OBJECTIVES This study dealt with the wet agglomeration process in which a small quantity of binder liquid was added into a suspension of crystals, directly in the stirring vessel where the crystallization took place. The purpose of this investigation was evaluation of the effect of temperature on the agglomeration process in order to gain insight into the mechanism of the formation of the agglo...

OBJECTIVE Free fragments of synovium have occasionally been seen in synovial fluid but have not been studied systematically. We wished to establish a method for the reliable detection of these fragments in joint and bursa effusions and begin to characterize them by histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. METHODS Cell smears, wet drop preparations and cytospins were prepared from 39 con...

OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of prolonged application time on the early and 3-year resin-dentin microtensile bond strength. METHODS Water/ethanol (Single Bond [SB]) and acetone-based systems (One Step [OS]) were employed. A flat superficial dentin surface was exposed in third human molars by wet abrasion. The adhesives were applied to a delimited area of 52 mm2 on wet surfaces, for 40, 90...

Macroalgae are one of potential sources for carotenoids, such as fucoxanthin, which are consumed by humans and animals. This carotenoid has been applied in both the pharmaceutical and food industries. In this study, extraction of fucoxanthin from wet brown seaweed Undaria pinnatifida (water content was 93.2%) was carried out with a simple method using liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) as an extrac...

Distillers grains with solubles (DGS) is the major coproduct of ethanol production, usually made from corn, which is fed to dairy cattle. It is a good protein (crude protein, CP) source (>30% CP) high in ruminally undegradable protein (approximately 55% of CP) and is a good energy source (net energy for lactation of approximately 2.25 Mcal/kg of dry matter). The intermediate fat concentration (...

Zhou, Hui-Zhong, Joel S. Karliner, and Mary O. Gray. Moderate alcohol consumption induces sustained cardiac protection by activating PKCand Akt. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 283: H165–H174, 2002. First published February 28, 2002; 10.1152/ajpheart.00408.2001.—C57BL/6 mice were fed 18% ethanol (vol/vol) in drinking water for 12 wk. Isovolumic hearts were subjected to 20 min of ischemia and 30...

BACKGROUND The paste of stem bark of Azadirachta indica (AI) has been traditionally used on wound and scar for rapid healing in Bundelkhand region of India. OBJECTIVE In the present investigation, wound healing potential of different extracts of stem bark of AI was explored in mice model. MATERIALS AND METHODS To study the wound healing properties in small animal model, the excision and inc...

and Implications A large pen study was conducted with a commercial feedlot to investigate the influence of corn particle size on performance of steers fed diets containing 35% (DM basis) wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS). Feedlot cattle in the Midwest are often fed distillers grains from ethanol production that are low in starch. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate a practic...

Asphalt pavements undergo long-term aging due to oxidation of the asphalt binder. As a pavement oxidizes, it stiffens and eventually cracks. The use of an antioxidant in an asphalt binder could retard aging, thus increasing the pavement’s service life. Lignin is a known antioxidant and is highly available from timber and many agricultural products. A wet-mill ethanol process produces several co...

The aim of this study was to prepare Spherical agglomerates of Carbamazepine by Quesi-Emulsion Solvent Diffusion system (QESDS) with Ethanol-Chloroform-Water system. Granules were prepared by wet granulation method with different excipients.The prepared agglomerates were evaluated for flowability, compressibility, wettability, packability and solubility. Tablets were prepared and evaluated for ...
