Prostaglandins and thrombosis formation

Prostaglandins and model aspects of thrombosis.

The possible role of prostaglandins (PGs) in thrombosis was determined by examining their effects in models of thrombosis which included platelet aggregation (in vitro), blood flow (in vivo) and thrombus formation (in vivo). It was found that blood flow and thrombosis can be effectively modulated by the various types of prostaglandins produced by the blood and the vascular tissue.

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Prostaglandins temporally regulate cytoplasmic actin bundle formation during Drosophila oogenesis

Prostaglandins (PGs)--lipid signals produced downstream of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes--regulate actin dynamics in cell culture and platelets, but their roles during development are largely unknown. Here we define a new role for Pxt, the Drosophila COX-like enzyme, in regulating the actin cytoskeleton--temporal restriction of actin remodeling during oogenesis. PGs are required for actin filame...

Prostaglandins

Knowledge of the structure and synthesis of antibodies (immunoglobulins) has developed to a remarkable degree in the last decade. Distinct classes of immunoglobulin (yG, yM, -yA, yD, yE, and their subgroups) have been identified and shown to consist of fixed numbers of light and heavy polypeptide chains organized in pairs. Each polypeptide has a segment of variable amino acid sequence; the spec...
