Using bioinformatics software and database, we have characterized the microsatellite pattern in the V. volvacea genome and compared it with microsatellite patterns found in the genomes of four other edible fungi: Coprinopsis cinerea, Schizophyllum commune, Agaricus bisporus, and Pleurotus ostreatus. A total of 1346 microsatellites have been identified, with mono-nucleotides being the most frequ...

In our previous study, the healing effect of proton pump inhibitor plus rebamipide for endoscopic submucosal dissection-related artificial ulcer smaller than 40 mm showed statistical significance. However, such effect of the combination was not yet clear for ulcers with dissected diameter more than 40 mm. The aim of this present study was to resolve this problem under sufficient statistical pow...

The syntheses of a series of tris(amidate) mono(amido) titanium and zirconium complexes are reported. The binding motif of the amidate ligand has been determined to depend on the size of the metal centre for these sterically demanding N,O-chelating ligands; the larger zirconium metal centre supports three κ(2)-(N,O) bound amidate ligands while the titanium analogue has one ligand bound in a κ(1...

objective(s): irinotecan is a potent anti-cancer drug from camptothecin group which inhibits topoisomerase i. recently, biodegradable and biocompatible polymers such as poly lactide-co-glycolides (plga) have been considered for the preparation of nanoparticles (nps). materials and methods: in this study, irinotecan loaded plga nps were fabricated by an emulsification/solvent diffusion method to...

1. Microsomal fractions of lactating rabbit mammary gland incubated with UDP-glucose formed lipid-linked mono- and oligo-saccharides. The lipid-linked monosaccharide had chromatographic properties similar to those of dolichol phosphate mannose and yielded glucose on acid hydrolysis. 2. Incubation of the microsomal fraction with GDP-[U14C]-mannose yielded an oligosaccharide lipid of approximatel...

This work gives sequence to the study on the measurement of the electrostatic charges in aerosols. The particle charge classifier developed for this purpose and presented in the previous paper (Marra and Coury, 2000) has been used here to measure the particle charge distribution of a number of different aerosols. The charges acquired by the particles were naturally derived from the aerosol gene...

This work describes the sequential hydrolysis of bambuterol enantiomers and their monocarbamate metabolites (MONO) catalyzed by human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) as well as the enzyme inhibition resulting from this process. Particular emphasis is given to the contribution given by MONO to the enzyme inhibition because it was not fully characterized in previous works. Bambuterol and MONO enanti...

We show that seismic waiting time distributions in California and Iceland have many features in common as, for example, a power-law decay with exponent α ≈ 1.1 for intermediate and with exponent γ ≈ 0.6 for short waiting times. While the transition point between these two regimes scales proportionally with the size of the considered area, the full distribution is not universal and depends in a ...

A modified Wolman pebble count, traditionally used in fluvial science, is used to assess relative ages for glacial moraines at Bloody and Sawmill canyons, eastern California. Results show statistically separable size distributions among surface deposits of five known moraine groups, with finer distributions associated with older deposits. Large variance in clast size prevents robust distinction...
