Hemolysins purified from non-O1 Vibrio cholerae (non-O1 hemolysin) and a Vibrio cholerae O1, biotype El Tor (El Tor hemolysin) were investigated for their homology. The hemolysins were isolated from the culture supernatant fluids by ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 columns. The purified hemolysins gave single bands with an identical mobility on conventional po...

Fish glial cells were obtained from cultivated segments of the optic nerve and raised in vitro. Two types of cells were identified as astrocyte- and oligodendrocyte-like glia by the monoclonal antibody Mab O1 (specific for oligodendrocytes) and the rabbit serum anti-goldfish glial fibrillary acidic protein (anti-G-GFAP). Cells of compact morphology were rare, and anti-G-GFAP positive and O1 neg...

Abstract Electroencephalogram (EEG) alpha power (8–13 Hz) is a characteristic of various creative task conditions and involved in ideation. Alpha varies as function creativity-related demands. This study investigated the event-related potentials (ERPs), activation, potential machine learning (ML) to classify neural responses engineering students with creativity task. All participants performed ...

The coherent dehydration of pure-Mg wadsleyite has been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at high temperature and room pressure. Hydrous wadsleyite with 2.8 wt% H2O has monoclinic unit-cell parameters of a = 5.6693(4), b = 11.571(1), c = 8.2407(5) Å, = 90.209(3) , and V = 540.59(7) Å. Dehydration begins at 635 K with an abrupt increase in the a-axis and decrease in b. After dehyd...

Adult rabbits were inoculated orally (or duodenally) with virulent Vibrio cholerae O1. Jejunal colonization occurred only when hypoperistalsis was induced at the time of inoculation by tincture of opium given intraperitoneally (or by temporary ileal obstruction). For oral inoculation, prior neutralization of gastric acid was also required. Inoculation with 10(9) V. cholerae caused jejunal colon...

Adiponectin is an adipokine that sensitizes the body to insulin. Low levels of adiponectin have been reported in obesity, diabetes and periodontitis. In this study we established experimental periodontitis in male adiponectin knockout and diet-induced obesity mice, a model of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and aimed at evaluating the therapeutic potential of adiponectin. We found that systemic ad...

derivative3–6 (1) have been reported to have a greater tendency to yield polynuclear complexes. This communication presents the X-ray structure of the Ni–Mn–Ni complex (2) prepared using ligand 1 (Fig. 1). The title complex was prepared in two steps. Step 1: After the ligand (0.01 mol, 2.98 g) was dissolved in hot EtOH (50 mL), a solution of NiCl2·6H2O (0.01 mol, 2.37 g) in hot water (30 mL) an...

We report on the development and testing of a novel, rapid, colorimetric immunodiagnostic kit, Cholera SMART, for direct detection of the presence of Vibrio cholerae O1 in clinical specimens. Unlike conventional culture methods requiring several days to complete, the Cholera SMART kit can be used directly in the field by untrained or minimally skilled personnel to detect V. cholerae O1 in less ...
