Exploring the photoexcited triplet states of aluminum and tin corroles by time-resolved Q-band EPR
The photoexcited triplet states of three 5,10, 15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corroles (tpfc), hosting Sn(IV) and Al(III) in their core, namely, Sn(Cl)(tpfc), Al(pyr)2(tpfc) and Al(pyr)2(tpfc-Br8), were studied by tim...

Overexpression of cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (MDH2) causes overproduction of specific organic acids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Saccharomyces cerevisiae accumulates l-malic acid through a cytosolic pathway starting from pyruvic acid and involving the enzymes pyruvate carboxylase and malate dehydrogenase. In the present study, the role of...

The cytosolic pathway of l-malic acid synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: the role of fumarase
Saccharomyces cerevisiae accumulates l-malic acid but only minute amounts of fumaric acid. A 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance study following the label from glucose to l-malic acid indicates that the l-malic acid ...

Increased insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) gene expression and protein production lead to high IGFBP-2 content in malignant ovarian cyst fluid
Expression of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), its receptor and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) by ovarian cancer cells and its mitogenic effect on these cells in vitro, suggest that IGF-I may have a role i...

Mycetoma of the foot — surgical treatment with free flap reconstruction
Mycetoma (Madura foot) is a chronic fungal or bacterial infectious process characterized by a discharging mass. Medical treatment is generally insufficient, and surgical eradication, sometimes by amputation, i...

Selective reduction of oscillatory potentials and pattern electroretinograms after retinal ganglion cell damage by disease in humans or by kainic acid toxicity in cats
We recorded pattern electroretinograms, scotopic threshold responses, oscillatory potentials and ganzfeld flash electroretinograms in patients with glaucoma or other optic nerve diseases and in cats with inner...

Growth of Dioscorea deltoidea at high sugar concentrations
Dioscorea deltoidea cell suspension cultures were grown at initial sucrose concentrations of 35 to 200 g/L. The growth rates were similar (about 0.50 day−1) with all of the initial sugar concentrations examined....

The growth of Pseudomonas putida on m-toluic acid and on toluene in batch and in chemostat cultures
The present study describes the growth of Pseudomonas putida cells (ATCC 33015) in batch and continuous cultures on two toxic substrates; toluene and m-toluic acid as sole carbon and energy sources. In fed-batch ...

Autoclaved fungal mycelia increase diosgenin production in cell suspension cultures of Dioscorea deltoidea
The addition of autoclaved mycelia of non-host specific fungi to cell suspension cultures of Dioscorea deltoidea improved diosgenin production by as much as 72% compared to control cultures. Phytoalexin elicitors...

Parathyroid gland function in subgroups of metabolically mediated urolithiasis as evaluated by serum parathyroid hormone, and urinary and nephrogenous cyclic nucleotides
In healthy controls (n=34) and in the various metabolically defined subgroups of urolithiasis patients, including primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), parathyroid hormone (PTH) was studied using two different anti...
