The FAIRS experiment took place aboard R/P FLIP from 15 September to 15 October 2000 approximately 120 nautical miles off Monterey, California. Our approach was to use both the passive and the active infrared techniques to determine the extent to which our laboratory findings are relevant to the field. Over the past several years, we have used these techniques to investigate wave breaking on sp...

Objective: To validate the ethno-therapeutic claim of the traditionally used plant Jasminum auriculatum (J. auriculatum) in skin diseases, by evaluating its wound healing potential along with its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; so as to understand their role in wound healing. Materials and Methods: Excision and incision wound models were used to evaluate the wound healing activity on ...

the study was consequently investigated effect of different tanning methods on apparent density, thickness, tensile strength and also extension percentage in three different tanning (chromic, alum and vegetable) of grown part of ostrich skins (n = 15; 12 to 14 months). average apparent density and thickness of leathers were 0.7 ± 0.0gr/cm2 and 1.7 ± 0.1 mm, respectively. the breaking load, tens...

Using incision, excision and dead space wound models in rats, a study was conducted on the effect of histamine on wound healing. Exogenous histamine given either ip or locally was without any effect. Semicarbazide as (histamine synthesis inhibitor) suppressed healing process (breaking strength of skin incision wound), decreased breaking strength and hydroxyproline content of granulation tissue ...

Aqueous extract of leaves of M. oleifera was investigated and rationalised for its wound healing activity. The aqueous extract was studied at dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight using resutured incision; excision and dead space wound models in rats. Significant increase in wound closure rate, skin-breaking strength, granuloma breaking strength, hydroxyproline content, granuloma dry weight and d...

ReGeneraTing Agents (RGTAs), a family of polymers engineered to protect and stabilize heparin-binding growth factors, have been shown to promote tissue repair and regeneration. In this study, the effects of one of these polymers, RGTA OTR4120, on healing of full-thickness excisional wounds in rats were investigated. Two 1.5 cm diameter circular full-thickness excisional wounds were created on t...

Esophagogastric anastomotic leaks complicate 5% to 20% of esophagectomies for esophageal cancer. Keratinocyte growth factor-2 (KGF-2) is a newly identified growth factor that accelerates skin incisional healing. An animal experiment was done to test the hypothesis that KGF-2 would enhance esophagogastric anastomotic wound healing. Forty rats had single-layer esophagogastric anastomoses construc...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the wound-healing properties of crude bark extract of Jatropha curcas Linn in Wistar albino rats. METHODS This work was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India, in the year 2005. We divided the animals into 3 groups of 12 each. Group I was saline control without wound, grou...

Impaired wound healing is a well-documented phenomenon in experimental and clinical diabetes. Experimental evidence suggests that a defect in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) regulation might be associated with wound-healing disorders. We studied the involvement of lipid peroxidation in the pathogenesis of altered VEGF expression in diabetes-related healing deficit by using an incision...

introduction breeding quail and quail egg industrial production because of the high nutritional value of these products has been developing these years. considering the high demand and economical production, further development in the future is predicted. in order to design and effective utilization of the equipment for transportation, separation, packaging and storage, the physical and mechani...
