Problem statement: Turbid waters, containing colloidal particles, are normally treated by coagulation-flocculation followed by clarification. Ferric chloride and alum, which are the most common types of coagulants in water treatment plants of Iran as well as many other countries, were investigated with the aim of determining their capabilities to reduce turbidity of drinking water. Turbidity wa...

Intravascular transplantation of tissue factor (TF)-bearing cells elicits an instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR) resulting in thrombotic complications and reduced engraftment. Here we studied the hemocompatibility of commonly used human white adipose tissue (WAT), umbilical cord (UC) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) and devised a possible strategy for safe and efficient str...

OBJECTIVES To develop a sleep hypoxia (SH) in emphysema (SHE) rat model and to explore whether SHE results in more severe hepatic inflammation than emphysema alone and whether the inflammation changes levels of coagulant/anticoagulant factors synthesized in the liver. METHODS Seventy-five rats were put into 5 groups: SH control (SHCtrl), treated with sham smoke exposure (16 weeks) and SH expo...

To study the specific role of gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) residues in prothrombin, we have isolated a series of partially carboxylated prothrombin variants from a patient with a hereditary defect in vitamin K-dependent carboxylation (Goldsmith, G. H., Pence, R. E., Ratnoff, O. D., Adelstein, D. A., and Furie, B. (1982) J. Clin. Invest. 69, 1253-1260). The three variant prothrombins, purifi...

Leukocytes play an important role not only in the physiological processes of inflammation and wound healing, but also in the pathophysiological process of atherosclerosis. Integral to their role in these processes is the ability of these cells to participate in and regulate the molecular events leading to thrombin formation, which is supported by several observations. For example, there is an a...

Use of Withania coagulans as herbal coagulant in the production probiotic cheese containing inulin and evaluation its physicochemical, sensory textural properties

Background: Conventional chemical coagulation is considered as the old method to color and COD removal in textile effluent. Electrocoagulation (EC) process is a robust method to achieve maximum removal. Methods: This work was designed to compare the result of operational parameters including optimum pH and coagulant concentration for chemical coagulation with ferric chloride and alum. Also, th...

Comparison of physicochemical and microbial properties corn milk analog vegetable coagulant cheese with cow's animal rent during storage

BACKGROUND Acute unprovoked idiopathic fatal pulmonary embolism (IFPE) causes sudden death without an identifiable thrombogenic risk. We aimed to investigate the underlying genomic risks of IFPE through whole exome sequencing (WES). METHODS We reviewed 14years of consecutive out-of-hospital fatal pulmonary embolism records (n=1478) from the ethnically diverse population of New York City. We s...
