BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Fractional tumor burden better correlates with histologic tumor volume fraction in treated glioblastoma than other perfusion metrics such as relative CBV. We defined fractional tumor burden classes with low and high blood volume to distinguish tumor from treatment effect and to determine whether fractional tumor burden can inform treatment-related decision-making.MATERIALS AND METHODS:Forty-seven patients with high-grade gliomas (primarily glioblastoma) with recurrent contrast-enhancing...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Alzheimer disease is the most common degenerative dementia affecting humans and mild cognitive impairment is considered the forerunner of this devastating illness with variable progression. Differentiating between them has become all the more essential with the advent of disease-modifying medications. The aim of this study was to test the utility of the entorhinal cortical atrophy score in combination with quantitative CBF in the posterior cingulate and precuneus using arterial...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:A number of MR-derived quantitative metrics have been suggested to assess the pathophysiology of MS, but the reports about combined analyses of these metrics are scarce. Our aim was to assess the spatial distribution of parameters for white matter myelin and axon integrity in patients with relapsing-remitting MS by multiparametric MR imaging.MATERIALS AND METHODS:Twenty-four patients with relapsing-remitting MS and 24 age- and sex-matched controls were prospectively scanned...

Abstract Long-term alcohol consumption causes liver injuries such as alcoholic hepatitis, fatty liver, and endotoxemia. Some probiotics were demonstrated to exert beneficial effects in the gastrointestinal tract. The present study was aimed to evaluate the protective effects of Lactobacillus plantarum CMU995 against alcohol-induced liver injury. The mice were orally administered L. plantarum CMU995 for 1 week, followed by the administration of alcohol and different tested substances...

Abstract Ophiobolins (ophs) are characteristic 5-8-5 tricyclic sesterterpenes with potential pharmaceutical activities. Ophiobolin synthase is a bifunctional terpene synthase (BTS) that catalyzes both chain elongation and cyclization. In Aspergillus ustus 094102, ophiobolin accumulation was involved with not only ophiobolin synthase C25 (Au8003) but also other four gene clusters containing C15 (Au6298), C20 (Au13192 and Au11565), and C30 (Au3446) terpene synthases. In this report,...

Abstract In 1968, Arima et al. discovered the heptapeptide, known as surfactin, which belongs to a family of lipopeptides. Known for its ability to reduce surface tension, it also has biological activities such as antimicrobial and antiviral. Its non-ribosomal synthesis mechanism was later discovered (1991). Lipopeptides represent an important class of surfactants, which can be applied in many industrial sectors such as food, pharmaceutical, agrochemicals, detergents, and cleaning...

Abstract The biological treatment of oil refinery effluents in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) relies on specialized bacteria contributing to remove organic load, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus compounds. Knowledge about bacterial dynamics in WWTPs and how they affect the performance of the wastewater treatment is limited, particularly in tropical countries. The bacterial communities from three compartments of an oil refinery WWTP in Uran, India, were assessed using 16S-metabarcoding,...
