Phospholipid liposomes affect the histone pattern of isolated rat liver nuclei. Multilamellar vesicles (MLV) obtained with phosphatidylserine (PS) release a large amount of the lysine rich histones, while those obtained with phosphatidylcholine (PC) do not induce significant changes with respect to controls. This different response has been compared to the effects obtained with Heparin, which slightly modifies the relative ratio of the histone fractions. These data might account for the mode by which phospholipids induce transitions of the chromatin structure and changes of the endogenous RNA polymerase activity.

Myocardial bridging is a frequent anomaly of the heart in humans and other animals. A myocardial bridge is typically characterized by the systolic narrowing seen with traditional catheter angiography, but this abnormality is not by itself a sign of ischemia or the need for intervention. In particular, transient spontaneous angina must be corroborated by reproducible narrowing during acetylcholine testing; this narrowing occurs during resting conditions and is responsive to nitroglycerin administration.

Previous studies showed that the female genital tract microbiome plays a crucial role in regulating the host's immune defense mechanisms. Our previous research has shown that Lactobacillus gasseri LGV03 (L. gasseri LGV03) isolated from cervico-vagina of HPV-cleared women contributes to clearance of HPV infection and beneficially regulate immune response.
