Data concerning serological classification of spiroplasmas are in good agreement, but slightly different numerical designations have been given to existing groups. It is proposed that a standardized system be adopted based on information developed mainly by the IRPCM working team on spiroplasmas. The type species (Spiroplasma citri) should be redefined to include only the agent of citrus stubbo...

The nature of the antigens stimulating xenogeneic lymphocytes was studied using "primed LD typing". Human lymphocytes were sensitized in vitro against mouse spleen cells and restimulated with spleen cells of mouse strains sharing non-H-2 antigens or various regions of H-2 with the initial stimulating strain. The largest thymidine uptake was caused by restimulation with cells from the specific p...

a total of 493 of sa/mal/ella typh] were phage typed the most predominant among these being type f i. kristensen reaction showed that the lysotypcs identified in iran follow the same biochemical pattern as the lysotypes isolated in other countries. as observed in other areas a great majority of our strains also possess the tetrathionate reductase enzyme. colicinogenc properly was found to be pr...

We find an l = 2 shape resonance fingerprinted in the angular distribution of cold (∼1 K) Δj rotationally inelastic collision D2 with He a single supersonic expansion. The Stark-induced adiabatic Raman passage is used to prepare (v 2, j 2) rovibrational level control spatial bond axis molecule by magnetic sublevel selection. show that rate D2–D2 relaxation nearly two orders magnitude weaker tha...

I have read with great interest the paper of Ghaffari et al. [1] ‘Effect of psychosocial factors on low back pain in industrial workers’. The Iranian prospective study confirms the aetiological role of job strain for low back pain (LBP). However, a rather surprising finding is reported, but not discussed: social support at the workplace apparently increases LBP prevalence. In logistic regressio...

introduction: β-carbolines are shown to have significant anti-inflammatory effect via the inhibition of some inflammatory mediators including tnf-α and pge2. in previous studies purkinje cell deterioration have been proposed the dominant pathogenesis of harmaline toxicity. win55, 212-2 is a non-selective cannabinoid cb1 and cb2 receptor agonist. combination of win55, 212-2 and am 251(cb1-select...

AIMS Left ventricular (LV) torsion may be an important component of normal LV systolic function. However, its mechanics remain unresolved. Two-dimensional (2-D) strain imaging is increasingly used to quantify LV torsion in the clinical setting. Telmisartan has cardioreparative effects, including attenuation of subendocardial myocardial fibrosis and improvement of LV remodelling. To clarify the ...
