The large and varied multigene families of tissue kallikreins of rat and mouse are considered to selectively release as many bioactive peptides. In order to determine whether a similar family of enzymes is expressed in the organs of the guinea pig purification studies were performed. Tissue kallikreins from the submandibular gland, coagulating gland/prostate complex and the pancreas were separa...

The quest for alternative matrices plant tissue culture is a continuing process. Agar one of the utmost common coagulating agents in in vitro clonal propagation. Pure grade agar has high value price and fear over manipulation its resources affected searching low cost options. Therefore, liquid medium supplement with silica gel, glass beads sands substratum two steps micro propagation (se...

Various surgical approaches and methods of hemostasis have been reported for intraabdominal ligation and hemostasis in equine MIS. In recent years laparoscopic approaches have become popular in light of the fact that they are minimally invasive, provide superior visualization, allow tension free hemostasis, and eliminate the need for general anesthesia. Laparoscopic techniques described for lig...

Hunt (1982) and Friedlander (1960a, b) used dimensional analysis to derive expressions for the steady-state particle-size distribution in aerosols and hydrosols. Their results were supported by the Monte Carlo simulation of a non -interacting coagulating population of suspended spherical particles developed by Pearson, V alioulis & List (1984). Here the realism of the Monte Carlo simulation is ...

In decerebrate and awake cats it was shown that central chemosensitivity can be blocked by cooling or coagulating bilaterally a formerly described area on the ventral medullary surface of cats, called area S. Such a procedure is followed by apnoea under the condition that vagi and sinus nerves are cut. With either vagi, sinus nerves, or central chemosensitivity intact respiration can be influen...

We report a novel approach for producing carbon nanotube fibers (CNF) composed with the polysaccharide agarose. Current attempts to make CNF's require the use of a polymer or precipitating agent in the coagulating bath that may have negative effects in biomedical applications. We show that by taking advantage of the gelation properties of agarose one can substitute the bath with distilled water...

Umbilical endometriosis infrequently presents to the plastic surgeon. As such, the diagnosis is difficult to make because it is often overlooked. The current report presents a 35-year-old nulligravid woman with a six-month history of a firm, cyclically swelling lesion in her umbilical region. None of the signs characteristic of pelvic endometriosis except dysmenorrhea and a one-year history of ...
