In its interaction between culture, creating harmonization islamic values local cultures values. scholarship this known as living hadist. One example upacara rokat Madurese culture who has experienced Islamization. Origanlly, from pr...

Background: Despite modern antibiotic therapy and technological advances in lithotripsy, the presence of infection in patients with urinary stones, as well as with infectious stones is still a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Recent findings lend more theories as to how infection leads to stone formation. Aim: The bacteriological study of urine and stone samples from patients with ...

Assays for bacterial ribosomal RNA precursors (pre-rRNA) have been shown to distinguish viable from inactivated bacterial cells in drinking water samples. Because the synthesis of pre-rRNA is rapidly induced by nutritional stimulation, viable bacteria can be distinguished from inactivated cells and free nucleic acids by measuring the production of species-specific pre-rRNA in samples that have ...

Oocytes and embryos are typically exposed sequentially to varying culture media in standard in-vitro protocols. Expenditures of energy may be required following each medium change to adjust to the changing environment. Therefore, a single base medium was evaluated for its ability to support in-vitro maturation, fertilization and pre-implantation development (IVM/F/C) of bovine oocytes and embry...

The objective of this study was to optimize the use of testicular biopsies in 14 patients with obstructive azoospermia. Testicular specimens were retrieved from six patients (group I) and cultured at 32 and 37 degrees C for up to 20 days; changes in percentage motile spermatozoa were compared. In four men of group I, one portion of the specimen was frozen at retrieval, and changes in post-thaw ...

BACKGROUND Transplanting pancreatic islets into recipients must be safe and effective to treat Type 1 diabetes. Islet quality and quantity are important, however, the final product must also be free from microbial contamination and low endotoxin levels. METHODS This study explored a method to eliminate contamination in manufacturing islets for transplantation. A simple (single antibiotic, n=1...

BACKGROUND Several high-income countries have pre-entry screening programmes for tuberculosis. We aimed to establish the yield of pre-entry screening programmes to inform evidence-based policy for migrant health screening. METHODS We searched six bibliographic databases for experimental or observational studies and systematic reviews, which reported data on migrant screening for active or lat...

Bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) possesses multiple functions, but its effects on breast cancer cells in adipose microenvironment are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether BMP9 is able to modulate the interaction between pre-adipocytes/adipocytes and breast cancer cells. An in vitro co-culture system was established by using pre-adipocytes/adipocytes and MDA-MB-231 breast ca...

This study was undertaken to examine pre- and postimplantation developmental potency of cryopreserved embryos that had undergone in vitro growth (IVG), maturation (IVM) and fertilization (IVF) of oocytes from the preantral follicle stage. An oocyte culture system for IVG and IVM was used in oocyte-granulosa cell complexes (OGCs) derived from preantral follicles in 12-day-old mice. The rate of o...
