In order to investigate the antibacterial mechanism of tea polyphenols and theaflavins against oral cariogenic bacteria, the pH value of the culture medium, the number of bacteria adhering to the smooth glass tube wall, and the electrical conductivity value within 10 h were measured, respectively. The effects of four concentrations of tea polypheno...
The article discusses the causes of poor-quality analysis of cobaltcontaining solutions. / Рассмотрены причины некачественного анализа кобальтсодержащих растворов.
Les enquêtes Étude des relations familiales et intergénérationnelles (Erfi) et Famille et Employeurs (FamEmp) vont chacune faire l’objet d’un tirage dans Nautile-Fidéli avec une surreprésentation de certaines sous-populations (dont les personnes en couple de même sexe). Afin d’éviter la distorsion qui surviendrait dans la base de sondage suite à ce...

Numerous bacteria can cause water- and foodborne diseases and are often found in bacterial mixtures, making their detection challenging. Specific bioreceptors or selective growth media are necessary for most bacterial detection methods. In this work, we collectively used five quorum sensing-based peptides identified from bacterial biofilms to ident...
Influenza A virus (IAV) is a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus and a common cause of seasonal flu in humans. Its genome comprises eight RNA segments that facilitate reassortment, resulting in a great variety of IAV strains. To study these processes, the genetic code of each segment should be unraveled. Fortunately, new third-generation sequ...
BACKGROUND: In low-resource settings, inflammatory biomarkers can help identify patients with acute febrile illness who do not require antibiotics. Their use has not been studied in persistent fever (defined as fever lasting for ≥7 days at presentation). METHODS: C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels were measured in stored serum ...
L'enquête « Trajectoires et Origines 2 » 2019/2020 est une enquête coréalisée par l’Insee, l’institut national de la statistique et des études économiques et l’Ined, l’institut national des études démographiques. Elle étudie la diversité des populations en France et la situation des populations d’origine immigrée. Ce document décrit de façon détail...

Cervical cancer screening tests that identify DNA of the main causal agent, high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types, are more protective than cervical cytology. We systematically reviewed the literature to assess whether tests targeting high-risk HPV (hrHPV) mRNA are as accurate and effective as HPV DNA-based screening tests. We did a systematic...
BACKGROUND: Recommendations on the optimal preservation of 24 h urine for the metabolic work-up in urolithiasis patients are very heterogeneous. In case two such tests with different storage condition recommendations are being analysed, multiple collections would be needed, challenging especially elderly and very young patients. We therefore aimed ...
