This review focuses on the application of hypothermic perfusion technology as a topic of current interest with the potential to have a salutary impact on the mounting clinical challenges to improve the quantity and quality of donor organs and the outcome of transplantation. The ex vivo perfusion of donor organs on a machine prior to transplant, as opposed to static cold storage on ice, is not a...

objective(s):  the field of nanotechnology is rapidly expanding .the development quantum dots quantum dot (qds), show great promise for treatment and diagnosis of cancer and targeted drug delivery little data on the toxicity of qds, especially for in vivo applications, are available. as a result, concerns exist over their toxicity for in vivo applications. then, cytotoxic effects of cadmium sel...

Climate changes and global warming are considered as very important challenges of sustainable development. Carbon sequestration is the easiest and cheapest way to reduce the greenhouse gases, especially carbon which constitutes the largest portion of them. In the present study, the potential of carbon sequestration in four plant species of Atriplex canescens, Haloxylon persicum, Artemisia siebe...

the mucopolysaccharidoses are a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of lysosomal storage diseases caused by defects in different enzymes for mucopolysaccharid degradation (glycosaminoglycans). except for mucopolysaccharide storage disease type ii (hunter disease), all are transmitted through an autosomal recessive mode of inheritanceinheritance. clinical feature of these metabolic dis...

Isotopic signatures of carbon and nitrogen are widely used for analysis the structure food webs in aquatic ecosystems. The study animals raises a number methodological questions, including choice representative tissues organs sampling as well storage studied organisms. Furthermore, impacts preservation methods can be tissue-specific, age-specific, even taxon-specific; thus, studies these on par...

Phytic acid (inositol hexakisphosphate [InsP(6)]) is the storage compound of phosphorus in seeds. As phytic acid binds strongly to metallic cations, it also acts as a storage compound of metals. To understand the mechanisms underlying metal accumulation and localization in relation to phytic acid storage, we applied synchrotron-based x-ray microfluorescence imaging analysis to characterize the ...

Objective: A research was carried out to investigate the effects of nettle (Urtica dioica) powder (NP) and essential oil (NE) on performance, blood metabolites, carcass characteristics and antioxidant stability in broiler chicks. Methods: The treatments were T1: control diet, T2: control diet + 5g/kg NP, T3: control diet + 10 g/kg NP, T4: control diet + 5g/kg NE and T5: control diet + ...

Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by deficient beta-glucuronidase (GUSB) activity. Accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in bone, cartilage, and synovium likely contributes to reduced mobility in untreated MPS VII individuals. We previously reported that neonatal intravenous injection of a retroviral vector (RV) expressing canine GUSB resulted in hepa...

The functions of the lower urinary tract are controlled by complex pathways in the brain that act like switching circuits to voluntarily or reflexly shift the activity of various pelvic organs (bladder, urethra, urethral sphincter, and pelvic floor muscles) from urine storage to micturition. In this study, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to visualize the brain switching ci...
