The aims of this study were to prepare a thermosensitive composite hydrogel (TCH) by mixing 24% (w/v) poloxamer 407 (P407), 16% (w/v) poloxamer 188 (P188) and 0.1% (w/v) carbopol 940 (C940), and to determine the effect of natural borneol/ (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (NB/HP-β-CD) inclusion complex on the phase transition temperature, mechanical, rheological properties, and release behaviors...

Henle 407 and HeLa cells were compared as hosts for Shigella dysenteriae at a low multiplicity of infection. Efficiency of attachment and invasion without centrifugation, as well as selectivity for pathogenic over nonpathogenic S. dysenteriae without Congo red, were much greater for Henle 407 cells than for HeLa cells.

V407 Vul (= RXJ1914.4+2457) shows pulsations in X-ray flux on a period of 9.5 minutes, which have been ascribed to accretion onto a magnetic white dwarf, with the X-ray pulses seen as the accreting pole moves into and out of view. The X-ray flux drops to zero between pulses, and no other periods are seen, suggesting that V407 Vul is a type of system known as a “polar” in which the white dwarf h...

       The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of additives, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 1450, poloxamer 407, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium chloride in order to improve physico-chemical characteristics, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release of bovine serum albumin, form poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles prepared by the w/o/w solvent evaporation...

LINGUISTICS 407 Lecture #5 TYPOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION Typology is concerned with • establishing what types of systems are possible in natural language, • investigation of structural similarities among languages that are not genetically related. Languages may be classified on the basis of their type. In 1818 A. Schlegel proposed a typological classification of languages -still very influential! ...

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) adherence to human intestinal tissue is known to be mediated by aggregative adherence fimbriae (AAF). However, the host cell molecules involved in EAEC adherence remain uncharacterized. In the present study, four key membrane glycoproteins of cultured human intestinal epithelial cells (INT-407) were found to be involved in the interaction with the T8 st...

Monolayers of intestine 407 (Int-407) cells were infected with the virulent Salmonella typhimurium strain C52, and the adhesion to and invasion of these cells were studied. The effects of the multiplicity of infection and growth phase of the bacteria (logarithmic versus stationary) on the interaction with eukaryotic cells were investigated. In contrast to other reports, we found no differences ...

the objective of this work was to develop bioadhesive topical gel of aceclofenac with the help of response-surface approach. experiments were performed according to a 3-level factorial design to evaluate the effects of two independent variables [amount of poloxamer 407 (pl-407 = x1) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose k100 m (hpmc = x2)] on the bioadhesive character of gel, rheological property o...

Antibodies to neuropeptide receptors can be used to localize and characterize the receptors in tissues and cell lines. Two strategies were used to study the rat substance P receptor (SPR, NK-1) by immunological methods. First, a polyclonal antiserum was raised by immunizing rabbits with a peptide corresponding to the 15 amino acid residues (KTMTESSSFYSNMLA, SPR393-407) at the intracellular C-te...
