Objective(s): Human Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (hWMSCs) are undifferentiated cells commonly used in regenerative medicine. The aim of this study was to develop a reliable tool for tracking hWMSCs when utilized as therapeutics in burnt disorders and also to optimize the cell-based treatment procedure. Materials and Methods: The hWMSCs were first isolated from fresh umbilical cord Wha...

The nutrition of patients with extensive burns usually requires daily intakes of fats, proteins and carbohydrates with a total calorific value in excess of 4000 kcal together with supranormal amounts of water and various ions, mainly sodium. These calorie requirements by a patient confined to bed are approximately those required by a normal adult male performing hard manual work. Recognition of...

Granulocyte function in burn injury has been evaluated with an in vitro animal assay. Bactericidal activity, using this technique, was markedly depressed only when granulocytes from scald burned rats were challenged with each of three strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence of autologous postburn serum or heat-inactivated serum. Preincubation of postburn and normal serum at 37 degrees...

livestock grazing and rangelands fire are important ecological disturbances influencing the vegetation and soil properties in rangelands ecosystem. this study was conducted to determine the effects of different burned treatments and distances from the water sources on some soil and vegetation properties of rangelands ecosystem. the experiment was conducted in lashgar dar rangelands. vegetation ...

engine performance depends on two main factors of engine speed and ignition time. ignition timing can affect engine life, fuel economy and engine power. in this paper, to study engine performance of peugeot 206 tu3a with comparison ratio of 10.5:1 and displacement of 1361cc in matlab software, a two-zone burned/unburned model with the fuel burning rate described by awiebe function was used for ...

The potential of the recent SPOT VEGETATION (VGT) sensor for characterizing boreal forest Ž res was investigated. Its capability for hotspot detection and burned area mapping was assessed by analysing a series of VGT, NOAA/AVHRR, and Landsat TM images over a 1541 km2 Ž re that occurred in May 1998, in Alberta, Canada. VGT’s 1.65mm, short-wave infrared (SWIR) channel was capable of detecting the...

Reproductive phenology is likely to vary spatially with environmental conditions that alter microclimate, in particular temperature. We hypothesized that within the same plant community type, environmental changes produced by recent burning would alter plant phenological patterns and temporal structure of the plant community. Specifically, we predicted accelerated flowering and fruiting dates i...
