Antifungal activity improved by coproduction of cyclodextrins and anabaenolysins in Cyanobacteria

2015

Department of Chemistry, Nanoscience Center, University of Jyväskylä, FI-40014, Jyväskylä, Finland Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to improve drug delivery and to increase the solubility of hydrophobic compounds. Anabaenolysins are lipopeptides produced by cyanobacteria with potent lytic activity in cholesterolcontaining membranes. Here, we identified the 23- To 24-kb gene clusters responsible for the production of the lipopeptide anabaenolysin. The hybrid nonribosomal peptide synthetase and polyketide synthase biosynthetic gene cluster is encoded in the genomes of three anabaenolysin-producing strains of Anabaena.We detected previously u…

Kryzys w świecie, kryzys w Kościele

2020

The current situation in the world shows symptoms of an acute crisis of human identity and activity developing in many spheres: ecology, economy, education, social life, or the Church. The individual chapters of the present volume deal with these topics. In Chapter 1 (A crisis in the Bible), the Rev. Andrzej Demitrów analyzes a particular crisis situation between God and man as told by the Bible: the fall of man in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2–3), “the original sin”, branded mankind with evil tendencies. The second chapter (A crisis in the dissemination and justification of the Catholic morality) contributed by the Rev. Janusz Podzielny, presents a reflection on the traditional understanding …

Pope Francis’ “Culture of Encounter” and “Fraternity”: Enhancing the Postsecular Discourse in IR

2021

On February 4, 2019, the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together was signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmad al-Tayeb in Abu Dhabi. The moment marked a historical breakthrough in the area of interreligious dialogue becoming one of the broadest commented interreligious initiatives of the last decades. But it also symbolized the changing role of religious discourse in its relation to the political discourse as well as their mutual “entanglement”. Soon the series of events that followed visibly evidenced the growing role of the religious ideas and religious actors in the global discussion on the most problematic contemporary issues and their increasingly collab…

Honor meus. Kardynała Puzyny wizja Kościoła, państwa i narodu

2022

Kardynał Jan Duklan Maurycy Paweł Puzyna należy do tych postaci zapisanych na kartach historii Polski, których działalność budzi do dziś wątpliwości i kontrowersje. Podejmowane przez niego niepopularne decyzje stały się główną przyczyną tego, że stał się on z czasem symbolem odchodzącego świata idei konserwatywnych, zmarginalizowanych na przełomie XIX i XX stulecia przez rozwój nowoczesnych ruchów politycznych i światopoglądowych. W strukturach Kościoła kardynał Puzyna kojarzony jest do dziś głównie z ostatnią oficjalną próbą bezpośredniej ingerencji władzy świeckiej w proces wyboru papieża, co miało miejsce w trakcie pamiętnego konklawe w 1903 roku. Niniejsze opracowanie stanowi pierwszą p…

Krytyka „kultury wykluczenia” w nauczaniu papieża Franciszka

2017

Na przestrzeni wieków rozumienie problemu wykluczenia było niestateczne. Zawsze jednak pozostawało w silnym związku z epoką, kulturą, standardem życia ludzi. Przeobrażały się także poglądy dotyczące oceny moralnej działań powodujących wykluczenie społeczne. Dosyć często wykluczonych postrzegano jako „pasożytów porządnych społeczeństw”. W wielu przypadkach ekskluzję interpretowano jako wybraną drogę życia wielu mędrców. Niejednokrotnie w odniesieniu do tego samego typu społeczeństwa stosowane są odmienne, konkurujące ze sobą, modele wyjaśniania przyczyn wykluczenia i sposoby konceptualizacji tak zwanej kultury wykluczenia. Jeśli ograniczyć się tylko do społeczeństwa funkcjonującego w ramach …

LAPAROSCOPIC SACROCOLPOPEXY IN THE TREATMENT OF VAGINAL VAULT PROLAPSE AND RECTOCELE. RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 64 CASES

2003

Objectives: To evaluate the results of the laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy using a polypropylene mesh. Methods: We performed laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy on 64 pts who presented a prolapse of the vaginal vault between the II and the IV degree according to HWS classification. The mean age was 65 (range 58-76) with variable parity. The vaginal vault prolapse was present after abdominal hysterectomy in 33 pts.(51%) and after vaginal hysterectomy in 24 pts. (38%). 7 pts. (11%) were affected by an isterocele of III -IV . 8pts(12%) presented a vault prolapse of I degree, 16pts.(25%) of II degree, 15pts.(23%) of III degree, 18 pts.(%) of VI degree.They were also affected by different degrees of cystour…

Tržní hospodářství v katolickém sociálním učení – historický přehled a sociálněetická analýza

2016

Catholic social teaching, beginning in the 19th century, aimed at nurturing and improving Christian morality in the emerging industrialized societies. However, several significant studies demonstrate that changing social structures were also responsible for the ‘social question’ of the time. Consequently bishops, such as Ketteler, fought for social reforms and a new social order. Nevertheless, the idea that free market economy could play a significant role in coordinating economic agents seemed foreign to Catholic social teaching. In this paper, I argue that today Catholic social teaching acknowledges and appreciates market economies, if and insofar as they are regulated and understood in t…

Economic evaluation of caspofungin vs liposomal amphotericin B for empirical therapy of suspected systemic fungal infection in the German hospital se…

2007

As antifungal agents are frequently used in hematology and oncology, economic data on the empirical therapy of suspected systemic fungal infection are pivotal. Data were analyzed according to: (1) the rate of nephrotoxicity related to treatment with caspofungin in comparison to liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) from a randomized clinical trial, (2) the effect of nephrotoxicity on length of hospital stay from a European observational study, and (3) an example of total bottom-up cost in a department of hematology in Germany. All estimates include 95% confidence intervals (CI) using two-stage Monte Carlo simulation on binominal and Gaussian random variables from separate studies with comparable…

Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in the treatment of vaginal vault prolapse: 8 years experience

2009

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for the treatment of vaginal vault prolapse. Study design Between January 1999 and January 2007, 165 laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy procedures, using a polypropylene mesh, were performed on women affected by vaginal vault prolapse. Intraoperative complications included: 5 bladder injuries and 3 sigmoid perforations. Postoperative complications included: 10 cases of fever, 5 cases of lumbosciatica, 15 cases of detrusor overactivity, 2 cases of vaginal haematoma, and 5 cases of minimal dispareunia. At 1, 6 and 12 months after surgery, a clinical evaluation was carried out for all patie…
