A demonstration was conducted to examine the stored forage yield and stored forage quality of two different hay forage management systems. The forage management systems were a hay harvest only system or a complimentary hayround bale silage harvest system. The hay system harvested bermudagrass forage as hay during the summer when weather conditions allowed, the complimentary system harvested ber...

With clinical trials ongoing, efficient clinical production of adeno-associated virus (AAV) to treat large numbers of patients remains a challenge. We compared distribution of AAV8 packaged with Factor VIII (FVIII) in cell culture media and lysates on days 3, 5, 6, and 7 post-transfection and found increasing viral production through day 6, with the proportion of viral particles in the media in...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for various types of infectious diseases and cancer. The increase in adipose tissue causes alterations in both adipogenesis and the production of adipocyte-secreted proteins (adipokines). Since natural killer (NK) cells are the host's primary defense against virus-infected and tumor cells, we investigated how adipocyte-conditioned medium (ACM) affects functio...

BACKGROUND Lymph node (LN) metastases are a major negative prognostic factor for peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma (PCC). Prognostic significance of the extent of LN dissection, number of metastatic LN and the lymph node ratio (LNR) are still under debate. AIMS The aims of the present study were to evaluate the prognostic value of the LN status, the total number of LNs evaluated and LNR in PCC. ...
