چکیده

We report here that both ultrahigh hydrostatic pressure (UHP) and electroporation (EP) induced sublethal injury to bacterial cells surviving the treatments. The injured cells of both gram-positive and -negative bacteria became sensitive to the bacteriocins pediocin AcH and nisin. Bacteriocins in combination with either UHP or EP have greater antibacterial effectiveness than UHP or EP alone.

P-28: Hydrostatic Pressure Induced Cell Deathin Cumulus Cells and Improved In vitro Maturationof Oocytes from Preovulatory Follicles

Background: Cryopreservation of ovaries is an important technique in assisted reproduction technology. Physical forces like hydrostatic pressure have a pivotal role in reproduction systems. Due to changes in intrafollicular pressure during ovulatory process, this study designed to examine the effects of hydrostatic pressure on oocyte maturation and cell death in cumulus cells from cryopreserved...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial, heterogeneous, complex genetic endocrine and metabolic disorder, diagnostically characterized by chronic anovulation, polycystic ovaries and biochemical and clinical manifestations of hyperandrogenism. In patients with PCOS lower apoptotic rates found in granulosa cells compared to women with regular ovulatory cycles and this lea...

P-96: Mechanical Activation of Parthenogenesis in Mouse Oocytes Using Hydrostatic Pressure

Effective protocols are introduced for parthenogenesis activation in oocytes. Hydrostatic pressure can act as a mechanical stimulator that rearranges egg contents, leading to new structural or molecular combination. Alternatively, mechanical stimulation could stimulate a mechanically-gated process, such as opening or closing of stretch activated ion channels. This study, investigated the use of...

P-56: The Effect of Hydrostatic Pressure on Mouse Sperm Hyperactivation

Background: Mammalian sperm are not ready to fertilize oocyte immediately after ejaculation. Sperm achieve this ability after undergoing the processes of capacitation and hyperactivation. Hyperactivation refers to a change in the motility pattern of the sperm. Pharmacological reagents and physical-mechanical forces have been used in sperm from a variety of species. Hydrostatic pressure is a cru...

P-70: The Effect of Hydrostatic Pressure on Parthenogenetic Activation of Mouse Oocytes Derived from In vitro Grown Ovarian Follicles

Background: Parthenogenesis is the production of an embryo from a female gamete in the absence of any contribution from a male gamete, with or without the eventual development into an adult. In vivo, mammalian parthenogenesis is a rare event. Parthenogenesis can be efficiently induced in vitro with a variety of mechanical, chemical, and electrical stimuli in several species. Hydrostatic pressur...
