Introduction Cold plasma is a self-sterilized, painless, and non-contact method in surgeries. These properties allow it to be applied to the living tissues and heat-sensitive parts. The aim of this study was to design a new cold plasma producer device and evaluate the effects of cold argon plasma on decreasing the coagulation time of blood drop in vitro and that of the injured liver blood in vi...

Although double sampling has been shown to be an effective method to estimate timber volume in forest inventories, only a limited body of research has tested the effectiveness of double sampling on forest biomass estimation. From forest biomass inventories collected over 9,683 ha using systematic point sampling, we examined how a double sampling scheme would have affected precision and efficien...

Fatty acid (FA) profiling provides phenotypic information and is increasingly used in a broad range of biological and biomedical studies. Quantitation of unsaturated FAs with confident carbon-carbon double bond (C═C) location assignment is both sample and time consuming using traditional gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis. In this study, we developed a rapid, sensitive, and quantitat...

The UV radiation method is a suitable method for grafting processes. Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide was successfully grafted onto a polystyrene surface with benzophenone initiator under UV radiation. In this study, grafted polystyrene was exposed to microwave plasma treatment with oxygen gas. The ATR-FTIR analysis showed the existence of the graft poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAAm) on the surface...

Objective: To develop an ultraperformance liquid chromatography (AcquityTM UPLC) method for simple, fast, accurate and simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate ions as stable forms of nitric oxide (NO) production in rat plasma. Methods: The ion-pairing AcquityTM UPLC method with reverse phase BEH C18 column was used along with photodiode array (PDA) UV-Vis detector to separate and dete...

1. Two techniques for estimating plasma aldosterone concentration are compared by means of repeated assays of a plasma pool and also by analysis of a wide range of plasma samples. 2. No significant difference was found in the results obtained by the methods. Radioimmunoassay required only one tenth of the volume of plasma needed for the double-isotope derivative method. 3. Its rapidity and rela...

A rapid and sensitive HPLC method was developed for determination of losartan in plasma. Losartan was extracted from plasma by a two-step extraction procedure using chloroform as extracting solvent in acidic medium. HPLC analysis was performed on a cyano reversed-phase column using phosphate buffer (pH 4.3), acetonitrile (750:250, v/v) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min. Sodium dicl...

In order to improve the melting efficiency of double-TIG arc, based on synchronous induction pulsed laser double-arc, coupling-enhanced discharge phenomenon between double-arcs is studied in this paper. The laser-induced double-arc quantitatively analyzed. physical characteristics coupling are high-speed camera and spectral diagnosis technology. model established discuss particle migration duri...

UNLABELLED 99mTc-L,L-ethylene, L, dicysteine (EC) clearance shows strong correlation with orthoiodohippurate clearance, and it is possible to estimate effective renal plasma flow from 99mTc-EC clearance. In routine clinical studies, it is practical to use the one or two plasma sample method instead of multiple plasma samples for clearance determination. A single-sample technique was developed f...
