Adherence of F18 fimbrial Escherichia coli to porcine intestinal epithelial cells is mediated by the adhesin (FedF) of F18 fimbriae. In a previous study, we demonstrated the specificity of the amino acid residues between 60 and 109 as the receptor binding domain of FedF. In this study, different expression, secretion, and anchoring systems for the receptor binding domain of the FedF adhesin in ...

We applied the pseudostrain energy function of Humphrey et al. [J. biomech. Engng 112, 333-346 (1990a, b)] to characterize the passive biaxial mechanical properties of the right ventricle free wall myocardium [Sacks and Chuong, J. biomech. Engng 115,202-205 (1993)]. The myocardium was assumed to be incompressible, pseudoelastic, and transversely isotropic, with transmural variations in fiber or...

BACKGROUND Post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD), due to Escherichia coli, is an important cause of economic losses to the pig industry primarily as a result of mortality and worsened productive performance. In spite of its relevance, recent data about the prevalence of virulence genes and pathotypes among E. coli isolates recovered from cases of PWD in Europe are scarce. RESULTS This study investigat...

Enzyme-based metabolic mechanisms of insecticide resistance were investigated, comparing a deltamethrin-susceptible parent stock and resistant colonies of Anopheles minimus species A using biochemical assays. The control parent colony was determined susceptible to the diagnostic lethal concentration of deltamethrin (0.05%), whereas the 6 resistant test populations at selected 4, 8, 12, 14, 16, ...

The primary purpose of this study is to observe the economic andinternational trade relationships between Bangladesh and SAARCcountries during Fiscal Years 2015-2016 2020-2021.

The present study is premeditated to extenuate the role of Ficus virens extract and itsbioactive compound on cigarette smoke, an important risk factor for CVD, induced oxidativestress and hyperlipidemia. Cigarette smoke (CS) exposure to rats results in significant loss ofbody weight and increases blood carbon monoxide saturation (carboxyhemoglobin), nicotine,plasma TC, TG, and LDL-C levels but ...

many reports that appeared during the last 20 years have shown that atmospheric pollution causes serious damage to human health and to environment. electricity generation from fuel fossil is one of the major sources of pollution and considerable share of this damage. the price of electricity in iran, as in many other countries also, includes only the production of private costs and ignores any ...
