To determine the relative salt tolerance and/or resistance in seedlings of pistachio genotypes, four pot experimentswere conducted. In experiments 1 and 2, the effects of salinity on growth indices were studid. Experiments were donein the form of split plot based on RCBD. In each experiment, mainplots consisted of different electrical conductivitiesof irrigation water (ECiws). In experiment 1, ...

BACKGROUND Human skin allograft has been used as wound coverage for a long time; it is one of the most successful and widely used dressings for burn wounds in the world. OBJECTIVE To prepare a freeze-dried human split-thickness skin allograft and evaluate its cytotoxicity, the structure and physical properties after processing methods and clinical efficacy in burn patients. METHODS After en...

Hematopoietic chimerism is considered to generate robust allogeneic tolerance; however, tissue rejection by chimeras can occur. This "split tolerance" can result from immunity toward tissue-specific Ags not expressed by hematopoietic cells. Known to occur in chimeric recipients of skin grafts, it has not often been reported for other donor tissues. Because chimerism is viewed as a potential app...

F. elatior, Puccinellia distans, Lotus strictus have been tested at 4 different water table depths which grow under natural conditions in salt-affected soils of arid and semi-arid regions. The trial was carried out for 3 years with split plots test design randomized blocks. salt concentration the groundwater where irrigation has made between 3.1-4.4 dS m-1. effect on dry grass yields cultivars ...

BACKGROUND Traditionally, reconstruction of concurrent maxillary and mandibular defects on opposite sides of the facial skeleton often requires use of 2 free osseocutaneous flaps. A new technique of using a differentially split osteomyocutaneous peroneal artery-based combined (OPAC) flap for 1-stage reconstruction of left maxillary and right mandibular defects is presented. METHODS An OPAC fl...

kochia scoparia is a salt resistant plant that can be used in producing forage in the areas with salt water and soil resources. one of the problems which produce the forage plants in these areas decreases the function and quality of the forage in irrigation condition with salt water. therefore, using the chemical fertilizers can be considered as a useful solution. this study was conducted to ev...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of bupivacaine moistened dressing and conventional dressing in patients requiring split thickness skin graft for reconstruction of various defects. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Plastic Surgery and Burns Unit, Mayo Hospital, King Edward Medical University, Lahore, from January 2011 to January 2013. ...

BACKGROUND The depth of graft harvest and the residual dermis available for reepithelization primarily influence the healing of split-skin graft donor sites. When the thigh region is chosen, the authors hypothesize based on thickness measurements that the anterolateral region is the optimal donor site. METHODS Full-thickness skin specimens were sampled from the anteromedial, anterior, and ant...

A 14 year old boy suffering from marked penoscrotal lymphedema is reported. Reduction scrotoplasty was done and the neoscrotum was made by combining the anterior suprapubic and posterior scrotal V-shaped flaps. A split-thickness skin graft from the thigh was placed over the denuded penis. No complication was encountered and the cosmetic result was satisfactory
