65 Clearly it is essential to have an organized, experienced team in place. One needs an energetic endo-scopist, an aggressive surgeon; a capable anesthesio-logist and the rest of the supporting cast to undertake prompt diagnostic procedures, perform major surgery quickly, to provide nutritional support and to carry the patient through the post-operative period and a long term follow-up. Despit...

Natural products may increase cytotoxic activity of Natural Killer Cells (NK) Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-alpha) while decreasing DNA damage in patients with late-stage cancer. Pilot studies have suggested that a combination of Nutraceuticals can raise NK cell function and TNF-alpha alpha activity and result in improved clinical outcomes in patients with late stage cancer. The objective of...

IN the ordinary putrefaction of protein material the protein-sulphur is liberated mainly as hydrogen sulphide accompanied in a few cases by relatively small amounts of mercaptans. The present paper is an account of an organism which is capable of the aerobic degradation of l-cystine with the direct liberation of free sulphur. In earlier work on the bacterial decomposition of cystine the medium ...

Pyrolysis of waste tyres produces harmful hydrogen sulfide and other mercaptan compounds as by-products. The current study is concerned with the purification hydrogen-rich pyrolysis gas from that present in a great amount (up to 5.1% mol at 420 °C), mercaptans are also problematic impurities. method proposed absorption by alkanolamines which one most economical methods applied natural sweetenin...

In a systematic search for effectors of glutathione peroxidase, a number of mercaptocarboxylic acids and tertiary mercaptans were found to be strong and specific inhibitors of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. Assessment of various models was made by linear and nonlinear least squares fitting techniques. The results support the formation of reversible enzyme-inhibitor complexes. The active sit...
