conclusions concurrent pulmonary nocardiosis and tuberculosis is frequent in hiv-infected patients. rapid and sensitive methods such as pcr are recommended for detection of such co-infections. results from 157 sputum specimens, positive samples by acid fast staining, culture and pcr for m. tuberculosis were reported for 7.6% (12/157), 10.1% (16/157) and 7% (11/157) of samples, respectively. no ...

BACKGROUND Since an originally anti-ulcer stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (PL 14736) was shown to promote healing of injured striated muscle and smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal tract, we explored its therapeutic potentials for leak point pressure (LPP) recovery in rat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after transabdominal urethrolysis (TU) and prolonged vaginal dilatation (VD). ...

This paper describes the algorithms, heuristics and general strategies used by the two solvers which have been elaborated from the Abscon platform and submitted to the second CSP solver competition. Both solvers maintain generalized arc consistency during search, explore the search space using a conflict-directed variable ordering heuristic, integrate nogood recording from restarts and exploit ...

Galectin-3, a β-galactoside-binding lectin, is a cell adhesion molecule involved in the regulation of tumor progression. However, the importance of galectin-3 in Eca-109 human esophageal cancer cells has not yet been elucidated. In the present study, a lentiviral vector was designed for overexpression of galectin-3 in Eca-109 cells following plasmid‑mediated transfection (Eca-109/Gal-3 cells). ...
