The effect of different surface preparation methods such as mechanical, chemical and electrochemical surface preparation on the formation, stability and deterioration of surface films formed on austenitic 304 stainless steel was investigated in Tyrode’s physiological solution by cyclic polarization curves, AC impedance measurements surface techniques. A hysteresis loop in a cyclic polarization ...

Factors affecting the circulation of haemopoietic stem cells (CFU) in the peripheral blood of mice were investigated. I.v. injection of sublethal doses of endotoxin, trypsin and proteinase appeared to raise the number of CFU per ml blood from about 30-40 to about 300-400 or more within 10 min. The effect was smaller when smaller doses of the substances were injected. After this initial rise the...

background and aims: the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of carvacrol were reported. the aim of the current study was an investigation the relaxant effects of carvacrol on acetylcholine-induced contraction in isolated rat's ileum. materials and methods: in this study, the tissues separated from ileum were fixed on the organ bath containing tyrode's solution. the amplitude of...

Extracts of homologous adult tissues detemine an increase in the mass of pure cultures of chicken fibroblasts nourished thereon comparable to that resulting from embryonic tissue juice. But the effect of these extracts differs markedly from that of the latter, since cell multiplication does not continue indefinitely. After a few passages, the fibroblasts cultivated in adult tissue extracts grew...

We investigated vascular reactivity in isolated, Tyrode perfused kidneys from male (blood pressure, 222.6 mm Hg) and female (blood pressure, 178.5 mm Hg) spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, 4-6 months age) and sex and weight matched normotensive Kyoto Wistar and Wistar control rats. Optimal perfusion flows and basal pressures were similar in sex-matched SHR and control rats. Subraaximal const...
