The umu test system is a newly developed method to evaluate genotoxicities of a wide variety of environmental carcinogens and mutagens (Oda et al., 1985; Nakamura et al., 1987). In the present study, SOS-inducing activity of 142 synthetic dyes was investigated by the umu test using Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535/pSK1002) under the condition of absence and presence of rat liver microsomal fracti...

BACKGROUND/AIM Every surgical procedure causes metabolic, endocrine, and hemodynamic stress in the organism. The aim of this work was to assess the extent of trauma following each of the two types of cholecystectomy (traditional/open and laparoscopic) by measuring palette of biochemical parameters. METHODS This prospective, single- center study included 120 patients subjected to elective chol...

Selective polymeric extractants were prepared for preconcentration of Cibacron reactive red dye, a dye that is often applied with Cibacron reactive blue and Cibacron reactive yellow for dyeing of fabrics. The best extractant was fabricated (in chloroform) using methacrylic acid (as monomer), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (as crosslinker), AIBN (as initiator for polymerization), and red dye as ...

Abstract In this study we determined the effect of variations in composition and particle size Red Sand (RS) grains on quality concrete. Concrete was prepared as cubes 15 cm 3 with a cement, sand gravel ratio 1:2:3 water to cement 0.5. Variations RS (fine aggregate) are 0 %, 5 10 20 % weight red grain were 80 mesh, 100 120 mesh. Mechanical properties maximum concrete pressure strength test at a...

background: although red meat consumption is related to the prevalence of diabetes, few data are available showing the relationship between red meat intake, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome. the study aimed to identify the association between the red meat intake, metabolic syndrome, and circulating concentration of c-reactive protein (crp) as a surrogate measure of inflammation. methods: in...

INTRODUCTION Red blood cell transfusions are common in intensive care units. For many years, transfusions of red blood were thought to have obvious clinical benefits. However, in recent years, the risks and benefits of blood transfusions have been examined more carefully, including the risk of increased morbidity and mortality due to transfusion-related immunomodulation effects. OBJECTIVES To...

The human red blood cells survive in the circulation for 120 days. Density-gradient centrifugation technique is widely used to prepare red cell fractions of different ages. It has been known that various biochemical properties of the red cells change with aging in vivo. If the changes in the red cell surface lead to the destruction of senescent cells, it would be of interest to know how these c...

Automatic Code Generation for Red-Time Reactive Systems in TROMLAB Environment

In order to evaluate the relative sensitivity of the detection of antibodies against various antigenic proteins of Ehrlichia chaffeensis for the diagnosis of the emerging infectious disease human monocytotropic ehrlichiosis, Western immunoblotting was performed with 27 serum samples from convalescent patients with antibodies, as demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence assay. Among 22 patien...
