In a previous paper, pressure drop, flooding and mass-transfer characteristics of a novel pilot-scale distillation column called spinning cone column (SCC) were presented. Here, we present the result of comparison of mass-transfer efficiencies of SCC and structured packing. Comparison of SCC and structured packing mass-transfer characteristics show that the gas and liquid-side height of transfe...

The development of novel regenerative material to reduce inflammation and enhance healing process is one the greatest task in clinical research. PRF ( platelet rich fibrin) an second generation concentrate which has gained popularity recent years due its unique process. Platelet Rich Fibrin completely autologous with extended growth factor release compared other concentrates. standard quality q...

The polymerization of thrombin and ancrod fibrin monomers was studied with a standardized technique that evaluated turbidity changes and protein incorporation into the clot. Ancrod fibrin monomers were found to polymerize more slowly and form less turbid clots (at identical protein concentrations). Changes in ionic strength and pH influences ancrod fibrin monomer polymerization to a greater ext...

Fibrin forms the cohesive network of hemostatic plugs and thrombi, and it also provides the temporary matrix for initial support of healing and revascularization. Because cell proliferation is needed for revascularization after vessel injury, we have characterized structural requirements of fibrin needed to support cell proliferation on fibrin in vitro. Proliferation of cultured human endotheli...

Ultrasound reversibly alters the structure of polymerized fibrin, an effect that could influence tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) binding. We have, therefore, characterized the effects of ultrasound on binding of t-PA to fibrin using a novel system in which radiolabeled, active-site blocked, single chain tissue-plasminogen activator flowed through a fibrin gel at constant rate, and specific ...

Guinea pig peritoneal macrophages were demonstrated to bind selectively soluble 125I-fibrin and fibrin/fibrinogen complexes as compared with fibrinogen, fibrinogen degradation products, and fibrin degradation products. Cellular uptake was considered to be surface receptor binding on the basis of removal of bound 125I-fibrin by trypsin and because uptake occurred in the presence of metabolic inh...

the crystal structure of the title schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal x-ray diffraction data.the solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(ii) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. the crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.

Introduction: Natural biomaterials and growth factors are key factors in tissue engineering. The objective of the present study was to evaluate transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and curcumin on proliferation and differentiation of nasal-derived chondrocyte seeded on the fibrin glue scaffold. Methods: Chondrocytes were isolated from nasal samples. Nasal-derived chon...

Fibrin structure and stability have been linked to many thrombotic diseases, including venous thromboembolism. Analysis of the molecular mechanisms that affect fibrin structure and stability became possible when the crystal structure of fibrinogen was solved. Biochemical studies of natural and recombinant variant fibrinogens have examined the interactions that mediate the conversion of soluble ...
