Hearts of wild-type and cytosolic muscle creatine kinase (M-CK)-knockout mice were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing 10 mM glucose and 5 mM pyruvate and studied during pacing at 400 and 600 beats/min and during K+ arrest. Phosphocreatine (PCr) and ATP concentrations in M-CK-deficient hearts were not significantly different from those in wild-type hearts. With the use of31P NMR sat...

The complete genome sequence of Sphingopyxis terrae strain 203-1, which is capable of growing on polyethylene glycol, was determined. The genome consisted of a chromosome with a size of 3.98 Mb and a plasmid with a size of 4,328 bp. The strain was deposited to the National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (Tokyo, Japan) under the number NBRC 111660.

Sphingopyxis macrogoltabida strain 203, the type strain of the species, grew on polyethylene glycol (PEG) and has been deposited to the stock culture at the Biological Resource Center, National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE), under the number NBRC 15033. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of strain NBRC 15033. Unfortunately, genes for PEG degradation were missing.

The biomass slow pyrolysis using the fixed-bed pyrolyzer is a simple and inexpensive technique that can be used in small farms comparing to complex expensive technology of fast pyrolysis. However, primary produces bio-char lower yields bio-oil pyrolytic gas. Thus, there urgent need enhance gas production under conditions on account due advantage wide applications farm. Hence, this work aims fab...

BACKGROUND Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) mapping with different b-factors in visualisation of meniscal tears. MATERIAL/METHODS Seventy-four patients; 30 males and 44 females, 37 left and 37 right knees with meniscal tears were involved in this study. Eleven of them were lateral meniscal tears and 63 - medial m...
