Methods Between January 1 2014 – July 15 2014, 5038 throat swabs were sampled from patients hospitalized in INBI Matei Balş according to standard methods. All beta-hemolytic streptococci suspected colonies were tested with bacitracin (0.04%) disks and we used the latex agglutination kit Omega Latex Diagnostic Avipath Strep. Erythromycin resistance testing was performed by disc 2μg Oxoid and cli...

The urine of two patients with Refsum's disease consistently contained 2,6-dimethyloctanedioic acid, a compound not normally found in human urine. In addition, their urines contained increased concentrations of 3-methylhexanedioic acid. These two compounds may be formed from phytanic acid by an initial omega-oxidation and subsequent beta-oxidations. It was calculated that this oxidation pathway...

The acylglucosylceramides of pig epidermis comprise 56% of the total glucosylceramides and 3.3% of the total epidermal lipid by weight. Contrary to an earlier report on this lipid, the amide-linked fatty acid is not a dihydroxypentatriacontadienoic acid; rather, the fatty acids are a series of long chain omega-hydroxy acids consisting of 58% saturates, 35% monoenes, and 7% dienes, with predomin...

The 5'-untranslated leader of maize (Zea mays) heat-shock protein (hsp) 70 mRNA is required for translational competence during heat shock in protoplasts. When the beta-glucuronidase gene was used as a reporter mRNA, expression at elevated temperatures increased more than 10-fold when the hsp70 leader constituted the 5'-untranslated region. The hsp70 leader did not affect the physical half-life...

Many more Na2 2 3pi(g) v = 0-43, omega = 0, 1, 2 levels have been observed by sub-Doppler continuous wave perturbation facilitated optical-optical double resonance fluorescence excitation spectroscopy and the hyperfine structure of the omega = 0 and 2 levels has been resolved. New molecular constants for the less perturbed v = 0-43 levels have been obtained with these new and the previously rep...

In this article, we show the existence of a nonnegative solution to singular problem $(\mc P_\la)$ posed in bounded domain $\Omega$ $\mb R^2$ (see below). We achieve by approximating function $u^{-\beta}\log(u)$ $l_\e(u)$ which pointwisely converges $-u^\beta\log(u)$ as $\e \ra 0$. Using variational techniques, perturbed equation $-\De u+l_\e(u)=\ds\la \left(\I{\Om}\frac{F(u(y))}{|x-y|^\mu}dy\r...

background and purpose: recent reports suggest that increased homocysteine is a risk factor for heart disease. on the other hand, regular exercise and supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids have been effective in reducing these diseases. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the interaction effect of 8 weeks of aerobic training and omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on plasma homocysteine c...
