To analyze the biocompatibility of scaffold produced from a natural polymer derived castor oil through hemolytic activity and antimicrobial activity, to enable clinical application. Three in vitro tests were performed: Hemolytic test - Polymer partially dissolved contact with blood agar; sheep's extract red cells solution; Antimicrobial Solid direct E. Coli S. Aureus. For tests, none samples sh...

Certain factors of climate are favorable to streptococcus respiratory diseases. In those tropical environments where hemolytic streptococcus is unusual in the throat flora, scarlet fever is unknown and rheumatic fever rare. In New York City, however, following epidemic waves of pharyngitis with hemolytic streptococcus the incidence of rheumatic fever rises precipitously. The correlation between...

By How um A. PEARSON O VAL OR ELLIPTICAL SHAPE of the circulating red cells is usually inherited as a benign morphologic anomaly. In the great majority of cases, hereditary elliptocytosis is not accompanied by other hematologic abnormalities, but a number of instances of severe hemolytic anemia associated with bizarre red cell changes including prominent elliptocytosis have been reported.1’2 El...

Results. In order to study the hemolytic activity of Streptococcus, α -, β - and γ -isolated from samples clinical material synanthropic birds rodents, we studied 324 cultures Streptococcus. rats, mice caught in livestock buildings -types hemolysis were mainly manifested, -hemolysis was observed less frequently. To properties 140 Streptococcus isolated air, washings walls floors, as well feeder...

We investigated the hemolytic activity of Escherichia coli strain EC901 carrying plasmid pBJN406 containing genes draA-E involved in expression of the mannose-resistant Dr hemagglutinin, and in its isogenic insertion mutants devised with Tn5, Tn3, and TnphoA. While E. coli BN406 displayed rapid hemolytic activity against equine erythrocytes, insertion mutations in draD and draE, but not in draA...

Hemolytic transfusion reactions represent one of the most common causes of transfusion-related mortality. Although many factors influence hemolytic transfusion reactions, complement activation represents one of the most common features associated with fatality. In this paper we will focus on the role of complement in initiating and regulating hemolytic transfusion reactions and will discuss pot...

Hemolytic anemia is characterized by intravascular and extravascular destruction of erythrocytes. It manifests if the production of the erythrocytes in the bone marrow is slower than their degradation. A first good differentiation of the several forms of hemolytic anemia can be made between ‘hereditary’ and ‘acquired’. In this article, the most important forms of acquired hemolytic anemia are p...

I T HAS BECOME increasingly apparent that many forms of hemolytic disease are due to hereditary enzyme deficiencies affecting the erythrocytes. The drug-induced hemolytic anemias may be due to glucose-fl-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD ) deficiency, glutathione reductase (GSSG-R) deficiency, or to a deficiency in reduced glutathione (GSFI ). Nonspherocytic congenital hemolytic anemia may be due...

Antibody response to different doses of (T,G)-Pro--L, given in aqueous solution, was investigated in the high responder SJL and low responder DBA/1 strains by measuring hemolytic plaque-forming cells (PFC) in the spleens as well as hemagglutination titers in the sera. The gene responsible for the difference between the two strains in the response to this antigen, given in complete Freund's adju...
