BACKGROUND Maintenance dialysis therapy is the only way to remove excess fluid in patients with anuric end-stage renal disease. The optimal ultrafiltration (UF) volume in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains controversial. METHODS We retrospectively analysed a cohort of 86 prevalent anuric PD patients followed up for a median of 25.3 months (range, 6 to 54 months). Clinical and PD par...

Endothelial protein kinase C (PKC) signaling was investigated in different regions of normal porcine aorta. The locations map to differential atherosclerotic susceptibility and correlate with sites of disturbed (DF) or undisturbed (UF) local flow profiles. Endothelial lysates were isolated from the inner curvature of the aortic arch (DF; athero-susceptible) and a nearby UF region of the descend...

economical way of producing an on-line pharmaceutUltrafiltration (UF ) is a membrane filtration process ical grade solution (sterile and non-pyrogenic) used based on a molecular sieving exclusion [1]. The use of for substitution fluid. In this case, UF acts as a ‘cold UF in renal replacement therapy (RRT) has been sterilizing’ process. (ii) The enhanced blood purificareported in various fields ...

Straw powders were blended with hydrolyzed soy protein isolate (HSPI) modified urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins to produce biodegradable seedling containers. The tensile strength and the degradability of the seedling containers were characterized. Moreover, the degradation behavior of modified UF resins was investigated using N isotopic tracing, dynamic mechanical analysis, C CP/MAS NMR spectrosco...

Iron-containing proteins catalyze lipid peroxidation when combined with either H2O2 or ascorbic acid (ASC). Microsomal membranes were prepared from Day 13 endometrial and conceptus tissues (5 pigs) and from Day 30 endometrial, placental, fetal liver, and fetus minus fetal liver tissues (5 pigs). Microsomal membranes were subjected to the following in vitro treatments: 1) no treatment, 2) 50 mic...

The aim of our study was to develop an original probiotic cheese based on the Estonian open-texture, smear-ripened, semisoft cheese "Pikantne." Cheese was produced by two methods using cheese starter cultures (Probat 505) in combination with 0.04% of probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum strain ME-3 (10(9) cfu/mL) with high antimicrobial activity and antioxidative properties. The probiotic Lactobac...

The expediency of processing whey is confirmed by the value its composition, amount raw materials, and possibility obtaining a wide range food products ingredients based on it. most appropriate technological method for reducing antigenicity proteins in industry enzymatic hydrolysis. work aims to study chemical composition properties hydrolysis cheese UF concentrate with enzyme preparations Prom...
