Our skin is under continuous assault from damaging exposomal factors ultraviolet irradiation, heat and cold temperatures, air pollutants smoke ozone which alter the barrier, affect sensitivity, can increase chronic low-level inflammation accelerating aging process (inflammaging) exacerbate symptoms of compromised skin. Studies have shown anti-inflammatory properties oat (Avena sativa). Furtherm...

The issue of the sources and nature nutrition ancient population is undoubtedly important to reproduce general picture its life. Archaeologists learn about this, analyzing remains foodstuffs or equipment, which have been found during excavation sites may indicate manufacture usage such products.
 Subcarpathian territory in 3rd—4th centuries was inhabited by tribes Carpathian Barrows Cultur...

Methamphetamine (MA) is an addictive drug with neurotoxic effects on the brain producing cognitive impairment and increasing the risk for neurodegenerative disease. Research has focused largely on examining the neurochemical and behavioral deficits induced by injecting relatively high doses of MA [30 mg/kg of body weight (bw)] identifying the upper limits of MA-induced neurotoxicity. Accordingl...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Specific dietary patterns, including the Mediterranean diet, have been associated with stroke prevention. Our aim was to investigate whether adherence to a healthy Nordic diet, including fish, apples and pears, cabbages, root vegetables, rye bread, and oatmeal, was associated with risk of stroke. METHODS Incident cases of stroke among 55 338 men and women from the Danis...

A culture-based survey of staining fungi on oil-treated timber after outdoor exposure in Australia and the Netherlands uncovered new taxa in Pezizomycotina. Their taxonomic novelty was confirmed by phylogenetic analyses of multi-locus sequences (ITS, nrSSU, nrLSU, mitSSU, RPB1, RPB2, and EF-1α) using multiple reference data sets. These previously unknown taxa are recognised as part of a new ord...

Rapamycin (RPM) is produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus FC904 isolated from soil in Fuzhou, China. It is a triene macrolide antibiotic with potential application as an immunosuppressant and drug for human gene therapy. In an attempt to improve rapamycin production, mutation and screening of the parent culture have been carried out. Thousands of survivors were obtained after mutagenesis by NTG...

In the course of our screening for new antibiotics, we have found heneicomycin (antibiotic A21A)1) in culture broth of a newly isolated strain of Streptomyces filipinensis, designated NRRL #11044 (MA-4581 in the Merck & Co., Inc. culture collection). From the physico-chemical and biological properties described in this communication, heneicomycin is considered to be equivalent to 3-deoxyaurodox...
