One of the most common methods for surgical treatment of bone metastasis is curettage. Local adjuvants are used to improve the effect of curettage in local cancer surgery and they may exerted their effects either chemically either physically; in orthopaedic oncology the most common are phenol, liquid nitrogen, laser, cement and argon beam coagulation. The purpose of this article is to review th...

Abstract. Seeds or plant organs are usually used as the materials for the long-term cryopreservation. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of seed cryopreservation of Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. as an endemic and endangered species because of genetic erosion.

Gary N.Clarke were contaminated during the cryostorage process, probably from the contaminated liquid nitrogen. Thus, there is no doubt Andrology Department, The Royal Women’s Hospital, Carlton, that a range of microbes, including hepatitis B, can survive Victoria 3053, Australia direct exposure to liquid nitrogen, and under certain conditions result in cross-infection. Given the strength of th...

Cryogenic fluid flows including liquid nitrogen and superfluid helium are a rich environment for novel scientific discovery. Flows can be measured optically and dynamically when faithful tracer particles are dispersed in the liquid. We present a reliable technique for dispersing commercially available fluorescent nanoparticles into cryogenic fluids using ultrasound. Five types of fluorescent na...

BACKGROUND The rate of recurrence of giant cell tumor of bone is decreased by use of adjuvant treatments such as phenol, liquid nitrogen, or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) during curettage. We assessed recurrence and complication rates and functional outcome after curettage with use of phenol and PMMA, liquid nitrogen and PMMA, and liquid nitrogen and bone grafts. METHODS We retrospectively co...

An assay technique, homogeneous enzyme immunoassay, is described for the quantitative determination of morphine derivatives in biological fluids. An enzyme is labeled with morphine. When the enzymelabeled morphine is bound by antimorphine antibodies, the enzyme is rendered inactive. Free morphine competes with enzyme-morphine for antibody binding sites preventing inhibition of enzyme activity. ...

With the goal of creating faster and more efficient methods of generating unique Ac/Ds insertional mutants in a population of Fragaria vesca, various methods of seed germination, kanamycin screening, and the effects of varying nitrogen fertilization on diploid strawberry have been examined. Seed germination was improved to 42% in B5 liquid medium compared to _ on MS solid medium. Kanamycin scre...
