date juice was treated by cross- flow ultra-filtration with molecular weight cut-off (mwco) of 5 kda. optimized levels of feed brix, tmp and operation time were determined as 47.13, 82.11 psi and 30 min, respectively. under such conditions, 80.94% decolourisation and 97.78 % turbidity reduction were obtained while loss of glucose and fructose were estimated to be only 3.49% and 9.62%, respectiv...

This work investigates the feasibility of using recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE), recycled polypropylene (rPP) and old newsprint fiber (ONP) to manufacture fiber reinforced composites. The boards were made through air-forming and hot press. The effects of the fiber loading and coupling agent content on tensile, flexural, internal bond properties and water absorption and thickness swel...

OBJECTIVE Allium hirtifolium (Persian shallot) has a hypoglycemic effect on diabetic animals. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the ethyl acetate fraction of Allium hirtifolium on the function of isolated hearts of diabetic rats. METHODS The control and diabetic animals were randomly divided into four groups: saline- or extract-treated controls (n=10 and n=6, respectively) and...

BACKGROUND There is large variability among lung squamous cell carcinoma patients in response to treatment with cisplatin based chemotherapy. LncRNA is potentially a new type of predictive marker that can identify subgroups of patients who benefit from chemotherapy and it will have great value for treatment guidance. METHODS Differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNA were identified using micr...

The factors responsible for the development of hypertension during chronic activation of intrarenal V1receptors are unknown. We therefore tested whether medullary interstitial infusion of the selective V1-receptor agonist [Phe2,Ile3,Orn8]vasopressin (V1 agonist) influences renal antihypertensive mechanisms initiated by increased renal perfusion pressure (RPP). In intact anesthetized rabbits, th...

UNLABELLED Androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS) are often used by athletes to enhance athletic performance but are strongly associated with detrimental cardiovascular effects including sudden cardiac death. HYPOTHESIS AAS use increases myocardial susceptibility to ischaemia/reperfusion injury. METHODS Rats were trained (swimming) with or without intramuscular injection of nandrolone laurate (...

in this study, the extract of sea cucumber species, holothuria leucospilota was extracted and its effect studied on the chemical quality rainbow trout fillets packed in vacuum. sea cucumber was extracted using methanol and various concentrations (0, 5/0, 1 and 2%) were prepared. salmon fillets after soaking in the extracts were vacuum packed, chemical tests every 4 days included total volatile ...
