Hamsters receiving both macrophages exposed to Formalin-inactivated Borrelia burgdorferi (Mphi-FBb) and enriched populations of either immune or naive T lymphocytes developed severe swelling of the hind paws when infected with B. burgdorferi. Swelling was detected 6 days after infection, peaked on day 10, and gradually decreased. Swelling was also observed in the hind paws of hamsters infused w...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been isolated from many tissues including differentiating human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Derivation of MSCs from hESCs consists of two major steps: differentiation and isolation. In our hands, differentiation of hESCs towards MSC-enriched culture can be induced by trypsinizing hESCs into single cells and plating them on gelatin-coated plates in a culture ...

STUDY A lipid emulsion containing 10 percent medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and 10 percent long-chain triglycerides (LCT) was infused at a rate of 1 ml/kg/h (3.3 mg/kg/min) for 2 h, in 12 patients (2 males, 10 females; mean age, 54 +/- 3 (SEM) years; range, 34 to 67 years) 24 h after open-heart surgery (mitral valve replacement). METHODS Hemodynamic factors (pulmonary and radial artery indw...

To obtain extracts rich in the organic forms of selenium with putative cancer-preventive properties more effective than those of selenizedyeast, Lentinula edodes mycelia were cultivated in media enriched with selenium at concentrations from 0 to 20 μg mL, by addition of sodium selenite either before inoculation or after three days of mycelial growth. The total selenium content of submerged cult...

Bacterial ability to obtain iron in bovine serum or in media containing transferrin (Tr) or conalbumin (Ca) was investigated by using serum-resistant (virulent) and serum-sensitive (avirulent) strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Bacteria growing in bovine serum enriched with radioactive iron-saturated Tr or with radioactive iron-saturated enterobactin (E) did not acquire rad...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high selenium (Se) concentrations on morphophysiological and ultrastructural properties of Pleurotus ostreatus. Mycelium growth was good in media enriched with 5.0, 10.0, and 20.0 mg L(-1) of Se, concentration of 500.0 mg L(-1) strongly inhibited growth, and 1000.0 mg L(-1) was the minimum inhibitory concentration. Contrary to thin-walled, hya...

Effects of using n-3 HUFA-enriched Artemia and non-enriched Artemia as the starter food for growth and survival of rainbow trout larvae compared to commercial concentrated food were investigated in this study. The larvae with average weight of 92.9 mg were fed for 20 days with four food treatments included of commercial concentrated food, newly hatched Artemia, enriched Artemia, and mixture of ...

in this paper, the linearly conforming enriched radial basis point interpolation method is implemented for the elasto-plastic analysis of discontinuous medium. the linear conformability of the method is satisfied by the application of stabilized nodal integration and the enrichment of radial basis functions is achieved by the addition of linear polynomial terms. to implement the method for the ...

Effects of Artemia urmiana enriched with ICES30/4 as a commercial emulsion of highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) on growth, survival, salinity tolerance and fatty acid composition of the Persian sturgeon larvae were evaluated. Artemia enriched for two different time periods (12 and 24 hours) and non-enriched artemia were fed to A. persicus larvae (average initial wet weight 46.80± 2.03...
