Testicular torsion - symptomatology and outcomes of 101 scrotal explorations.

Objective: The objective was to study the symptomatology of testicular torsion of patients operated in our hospital and their operative results in relation to the duration of symptoms.

Materials And Methods: Data of all patients operated for acute scrotum at all ages over a 14 months' time were collected from hospital records. Symptomatology and operative results were studied.

An archaeal DNA binding protein from thermophilic Sulfolobus acidocaldarius forms different types of complexes with DNA.

We have characterized a DNA binding protein (DBNP-B) from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius with respect to its interaction with single and double stranded DNA. The protein in solution exists predominantly as dimer as indicated by cross linking studies. Binding of DBNP-B to etheno DNA and poly (dA) resulted in fluorescence enhancement and hyperchromicity respectively.
