Objective(s): Enzyme immobilization via nanoparticles is perfectly compatible against the other chemical or biological approximate to improve enzyme functions and stability. In this study lactoperoxidase was immobilized onto silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles to improve enzyme properties in the presence of cadmium chloride as an inhibitor. Materials and Methods:  The process consists of the ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa BBRC-10036 was used for lipase production. The organism secreted the enzyme extracellulary. In order to purify the enzyme, precipitation was done first, and then this lipase has been purified by Ion exchange Chromatography leading to 2.3-fold purification and 11.47% recovery. Lipase from P.aeruginosa was entrapped into Ca-alginate gel beads and effect of independent varia...

1. Changes in muscle strength, vastus lateralis fibre characteristics and myosin heavy-chain (MyoHC) gene expression were examined in 48 men and women following 3 weeks of knee immobilization and after 12 weeks of retraining with 1866 eccentric, concentric or mixed contractions. 2. Immobilization reduced eccentric, concentric and isometric strength by 47 %. After 2 weeks of spontaneous recovery...

Forms of accumulation in Europe's wider borderlands proceed through the creation confined subjects. Migrants’ experiences Libya's context fragmented state authority reveal how vulnerable mobilities become a source value violent and forced immobilization. This dynamic is termed ‘accumulation by immobilization’, where involves different situations confinement detention imposed criminal actors, ex...

We report the development and application of a microfluidic random access memory (RAM) that enables fully programmable formulation of an array of 95 nanolitre-scale reactions and subsequent random access to any reaction for addition of reagents or selective extraction of reaction products. This functionality is enabled by a novel droplet docking mechanism that exploits the physics of droplet fl...

STUDY OBJECTIVES We determine the effect of pressure immobilization on mortality and intracompartmental pressure after artificial intramuscular Crotalus atrox envenomation in a porcine model. METHODS We prospectively studied 20 pigs using a randomized, controlled design. After anesthesia, C atrox venom (20 mg/kg) was injected with a 22-gauge needle 10 mm deep into the tibialis anterior muscle...

Robotic systems for computer-assisted surgery involve both tools and techniques that are new to the surgical arena. Registration and immobilization in particular are key problems. Registration is the spatial alignment of the coordinate frames of the robot, an anatomic object (e.g., a bone), and the preoperative plan (a computer model). Immobilization is necessary to maintain that alignment. We ...

To investigate the turnover of type IV collagen in skeletal muscle in conditions where muscle function is impaired, type IV collagen and proteins regulating its degradation were studied during 1, 3 and 7 days of immobilization, 3and 10-day glucocorticoid treatment and in neuromuscular diseases. In addition, fibrillar type I and III collagens were studied during immobilization and in neuromuscul...

BACKGROUND Many researches have investigated the changes associated with immobilization-induced osteoarthritis (OA). However, there are only few studies focusing on the effect of unilateral knee immobilization on cartilage matrix changes in the contralateral mobile knee. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of immobilization on the cartilage matrix in the contralateral ...

A novel technique for protein immobilization onto CrAsH-modified surfaces is presented. This approach enables an efficient, reversible and fluorogenic immobilization of proteins. Moreover, expressed proteins can also be directly immobilized from cellular lysates without prior purification. The immobilized proteins are suitable for protein-protein interaction studies and the fluorescence enhance...
