Evaluation of Direct and Cell-Mediated Lactoferrin Gene Therapy for the Maxillofacial Area Abscesses in Rats.

Resistance to antibacterial therapy requires the discovery of new methods for the treatment of infectious diseases. Lactoferrin (LTF) is a well-known naïve first-line defense protein. In the present study, we suggested the use of an adenoviral vector (Ad5) carrying the human gene encoding LTF for direct and cell-mediated gene therapy of maxillofacial area phlegmon in rats.

[Role of animal gastric Helicobacter species in human gastric pathology].

Animal Helicobacter species other than Helicobacter pylori are also able to cause human gastritis, gastric ulcers, and MALT lymphomas. Animal Helicobacter species are presented with typical spiral fastidious microorganisms colonizing the gastric mucosa of different animals. Bacteria initially received their provisional name Helicobacter heilmannii, and out of them at least five species colonizing the gastric mucosa of pigs, cats, and dogs were isolated later on.

Anti-influenza active and low toxic N-phenyl-substituted β-amidoamidines structurally related to natural antibiotic amidinomycin.

A set of racemic N-phenyl-substituted β-amidoamidines hydrochlorides 4, which are structurally related to natural antiviral agent amidinomycin (1), was synthesized in four steps starting from methacryloyl anilide (5). In the final step of the synthetic route, an uncommon monoacylation of β-aminoamidine 8 at the less reactive β-phenylamino-group took place. To rationalize this result, a mechanism which involves initial acylation at the more active amidine-function followed by intramolecular acyl-group transfer to β-phenylamino-group was suggested.

[Domestic chromogenic medium for isolation of Helicobacter pylori].

The aim of the investigation was to design a differentially diagnostic selective medium for accelerated isolation and identification of H. pylori, by using with erythrite-serum agar with urea and amphotericin (ESAM). The developed nutrient medium and three control ones: blood agar (BA), blood agar with amphotericin B at a concentration of 2 microg/ml (BAA) and erythrite-blood agar with urea and amphotericin (EBAA) were comparatively studied on 12 freshly isolated H.
