Roquefort Cheese Proteins Inhibit Chlamydia pneumoniae Propagation and LPS-Induced Leukocyte Migration by Ivan M. Petyaev, Naylia A. Zigangirova, Natalie V. Kobets, Valery Tsibezov, Lydia N. Kapotina, Elena D. Fedina, Yuriy K. Bashmakov

“…Moreover, short term feeding of mice with Roquefort cheese (twice, 10 mg per mouse with an interval of 24 hours) led to the inhibition of the migration of peritoneal leukocytes caused by intraperitoneal injection of E. coli lipopolysaccharide. These changes were complemented by a reduction in neutrophil count and a relative increase in peritoneal macrophages, suggesting that ingestion of Roquefort could promote regenerative processes at the site of inflammation. …”

Impact of Municipal Solid Waste Leachate on Surface Water Quality: A Case Study on Kabuturumba Stream. by Rubarema, Paul

“…Different physiochemical and biological parameters were tested in the laboratory. like pH/EC, turbidity, BOD, TDS TSS, heavy metal, bacteriological parameters such the presence of Total coliforms fecal coliforms and E. coli. Different parameters such as COD and BOD levels were found to be extremely high than the environmental standards but later on the hypofiltration or the cleansing capacity of the wetland around the stream helped on reducing them down the stream and almost reached the environmental standards, nutrient levels such as phosphates and Nitrates were also above the recommended values, bacteriological status was extremely higher and later on reduced downstream. …”
