Activated protein C (APC) is a major control system of blood coagulation. APC prevents coagulation pathway by degrading Va and VIIIa plasma's coagulation factors. Protein C activation requires its binding to specific endothelial cell receptor (EPCR). APC binding to EPCR also activates a wide range of defense mechanisms (anti-inflammatory, antiapoptosis...). EPCR expression by cells can be detec...

The objective of this research was to determine the variation of milk stability evaluated with ethanol, boiling, and coagulation time tests (CTT) to identify milk components related with stability and verify the correlation between the three methods. Bulk raw milk was collected monthly at 50 dairy farms from January 2007 to October 2009 and physicochemical attributes, somatic cell (SCC), and to...

Central hypovolemia elevates hemostatic activity which is essential for preventing exsanguination after trauma, but platelet activation to central hypovolemia has not been described. We hypothesized that central hypovolemia induced by lower body negative pressure (LBNP) activates platelets. Eight healthy subjects were exposed to progressive central hypovolemia by LBNP until presyncope. At basel...

Introduction: Disposal of the wastewater produced in the paper and paperboard industry without the refining process can add substances to the environment, which are harmful to humans, environment, and other organisms. With regard to process efficiency, the current methods used in wastewater treatment of this industry are economically unjustifiable. Therefore, in this research, the electrolysis ...

BACKGROUND Dengue virus infection (DVI) is a prevalent and potentially fatal viral disease associated with coagulopathy. So far, the coagulation profile of DVI patients with thrombocytopenia has not been assessed through a viscoelastic test such as rotational thromboelastometry. We aimed to describe the prevalence and characteristics of coagulation abnormalities in dengue fever outpatients with...

EditorÐAs the in¯uence of i.v. ¯uids on the coagulation system is of importance and also sustains the discussion on optimal ¯uid therapy, we would like to comment on the results reported by Ng and colleagues 1 and the suggestions presented in the accompanying editorial. 2 The study design chosen by Ng and colleagues 1 to investigate coagulation and haemodilution might eliminate the in¯uence of ...

background bone marrow transplantation (bmt)is nowadays used in various hematological disorders including leukemias. hemophilia a & b are sex linked bleeding disorders in which there are various genetic abnormalities in factor viii & ix genes. among various hematological disorders, bleeding disorders mainly hemophilia in now widely treated using plasma derived and recombinant factor viii & ix c...

1. In pig embryos of 100 to 270 mn the average coagulation time of the blood was found to be about 23 minutes. This represents a coagulation time six to eight times greater than that obtained for the adult. 2. The first evidence of coagulation in the blood of these embryos consisted in the appearance of small masses of fibrin deposited almost invariably at the side of the test-tube. The ensuing...

Abstract Wastewater issues became a complex challenge in the world. There are several methods wastewater treatment, such as chemical, physical, biological, and combination of each method. However, process has advantages disadvantages. The physicochemical common used adsorption coagulation. Adsorption coagulation excellent to remove pollutants. is greatly influenced by pH, adsorbent dose, temper...
