Himalaya 292 (Hordeum vulgare var. Himalaya 292) is a novel hull-less barley variety lacking activity of a key enzyme of starch synthesis giving a grain containing less total starch, more amylose and higher total dietary fibre. Animal trials have shown that Himalaya 292 contains more resistant starch and has greater positive impact on biomarkers of large-bowel health than comparable wholegrain ...

decolorization of aqueous solutions containing ionic dyes (reactive blue 19 and acid black 172) by a tfc commercial polyamide nanofilter (nf) in a spiral wound configuration was studied. the effect of operating parameters including feed concentration (60-180 mg/l), pressure (0.5-1.1 mpa) and ph (6-10) on dye removal efficiency was evaluated. the response surface method (rsm) was utilized for th...

in this study, removal of methylene blue (mb) and maxilon blue sl 200% (mb sl) dyes from aqueous solutions by using raw clay (rc) of nevsehir (turkey) vicinity and ultrasonic-acid modified clay (mc) was investigated. adsorption was carried out with 500 mg/l mb and 50 mg/l for mb sl in terms of different adsorbent dosages, contact time, solution ph, temperature and stirring speed. the fitting of...

Introduction: Goblet cells secrete high molecular weight glycoprotein known as mucin which forms a protective mucus blanket throughout the G.I.T. The present work characterizes histochemically different types of mucin in colonic goblet cells & makes a comparative study in animal species of different food habit. Methods:After ethical clearance tissues were taken from the proximal part of colon o...

Mucous neck cells in the rat stomach which contain neutral mucin were stained with a modified Mayer's hemalum. When alcian blue staining and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reaction preceded hematoxylin staining, mucin-containing fundic gland cells could be distinguished in the same tissue sections: surface mucous cells were positive for PAS reaction and/or alcian blue staining, neutral mucin-contai...

Abstract Background QT interval varies with the heart rate (HR), so a correction in calculation is needed (QTc). Atrial fibrillation (AF) associated elevated (HR) and beat-to-beat variation length of RR making challenging. Aim to evaluate which formula better correlates QTc sinus rhythm after electrical cardioversion (ECV). Methods During 3-month period, we considered patients who underwent 12-...

Difficulties in obtaining reproducible and accurate enumeration of circulating basophils with existing techniques have hampered investigation of this infrequent cell population. A new basophil staining method is described that employs alcian blue dye for staining of heparin within basophils at low pH and in the presence of lanthanum ions. Basophil recognition is facilitated by reducing nonspeci...
