OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of storage time and temperature on complete blood count (CBC) and comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) testing. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science (WOS), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang databases and SinoMed databases were searched up to May 2017. Clinical trials with adult whole blood sample...

This study examined the effects of motor stimulation via treadmill on the behavior of male gerbils after external carotid ischemic brain lesion. The animals were assigned to five groups; ischemic with no stimulation (SIG), ischemic with stimulation (SIG 12/24/48/72h after surgery), non-ischemic with no stimulation (CC), non-ischemic with stimulation (CE) and sham, surgery without occlusion with...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to apply speckle tracking imaging (STI) to evaluate rabbit sepsis induced myocardial injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rabbits were injected with the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS). before and 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h after the injection of LPS, conventional echocardiography and STI were performed to measure left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVDd), end-sy...

The effects of different priming treatments and priming durations on germination percentage at different temperatures in parsley seeds were studied. The seeds were treated for 2, 4, 6 and 8 days with the PEG 6000 (–0.5 MPa, –1.0 MPa and –1.5 MPa), KNO3 (0.30 mol/L and 0.35 mol/L), Mannitol (0.50 mol/L and 0.60 mol/L) and hydropriming (12h, 24h, 36h and 48h) and unprimed (control). Germination s...

Exercise-induced-muscle-damage (EIMD) is a well-described phenomenon which leads to decreased force output and altered neuromuscular function. How these symptoms of EIMD affect brain function, in particular cortical activity has not been described. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the symptoms of EIMD and cortical beta (β) activity during a submaximal ...

Epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) controls vectorial Na across epithelia thus playing a central role in all aspects of fluid clearance in the body. The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro time dependant model of hypoxia induced reduction in vectorial Na and fluid transport across the alveolar epithelium. AEC exposed to 3% O2, for different time periods (1 h, 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h and 48 h...

Abstract Considering the expansion of use renewable energy in future, technology to store and transport hydrogen will be important. Hydrogen is gaseous at an ambient condition, diffuses easily, its density low. So liquid organic carriers (LOHCs) have been proposed as a way high density. LOHC can store, transport, by hydrogenation dehydrogenation cycles. In this review, we focus on typical LOHCs...
