Association between vitamin D and development of otitis media

BACKGROUND Nutrients related to serum vitamin D level were previously shown to be significantly associated with the risk of many chronic diseases. This study aimed to assess potential relationships between serum vitamin D level and otitis media (OM) risk. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched till Aug 18, 2015 for studies of quantitative OM risk estimates in rel...

Kinetic study of interaction between BRL 42715, beta-lactamases, and D-alanyl-D-alanine peptidases.

A detailed kinetic study of the interactions between BRL 42715, a beta-lactamase-inhibiting penem, and various beta-lactamases (EC 3.5.2.6) and D-alanyl-D-alanine peptidases (DD-peptidases, EC 3.4.16.4) is presented. The compound was a very efficient inactivator of all active-site serine beta-lactamases but was hydrolyzed by the class B, Zn(2+)-containing enzymes, with very different kcat value...

Possible mechanisms of interaction between statins and vitamin D.

Myalgia, the most common statin-related complaint, may affect 10–15% of patients on statins and affect patient compliance. There have been several reports regarding the relationship between vitamin D deficiencies and statin-induced myalgia. In addition, vitamin D levels have been reported to affect the lipid lowering actions of some statins. The mechanism of these interactions is poorly underst...

Interaction Between n-octyl- -D-thioglucopyranoside and Bovine Serum Albumin

The binding of the nonionic surfactant n-octyl-D-thioglucopyranoside (OTG) to the globular protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated by using experimental techniques such as surface tension, steady-state fluorescence and dynamic light scattering. It was observed that the surfactant micellization is delayed in the presence of protein; this was interpreted as a consequence of the f...
