There were two parallel classes: XI-A and XI-B. Each class consisted 30 students; thus, total number 60 students. whole taken as sample. Cluster random sampling ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotential cells with utility in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the immunological properties and immunogenicity of allogeneic MSC remain poorly defined. Recent studies investigating their immunogenicity remain inconclusive and this has hampered their clinical application. This study investigated the (1) immunogenicity and (2) immunomo...

Dibenzofuran (DF) is one of the dioxin carbon skeletal compounds used as a model to study the microbial degradation of dioxins. This study analyzed the transcriptional regulation of the DF dioxygenase genes dfdA1 to dfdA4 in the DF-utilizing actinomycetes Rhodococcus sp. strain YK2 and Terrabacter sp. strain YK3. An open reading frame designated dfdR was detected downstream of the dfdC genes. T...

PURPOSE To assess 3-dimensional (3D) pulsatile displacement forces (DF) acting on thoracic endografts using 3D computational techniques. METHODS A novel computational method to quantitate the pulsatile 3D flow and pressure fields and aortic wall dynamics in patient-specific anatomical models based on cardiac-gated computed tomography (CT) scans was used to construct simulations of the proxima...

Although dietary fiber (DF) negatively affects energy and nutrient digestibility, there is growing interest for the inclusion of its fermentable fraction in pig diets due to their functional properties and potential health benefits beyond supplying energy to the animals. This paper reviews some of the relevant information available on the role of different types of DF on digestion of nutrients ...

A comprehensive dietary fiber (DF) definition was adopted by the CODEX Alimentarius Commission (CAC) (1) to reflect the current state of knowledge about DF, (2) to recognize that all substances that behave like fiber regardless of how they are produced can be named as DF if they show physiological benefits, and (3) to promote international harmonization for food labeling and food composition ta...

The present study aims to determine the potential of Bali cattle ovaries as sources oocytes for in vitro embryo production based on different ovarian reproductive statuses. were grouped into 4 categories: with no corpus luteum and dominant follicles (CL-DF-), those (CL+DF-), without but (CL-DF+), follicle (CL+DF+). collected via slicing technique grades (a, b, c, d). oocyte’s maturation was per...

In order to investigate the effects of dietary fibre (DF) characteristics on carbohydrate degradation and the metabolism in the large intestine, pigs were fed on four rye-bread diets (based on whole rye, pericarp/testa, aleurone or endosperm) with differences in characteristics and amount of DF. The degradability of DF in the large intestine varied greatly between diets. The pericarp/testa DF w...

Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus popularly referred to as craveiro is considered as a calming agent in different local preparations. The present study attempted to examine antidepressant-like effect of dichloromethane fraction (DF) and role of monoamine oxidase (MAO), tryptophan, and tyrosine hydroxylase. Based on the research focus, tail suspension (TS), forced swimming (FS), and open field (OF) tes...
