the objective of the present experience was to study the effects of metoclopramide and tramadol on epidural analgesia induced by lidocaine in rabbits.fifteen healthy new zealand white rabbits weighting 3-3.5 kg of both genders were used.animals were divided randomly into three groups. three different combinations of drugs were injected into the epidural space to induce epidural analgesia in the...

An unidentified growth factor (UGF) was separated from shochu distillery by-products (SDBP) and its effect on the growth of a primary chick muscle cell culture was investigated. Chick muscle cells were isolated from fertile eggs (13-day-old embryos) of commercial broilers. UGF was separated on Sephadex LH-20 with a solvent system of water-methanol-ethylene dichloride (10:90:20, v/v), and the fr...

background: in order to obtain an anti-cd20 conjugate to be used in future therapeutic studies with therapeutic radioisotopes, 67ga-labeled antibody was prepared as a model of metal chelated immunoconjugate for preliminary dosimetric and biodistribution studies. materials and methods: rituximab was labeled with [67ga]-gallium chloride after residulation with freshly prepared cyclic dtpadianhydr...

The importance of individual amino acids in mediating the broad-spectrum bactericidal action of a 20-mer amphipathic, cationic peptide (CG 117-136) of human lysosomal cathepsin G was determined by using a single amino acid replacement strategy. This strategy revealed an important role for arginine because loss of any of the four arginine residues in CG 117-136 due to substitution with alanine, ...

The saccharification process is essential for bioethanol production from woody biomass including celluloses. Cold-adapted cellulase, which has sufficient activity at low temperature (<293 K), is capable of reducing heating costs during the saccharification process and is suitable for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. Endo-1,4-β-glucanase from the earthworm Eisenia fetida (EF-EG2) ...
