In this study, 58 endophytic bacterial strains were isolated from pods of two hybrid vanilla plants Madagascar, Manitra ampotony and Tsy taitra. They genetically characterized divided into four distinct phylotypes. Three associated to genus Bacillus species, the fourth Curtobacterium. A selection twelve corresponding identified genetic diversity tested in vitro for phytobeneficial capacities: p...

Li, Maddala, and Rush (1995) proposed a low-pass spectral filter method to estimate cointegrating vectors in small samples. This paper tests the effectiveness of the approach in the presence of measurement error. Two other methods, valid under the assumption of stationarity, are also tested.

The Institute of Public Health for the Osjek-Baranja County (OBC) has processed the data on cancer patients that were collected from mandatory county hospitals data reports, county bureaus of statistics and the County Register of Deaths. The cancers were defined according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10), codes of ma...

This study was aimed at extraction optimization of antibacterial agents from Carica papaya seed against S. enteritidis, B. cereus, V. vulnificus and P. mirabilis as affected by sonication-assisted (SAE), contact time (CT) solid-to-solvent ratio (SSR). The principal component analysis (PCA) individual evaluation approaches identified that no SAE, 8 CT 1:10 SSR were the best treatments with highe...

A bacterial strain designated KDG-16 T is isolated from a freshwater waterfall in Taiwan and characterized to determine its taxonomic affiliation. Cells of are Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile by gliding, rod-shaped form light yellow colonies. Optimal growth occurs at 20–25 °C, pH 6–7, with 0% NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences an up-to-date core set revea...

PURPOSE A wide variety of tumors depend on the dysregulation of Bcl-2 family proteins for survival. The resulting apoptotic block can often provide a mechanism for resistance to anticancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. This current study evaluates the efficacy of combining systemically delivered Bcl-2 phosphorothioate antisense (Bcl-2 ASO) and radiation for nasopharyngeal canc...

EBV-related nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPCs) still raise serious therapeutic problems. The therapeutic potential of the histone-deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor Abexinostat was investigated using 5 preclinical NPC models including 2 patient-derived xenografts (C15 and C17). The cytotoxicity of Abexinostat used either alone or in combination with cis-platin or irradiation was assessed in vitro by MT...
