Background and Objective. It is important to guarantee the quality of stem cells. Serial passage is the main approach to expand stem cells. This study evaluated effects of serial passage on the biological characteristics of human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly-derived MSCs (WJ MSCs). Methods. Biological properties of WJ MSCs in the early (less than 10 passages, P10), middle (P11-20), and late (...

In individual animals affected by transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, different disease phenotypes can be identified which are attributed to different strains of the agent. In the absence of reliable technology to fully characterise the agent, classification of disease phenotype has been used as a strain typing tool which can be applied in any host. This approach uses standardised data o...

Problem statement. Analysis of the treatment facilities efficiency in sewerage at stage their design is great importance. Also, structures’ reconstruction or operation adjustment under different load conditions, it necessary to know water areas facilities. Such information makes possible rationally operate For solving problems this class, most effective tool use numerical modeling method. The w...

Seventeen lactones including eight territrem derivatives (1-8) and nine butyrolactone derivatives (9-17) were isolated from a marine-derived fungus Aspergillus terreus SCSGAF0162 under solid-state fermentation of rice. Compounds 1-3 and 9-10 were new, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity and antiviral activity of compounds ...

The aim of this study was to explore the role of resilience and mindfulness in predicting psychological wellbeing in university students. A sample of 141 university students completed questionnaires that measured individual differences in mindfulness, resilience, and psychological well-being. Findings revealed significant positive relationships between mindfulness and resilience. Regression ana...

In this study, in order to find novel biologically active penta-1,4-dien-3-one derivatives, a series of penta-1,4-dien-3-one compounds containing a substituted pyrazole subunit were designed and synthesized. Their structures were characterized by ¹H-NMR, 13C-NMR and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassays displayed that most of the title compounds showed significant antiproliferative acti...

BACKGROUND Healthy nonpregnant patients may ingest clear liquids until 2 h before induction of anesthesia without adversely affecting gastric volume. The purpose of this study was to compare gastric emptying in term, nonlaboring pregnant women after ingestion of 50 ml water (control) with that after ingestion of 300 ml water. METHODS Gastric emptying was assessed in healthy, nonobese, term pr...

Serial decoding schedules for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are described and analyzed. Conventionally, in each iteration all the variable nodes and subsequently all the check nodes send messages to their neighbors (“flooding schedule”). In contrast, in the considered methods, the updating of the nodes is implemented according to a serial schedule. The evolution of the decoding algorith...

Given hydric capacity and nutrient flow of a chemostat-like system, we analyse the influence of a spatial structure on the output concentrations at steady-state. Three configurations are compared: perfectly-mixed, serial and parallel with diffusion rate. We show the existence of a threshold on the input concentration of nutrient for which the benefits of the serial and parallel configurations o...
