A water-soluble polysaccharide from Sarcodia ceylonensis was obtained by using the method of water-extraction and ethanol-precipitation. The polysaccharide was further purified by chromatography on AB-8 and ADS-7 columns, yielding a pure polysaccharide termed SCP-60. The molecular weight (Mw) of SCP-60 was calculated to be 50.0 kDa, based on the calibration curve obtained with a series of Dextr...

The effect of sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) on dolichol biosynthesis by rat liver microsomes was investigated. cis-Prenyltransferase activity was stimulated 7-fold in the presence of 5 micrograms of purified SCP-2/mg of microsomal protein, which was similar to the increase obtained by adding detergent. The polyisoprenoid pattern obtained in the presence of SCP-2 was the same as that present ...

OBJECTIVES Although hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) are widely used for cerebral protection during aortic arch surgery, these strategies offer no protection for mesenteric ischaemia during prolonged circulatory arrest. This study explored mesenteric haemodynamics, metabolism, oxidative stress and inflammatory response levels during isolated SCP and co...

has extensive and well-developed Golgi apparatus. This is particularly important in the application of C23/11 as a fusion partner in human monoclonal antibody production. The electron micrograph studies also confirmed this excentric nucleation pattern. lrnmunohistochemical analysis of the paraproteins secreted by C23/11 showed that both K and 1 chains were present. Some reports have shown that ...

To determine whether red blood cell-mediated microinjection of antibodies can be used to study nuclear protein localization and function, we microinjected antibodies that have been shown to react specifically with nucleolar acidic phosphoprotein C23 into Walker 256 cells. The intracellular distribution of microinjected anti-C23 antibodies and preimmune immunoglobulins were determined by immunof...

As known for more than two decades, humans can learn to achieve self-control over their brain activity such as the polarity of slow cortical potential (SCP) shifts referred to as positivity or negativity. This learning process is supported by the visual feedback of the SCP in a time-locked trial structure. On the other hand, it has been repeatedly shown that humans are able to regulate the rand...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible neuroprotective effects of selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest on brain oxygenation and metabolism in newborn piglets. METHODS Newborn piglets 2-4 days of age, anesthetized and mechanically ventilated, were used for the study. The animals were placed on cardiopulmonary bypass, cooled to 18 degrees C and put on SCP...

ABSTRACT In a previous paper, we presented the results of applying machine learning to classify whether an H i 21-cm absorption spectrum arises in source intervening sightline more distant radio or within host itself. This is usually determined from optical giving redshift. However, not only will this be impractical for large number sources expected detected with Square Kilometre Array, but bri...

OBJECTIVE Selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) affords brain protection superior to hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) for prolonged aortic arch procedures. Optimal pH strategy for HCA is controversial; for SCP it is unknown. We compared pH strategies during SCP in a survival pig model. METHODS Twenty juvenile pigs (26+/-2.4 kg), randomized to alpha-stat (n=10) or pH-stat (n=10) management, u...
