Molecular diversity among natural populations of Lactobacillus paracasei and Lactobacillus plantarum/paraplantarum strains isolated from autochthonous dairy products
(Springer, New York, 2012)
The diversity of 87 Lactobacillus paracasei and Lactobacillus plantarum/paraplantarum strains, previously identified from different autochthonous dairy products, was investigated by phenotypic and genotypic approaches. The ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) enhances palmitic acid-and glucose-induced murine beta cell dysfunction and destruction in vitro
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2012)
Although several reports suggest a potentially deleterious role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) pathology, it is still unclear how this pro-inflammatory cytokine acts on pancreatic ...
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency in Serbian Adults with Lung Diseases
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, New Rochelle, 2012)
Aim: Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is the main inhibitor of neutrophil elastase, and severe alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) is a genetic risk factor for early-onset emphysema. Despite the relatively high prevalence of ...
Regulation of cardiac nitric oxide synthase in acute type I diabetes: Modulation of L-arginine availability and arginase activity
(Advanced Science Letters, 2012)
The aim of our study was to characterize the acute effects of streptozotocin-induced diabetes on the regulation of cardiac endothelial and inducibile nitric oxide synthase and related signaling pathways. Over the past ...
Prevalence of quinolone resistance and mutations in the topoisomerase genes in Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis isolates from Serbia
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2012)
The prevalence of quinolone resistance was studied in Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis isolates collected during 2005-2010 in Southern Ba. cka County, Serbia. A total of 878 clinical isolates were examined, among ...
Response to salbutamol in children with acute asthma exacerbations
(Paediatria Croatica, 2012)
The aim of this study was to investigate response to salbutamol in children with acute asthma exacerbations in order to estimate the efficiency and safety of its administration in pediatric population. The study included ...
Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate production by newly isolated Pseudomonas sp TN301 from a wide range of polyaromatic and monoaromatic hydrocarbons
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2012)
Aims The aim of this study was to convert numerous polyaromatic and monoaromatic hydrocarbons into biodegradable polymer medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA). Methods and Results Using naphthalene enrichment ...
Prognostic Impact of NPM1 Mutations in Serbian Adult Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
(Karger, Basel, 2012)
Based on current findings, the presence of NPM1 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients is associated with an increased probability of complete remission (CR) and better overall survival (OS). We determined the ...
6-mercaptopurine influences TPMT gene transcription in a TPMT gene promoter variable number of tandem repeats-dependent manner
(Future Medicine Ltd, London, 2012)
Aim: TPMT activity is characterized by a trimodal distribution, namely low, intermediate and high methylator. TPMT gene promoter contains a variable number of GC-rich tandem repeats (VNTRs), namely A, B and C, ranging from ...
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin in Pathogenesis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
(Kowsar Publ, Hoensbroek, 2012)
Context: Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is the most abundant liver-derived, highly polymorphic, glycoprotein in plasma. Hereditary deficiency of alpha-1-antitrypsin in plasma (A1ATD) is a consequence of accumulation of polymers ...
