(595) on ...

OBJECTIVES The efficacy and safety of a single-dose of Montelukast sodium for treating virus-related infantile wheezing are investigated in this study. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective, open, randomized, controlled study was carried out on 595 cases of infants who exhibited wheezing after a respiratory syncytial virus infection. Treatment with Montelukast sodium was provided over the course...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The conventional pulsed-dye laser (wavelength 585 nm, pulse duration 0.5 milliseconds) is seen as the standard treatment for port wine stains (PWS). Using the pulsed-dye laser at wavelengths of 590, 595, and 600 nm and at varying pulse durations of 1.5-40 milliseconds is one of the newest developments in the field, the therapeutic value of which has been examined in on...

The e.p.r. signals attributable to a cytochrome bd-type ubiquinol:O2 oxidoreductase (cytochrome b-558-b-595-d) were studied in a cytoplasmic membrane preparation of Escherichia coli that had been grown on glycerol with fumarate as respiratory-chain oxidant. Two major high-spin ferric haem signals were resolved on the basis of their potentiometric behaviour: a rhombic high-spin species (gx = 6.2...

PURPOSE Although pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment of port-wine stain (PWS) has long been proven safe and effective, incomplete clearance of these vascular malformations can be problematic. In addition, advanced PWS with deeper coloration and tissue hypertrophy can be particularly difficult to treat because of the superficial dermal penetration of 585- to 595-nm light. The purpose of this study ...
