Bovine keratoconjunctivitis (BKC), colloquially referred to as 'pinkeye', is a disease affecting cattle worldwide; it costs cattle producers millions of dollars in economic loss annually. While Moraxella spp. are the primary etiologic agent of pinkeye, surveys of flora from the conjunctivae of livestock from around the world have indicated that a variety of bacterial commensals occupy this nich...

BACKGROUND Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been produced in both mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and XS-106 DCs by contact sensitizers and irritants in previous studies, the generation of ROS in human monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) and their role in contact hypersensitivity (CHS) has yet to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether c...

Preservation of myocardial high-energy phosphates correlates with the heart's ability to resume normal function following aortic crossclamping (AXC). The ability of the canine myocardium to synthesize and maintain ATP during 180 minutes of AXC was evaluated in 12 hearts subjected to either blood or crystalloid cardioplegic arrest. Group 1 hearts were arrested by infusion of 750 ml of blood pota...

Pathogenic bacteria and other microorganisms pose a potent threat to humans by causing various infectious diseases. To control the spread of infection, different antibacterial products have been developed. However, most them are known be associated with health hazards, environmental pollution, complex fabrication, and/or higher cost. address these issues, in this study, low cost, biodegradable ...
