Determination of streptokinase activity is usually accomplished through two assay methods: a) Clot lysis, b) Chromogenic substrate assay. In this study the biological activity of two streptokinase products, namely Streptase®, which is a native product and Heberkinasa®, which is a recombinant product, was determined against the third international reference standard using the two forementioned a...

the study was carried out at agarfa atvet college dairy farm to evaluate the reproductive performance of holstein friesian× arsi and holstein friesian ×boran cattle. for the study, records compiled from 1983 to 2012 at the agarfa dairy farm were used as original data. the effects of breed, bloodlines, season and parity on the reproductive traits were evaluated. data were analyzed using the gene...

The delta opioid receptor modulates nociceptive and emotional behaviors. This receptor has been shown to exhibit measurable spontaneous activity. Progress in understanding the biological relevance of this activity has been slow, partly due to limited characterization of compounds with intrinsic negative activity. Here, we have used constitutively active mutant (CAM) delta receptors in two diffe...

The objective of this study was to investigate if a reduced milking frequency altered the effect of dietary energy restriction on the hepatic transcriptome of grazing dairy cows during early lactation. Multiparous Holstein-Friesian and Holstein-Friesian × Jersey cows (n = 120) were milked twice daily (2×) from calving until 34 ± 6 days in milk (mean ± SD). Cows were then allocated to one of fou...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE SWI is a unique pulse sequence sensitive to both hemorrhage and calcification. Our aim was to retrospectively assess the ability of SWI to detect intratumoral calcification in ODs compared with conventional MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using CT as criterion standard, the MR imaging findings from 71 patients (33 males, 38 females; mean age, 42.5 years) with patholog...

N-(7-chloro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-3-yl)thiophene-2 carboxamide-[14C-carboxy] was prepared as part of a 6-step sequence from thiophene-2-carbonitrile -[cyano-14C] as a keysynthetic intermediate which has been synthesized from 2-iodothiophene and zinc [14C]-cyanide in thepresence of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium.
