Mixed Cultures of and Modify the Fermentation Process and Improve the Aroma Profile of Semi-Sweet White Wines.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of the and mixed culture on the fermentation, chemical and aromatic composition of semi-sweet white wines. The variables tested in the experiment were the initial ratio of yeast in mixed cultures and the time of inoculation of the co-culture. The addition of to the inoculum did not significantly change the chemical composition of the wines obtained.

Plasma tau protein and Aβ42 level as markers of cognitive impairment in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a characteristic clinical picture. Apart from classical movement disorders, a significant role is also played by non-motor symptoms, in particular cognitive impairments, which have a significant impact on the quality of life of the patients. Tau protein and amyloid beta are well-known non-specific biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Seasonal variations in the occurrence of transient global amnesia (TGA).

Background: Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a rare, benign condition characterised by a sudden deficit of anterograde and retrograde memory that usually lasts for a few hours and is not accompanied by other focal neurological symptoms or signs. Its aetiology is still unclear. Various events or activities may trigger TGA.

Association between p53 protein phosphorylated at serine 20 expression and ovarian carcinoma stem cells phenotype: correlation with clinicopathological parameters of ovarian cancer.

Biological behavior of ovarian carcinomas might be the result of cellular diversity existing in tumor tissue, which consists of differentiated and undifferentiated cells showing stem cells biological properties and function. We examined correlation between p53 protein phosphorylated at serine 20 (p-p53(Ser20)) and CD133, SOX2, Notch1 expression, in order to reveal p-p53(Ser20) stemness function in ovarian cancer. p-p53(Ser20), CD133, Notch1, SOX2 expression was analyzed on 104 ovarian carcinomas using immunohistochemical staining.

The Association Between HSP90/topoisomerase I Immunophenotype and the Clinical Features of Colorectal Cancers in Respect to Gene Status.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and topoisomerase I (Topo I) expression and the association between both proteins and clinicopathological parameters of colorectal cancer (CRC), in order to describe their role in tumor biology regarding to Kirsten Ras (KRAS) - positive/negative cases.

Materials And Methods: Expression of HSP90 and Topo I, and KRAS gene mutations were estimated in primary CRCs.

Results: HSP90/Topo I immunophenotype correlated with gender, Duke staging, tumor grade and lymph node metastasis (p<0.
