The behavior of granule cells in mature cerebellar cultures derived from newborn mice was studied by light and electron microscopy. Many granule cells remained in the explants as an external granular layer. These cells were differentiated, as evidenced by formation of bundles of parallel fibers and by development of synapses between granule cell axons and Purkinje cell branchlet spines, and bet...

objective: the hippocampal formation, particularly the dentate gyrus (dg), shows age-related morphological changes that could cause memory decline. it is indicated that boswellia resins attenuates memory deficits and the major component of boswellia serrata (bs) gum resin, beta boswellic acid increased neurite outgrowth and branching in hippocampal neurons. this study was designed to investigat...

Effects of formulation parameters on the fractional release profile of diclofenac sodium from matrices having the manufacturing formulation ingredients are studied. As a content of cetyl alcohol (rate controlling agent) in the matrix increases, the fractional release decreases. The fractional release increases either by increasing sucrose content outside the granule or by decreasing sucrose...

This study investigated the performance and stability of an anaerobic baffled filter reactor in the treatment of algae-laden water from Taihu Lake at several organic loading rates. The study also evaluated the capability of soft filler to train granule sludge and improve the anaerobic environment and sludge activity in the anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR), thereby enhancing the treatment efficie...

A consecutive-reaction kinetic model for the sucrose-fed upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor that accounts for a layered structure of the granule and the mass fraction of methanogens (f) is proposed. When the UASB reactor was maintained at the volumetric loading rates (VLR) of 7.9-13.8 kg chemical oxygen demand (COD)/m(3) d, the accumulated volatile fatty acids (VFAs) increased with incr...

We developed a model for nutrient removal in an aerobic granular sludge system. This model can quantitatively describe the start-up of the system by coupling a model for studying the population dynamics of the granules in the reactor (reactor-scale model) and a model for studying the microbial community structure in the granules (granule-scale model). The reactor-scale model is used for simulat...

The identification of a non-bilayer phospholipid storage in the secretory granule and the linking of the eicosanoid production with the release of histamine have prompted us to examine whether the secretory granule may also serve as both the source as well as the site of prostaglandin synthesis during exocytosis. By exposing the contents of purified granules to exogenous arachidonic acid at neu...
