a GSH instability, as well as a low activity of glucose 6-phosphate-dehydrogenase were demonstrated in those cells (2-5). A similar hereditary abnormality of the erythrocytes has been described in Jews originating from oriental and Mediterranean countries (6-10). It is associated with a susceptibility to hemolysis by various agents such as fava beans, sulpha drugs, para-amino salicylic acid and...

In the field of hip arthroplasties, the secondary fixation of the implants depends directly on the quality of the primary stability. A good acetabular fit and metaphyseal filling between the prostheses and implants improve the initial stabilization, and optimize the transmission of forces to the bone. A precise knowledge of the three-dimensional acetabular or femoral shape is essential to the s...

Phenolic acids have been identified in a variety of legumes including lima bean, broad bean, common bean, pea, jack bean, goa bean, adzuki bean, hyacinth bean, chicking vetch, garbanzo bean, dral, cow bean, rice bean, mung bean and soybean. The present study was carried out with the following aims: (1) to identify and quantify the individual phenolic acid and determine the total phenolic conten...

W e read with great interest the letter of Fava and colleagues, who challenge the conclusions of our article published in EMBO Reports (2013) [1]. Our work described a role for Beclin-1 in chromosome congression and outer kinetochore assembly. We demonstrated that this unexpected role of Beclin-1 is independent of its association with the PI3K-III complex and its well-documented role in autopha...
