PURPOSE Massive small bowel resection (SBR) results in an adaptive response within the remnant bowel. We have previously shown an immediate reduction in intestinal blood flow and oxygen saturation (sO2) after SBR. We therefore sought to determine the duration of resection-induced intestinal hypoxia and expression of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) following SBR. METHODS C57B6 mice were subje...

PURPOSE Massive small bowel resection (SBR) results in villus angiogenesis and a critical adaptation response within the remnant bowel. Previous ex vivo studies of intestinal blood flow after SBR are conflicting. We sought to determine the effect of SBR on intestinal hemodynamics using photoacoustic microscopy, a noninvasive, label-free, high-resolution in vivo hybrid imaging modality. METHOD...

To improve the performance of concrete, polymers are mixed with concrete. It has been observed that polymer-modified concrete (PMC) is more durable than conventional concrete due to superior strength and high durability. In this research, effect of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) latex on compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete has been studied and also the optimum polymer (SBR-La...

BACKGROUND The somatosensory evoked blink response (SBR) is a characteristic reflex blink elicited by electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves or other anatomical sites. METHODS 139 patients with neurological disorders were examined for presence of the SBR. Although the SBR was not usually elicitable, it was present in a subset of patients with Parkinson's disease and with hemifacial spasm...

We consider two generalizations of signed Sorting By Reversals (SBR), both aimed at formalizing the problem of reconstructing the evolutionary history of a set of species. In particular, we address Multiple SBR, calling for a signed permutation at minimum reversal distance from a given set of signed permutations, and Tree SBR, calling for a tree with the minimum number of edges spanning a given...

The effects of two types silanes, which were bis (triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide (Te) and octyltriethoxysilane (Oc), on the extrusion properties styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) /silica (Si) composite investigated from viewpoint bound rubber. surface roughness SBR extrudate slightly increased when adding Te, didn't increase Oc. On other hand, for SBR/Si composites was smooth, it hardly change...

Density of catalytic organisms can determine the biodegradation capacity and specific biodegradation rate (SBR). A new index, biodegradation capacity utilization (BCU, %), was developed for estimating the extent of actual biodegradation of a gas compound over the full capacity. Three methanotrophic cultures were serially diluted (1-1/25), and methane SBR and BCU were measured. Consistently, bio...

Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of the breast is currently graded according to the Nottingham modification of the Scarff-Bloom-Richardson system (SBR). This system involves subjective evaluation of 3 morphologic features: tubule formation, nuclear pleomorphism, and mitosis. Our recently proposed semi-automated Nuclear and Proliferation Index [N+P] grading system for IDC has demonstrated agreeme...
