The atherosclerotic basis of CHD and the pathogenic roles in this condition played by disturbances of lipoprotein metabolism, high blood pressure and cigarette smoking are well known (Grundy et al. 1987). In addition, the major cause of sudden cardiac death (Davies & Thomas, 1984), acute myocardial infarction (De Wood et al. 1980), unstable angina pectoris (Fuster & Chesebro, 1986) and silent m...

Household waste is originating from kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, former household industrial and human waste. generated every day the amount too much to match population has potential pollute poison environment. Management of in order reduce impact on environment public health. The method used this study a batch system through coagulation-flocculation process. first step by adding chlorine lim...

Human plasma kallikrein consists of an N-terminal heavy chain of molecular weight (mol wt) 52,000, linked by disulfide bonds to two light chain variants (mol wt 36,000 or 33,000). Although the active catalytic site of kallikrein resides on the C-terminal light chain, the role of the N-terminal heavy chain is less clear. We therefore studied an enzyme designated beta-kallikrein, containing a sin...

Covalently bound organic silicate aluminum hybrid coagulants were synthesized by employing two silane coupling agents [diethoxydimethylsilane (DEDMS), gamma-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane (APDES)] as silicon sources. An additional coagulant was synthesized using anothersilane-tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) for comparison. Both the coagulant with DEDMS and that with APDES as the silicon source ...

BACKGROUND Interaction of fibrinogen with specific leukocyte integrins of monocytes may link coagulation and inflammation, however, the precise mechanism of fibrinogen leading to the pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulatory response on monocytes is yet unknown. RESULTS Fibrinogen and its digestion fragment D induced pro-coagulant activation of monocytes as assessed in a cellular coagulation assay...

The adrenergic agonist norepinephrine is shown to stimulate endothelium to induce protein S release and degradation, leading to diminished anti-coagulant activity and to down-regulation of protein S cell surface-binding sites. Norepinephrine-induced release of intracellular protein S was blocked by the alpha 1-adrenergic antagonist prazosin (10(-7) M) but not by the alpha-adrenergic antagonist ...

Introduction: Colloidal materials and suspended solids cause turbidity in water. To remove turbidity, clarification method is used that includes processes of coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. Due to the long duration of coagulation process, coagulant aids are applied. Despite the favorable efficiency of synthetic polyelectrolytes as a coagulant aid, due to their harmful effects on h...
