The purpose of this research was to develop a tissue-engineered intrasynovial flexor tendon construct with the use of an acellularized flexor tendon scaffold repopulated with intrasynovial tendon cells. New Zealand white rabbit intrasynovial flexor tendons were acellularized by the following methods: high concentration NaCl + SDS, Trypsin/EDTA, Trypsin/EDTA + Triton X-100, Triton X-100, Triton ...

Background: malignant triton tumor is a very rare malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation. In the present paper, we report aprimary malignant triton tumor in the heart of a 34-year-old woman who underwent resection of the left atrial tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of primary malignant triton tumor of the heart repor...

The action of detergents in the isolation of detergent-resistant membrane fractions from rat brain is reported. Triton X-100 treatment of whole rat brain homogenate at 4 degrees C produced detergent-resistant membranes with a density of 1.07g/ml compared with Brij96 where the density of the membrane was only 1.05g/ml. The DRM fractions isolated using Triton X-100 are considerably heavier than t...

The hypolipidemic activity of Lepidium sativum (family: Brassicaceae) seed sapogenin and flavonoid extract (LSTS and LSTF) was studied against Triton x-100 and high cholesterol diet (HCD) induced hyperlipidemia on rats. The parameters assessed were serum total protein, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LD...

1. The detergent Triton X-100 activates UDP glucuronyltransferase from rat liver in vitro six- to seven-fold with p-nitrophenol as substrate. The enzyme activity when measured in the presence of Triton X-100 is increased significantly by pretreatment of male rats with phenobarbital for 4 days (90mg/kg each day intraperitoneally). If no Triton X-100 is applied in vitro such an increase could not...

Chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) is a flavonoid, natural component of traditional medicinal herbs, present in honey, propolis and many plant extracts. The objective of this study was to investigate the hypolipidemic properties of chrysin on Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemia in female C57BL/6 mice. Triton WR-1339 was administered intraperitoneally (400 mg/kg) to overnight-fasted mice to develo...

We present simulations of Triton’s post-capture orbit that confirm the importance of Kozai-type oscillations in its orbital elements. In the context of the tidal orbital evolution model, these variations require average pericenter distances much higher than previously published, and the timescale for the tidal orbital evolution of Triton becomes longer than the age of the Solar System. Recently...
