Eight isolates of Desulfovibrio spp. have been obtained over 5 years from abdominal or brain abscesses or blood. Seven isolates were part of a mixed flora [corrected]. One strain was isolated in pure culture from the blood of a patient with peritonitis of appendicular origin. According to the 16S rRNA gene sequences, this strain was close to Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis. The present report desc...

Mouse models are employed to unravel the pathophysiology of vascular restenosis. Although much effort has been spent on how to apply an adequate arterial injury, the influence of the genetic background of mice has not yet received sufficient consideration. The study presented herein was designed to demonstrate the influence of the mouse strain on vascular injury response. Mice of a defined back...

Commercial staphylococcal nuclease (Foggi strain) containing small amounts of contaminating protein can be purified by chromatography on phosphorylated cellulose columns. The purified enzyme is free of acid and alkaline phosphatase activities. It is homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electroptfresis, and antigenically pure by immunodiffusion. The E” 1 Cm of the pure enzyme at neutral pH is 9.3 a...

background: echinocuccus granulosus, the causative agent of cystic echinococcosis has long been recognized as having a high degree of genetic divergence. the strains characterization seems to be essential for the establishment of a preventive and control strategy in every endemic area. using dna based methods for strain /genotype characterizations of e. granulosus have some difficulties, especi...

In this study, the effect of annealing temperature on material properties and structural cuprous oxide was studied in order to investigate how affects properties, varied between 200℃, 300℃, 400℃ 500 ℃ unannealed. The physical were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD patterns showed that Cu2O nanoparticles highly pure, crystalline, nano-sized. From results, we found pure cuprite (Cu2O) phas...

Nowadays, equal channel angular pressing, known as the ECAP process, is one of the most popular methods for manufacturing ultra-fine grained (UFG) materials. In this paper, Ecap process has been carried out on pure copper and 6012 aluminum alloy up to six passes by route . Principal attention was paid to the influence of parameters such as diameter, material, and the height of billet on mechani...
