conclusions trichloroacetic acid and autologous fibroblast can be considered as therapeutic choice for recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcer. introduction foot ulcer, with a prevalence of 15% in general population, is one of the main complications in patients with diabetes. so far, different therapeutic methods have been provided for the treatment of foot ulcers. when no response to the standard tre...

The role of microorganisms in the cycling of sedimentary organic carbon is a crucial one. To better understand relationships between molecular composition of a potentially bioavailable fraction of organic matter and microbial populations, bacterial and archaeal communities were characterized using pyrosequencing-based 16S rRNA gene analysis in surface (top 30 cm) and subsurface/deeper sediments...

background: to explain the role of arthroscopic release in intractable frozen shoulders. we used different questionnaires and measuring tools to understand whether arthroscopic release is the superior modality to treat patients with intractable frozen shoulders. methods: between 2007 and 2013, in a prospective study, we enrolled 80 patients (52 females and 28 males) with recalcitrant frozen sho...

Ten phenols were selected as natural laccase mediators after screening 44 different compounds with a recalcitrant dye (Reactive Black 5) as a substrate. Their performances were evaluated at different mediator/dye ratios and incubation times (up to 6 h) by the use of Pycnoporus cinnabarinus and Trametes villosa laccases and were compared with those of eight known synthetic mediators (including -...

The role of heterotrophic and nitrifying microorganisms in the (co-)metabolic biotransformation 10 pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) was investigated. To this aim, assays were performed with sludge developed separately a two-stage full-scale activated system. Each stage operated at different inflow wastewater characteristics retention times (on average 8 d 35 d). capacity each evaluated...

Abstract Fungal biotechnology is set to play a keystone role in the emerging bioeconomy, notably address pollution issues arising from human activities. Because they preserve biological diversity, Biological Resource Centres are considered as critical infrastructures support development of biotechnological solutions. Here, we report first large-scale phenotyping more than 1,000 fungal strains w...
