industrial effluents consist many pollutant and heavy metals. bacteria isolated from industrial west water ground may have potential to tolerate heavy metal. in this study we isolate a citrobacter sp. which can resist heavy metal like cu and pb. slurry from industrial west water ground was collected from 22.0663 n, 88.1041 e. the heavy metal content and other parameters of soil were estimated. ...

The ultrastructure of lens capsule abnormalities in Alport's syndrome is reported. An anterior lens capsule from a 29-year-old patient with lenticonus who was affected by Alport's syndrome was obtained at the time of surgery. The histopathologic findings showed the thickness of the anterior lens capsule was decreased and there were many vertical capsular dehiscences localized at the inner part ...

PURPOSE The therapeutic equivalence of multiple registered fenofibrate formulations, several of which are suprabioavailable and therefore marketed at lower dosage strengths than their reference products, is based on the results of bioequivalence studies. Most of these formulations show a higher bioavailability when taken with a high-fat meal. The relative bioavailability of two of these formula...

BACKGROUND Video capsule enteroscopy (VCE) has revolutionized small bowel imaging, enabling visual examination of the mucosa of the entire small bowel, while MR enteroclysis (MRE) and CT enteroclysis (CTE) have largely replaced conventional barium enteroclysis. A new indication for MRE and CTE is the clinical suspicion of small bowel strictures, as indicated by delayed or non-delivery of a test...

BACKGROUND Flavanol-rich chocolate and lycopene-rich tomato extract have attracted interest as potential alternative treatment options for hypertension, a known risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Treatment of prehypertension (SBP 120-139/DBP 80-89 mmHg) may forestall progression to hypertension. However, there has been only limited research into non-pharmacological treatmen...

The present study was undertaken to develop superior hybrids for yield and its component traits in Sesamum indicum L. through interspecific hybridization by utilizing S. malabaricum as one of the parents. Direct reciprocal crosses were attempted using eight cultivated varieties malabaricum, which evaluated a total fifteen hybrids. Highly significant positive heterosis observed few vegetative tr...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cirrhosis (CIR) occurs in 5-7% of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. We hypothesized that alterations in intestinal function in CF contribute to the development of CIR. AIMS Determine the frequency of macroscopic intestinal lesions, intestinal inflammation, intestinal permeability and characterize fecal microbiome in CF CIR subjects and CF subjects with no liver disease (CFnoL...

BACKGROUND The aetiology and origin of gastrointestinal symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains poorly understood. Gastroparesis, small bowel transit delay and bacterial overgrowth may, individually or collectively, play a role. AIMS In patients with PD and functional gastrointestinal symptoms, we aimed to determine the utility of the wireless motility capsule and lactulose breath tests ...

in this investigation, diabetes was induced in adult male sprague-dawley rats by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (stz) at 45 mg kg-1 of body weight. a group comprised of 8 diabetic rats was treated with metformin at 100 mg kg-1 of body weight for reducing the elevated blood glucose level. the results revealed that, in the untreated diabetic rats, the body and testicular weigh...
