Serious damage in lymphoid tissues was seen on post-mortem examination of CF1 Swiss and C57BL mice subjected to intraperitoneal injection of 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) between 12 hours and 9 days after birth. In life such mice exhibited an acute or chronic wasting syndrome clinically and histologically similar to runting syndromes occurring after immunological procedures, but presumably differen...

Autologous chondrocyte implantation for cartilage repair represents a challenge because strongly limited by chondrocytes' poor expansion capacity in vitro. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into chondrocytes, while mechanical loading has been proposed as alternative strategy to induce chondrogenesis excluding the use of exogenous factors. Moreover, MSC supporting material selectio...

BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that male circumcision (MC) prevents heterosexual acquisition of HIV by males in sub-Saharan Africa, the region of the world heavily affected by the HIV pandemic. While there is growing support for wide-spread availability and accessibility of MC in Africa, there is limited discussion about the prevalence of physical complications of male circumcision on the...

In lifting tasks involving manual material handling the coupling component relates to the quality of the hand-toobject interface (grip). Good coupling is theorized to reduce lifting and grip stress, whereas poor coupling is theorized to increase lifting and grip stress. Choosing to lift with one hand is a decision often made by the worker. Understanding the metabolic demand of one-handed liftin...

A semi-empirical equation of state was developed for square-well chain fluids on the basis of Monte Carlo (MC) simulation data. The equation was formed by combining terms describing non-bonded square-well segments, hard-sphere chain formation, and a perturbation term describing the square-well contribution to chain formation. The functional dependence on the chain length is the same as that der...
