In present investigation the biological leaching of aluminum by isolated fungi from red mud, the main waste product of the alkaline extraction of Al from bauxite was studied. Biological leaching experiments were carried out using indigenous, date and orange specimen fungi, Aspergillus Niger, Penicillium simplicissimum notatum. Savored Dextrose chloramphenicol Agar (SDA) wa...

An increased rate of fatty acid transport into skeletal muscle has been has been linked to the accumulation of intramuscular lipids and insulin resistance, and red muscles are more susceptible than white muscles in developing fatty acid-mediated insulin resistance. Therefore, we examined in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, relative to lean rats, 1) whether rates of fatty acid transport and tra...

The fermentation and quality characteristics of kimchi, made by adding different types of red pepper (semi-dried red pepper, fresh red pepper, dried red pepper) according to drying conditions, were examined for 15 days at 10C fermentation. The initial pH was approximately 5.65~5.72 in all groups, and the pH decreased with increasing fermentation time. The color value of a/b showed the highest i...

the present study was carried out to examine the effects of a vitamin premix (vp) reduction or withdrawal from finisher diet (29-43 days) on performance, immuno-competence, and characteristics of leg bones and meat lipid oxidation of chickens fed on corn-soybean meal based diet. a total of 900 male broiler chickens (ross 308) were allocated to five treatment groups (0, 33%, 66%, 100% and 133% v...

We investigated the influence of different conditions (light composition and plant growth regulators (PGRs) in culture media) on morphophysiological parameters Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni vitro vivo. Both PGRs light spectra applied were found to significantly affect morphogenesis. During micropropagation stage S. rebaudiana, optimal growth, with a multiplication coefficient 15, was obtained an MS...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizing aminolevulinic acid (ALA) as a photosensitiser has been used to ablate premalignant/malignant skin conditions including superficial basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with acceptable cosmetic outcome. Clinicians continue however to face difficulties in determining the exact dose that is sufficient to achieve a complete healing from the condition where the experience...

Dapsone hydroxylamine (DDS-NOH) is a direct-acting hemolytic agent responsible for dapsone-induced hemolytic anemia in the rat. The hemolytic activity of DDS-NOH is associated with the formation of disulfide-linked hemoglobin adducts on membrane skeletal proteins. We have postulated that this membrane protein "damage" is a consequence of DDS-NOH-induced oxidative stress within the red cell and ...

OBJECTIVE To review the evidence on diagnostic accuracy of red flag signs and symptoms to screen for fracture or malignancy in patients presenting with low back pain to primary, secondary, or tertiary care. DESIGN Systematic review. DATA SOURCES Medline, OldMedline, Embase, and CINAHL from earliest available up to 1 October 2013. INCLUSION CRITERIA Primary diagnostic studies comparing red...

because of the harmful effects of chemicals on human health and environment, use of these compounds in postharvest technology of agricultural crops is recently restricted and it is necessary to find safe compounds for use in postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables. in this study, effects of salicylic acid and aloe vera gel on quality attributes and postharvest life of table grape(cv. gi...
