The neuroprotective effect of the antiparkinsonian monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B inhibitor, R-(-)-deprenyl has been under investigation for years. Cytoskeleton, a main component of cell adhesion, is involved in the development of R-(-)-deprenyl-responsive diseases, the effect of the drug on cell adhesion, however, is not known. We examined the effect of R-(-)-deprenyl on cell-cell adhesion of neuronal
1. The impact of the introduced omnivorous signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus ) on trout fry, macroinvertebrates and algae was evaluated in a brown water stream in southern Sweden using in situ enclosures. We also examined the gut content of all surviving crayfish in the enclosures. Two crayfish densities in addition to a control without crayfish were used in replicate enclosures (1.26 m(2)
Fourteen patients with spinal lymphoma examined by MR imaging were reviewed. Thirteen of them also had extraspinal lymphoma. Vertebral involvement was found in 12 patients, epidural in 10, and paraspinal in 8 patients. On the basis of MR imaging at 0.3 T, spinal lymphoma may be divided into three types of growth pattern according to the main location: paraspinal, vertebral, and epidural. Most freq
High nutrient availability and defoliation generally reduce ectomycorrhizal colonization levels in trees, but it is not known how this affects the functional aspects of mycorrhizal symbiosis. It was therefore investigated whether (1) defoliation or increasing substrate N availability reduce C allocation from the plant to the fungus and N allocation from the fungus to the plant (symbiotic resource
Purpose: To compare the clinical and bacteriological effects of fucidic acid (Fucithalmic(R): 1.0%) and chloramphenicol (Minims(R): 0.5%) eye drops in neonates with a clinical diagnosis of acute conjunctivitis of suspected bacterial origin. Methods: A total of 456 newborns with gestational age > 32 weeks with acute conjunctivitis of suspected bacterial origin acquired within the first 28 days of l
”Vad händer när en stor tänkare tystnar?” Jacques Derrida ställde frågan vid Lévinas begravning i Paris för drygt tio år sedan. Och han svarade: ”Det är en upplevelse som för min del kommer att förbli outsinlig vad beträffar Emmanuel Lévinas. Just såsom är fallet med Lévinas tankar vilka är som källor, det vill säga, jag kommer aldrig att upphöra att börja och att börja om på nytt att tänka med de
Moraxella catarrhalis ubiquitous surface protein A2 (UspA2) mediates resistance to the bactericidal activity of normal human serum. In this study, an interaction between the complement fluid phase regulator of the classical pathway, C4b binding protein (C4BP), and M. catarrhalis mutants lacking UspA1 and/or UspA2 was analyzed by flow cytometry and a RIA. Two clinical isolates of M. catarrhalis exp
We present the FERRUM Project, an international collaboration aiming at a production and evaluation of oscillator strengths (transition probabilities) of selected spectral lines of singly ionized iron group elements, that are of astrophysical relevance. The results obtained include measurements and calculations of permitted and forbidden lines of Fe II. The data have been applied to both emission
The title compound, [Cu2Cl4(C10H8N2)(2)], represents the first example of a simple dimeric coordination complex of Cu-II and 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy). The metal is in a five-coordinate distorted square-pyramidal environment, bonded to a 2,2'-bipyridine molecule, two bridging chlorides and one terminal chloride. There is a centre of symmetry at the mid-point of the Cu---Cu vector.
BACKGROUND: SRY (sex-determining region, Y) is the gene responsible of gonadal differentiation in the male and it is essential for the regular development of male genitalia. Translocations involving the human sex chromosomes are rarely reported, however here we are reporting a very rare translocation of SRY gene to the q -arm of a deleted X chromosome. This finding was confirmed by cytogenetic, fl
Let $H^2_m$ be the Hilbert function space on the unit ball in $\C{m}$ defined by the kernel $k(z,w) = (1-\langle z,w \rangle)^{-1}$. For any weak zero set of the multiplier algebra of $H^2_m$, we study a natural extremal function, $E$. We investigate the properties of $E$ and show, for example, that $E$ tends to $0$ at almost every boundary point. We also give several explicit examples of the extr
Background. Ethical duties of health professionals include the obligation to enhance their patients' competence and ability to participate. Aims and objectives. To explore what kind of decisions and how these decisions were made during a child's hospitalization. Design. During a 9-week period 24 children and their parents were followed during the course of events at the hospital. In total 135 ho
