Abstract Background The functional implications of left ventricular (LV) morphological characterization in congenital heart disease (CHD) are not widely explored. Purpose This study qualitatively and quantitatively assessed LV shape associations with a) function b) thoracic aortic morphology patients coarctation (CoA) with/without bicuspid valve (BAV). Methods A statistical modelling (SSM) fram...

La degradación de los ecosistemas en Andes, una las regiones con mayor biodiversidad del mundo, es atribuida principalmente a la deforestación y fragmentación. implementación áreas protegidas (AP) estrategia conservación efectiva para mitigar efectos transformación paisaje sobre biodiversidad. En Cordillera Occidental Colombia, Antioquia, se estableció recientemente el Corredor Oso Anteojos (CO...

To identify cracks in a structure, an inverse analysis has been performed using the static and dynamic response of structure. The accuracy is highly dependent on form objective function choice optimization method. Generally, method searching solution by gradient adopted. However, for crack problem interested this study, it known to have drawback that search strongly depends initial value settin...

Rates of peroxisomal beta-oxidation were measured as fatty acyl-CoA-dependent NAD+ reduction, by using solubilized peroxisomal fractions isolated from livers of rats treated with clofibrate. Medium- to long-chain saturated fatty acyl-CoA esters as well as long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acyl-CoA esters were used. Peroxisomal beta-oxidation shows optimal specificity towards long-chain polyunsat...

Phototrophic CO(2) assimilation by the primitive, green eubacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus has been shown earlier to proceed in a cyclic mode via 3-hydroxypropionate, propionyl-CoA, succinyl-CoA, and malyl-CoA. The metabolic cycle could be closed by cleavage of malyl-CoA affording glyoxylate (the primary CO(2) fixation product) with regeneration of acetyl-CoA serving as the starter unit of th...

1. Cytoplasmic acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase was highly purified in good yield from rat liver extracts. 2. Mg(2+) inhibits the rate of acetoacetyl-CoA thiolysis but not the rate of synthesis of acetoacetyl-CoA. Measurement of the velocity of thiolysis at varying Mg(2+) but fixed acetoacetyl-CoA concentrations gave evidence that the keto form of acetoacetyl-CoA is the true substrate. 3. Linear recipr...

BackgroundAlthough surgical repair was the traditional first-line treatment for native coarctation of aorta (CoA), balloon angioplasty (BA) and stenting are now increasingly being performed.

The goal of this study was to test the relationship between malonyl-CoA concentration and its turnover measured in isolated rat hearts perfused with NaH(13)CO(3). This turnover is a direct measurement of the flux of acetyl-CoA carboxylation in the intact heart. It also reflects the rate of malonyl-CoA decarboxylation, i.e. the only known fate of malonyl-CoA in the heart. Conditions were selecte...

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) insanlarda ve hayvanlarda patojen bir tür olup, dünyadaki gıda kaynaklı zehirlenmelerin en önemli nedenlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada farklı hayvan türlerine (sığır, koyun, keçi tavuk) ait etlerde gıdaların temas ettiği yüzeylerden elde edilen örneklerde S. aureus’un koagülaz (coa), clumping faktör (clfA) protein A (spa-IgG; spa-X) gibi virülens genlerinin mole...
