Surface immobilization of bioactive molecules is a central paradigm in the design of implantable devices and biosensors with improved clinical performance capabilities. However, in vivo degradation or denaturation of surface constituents often limits the long-term performance of bioactive films. Here we demonstrate the capacity to repeatedly regenerate a covalently immobilized monomolecular thi...

The fact that the ammonia content of shed blood under aseptic conditions increases is well known and is taken into account as much as possible by a.rapid procedure in methods for the determination of preformed ammonia. Suggestions as to the source of this slowly liberated ammonia have as yet led to no positive findings. My experiments were undertaken to determine whether with aseptic measures t...

Hypertension causes target organ damage by the direct physical effect of increased blood pressure, as well as the active promotion of atherosclerosis and thrombogenesis. More importantly, the processes of thrombogenesis and atherogenesis are intimately related, and many of the basic concepts of thrombogenesis can be applied to atherogenesis. Over 150 years ago, Virchow1 postulated that a triad ...

background & aim: essential oil of pennyroyal (mentha pulegium l.) has many applications in food, perfume and pharmaceutical industries. the aim of this study was to determine the content and chemical constituents of pennyroyal essential oil growing wild in southern iran. experimental: the aerial parts of the plant were collected around hajiabad, hormozgan province in 2013. the essential oi...

We present the results of our recent systematic study of the light-cone expansion of heavy-to-light transition form factors in a model with scalar constituents [1]. We show that the higher-twist contributions (represented in this model by off-light-cone effects) all have the same behaviour in the 1/mQ expansion. The suppression parameter of the higher-twist contributions compared to the lower-t...

Soybeans are high in protein but also contain a number of minor constituents traditionally considered to be antinutritional factors. These include trypsin inhibitors, phytic acid, saponins and isoflavones. These compounds are now thought to have beneficial biological effects in the diet, such as lowering blood cholesterol or preventing cancer. Soybean processing changes the content of these min...

This review discussed the mechanism by which hyperglycemia produces changes in blood constituents, the effect of hyperglycemia on different blood constituent with special stress on anemia, as well as its influence on immunological changes and cancer susceptibility. The predictive value of changes in these blood constituent and the development of diabetic complications as well as blood constitue...

Existing evidence is scarce concerning the various effects of different PM sizes and chemical constituents on blood lipids. A panel study that involved 88 healthy college students with five repeated measurements (440 samples in total) was performed. We measured mass concentrations particulate matter diameters ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5), ≤1.0 (PM1.0), ≤0.5 (PM0.5) as well number 0.2 (PN0.2) ≤0.1 (PN0.1). ...
