The crude ethanol extract obtained from the root of Phyllanthus acuminatus Vahl was found to inhibit growth in the P388 leukemia system in mice. Kupchan and coworkers traced the significant pharmacological properties to a bisabolane sesquiterpene glycoside, (+)-phyllanthoside (0' Although the structure of the corresponding aglycon (+)-phyllanthocin (2) was elucidated by single-crystal X-ray dif...

Two field experiments were conducted at the Research and Production Station, National Research Centre, Nubaria Province, Behaira Governorate, Egypt during two successive winter seasons 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 to study the effect of indole acetic acid (IAA) at 0, 50 and 75 mg/l and kinetin (Kin) at 0, 50, 75 and 100 mg/l individually or in combination on two faba bean cultivars (Nubaria 1 and Gi...

Blood culture contamination greatly affects clinical decisions. Hence, it is of interest to assess the influence of factors such as the volume of blood drawn and the site of blood draw on the rates of blood culture contamination. In a retrospective study, blood cultures from infants and children up to 18 years of age who had at least one positive blood culture during the year 2006 were analyzed...

AE1 (anion exchanger 1) is a glycoprotein found in the plasma membrane of erythrocytes, where it mediates the electroneutral exchange of chloride and bicarbonate, a process important in CO2 removal from tissues. It had been previously shown that human AE1 purified from erythrocytes is covalently modified at Cys-843 in the membrane domain with palmitic acid. In this study, the role of Cys-843 in...
