The roles of cell density, extracellular space, intracellular factors, and apoptosis induced by the molecularly targeted drug rituximab on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were investigated using bio-phantoms. In these bio-phantoms, Ramos cells (a human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line) were encapsulated in gellan gum. The ADC values decreased linearly with the increase in cell densi...

A study was conducted to evaluate the use of Bio-Mos®, a mannan oligosaccharide derived from the cell wall of yeast, as a potential replacement for growth promoting antibiotics in the diet of growing turkeys. Bio-Mos® was added to nutritionally complete turkey diets at the rate of 0.05 and 0.10%. The growth-promoting antibiotics bambermycins and bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD) were adde...

The effect of bio-fertilizers and super-absorbents on the modification water-deficit stress was studied in castor. A field experiment conducted with a split-plot design based completely randomized block three replications. first factor included four levels (70, 100, 130, 160 mm evaporation pan Class) main plot; sub-factor application bio-fertilizer treatments (Azospirillum, Citrobacter, Azospir...

Experimental designs which prescribe either too few or too many animals per assay are wasteful, and it is important that experimenters in planning bio-assays use the number of animals coDsistent with the statistical precision actually desired in the results. The general philosophical treatment of experimental design, as noted by Fisher (1949), places controls on treatments, treatment combinatio...

The development of innovative water disinfection strategies is of utmost importance to prevent outbreaks of waterborne diseases related to poor treatment of (drinking) water. Recently, the association of silver nanoparticles with the bacterial cell surface of Lactobacillus fermentum (referred to as biogenic silver or bio-Ag(0)) has been reported to exhibit antiviral properties. The microscale b...

in vitro expansion of mesenchymal stem cell (mscs) into large number is necessary for their application in cell-based treatment of articular cartilage defects. on the other hand, some studies have indicated that bio (6-bromoindirubin-3-oxime) possesses mitogenic effects on cell culture. the objective of the present study was to examine the effect of bio on in vitro expansion and chondrogenic di...

• Use of Berken plow and intercropping with pigeon pea improves soil characteristics. Root penetration resistance increased maize roots penetrating 1.2–1.5 times deeper. had the greatest available storage 56 cm smallest runoff in both years. Increases infiltration resulted moisture retention up to 60 depth. productivity a positive net benefit. Closing yield gap enhancing efficiency rainfed prod...

Background: Hyaline cartilage defects exhibit a major challenge in the field of orthopedic surgery owing to its limited repair capacity. On the other hand, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are regarded as potent cells with a property of cartilage regeneration. We aimed to optimize marrow-derived MSC chondrogenic culture using a small bioactive molecule referred to as BIO. Methods: MSCs from the ma...

‘Patharnakh’ and ‘Punjab Beauty’ are major pear cultivars grown under the subtropical conditions of northwestern India. These tend to put up profuse vegetative growth high density planting that leads excessive shading bearing zone canopy. To facilitate light penetration into inner plant canopy, there is a need contrive an efficient approach for management. The foliar applications varying concen...

Health technology The use of routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis in the prevention of haemolytic disease in the newborn was examined. Two different target populations were considered, all pregnant women who were rhesus (RhD)-negative and women who were RhD-negative primigravidae only. The two different prophylactic treatments considered were Bio Products Laboratory (BPL) anti-D immunoglobulin(...
