ABSTRACT Introduction: Frequency of Tramadol intoxication is increasing as a result of its use as a drug for suppression of withdrawal symptoms by opioids abusers and its wide accessibility of this drug. Tramadol intoxication can lead to death and, therefore, early identification of its clinical manifestations is crucial since early detection of the intoxication and its treatment could impro...

The base-pairing interactions of promutagenic 06-methylguanine (06-MeGua) with cytosine and thymine in deuterated chloroform were investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Nucleosides were derivatized at hydroxyl positions with triisopropylsilyl groups to obtain solubility in nonaqueous solvents and to prevent the ribose hydroxyls from forming hydrogen bonds. We were able to observe hydrogen-bonding...

The Fifteenth Asian Test Symposium (ATS’06) and the SeventhWorkshop on RTL and High Level Testing (WRTLT’06) were held in Fukuoka, Japan on November 20th–23rd and 23rd–24th, respectively. Excellent works on state-of-the-art and wide-spread ideas and techniques were presented and discussed in ATS’06, while WRTLT’06 provided more frank discussion focusing on RTL and high level testing. We took th...

The proceedings present the accepted contributions for the 5 International Workshop on Critical Systems Development Using Modeling Languages (CSDUML’06). CSDUML’06 takes place on October 1, 2006, in Genova, Italy, and is organised in conjunction with MoDELS’06 (October 1 – 6, 2006). The papers represent research in four areas: specification and analysis, system synthesis, verification, and indu...

Objective. To determine whether the level of apoptosis induced by infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is related to the amino acid sequence of the BH2 domain of the VP5 protein and the level of infectivity. Materials and methods. Three IPNV strains were used, the VP2 protein gene was amplified for genotyping and the VP5 sequence was also obtained. The infectivity of the strains was calc...
