S defined by PONTECORVO (1958) , recombination is ". . . any process which Agives origin to cells or individuals associating in new ways two or more hereditary determinants in which their ancestors differed . . .". According to this definition, genetic transformations of bacteria constitute a special mode of recombination. In transformation a new combination of hereditary determinants is produc...

conclusions in selected recipients with psc, dd reconstruction is a safe and efficacious technique, with long-term clinical outcomes comparable to ryh. background while roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy (ryh) is the common anastomotic technique for liver transplantation (lt) in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc), duct-to-duct (dd) reconstruction may be used if the recipient common b...

conclusions: e. coli herb-resistance plasmid can replicate and be expressed in s. aureus. results: the identified 45 kb herb-resistance plasmid could be transferred from e. coli cp9 isolates to e. coli dh5α. as a consequence e. coli dh5α transconjugant mic increased from 0.0125 g/ml to 0.25 g/ml. the plasmid was easily transferred from e. coli cp9 strain to s. aureus rn450rf with a mean transfe...

Crowding of termites may influence observed recipient mortality in donor-recipient toxicant transfer studies. It was hypothesized that if crowding were important , any termiticide (particularly repellent termiticides, which were not thought to transfer) could be transferred by contact among termites when the donor complement was sufficient. Termiticide transfer donorrecipient studies were perfo...

The selection of recipient vessels that are suitable for microvascular anastomosis in the head and neck region is one of many components that is essential for successful free tissue transfer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a set of factors that are related to the recipient artery and vein and to determine how these factors influence flap survival. A retrospective review of 102 patien...

BACKGROUND Liver transplantation is a costly procedure and its cost is likely driven by both donor and recipient factors. Recently, the recipient model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score has been correlated with increased posttransplant cost; however, other factors have not been identified. We sought to identify if other donor and recipient factors are associated with increased cost. ME...
