This study investigated the effects of lubricin on the gliding of repaired flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendons in vitro. Canine FDP tendons were completely lacerated, repaired with a modified Pennington technique, and treated with one of the following solutions: saline, carbodiimide derivatized gelatin/hyaluronic acid (cd-HA-gelatin), carbodiimide derivatized gelatin to which lubricin was ...

Biodegradable films with antioxidant properties have been studied in recent years. Curcumin is a polyphenol chemical obtained from turmeric extraction (Curcuma longa L.) with a range of biological activities. The objective this work was to determine diffusion coefficient of curcumin in the edible films based gelatin and yam-starch matrixes. The diffusion coefficient was determinate by Fluoresce...

Abstract The food packaging sector is focused on developing innovative materials to enhance safety and quality while reducing environmental impact. Accordingly, this study aimed develop based bovine gelatin (G) blended with crude sweet orange juice pomace pectin (SOPP) at different ratios (G/SOPP = 85/15, 65/35, 50/50, w/w). obtained SOPP was highly methylated exhibited antioxidant antibacteria...

PurposeA phantom is presented in this study that allows for an experimental evaluation of QSM reconstruction algorithms. The contains susceptibility producing particles with dia- and paramagnetic properties embedded MRI visible medium suitable to assess the performance algorithms attempt separate isotropic at sub-voxel level.MethodsThe was built from calcium carbonate (diamagnetic) tungsten car...

Normal mouse spleen cells were fractionated in dishes coated with thin layers of DNP-gelatin or NIP-gelatin, which were insoluble at 4 degrees C. Highly viable cells were recovered from the dishes by melting the gel at 37 degrees C. NIP3- gelatin layers bound approximately 0.1% and DNP4-gelatin layers 0.5% of normal spleen cells. Increasing numbers of low affinity cells were bound with increasi...

BACKGROUND We have observed patients clinically allergic to red meat and meat-derived gelatin. OBJECTIVE We describe a prospective evaluation of the clinical significance of gelatin sensitization, the predictive value of a positive test result, and an examination of the relationship between allergic reactions to red meat and sensitization to gelatin and galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal). ME...

In proton density-weighted (PDW) MR imaging, the patterns of signal intensity vary depending on the imaged material, and change with the flip angle (FA) applied to the imaged material. The correlation between the pre-determined FA and the actual FA applied to imaged objects was investigated using 4 types of phantoms having different dielectric properties. PDW images were acquired using the spin...

The hypothesis of this study was that tea inhibits iron absorption in animals unaccustomed to tea onsumption but not in animals habituated to high intakes of tea. Three diets were prepared: 1) annin-free diet; 2) 5% tea solids (tea) diet; and 3) 5% tea solids 6% gelatin (T/G). Gelatin was hosen as a proxy for salivary proline–rich proteins (PRP). Five groups of rats were assigned to the ollowin...
