A biosensor for the determination of amylase activity.

A new biosensing flow injection method for the determination of alpha-amylase activity has been introduced. The method is based on the analysis of maltose produced during the hydrolysis of starch in the presence of alpha-amylase. Maltose determination in the flow system was allowed by the application of peroxide electrode equipped with an enzyme membrane.

[Squamous intraepithelial lesions in young female university students].

The authors investigated the frequency of squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) in young women, in particular university students with special attention to morphological signs of the presence of human papilloma virus (HPV) in SIL low grade-SIL, LG-HPV. As compared with data in the world literature, they revealed a significantly lower rate of SIL LG, HPV-2.81% as compared with 5.
