Insights into glycosidic bond specificity of an engineered selective α-L-rhamnosidase N12-Rha via activity assays and molecular modelling

AMB Express, 2022
αL-rhamnosidase (EC 3.2.1.40) has been widely used in food processing and pharmaceutical preparation. The recombinant α-L-rhamnosidase N12-Rha from Aspergillus niger JMU-TS528 had significantly higher catalytic activity on α-1,6 glycosidic bond than α-1 ...

Association of Other Autoimmune Diseases With Thyroid Eye Disease

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
BackgroundThyroid eye disease (TED) is a potentially disfiguring and sight-threatening autoimmune (AI) orbitopathy, affecting up to 400,000 people in the UK. There are no accurate early predictors of TED severity. Although polyautoimmunity has been shown

MRI May Be More Valuable than Pelvic Radiographs in the Assessment of Paediatric Borderline Acetabular Dysplasia

Children, 2023
The osseous acetabular index (OAI) and cartilaginous acetabular index (CAI) is often used in diagnosing acetabular dysplasia (AD) in children. We examined the reliability of OAI and CAI in AD diagnostics and compared OAI measurements obtained from ...

Microbiological Diagnosis of Osteoarticular Infections: Comparison between BacT/Alert Bottles and Schaedler Broth

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Microbiological diagnosis of osteoarticular infections (OAIs) is based on culture on several media. Experts recommend the use of liquid media, such as Schaedler broth, but many laboratories use blood culture media with automated detection instead for ...

The development of a novel Orthodontic Alignment Index and its use to evaluate the effect of residual overjet on the stability of the alignment of the maxillary anterior dentition

Progress in Orthodontics, 2022
Background It is thought that achieving a normal overjet may help to stabilise the alignment of the maxillary anterior dentition. Little’s Irregularity Index is limited in assessing discrete post-orthodontic changes, fails to account for reciprocal ...
