A novel insertion sequence element of the IS982 family, ISScr1, was previously identified in Streptococcus criceti strain E49 as a disrupted paaB gene encoding an antigen I/II homologous protein. In this study, we identified two divergent inserted regions of ISScr1 in S. criceti E49 by inverse polymerase chain reaction, the gene-walking method, and screening of the partial plasmid library. Nucl...

This paper estimates a structural VAR model of U.S. consumer and world commodity prices. An equiproportional long-run response of nominal price levels to amonetary shock yields identifying restrictions. Exogenous innovations tomonetary policy account for a sizable share of the co-movement of these series, including during episodes more commonly attributed to “supply shocks.” JEL Categories: C32...

This paper identifies two structural proteins of the occluded derived viral envelope of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV): ODV-E18 and ODV-E35. In addition, we identify a protein, ODV-EC27, that is incorporated into the capsid of occluded virus, which is not detected in budded virus. The genes for these proteins reside within the IE0 intron. The intron was sequenced, an...

The binary co-assembly systems consisting of amphiphilic block copolymers and surfactants have provided us a versatile platform for materials design structural regulation. In this review (Article number 2021, e49), Shi, Li, co-workers comprehensively discussed the main three their potential biological applications.

Streptomycin-resistant strains of Streptococcus mutans were implanted as adherent growth on artificial fissures (AF). A stock culture of strain E49 (serotype a) and human isolates of serotype c strains were each implanted in three subjects. The AF was retained in the occlusal surface of a tooth for 8G-288 h, during which occlusal samples from the AF and salivary samples were regularly cultured,...

Peripheral retinal laser ablation for high-risk retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) improves visual outcomes. Some pediatric ophthalmology fellows receive little exposure to this procedure. The authors identified and evaluated an animal teaching model that simulates peripheral retinal laser ablation in human infants with ROP. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54:e47-e49.].

Visna/Maedi, or ovine progressive pneumonia (OPP) as it is known in the United States, is an incurable slow-acting disease of sheep caused by persistent lentivirus infection. This disease affects multiple tissues, including those of the respiratory and central nervous systems. Our aim was to identify ovine genetic risk factors for lentivirus infection. Sixty-nine matched pairs of infected cases...
