    Abstract: Endophytic bacterial diversity in Rice plant cultivated on soil of Phu Yen province, Vietnam was studied. Rice plant samples were taken in eight sites (districts) of Phu Yen provinces of this region. Endophytic bacteria were isolated in three kinds of medium (LGI, NFb, RMR) together with 16S rRNA gene fragments amplified from DNA using eubacterial ... Show More

    Abstract: The erosion of rural watersheds, especially in the rainy season, deposit sediments in the waterways, and subsequently brings about one of the most important physicochemical changes in our water resources: the rise in their turbidity parameters. For freshwater bivalves, changes in water turbidity have a significant impact because they are filter fee... Show More

    Abstract: Proton leak has been implicated in various chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer. In this study, current from intact cells, including mice liver cells, pig blood cells and human breast cancer cell MCF-7 were measured by microbial fuel cells (MFC). Positive current change in normal liver cells were induced by either 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) or Pi... Show More

    Abstract: Salivary gland tumors comprise a significant proportion of oral tumors. Maspin is a non-inhibitory serine protease inhibitor (serpin). It is supposed to suppress tumor-induced angiogenesis, tumor cell motility, invasion and metastasis. Objectives: To evaluate salivary gland tumors clinically, investigate the immunoexpression of maspin in mucoepider... Show More
