Abstract Keeping health and nutritional value of the packed foods has a great value in food industries. Among the diverse methods of food processing and packaging, vacuum packaging is one of the best methods for a variety of food products, such as fish. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of such method in preventing of bacterial growth during preservation of fish fillets, four vacuum p...

Many fisheries employ fishing lights to manipulate the behaviors of target fish and attract them toward light; however, relatively few long-time observations attraction have been performed in field. Here, an underwater observation deck was used examine differences fish-attracting effect light-emitting diode (LED) on number attracted their behavior field, using white-edged rockfish as species. A...

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors from cerebellum and recombinant type 1 IP(3) receptors expressed in Sf9 cells had indistinguishable affinities for IP(3) ( K (d)=6.40+/-0.48 nM) and adenophostin A ( K (d)=0.89+/-0.05 nM). In cytosol-like medium, each of the three mammalian IP(3) receptor subtypes when expressed in Sf9 cells bound adenophostin A with greater affinity than IP(3). It...

Abstract Background Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected people worldwide. Patients with HIV who have latent TB are 20-30 times more likely to develop active TB. Integrated antiretroviral therapy (ART) early treatment for tuberculosis recommended due improved morbidity and mortality, however, there can be serious drug interactions. Rifam...

In this study we explore the inter- and intraspecific variations in ecological stoichiometry of three dominant fish species [ Saurida tumbil ( n = 33), Pennahia macrocephalus 34), Upeneus sulphureus 32)] from Beibu Gulf, contents carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), δ 13 C, 15 N fishes were analyzed. Results illustrated that ranges elemental (C, N, P, Ca) 36.73∼49.24%, 8.79∼1...
