BACKGROUND Supervised injection services (SIS) have been shown to reduce the public- and individual-level harms associated with injection drug use. While SIS feasibility research has been conducted in large urban centres, little is known about the acceptability of these services among people who inject drugs (PWID) in mid-sized cities. We assessed the prevalence and correlates of willingness to...

BACKGROUND Sharps injuries (SIs) are one of the most serious occupational accidents among nurses due to the possible severe consequences, such as the transmission of infectious diseases and inducing of mental impairment. OBJECTIVE To discover the prevalence of SIs among nurses in a regional hospital in Thailand and to identify factors associated with SIs. METHODS A cross-sectional study was...

Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is a biodegradable collagen-rich matrix containing functional growth factors. We have previously reported encouraging outcomes for regeneration of an artificial defect in the rodent stomach using SIS grafts, although the muscular layer was diminutive. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of SIS in conjunction with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for rege...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Some postoperative complications after anterior cervical fusions have been attributed to anterior cervical plate (ACP) profiles and the necessary wide operative exposure for their insertion. Consequently, low-profile stand-alone interbody spacers with integrated screws (SIS) have been developed. Although SIS constructs have demonstrated similar biomechanical stability to the ...

The expression of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was studied in seven patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. By means of nuclear run on transcription assay, the transcriptional level of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was investigated. Expression of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was enhanced. Enhancement of c-sis tra...

OBJECTIVE In order to develop a novel nerve guidance channel using porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) for nerve regeneration, we investigated the possibility of SIS, a tissue consisting of acellular collagen material without cellular immunogenicity, and containing many kinds of growth factors, as a natural material with a new bioactive functionality. METHODS Left sciatic nerves were cut...

conclusions the streptomyces sp. suk 25 culturing was optimized using thronton media, at ph 7 and aeration of 140 rpm. further isolation and identification of bioactive compounds will develop anti-mrsa therapeutics. materials and methods disc diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) assay were used to determine the antibacterial activity of streptomyces sp. isolates. optimization of...

production of oxytetracycline by an isolated strain of streptomyces rimosus from iranian soil was investigated using a special fermentation medium. a comparative study was performed with standard strain ptcc 1144 using the following parameters optimum growth conditions with respect to time, ph, and different amounts of corn steep liquor. surprisingly, the production yield of the wild strain was...

The c-sis gene expression in leukemia cells from a patient with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia and Down's syndrome was studied. The leukemia blasts were identified as megakaryoblasts by the platelet peroxidase reaction and the reactivity against antiplatelet monoclonal antibodies. Leukemia cells obtained from peripheral blood or bone marrow specimens before and after initiation of chemotherapy...
