natural organic wastes contain considerable amounts of nutritional elements. the availability and uptake of nutrient elements in soil) especially in alkali and calcareous soils) increase due to high content of organic matter, and reduce the micro-elements deficiencies. organic wastes have pathogenic contaminations that come from waste type and transmitted by microorganisms such as bacteria, fun...

The SLC51 organic solute transporter family of transporters is a pair heterodimeric proteins which regulate bile salt movements in the small intestine, duct, and liver, as part enterohepatic circulation [2, 5, 1]. OSTα/OSTβ also expressed steroidogenic cells brain adrenal gland, where it may contribute to steroid sulphate movement [6]. Bile acid transport suggested be facilitative independent s...

Isopropylnoradrenaline sulphate (isoprenaline) is a sympathomimetic drug having an action predominantly on the ,B-receptors of the sympathetic system (Moran, 1963). It has been shown in normal man to have positive inotropic and chronotropic actions on the myocardium, producing increases in heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output (Weissler, Leonard, and Warren, 1959). The drug is used exte...

High-field 1H-n.m.r.-spectroscopic studies supported by chemical carbohydrate analyses show that skeletal keratan sulphates (KS-II) of bovine origin may be sub-classified into two groups. Keratan sulphate chains from articular and intervertebral-disc cartilage (KS-II-A) contain two structural features, namely alpha(1----3)-fucose and alpha(2----6)-linked N-acetyl-neuraminic acid residues, that ...

Forty-two patients with a clinical diagnosis of bacterial conjunctivitis were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind trial. Patients were treated with either trimethoprim-polymyxin B sulphate or chloramphenicol ophthalmic ointments 4-times a day for 7 days. Analysis of clinical evaluation data showed that both treatments were effective and well tolerated, and that there were no statistically si...

The paper presents the results of investigations concerning the number, distribution and physiological activity of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) inhabiting the bottom sediments of the Gulf of Gdańsk. The numbers of this group of bacteria range between 0.76× 103 and 1.27× 104 cells per g wet sediment. The bacterial sulphate reduction rate in bottom sediments of this area of the Baltic Sea var...

Berry color is one of the main fruit attributes that affect the marketability of Thompson seedless grapes. Yellowish berries are more desired by consumers especially at the beginning of the season. Consumers in many European countries have been demanding yellowish berries of “Thompson” seedless grapes. Ethrel was found to enhance the breakdown of chlorophylls and the formation of carotenes. How...

BACKGROUND Interstital cystitis is often treated with exogenous glycosaminoglycans such as heparin, chondroitin sulphate (Uracyst), hyaluronate (Cystistat) or the semi-synthetic pentosan polysulphate (Elmiron). The mechanism of action is presumed to be due to a coating of the bladder surface to replace the normally present chondroitin sulphate and heparan sulphate lost as a result of the diseas...

Successful long-term bioremediation of mining-influenced water using complex organic matter and naturally-occurring microorganisms in sub-surface flow constructed wetlands requires a balance between easily and more slowly degrading material. This can be achieved by combining different types of organic materials. To provide guidance on what mixture combinations to use, information is needed on h...

BACKGROUND It is well documented that exercise reduces the risk of thromboembolic disease, possibly by increasing the plasma concentration of anticoagulant-antithrombotic compounds. OBJECTIVES As plasma glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) play a role in the anticoagulant-antithrombotic potential of plasma, to examine the concentration and profile of these compounds in well trained, long distance runner...
