Grafted seedlings are used commonly in commercial vegetable culture in countries such as Korea and Japan, where land use is intensive. Lee (1994) has reviewed the physiological aspects of grafting. The percentage of cultivated area of grafted seedlings in outdoor commercial vegetable culture amounts to 81% in Korea and 54% in Japan (Table 2 in Lee, 1994). In greenhouse cultivation, the percenta...

Grafting techniques are being used to improve economically important horticultural crops including Cucumis melo L. This 2-year study was carried out at Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey. aimed evaluate the effects of grafting using different rootstocks on plant, fruit and seed quality in cantaloupe melons. The double haploid (DH) female (H27) male (H4) parental lines Solmaz F1 (Cucumis var. ca...

Vitiligo is a pigmentary disorder induced by a loss of melanocytes. In addition to replacement of pure melanocytes, cocultures of melanocytes with keratinocytes have been used to improve the repigmentation outcome in vitiligo treatment. We previously identified by in vitro studies, that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) could be a potential substitute for keratinocytes in cocultures with melan...

Polypropylene (PP) has poor adhesion to metals and other surfaces for its chemical structure. Hence, chemical modification of PP is necessary for metal surface coating application. In this research, grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) onto co(propylene-b-ethylene) in the presence of a dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was accomplished in a single screw extruder. Characteristics of the modified polymer were ...

The efficacy of one-stage artificial dermis and skin grafting was tested in a nude rat model. Reconstruction with artificial dermis is usually a two-stage procedure with 2- to 3-week intermission. If one-stage use of artificial dermis and split-thickness skin grafting are effective, the overall burden on patients and the medical cost will markedly decrease. The graft take rate, contraction rate...

Introduction: In general, exposed bone wounds are covered with flaps. If the wound is small, skin grafting perifascial areolar tissue can be performed for resurfacing; however, it not suitable large bone-exposed exceeding 5 cm in length.Methods: Six patients underwent at our medical center between 2014 and 2020. all cases, a local flap donor site could found around wound, vessel to anastomose f...

We developed a novel bone grafting material that incorporates autogenous teeth (AutoBT), and provided the basis for its clinical application. AutoBT contains organic and inorganic mineral components and is prepared from autogenous grafting material, thus eliminating the risk of an immune reaction that may lead to rejection. AutoBT was used at the time of implant placement, simultaneously with o...

uv-induced grafting technique was used as a flexible method for surface modification of polysulfone (psf) ultrafiltration (uf) membranes in order to prepare hydrophilic nanofiltration (nf) membranes. flat sheet polysulfone (psf) ultrafiltration membranes were prepared via phase inversion method. n-methylene-2-pyrrolidone (nmp) and polyethylene glycol (peg) of three different molecular weights (...

abstract background and objectives: patients are oriented towards spirituality after coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). the aim of this study was to explore the patients’ spiritual experiences after cabg. methods: this qualitative study was conducted using hermeneutic phenomenology. 11 participants (7 males and 4 females) were interviewed in tehran heart center hospital in 2013 using maxim...

Abstract Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers and fabrics are widely used for medical device applications such as vascular anterior cruciate ligament prostheses. Several years ago, we began functionalizing PET using anionic polymers to enhance their biocompatibility, cell adhesion, proliferation functional performance Polymer functionalization followed a grafting-from process from virgin sur...
