The effects of feeding Fusarium moniliforme culture material, containing known concentrations of fumonisin Bj (FBi), were studied in turkey poults. Day-old poults were allotted randomly to dietary treatments containing 0, 0.41, 0.82, 1.23, 1.64, 2.87, 4.10, 5.33, 6.56, and 7.79% fumonisin culture material (FCM). These levels of FCM supplied 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 175, 250, 325, 400, and 475 mg FBi...

We have evaluated the possibility that conserved cysteine residues are critical for the enzymatic function of p56lck. Through oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, 5 Lck residues (cysteines 217, 224, 378, 464, and 475) were individually mutated to alanines, and the effects of these substitutions were tested in various in vitro and in vivo assays. We found that mutation of either of 2 cysteines ...

It has been demonstrated both thermodynamically and experimentally that fuel-cell grade hydrogen can be produced by a one-step sorption enhanced water gas shift (SEWGS) process at about 500 oC, where the water gas shift (WGS) catalyst and the CO2 sorbent are highly integrated. A synthetic CaO-based mixed oxide sorbent was also assessed, which showed a good CO2 capture capacity and stability in ...

Background: The aim of present study is to asset the IL-2 promoter gene (SNP -475) as a candidate gene for multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility. Methods: This study included 70 patients with relapsing – remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and 50 healthy controls. Following the extraction of genomic DNA from peripheral blood, frequency of genotypes and alleles of SNP -475 was calculated usi...

Reconciling the LSND evidence1 for ν̄μ → ν̄e oscillations with the global neutrino data reporting evidence and bounds on oscillations remains a long-standing problem for neutrino phenomenology. Recently the MiniBooNE experiment 2,3 added more information to this question. This experiment searches for νμ → νe appearance with a very similar L/Eν range as LSND. No evidence for flavour transitions is...

All nucleocytoplasmic traffic of macromolecules occurs through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), which function as stents in the nuclear envelope to keep nuclear pores open but gated. Three studies in this issue (Flemming, D., P. Sarges, P. Stelter, A. Hellwig, B. Böttcher, and E. Hurt. 2009. J. Cell Biol. 185:387-395; Makio, T., L.H. Stanton, C.-C. Lin, D.S. Goldfarb, K. Weis, and R.W. Wozniak. 2...

There has been little or no attempt to define the need for 24-hour medical cover, nor its appropriateness in acute hospitals, despite the great cost implications and the question of the quality of that care. This study examined the medical activity during the 'night shift' in an acute hospital. There were an average of 2.59 calls per night, most from the emergency department (247/475) and gener...

IgE, and atopy. Results: We measured the total serum IgE of 155 children. The number of obese and normal weight children with family history of atopic disease who had high level of total serum IgE were 30 and 25 respectively, whereas these children who had normal level of total serum IgE were 6 and 15 respectively [OR 1⁄4 1.9 (95% CI 0.9-3.9)]. On the other hand, obese and normal weight childre...
