Halomonas zincidurans strain B6 was isolated from a deep-sea heavy metal rich sediment from the South Atlantic Mid-Ocean Ridge. The strain showed significant resistance to heavy metals, especially to zinc. Here we describe the genome sequence and annotation, as well as the features, of the organism. The genome contains 3,325 protein-coding genes (2,848 with predicted functions), 61 tRNA genes a...

aim : this study was conducted to evaluate the influence h. pylori infection and anti- caga status on the efficacy of omeperazole 20 m.g. b.d. for patients with endoscopic oesophagitis. background : the influence of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection and its virulent strain (cytotoxin-associated gene a: caga ) has not been evaluated on efficacy of treatment for patients with erosive oeso...

Halomonas zincidurans strain B6(T) was isolated from a deep-sea heavy metal rich sediment from the South Atlantic Mid-Ocean Ridge. The strain showed significant resistance to heavy metals, especially to zinc. Here we describe the genome sequence and annotation, as well as the features, of the organism. The genome contains 3,325 protein-coding genes (2,848 with predicted functions), 61 tRNA gene...

background recently, assessment of the atrial motion and deformation indices obtained via doppler myocardial imaging (dmi) has been proposed as a new method of exploring the atrial function. objective our aim was to assess the right atrial (ra) regional function using myocardial velocities, strain, and strain rate imaging (sri) and compare it with the function of the inter-atrial septum (ias) a...

background: mechanotransduction plays a pivotal role in remodeling and repair of skeletal tissues. this mechanism has been widely used in bone tissue engineering especially under in vitro conditions. to date, various stem cells have been used for this purpose. the present study was thefirst to evaluate the effect of mechanical loading on differentiation of human endometrial stemcells (hescs) to...

The structural diversity of the lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) from Helicobacter pylori poses a challenge to establish accurate and strain-specific structure-function relationships in interactions with host. Here, LPS domains five clinical isolates were obtained compared reference strain 26695. This was achieved combining information analysis (GC-MS ESI-MSn) binding data after interrogation LPS-der...

conclusions the distribution patterns of phase-variable genes in pakistani h. pylori strains were found to be somewhat different. the dominant prevalence of the hsdr gene was an interesting finding, considering its role in bacterial defense in both micro- and macroenvironments. results on culturing, the prevalence of h. pylori infections in the samples was 44.7%. the prevalence was higher in fe...

PURPOSE To study change patterns of 24 h intraocular pressure (IOP) in conscious and freely moving mice using telemetry. METHODS Adult C57BL/6J and CBA/CaJ mice were entrained to a standard 12 h light and 12 h dark cycle. A telemetric pressure transmitter was implanted subcutaneously on the upper back of each light-dark entrained mouse, and the pressure catheter tip was inserted into the vitr...

Objective(s): Treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection by common drugs may be associated with several problems such as antimicrobial resistance to commonly used antibiotics and side effects of employed drugs. Therefore, exploration of non-chemical compounds which are safer than chemical ones is becoming important as an alternative therapy. The purpose of this study w...
