Understanding the antibiotic susceptibility of Salmonella enterica is important both from a clinical treatment and a public health perspective. The emergence of extended spectrum ß-lactamases (ESßLs) and AmpC ß-lactamases in S. enterica is important, as this will limit treatment options and could provide a strain with a significant selective advantage. The aim of the study was to screen isolate...

Odontogenic keratocyst is now designated by the World Health Organization as a keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT). According to recent reports Wnt pathway and ß-catenin are involved in the pathogenesis of the majority of odontogenic and neoplastic lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of ß-catenin in KCOT and compare it with those of dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma...

The proper localization of ß-actin mRNA and protein is essential for growth cone guidance and axon elongation in cultured neurons. In addition, decreased levels of ß-actin mRNA and protein have been identified in the growth cones of motor neurons cultured from a mouse model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), suggesting that ß-actin loss-of-function at growth cones or pre-synaptic nerve terminals...

Burnout is associated with poor mental and physical functioning and high costs for societies. Personality attributes may critically increase the risk of personal burnout. We specifically examined whether narcissism associates with personal burnout in a working population. We studied n=1,461 employees (mean age 41.3 ± 9.4 yr, 52% men) drawn from a random sample of a pharmaceutical company in Ger...

Introduction: Beta-actin is a housekeeping gene, which is used as an internal standard in various biological studies. Recently, it was reported that the expression of commonly used housekeeping genes including ß–actin changes in disease states or under certain experimental conditions. Based on the reports about the effects of sex hormones on the expression of the ß- actin gene, in this study...

Increasingly antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are developed for potential treatment of CNS disorders, and due to the inability cross blood brain barrier, they require direct administration into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In this regard, intrathecal (i.th.) in cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) is a well-established approach preclinical safety studies. Here, we present an innovative that ...

abstract introduction major ß thalassemia represents a group of recessively inherited hemoglobin disorder, which is characterized by reduced synthesis of globins chains. frequent blood transfusions can lead to iron overload, which may result in several endocrine complication especially in the absence of adequate chelating therapy. the objective of this study were to determine the prevalence of ...

ß-Carotene is present in extremely high concentrations in bovine corpus luteum. The aim of this study was to examine the extent of the seasonal variation in concentrations of luteal ß-carotene in cows. A total of 102 corpora lutea collected throughout all 12 months of the year were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The mean ß-carotene concentration of the luteal tissues...
