Evaluations of Detection Methods of Bacterial Contamination in Platelet Components

Platelet components (PCs) have widespread applications in clinical cases. Since PCs store in room temperature (between 20-24°C), they are susceptible to bacterial contamination. There are varied approaches for identifying bacterial contamination in PCs. These methods categorized into two groups: Firstly, culture based methods and secondly, non-culture based methods. Both of them have a coup...

The Respiratory Chain of Plant Mitochondria: VI. Flavoprotein Components of the Respiratory Chain of Mung Bean Mitochondria.

Redox changes of the flavoproteins of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) mitochondria were measured by differential absorbance at 468 to 493 nanometers and by fluorescence emission above 500 nanometers excited at 436 nanometers. Four flavoproteins are distinguishable by the ratio of their fluorescence to absorbance changes, and by their requirement, or lack of it, for energy-linked reverse electron t...

Recent advances in extraction methods of medicinal plant components

Various novel techniques including ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction and supercritical fluid extraction have been developed for the extraction of medicinal plants in order to shorten the extraction time, decrease the solvent consumption, increase the extraction yield, and enhance the quality of extracts. This review was conducted to introduce and compare the conventi...
