platelet aggregation inhibitory effect and anticoagulant properties of fractions separated from the venoms of cerastes persicus fieldi and echis carinatus were investigated. the partial fractionation was performed on a sephadex g-100 column. two fractions separated from cerastes persicus fieldi showed anti platelet aggregation activity on adp (200 µm)-induced platelet aggregation (ca 80% inhibi...

Published researches about the pretreatment of exit wastewater from desalination units are rare. Nowadays, lake of potable water, development of industries and population growth, extend desalination units. Although desalination units have been grown up, but exit brine stream is usually drained into the sea ecosystem [1-4]. Moreover, annually a large quantity of concentrated brine is discharged ...

Neutralization effects of Acorus calamus and Withania somnifera root extracts were tested against Echis carinatus venom. Both plant extracts were effectively neutralized the various pharmacological activities induced by Echis carinatus venom. About 0.14 mg of Acorus calamus and 0.16 mg of Withania somnifera root extracts were able to completely neutralize the lethal a...

Excessive pro-coagulant and decreased fibrinolytic activities in the alveolar compartment have been repeatedly documented for inflammatory and fibrotic lung diseases. The current authors determined the contribution of different resident lung cells to the altered local production of coagulation- and fibrinolysis-system components in bleomycin-injured mouse lungs via cell-specific and quantitativ...

Using the substrate H-D-Pro-Phe-Arg-p-nitroanilide-HCl, an amidolytic assay was designed to measure prekallikrein in plasma. At a substrate concentration of 1 mM (Km = 0.2 mM), the amidolysis of purified kallikrein at 1 coagulant unit/ml was observed to be 2.47 mumole/min/ml. Conditions for plasma prekallikrein activation were optimized to approach complete activation when compared to the amido...

neutralization effects of acorus calamus and withania somnifera root extracts were tested against echis carinatus venom. both plant extracts were effectively neutralized the various pharmacological activities induced by echis carinatus venom. about 0.14 mg of acorus calamus and 0.16 mg of withania somnifera root extracts were able to completely neutralize the lethal activity of 2ld 50 of echis ...
