The fine structure of the epithelial cells of one component of the prostatic complex of the mouse--the ventral lobe--has been investigated by electron microscopy. This organ is composed of small tubules, lined by tall simple cuboidal epithelium, surrounded by smooth muscle and connective tissue. Electron micrographs of the epithelial cells of the ventral lobe show these to be limited by a cell ...

BACKGROUND Use of electro surgery units (ESU) in surgeries is linked with electromagnetic field emission, which is assessed according to the requirements of occupational health and safety legislation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Surgeons' exposure characteristics was monitored during 11 surgeries (proctectomy, patency of artery, hepatectomy, cystectomy, tonsilectomy, laparoscopy) by real time of mon...

Probiotic strains require investigation to obtain functional products and to satisfy the increasing market demand for probiotics. Traditional fermented yak milk is a potential source of probiotic Lactobacillus strains. Lactobacillus isolates were identified on the basis of their physiological and biochemical characteristics and their probiotic properties were evaluated, including acidifying and...
