fight stress generated by oxidants. Here, we report a new mechanism used by E. faecalis to sense heme and trigger the synthesis of a heme efflux pump that balances the amount of heme inside the bacteria. We show in a mouse model that E. faecalis uses this mechanisms within the gastrointestinal tract.While the early stages of biofilm formation have…[Read more]

Intralesional immunotherapy using different types of antigens is considered an effective and safe treatment option for different types of warts. However, there are few studies that illustrate the use of these antigens in the treatment of periungual warts as a distinct type of warts.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of three antigens…[Read more]

0358, p=0.0213, respectively) in the increase in CON180 (mean±SD) and ECC60 between the HTS group (Δ6.0±6.0Nm, p=0.015; Δ7.5±4.7Nm p=0.0007, respectively) and the EB group (Δ0.3±5.2Nm, p=0.8589; Δ1.8±5.3 Nm p=0.3133, respectively). There was a trend toward CON60 increasing in the HTS group (Δ4.7±6.5Nm, p=0.0494) which was greater than in the con…[Read more]

The limitations of FTIR and Py-GC/MS techniques to distinguish the minor changes in cellulose crystallinity were discussed.

Several recent studies have shown that the role of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) in carcinogenesis has become more evident. It affects angiogenesis, apoptosis, and invasion, and plays a key role in the production of…[Read more]
