The effect of phagocytosis of living bacteria on apoptotic DNA changes was examined in pig leukocytes in relation to immune system maturation. Blood samples of pigs (aged 6, 12 and 18 weeks) were cultivated with a suspension of bacterial cells Salmonella typhimurium LB 5000 at 37 (o)C. In the experimental groups, killed bacteria and microspheric particles were used to detect the influence of th...

the chemical composition, in situ ruminal degradability coefficients of dry matter (dm), and nutrient digestibility in sheep were evaluated for corn silage (cs) treated (fresh weight basis) with different levels of a commercial bacterial inoculant (i) as follows: (1) untreated cs (control); (2) cs + i at half of the recommended level; (3) cs + i at the recommended level (3  1010 colony forming...

AbstractVarious nanoparticles have been investigated as novel drug delivery systems, including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). Due to their rapid clearance from systemic circulation, nanoparticles do not provide sustained action in most cases. Different strategies have been employed to overcome this problem. In this direction, the present study introduces erodible in-situ forming gel systems ...

The authors evaluated and compared the efficacies of eye drops and in situ forming gel of pefloxacin mesylate in pseudomonas induced conjunctivitis in 40 rabbits. The in-situ forming gel of pefloxacin mesylate was formulated as a liquid and when administered in the cul-de-sac, it gets converted to gel. The objective of the present research work was to demonstrate the in vivo activity of in situ...
