Four virus clones were derived from the Edmonston strain of measles virus by repeated plaque purification. These clones were compared with the vaccine strains Schwarz and CAM-70 in terms of biological activities including plaque formation, hemagglutination, hemolysis and replication in Vero cells and chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF). Two clones of intermediate plaque yielded mixed plaque populati...

Using thylakoid membranes, we previously demonstrated that accumulated electrons in the photosynthetic electron transport system induces the electron flow from the acceptor side of PSII to its donor side only in the presence of a pH gradient ((Delta)pH) across the thylakoid membranes. This electron flow has been referred to as cyclic electron flow within PSII (CEF-PSII) [Miyake and Yokota (2001...

Abstract In this study, the cross-equatorial flows (CEF) on both high and low level (HCEF/LCEF) troposphere over Maritime Continent (MC) in boreal summer are found to have experienced an interdecadal weakening mid-1990s based JRA55 NCEP reanalyses. The outputs of 8 coupled models CMIP6 used investigate drivers corresponding mechanisms. Model results show that role external forcing is weak CEF. ...

We describe a new member of the class of mutants in Arabidopsis exhibiting high rates of cyclic electron flow around photosystem I (CEF), a light-driven process that produces ATP but not NADPH. High cyclic electron flow 2 (hcef2) shows strongly increased CEF activity through the NADPH dehydrogenase complex (NDH), accompanied by increases in thylakoid proton motive force (pmf), activation of the...

By means of 4$f$ photoemission measurements and first-principles calculations, the authors demonstrate here how crystal electric field (CEF) related magnetic properties can be modified at surface rare-earth materials. For TbRh${}_{2}$Si${}_{2}$, CEF Tb makes moments orthogonal to those in bulk. layer below Si termination, temperature-dependent data reveal larger splitting relative The methodolo...

The glutamate dehydrogenase RocG of Bacillus subtilis is a bifunctional protein with both enzymatic and regulatory functions. Here we show that the rocG null mutant is sensitive to β-lactams, including cefuroxime (CEF), and to fosfomycin but that resistant mutants arise due to gain-of-function mutations in gudB, which encodes an otherwise inactive glutamate dehydrogenase. In the presence of CEF...

Background Renal vasoconstriction, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and apoptosis are the major causes of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of enalapril maleate and folic acid tablets on CIN in diabetic rats. Methods Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: CIN (C), CIN + enalapril maleate (CE), CIN ...

Water-dispersible Re(3+) doped CeF(3) colloidal nanocrystals with well controllable morphology and high crystallinity have been successfully synthesized through a solvothermal process. The TEM images illustrate that the Re(3+) doped CeF(3) nanocrystals are rectangular (or cubic) with a mean diameter of ~10 nm. The excellent dispersibility in some of the polar solvents including water is achieve...

Aim To report our experience regarding management of cholecystoenteric fistula (CEF) and identify the most effective diagnostic methods and surgical treatment. Methods In total, 10,588 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystolithiasis from January 2000 to December 2014 at the Research Institute of General Surgery, Jinling Hospital (Nanjing, China). Twenty-nine patients wer...
