Resistance of Deinococcus radiodurans to Mutagenesis Is Facilitated by Pentose Phosphate Pathway in the mutS1 Mutant Background.
MutS1 is a key protein involved in mismatch repair system for ensuring fidelity of replication and recombination in Deinococcus radiodurans. The zwf gene encodes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in the pentose phosphate (PP) pathway, which provides adequate […]

Immobilization of Alginate-Encapsulated Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis Containing Different Multivalent Counterions for Mosquito Control.
Immobilized techniques have been used widely for the controlled release formulation of mosquitoes. Among the microbial formulations, polymeric matrices play an important role in the controlled release of microbial pesticide at rates sufficiently effective to kill mosquitoes in the […]

Bio-Reduction of Selenite to Elemental Red Selenium by Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis.
A bacterium that detoxifies selenite by reduction to insoluble elemental red selenium was isolated from soil. The strain showed an unusually high resistance to the toxic effects of selenite by growing in media containing 64 mM selenite. 16S rRNA gene sequence alignment identified […]

Establishing Green Roof Infrastructure Through Environmental Policy Instruments.
Traditional construction practices provide little opportunity for environmental remediation to occur in urban areas. As concerns for environmental improvement in urban areas become more prevalent, innovative practices which create ecosystem services and ecologically functional land cover in cities will be in higher demand. Green roofs […]

Diffusion of Policy Discourse into Rural Spheres Through Co-Management of State Forestlands: Two Cases from West Java, Indonesia.
In the context of state forestland management in tropical regions, the implementation of a co-management approach has been widely advocated in order to include the voices of local people and accommodate their interests in management […]

Flector Tissugel Used to Treat Capsular Contracture After Breast Augmentation Surgery.
Capsular contracture constitutes the main postoperative complication after breast augmentation by implant placement. To date, no systemic treatment known allows for improvement that does not simultaneously put the patient at risk for secondary complications of a more general nature. Flector Tissugel is […]

Surgical Procedure for Reversal of Nipple Piercing.
Body piercing of the nipples for adornment with jewelry has increased worldwide. Many patients later regret their decision and request reversal along with a desire to maintain their ability to breast feed. The surgeon must remove the epithelial tunnel with minimum damage to adjacent ducts. The […]

Rethinking Proteasome Evolution: Two Novel Bacterial Proteasomes.
The proteasome is a multisubunit structure that degrades proteins. Protein degradation is an essential component of regulation because proteins can become misfolded, damaged, or unnecessary. Proteasomes and their homologues vary greatly in complexity: from HslV (heat shock locus v), which is encoded by 1 gene in […]

[Analgesic intolerance (AI). Key position of ENT physicians for early detection of this condition]
The clinical manifestation of analgesic intolerance (AI) is frequently associated with symptoms examined by ear-nose-throat (ENT) specialists. The prevalence of AI is reported in the literature to be 0.6-2.5%. Even though there are no concluding results concerning its pathogenesis, […]
