Plant Aldehyde Dehydrogenase10 (ALDH10) enzymes catalyze the oxidation of ω-primary or ω-quaternary aminoaldehydes, but, intriguingly, only some of them, such as the spinach (Spinacia oleracea) betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (SoBADH), efficiently oxidize betaine aldehyde (BAL) forming the osmoprotectant glycine betaine (GB), which confers tolerance to osmotic stress. The crystal structure of So...

tuberculosis (TB) is a serious health problem in the world.in 1990 among 5.5 million population in the world,nearly 7.5 million new cases reported and 3 million  patients expired due to this problem.because early detectio of TB is very important ,we decided to evaluate the role of fiberoptic bronchoscopy(FOB) in detection of TB in patients with negative smear and negative culture of sputum.in t...

Both theory and observations suggest that outflows driven by an active central supermassive black hole have a feedback effect on shaping the global properties of host galaxy1–8. However, whether from outflow is effective, if so, it positive or negative, long been controversial. Here, using latest catalogue Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we use flux ratio [O ii] to [Ne v] emission lines as proxy comp...

Several extracorporeal bioartificial liver (BAL) devices are currently being evaluated as an alternative or adjunct therapy for liver disease. While these hybrid systems show promise, in order to become a clinical reality, BAL devices must clearly demonstrate efficacy in improving patient outcomes. Here, we present aspects of BAL devices that could benefit from fundamental advances in cell and ...

blood. Similar results in the pleural fluid have been reported by Groman et al;i however, in this report BAL cell analysis was not available. In our patients, the lymphocyte profile found in pkural effusion was closer to that seen in BAL. Lymphocyte subpopulation findings in the pleural fluid seem to be representative ofthe pleural histologic involvement, as BAL is of alveolitis. By contrast, i...

The development of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (British Anti-Lewisite, BAL) by Peters, Stocken, and Thompson (1) has made available a potent antidote for arsenical poisoning. Study of the chemical combination of arsenic with sensitive enzymes and cells indicated that the arsenic could, under certain circumstances, be removed from the cells, and that enzymes could be reactivated by the action of BAL ...
