Four types of bovine liver catalase (CAT) derivatives, succinylated (Suc-CAT), galactosylated (Gal-CAT), mannosylated (Man-CAT), and polyethylene glycol conjugate (PEG-CAT), were synthesized and their pharmacokinetics and therapeutic potential in a hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury model were studied in mice. About 90% of the CAT enzymatic activity was retained after chemical modification. Bi...

the purpose of this study was to identify the anatomic structures of the abdominal region of cat throughcomputed tomography (ct) to be used by veterinary radiologists, clinicians and surgeons. the abdominalregion of four cats were scanned twice, with and without using contrast medium in a same position, usinghigh-resolution imaging protocol. slice intervals were 11 mm and were adjusted so that ...

to improve our understanding of helicobacter  infection in cats and to determine whether they are reservoirs for h. pylori  and sources of zoonotic transmission to humans, we selected cats as an experimental animal model for gastric colonization by h. pylori. sixteen stray cats underwent helicobacter  eradication treatment followed by three consecutive oral inoculations of a cocktail of human h...

background :     feline haemotropic mycoplasma are a group of pleomorphic bacteria causing hemolytic anemia along with anorexia, lethargy, dehydration, weight loss and in many cases sudden death in infected animal. however, there is a limited data on the prevalence of these organisms in iranian cats.   methods :    we investigated the presence of feline haemotropic mycoplasma and probable risk ...

three known feline hemoplasmas are mycoplsama haemofelis, ‘candidatus mycoplasma haemominutum’ and ‘candidatus mycoplasma turicensis’. they are described as cause of feline infectious anemia in domestic and wild felids. other blood parasites or blood-related pathogens like concurrent retroviral infections may deteriorate the clinical condition and severity of anemia. the aims of this study were...

Item response theory (IRT) has most often been used in research on computerized adaptive testing (CAT). Depending on the model used, IRT requires between 200 and 1,000 examinees for estimating item parameters. Thus, it is not practical for instructional designers to develop their own CAT based on the IRT model. Frick improved Wald" s sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) by combining it with...

now-a-days truncus arteriosus has been known as “common arterial trunk” (cat) and is an uncommon congenital cardiac defect presenting in about 1-3% congenital heart disease. environmental and genetic factors effects on incidence of cat and other conotruncal anomalies. the majority patients with cat and 22q11 deletion have other anomalies such as hypoplasia or aplasia of the thymus or parath...

A Computer-Aided-Test (CAT) platform has been integrated in the Cadence Design Framework Environment for the evaluation of analogue/mixed-signal/RF Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) techniques. It comprises tools for statistical modelling of circuit performances, fault simulation, test generation and test optimization. The fault modelling and fault injection tools are simulator-independent, thus they a...

We study lax epimorphisms in 2-categories, with special attention to Cat and V-Cat. show that any 2-category convenient colimits has an orthogonal LaxEpi-factorization system, we give a concrete description of this factorization Cat.
