Establishing thrombosis-resistant surface is crucial to develop tissue-engineered small diameter vascular grafts for arterial reconstructive procedures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability and anti-coagulation properties of heparin covalently linked to decellularized porcine carotid arteries. Cellular components of porcine carotid arteries were completely removed with chem...

Thrombin uses three principal sites, the active site, exosite I, and exosite II, for recognition of its many cofactors and substrates. It is synthesized in the zymogen form, prothrombin, and its activation at the end of the blood coagulation cascade results in the formation of the active site and exosite I and the exposure of exosite II. The physiological inhibitors of thrombin are all serpins,...

The purpose of this work is the study ability plant material Aloe vera to act as natural coagulant using raw water obtained from a drinking treatment (Mila, Algeria). Different solvents such as: NaCl; NaOH and HCl were used chemical activators extract active components plant, different coagulation-flocculation experiments conducted in jar test apparatus evaluate performance extracted coagulant....

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is considered the most environmentally harmful when discharged without proper treatment. In addition to conventional biological treatment methods, physicochemical techniques are alternative methods treat POME as polishing or post-treatment meet discharge water quality standards set by authorities. Recently, electroflotation (EF) has gained popularity in wastewater ...
