Karyotypic diversity among Blastocystis hominis isolates

1997

Fifteen Blastocystis hominis strains, 13 axenic and 2 monoxenic, have been included in the present study. The chromosomal pattern was analyzed by the contour-clamped homogeneous electric-field (CHEF) system. The number of chromosomes detected ranged between 9 and 13, with sizes from 2200 kbp to 260 kbp. Eleven karyotypic profiles, with a common pattern constituted by 8 chromosomes of 2200, 1280, 890, 840, 700, 650, 540 and 260 kbp, were observed. The Jaccard index demonstrated that the similarity between isolates ranged from 0.5714 to 1. The different isolates were clustered in 3 karyotypes (A: 8 isolates; B: 6 isolates and C: 1 isolate). All isolates grouped in karyotype A presented a char…

Analysis of composition, morphology, and biosynthesis of cuticular wax in wild type bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and its glossy mutant

2021

Abstract In this study, cuticular wax load, its chemical composition, and biosynthesis, was studied during development of wild type (WT) bilberry fruit and its natural glossy type (GT) mutant. GT fruit cuticular wax load was comparable with WT fruits. In both, the proportion of triterpenoids decreased during fruit development concomitant with increasing proportions of total aliphatic compounds. In GT fruit, a higher proportion of triterpenoids in cuticular wax was accompanied by a lower proportion of fatty acids and ketones compared to WT fruit as well as lower density of crystalloid structures on berry surfaces. Our results suggest that the glossy phenotype could be caused by the absence o…

Instruments, rules, and household debt: the effects of fiscal policy

2015

In this paper, we look at the interplay between the level of household leverage in the economy and fiscal policy, the latter characterised by different combinations of instruments and rules. When the fiscal rule is defined on lump-sum transfers, government spending or consumption taxes, the impact multipliers of transitory fiscal shocks become substantially amplified in an environment of easy access to credit by impatient consumers, regardless of the primary instruments used. However, when the government reacts to debt deviations by raising distortionary taxes on income, labour or capital, the effects of household debt on the size of the impact output multipliers vanish or even reverse, no …

The conditions for a successful mentoring relationship: The followup on young graduates

5502 Background: Topotecan was evaluated in a novel combination regimen in comparison to standard therapy in front-line EOC. Methods: Women with newly diagnosed advanced EOC stages IIB-IV, ECOG performance status (PS) 0-1, age < 75, were randomized to either Arm 1: cycles 1 - 4: cisplatin 50 mg/m2 d1 plus topotecan 0.75 mg/m2 d1-5 IV; cycles 5 - 8: paclitaxel 175 mg/m2over 3 hrs d1 followed by carboplatin AUC5 day 1 or Arm 2: paclitaxel plus carboplatin as in Arm 1 for 8 cycles. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS) and secondary endpoints included objective response, overall survival (OS), adverse event (AE) and Quality of Life (QoL). The sample size required 800 pts…

Target Therapy in Platinum-Refractory/Resistant Ovarian Cancer: From Preclinical Findings to Current Clinical Practice

2013

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the sixth most common malignancy in women. Ovarian tumors consist of several clinical and pathological entities that share an anatomic site. The gold standard treatment, both in front-line and in adjuvant setting, is represented by carboplatin/paclitaxel combination. Conversely, the second-line treatment is not well defined. The response to platinum is the major prognostic factor for survival. In this review we discuss the current views on platinum-refractory/resistant patient treatment only, which includes patients progressing or relapsing within 6 months from the last platinum-based course. Concerning this subgroup, the activity of several conventional d…
