An attempt was made to substantiate a modori (thermal gel degradation) inducing effect of a latent serine proteinase. The proteinase was purified homogeneously from the sarcoplasmic fraction of threadfin bream muscle using a combination of DEAF-cellulose, Con A-Sepharose, ArgSepharose, Shim-pack HAC, and TSK-gel G3000SWXL column chromatographies. Its molecular weight was estimated as 77,000 by ...

Background: Curettage is an act of scraping the granulation tissue on lateral gingival wall periodontal pocket. After curettage, a pack was applied to control bleeding and keep wound area clean. The addition iodine leaves as alternative because it contains flavonoids that can help healing process. This study aims determine effect adding 10% leaf extract gel curettage process.Method: A true expe...

Large areas in the Spanish Pyrenees are covered by snow between December and April, especially above 1650m a.s.l., the location of the cold season 08C isotherm. However, a significant negative trend in Pyrenean snow pack was detected during the second half of the 20th century. This paper analyses the interannual evolution of snow accumulation in these mountains in relation to the variability of...

Flowing gel plugging and low-frequency vibration oil extraction technology have been widely applied in low-permeability formation. High probability of overlapping in action spheres of two technologies might lead to poor operating efficiency during gel injection. Study on flowing gel rheological properties under low-frequency vibration was essential, which was carried out indoor with viscosity m...

introduction: nausea and vomiting after ear, nose and throat (ent) surgery is one of the most common and notable problems facing anesthesiologists in this area. this study was conducted to determine the effect of a pharyngeal pack on the severity of nausea, vomiting, and sore throat among patients after ear, pharynx, and throat surgeries.   materials and methods: this randomized clinical study ...

A major Canada-wide outbreak of gastroenteritis due to Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis phage type (PT) 8 occurred in 1998, and this was traced to contaminated cheese in a commercial lunch pack product. Phage typing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis linked the clinical and cheese isolates of serotype Enteritidis but failed to differentiate outbreak from nonoutbreak PT 8 strains. Furt...

The self-assembly of the perchlorinated hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (PCHBC) molecules on Au(111) has been studied by a low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) combining with density functional theory based first principle calculations. Highly ordered supramolecular networks with single domains limited by the terraces are formed on Au(111) substrate. High resolution images of the PCH...

The structure of spherical clusters composed of Yukawa particles is analyzed by molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical approaches as a model for dust particles in dusty plasmas in the isotropic environment. The latter condition is expected to be realized under microgravity or by active cancellation of the effect of gravity on the ground. It is found that, at low temperatures, Yukawa par...

background: chest tube removal is a painful procedure. the goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of cold application incombination with indomethacin suppository on chest tube removal pain in patients undergoing open heart surgery. materials and methods: this single-blind, double-group clinical trial was performed on 66 patients aged 18-68 years with thechest tube in pleural space. the i...
