Abstract Background the development of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRSs) has been conceived as revolution in interventional cardiology for prospective improvements treatment coronary artery disease. However, metallic drug eluting stent (DES) demonstrated greater safety and efficacy than vascular scaffold (BVS) Absorb dedicated trials culminating commercial withdrawal device 2017. Nevertheless, pro...

Congenital ichthyoses (CI), inherited scaling disorders, have an impaired epidermal barrier, but ceramide (Cer) changes are poorly understood. Using untargeted lipidomics, we compared Cer profiles of tape-stripped skin from 77 patients with 6 subtypes CI and 19 matched controls. In CI, 636 species were found, including 24 low-abundance Cers not in healthy skin. 221 significantly (>2-fold; adj. ...

Hematopoietic progenitor cells from peripheral blood (HPCPB) are commonly used for autologous and allogenic transplants in patients with most various onco-hematological diseases, and despite the utilization of sterile techniques during collection and processing of these products, bacterial contamination can occur. This study aimed to investigate the microbial contamination of HPCPB products. Mi...

An N-bromoacetyl electrophile attached to the 5'-phosphate group of a purine-rich oligonucleotide affords sequence-specific alkylation of duplex DNA (at 37 degrees C, pH 7.4) through the formation of a specific purine.purine.pyrimidine triple-helical complex. In a 645 bp restriction fragment containing three consecutive guanine bases adjacent to the 3'-end of an oligonucleotide binding site, th...
