cemented Harrington-style technique. Levels of evidence Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.Background The Danish Hip Arthroscopy Registry (DHAR) started as a web-based prospective registry in 2012. The aim of this study was to evaluate and report epidemiologic and perioperative data…[Read more]

In order to exploit an abundant and cheap carbon source for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production, the rice husk was pretreated with dilute sulfuric acid and steam flash-explosion to enhance the enzymatic saccharification. The yield of reducing sugars of pretreated rice husk hydrolysate came up to 266.5 mg/g rice husk, much higher than that of…[Read more]

Multiple resistance and pH adaptation (Mrp) antiporters are multi-subunit Na+ (or K+)/H+ exchangers representing an ancestor of many essential redox-driven proton pumps, such as respiratory complex I. The mechanism of coupling between ion or electron transfer and proton translocation in this large protein family is unknown. Here, we present the…[Read more]

Invertebrate community structure (primary consumers) reflected the metal exposure, measured as changes in assemblage composition through species turnover. Diatom community composition was best associated with variables related to wetter/drier alternation and consequent changes in oxygen availability. Bioindicators analyzed (diatoms, diapausing egg…[Read more]

The transcripts of NtDREB1, NtDREB2, NtERD10A, NtERD10B, NtERD10C, NtERD10D, NtMnSOD, NtCDPK15, and NtMPK9 in AcSnRK2.11-overexpressing tobacco lines were more abundant than in WT plants under low-temperature stress. These results suggest that AcSnRK2.11 may function as a regulatory factor associated with a cold-response pathway and could be used…[Read more]

Purpose The ocular surface microbiota are recognised as one of causative microorganisms in post-procedural endophthalmitis but in many cases the vitreous tap is culture negative. This study investigated bacterial contamination of intravitreal (IVT) needles using multiple approaches covering culturing, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, fluorescent in situ…[Read more]
