Thermotherapy and chemotherapy in vitro were applied to eliminate Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) and Prunus necrotic ring spot virus (PNRSV) from myrobalan (Prunus cerasifera var. divaricata Borgh.), PNRSV from ‘Empress’ plum (Prunus domestica L.) and Prune dwarf virus (PDV) from ‘Early Rivers’ sweet cherry (Cerasus avium (L.) Moench.) plants. ELISA assays conducted one year after ther...

Heat shock and almost all types of stresses associated with oxidative stress are accompanied by heat protein (HSP) expression. HSPs involved in refolding denatured proteins directing unrepairable for degradation. Thus, under conditions, help to restore cellular balance. However, virus-infected plants, HSP70 can have both positive negative effects because viruses usually recruit HSP70. promote t...

The authors studied a 1-year effect of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) using the PROSTCARE apparatus (Bruker Spectrospin Wissembourg, Frace) on 35 patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The device is equipped with a unique non-invasive system "radiometry" for the measurement of the intraprostatic temperature to regulate the microwave emission power and to eli...
