Duodenal Biopsy in Diarrhea and Steatorrhea ‡

Beginning with Gee's7 mention of atrophy of glandular crypts in 1888, many investigators of idiopathic sprue agreed that the significant changes in the small bowel at autopsy consisted of mucosal and villous atrophy, edema, and chronic mucosal inflammation and ulceration. Later, these observations were dismissed by Thaysene as due to post-mortem autolysis. According to Suarez et al.,' Koppisch ...

Screening of Mushrooms for Polysaccharides

Background: Mushrooms have been valued as high tasty nutritional and nutraceutical food throughout the world. At present 270 species of mushrooms are known to have various nutritional and therapeutic properties. Polysaccharides are the primary content of mushrooms that are used for their pharmaceutical properties as immunostimulators. Objectives: Here, Mushrooms were screened for useful polysa...

SCREENING FOR STARCH-HYDROLYSING BACTERIA

Screening of3000 soil samples collected from cities of four different provinces of Iran for starch-hydrolysing bacteria revealed that the nature is enriched with Streptomyces species capable of producing amylolytic enzymes. Among the bacterial isolates, one of the high starch-degrading strains was selected for further microbiological identification and also amylolytic enzyme(s) characteriza...

Improved Procedure for Screening Expression Libraries for Novel Autoantigens

The standard method for immunoscreening of a cDNA expression library is time-consuming becauseof the production of a large proportion of false positives during the first and second round of screening.This problem is more important when a sensitive chemiluminescence detection system is used. Due tothe high sensitivity of the detection system, there is a need to avoid false posi...
