BACKGROUND The objective of this quasi experimental study was to compare the frequency of wound infection between open cholecystectomy (OC) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) conducted in Surgical Unit IV, Jinnah Hospital Lahore from June 2005 to January 2006. METHODS 100 patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones were studied. The patients were allocated in th...

The type II restriction endonucleases form one of the largest families of biochemically-characterized proteins. These endonucleases typically share little sequence similarity, except among isoschizomers that recognize the same sequence. MmeI is an unusual type II restriction endonuclease that combines endonuclease and methyltransferase activities in a single polypeptide. MmeI cuts DNA 20 bases ...

We investigated the integrated cardiovascular responses of 15 human subjects to the acute gravitational changes (micro- and hypergravity portions) of parabolic flight. Measurements were made with subjects quietly seated and while subjects performed controlled Valsalva maneuvers. During quiet, seated, parabolic flight, mean arterial pressure increased during the transition into microgravity but ...

Two restriction-modification systems have been previously discovered in Thermus aquaticus YT-1. TaqI is a 263-amino acid (aa) Type IIP restriction enzyme that recognizes and cleaves within the symmetric sequence 5'-TCGA-3'. TaqII, in contrast, is a 1105-aa Type IIC restriction-and-modification enzyme, one of a family of Thermus homologs. TaqII was originally reported to recognize two different ...

Self-incompatible het-6OR/het-6PA partial diploids of Neurospora crassa were selected from a cross involving the translocation strain, T(IIL-->IIIR)AR18, and a normal sequence strain. About 25% of the partial diploids exhibited a marked increase in growth rate after 2 weeks, indicating that "escape" from het-6 incompatibility had occurred. Near isogenic tester strains with different alleles (he...

Deficiency of subunit 6 of the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG6) complex causes a new combined N- and O-glycosylation deficiency of the congenital disorders of glycosylation, designated as CDG-IIL (COG6-CDG). The index patient presented with a severe neurologic disease characterized by vitamin K deficiency, vomiting, intractable focal seizures, intracranial bleedings and fatal outcome in early ...

These fractions also subject to direct observational determination. Here, we search 10 remnants containing compact objects with proper motions unbound using Gaia EDR3 new...
