Aromatic polyimides constitute a group of special polymers with excellent thermal and mechanical properties. However, they are insoluble infusible due to strong intermolecular interactions. For this reason, approaches sought that would lead an improvement these properties open the possibility extend use polyimides. The interest protect environment leads also searching for alternative, namely, r...

Introduction: The healing process after surgery is a challenging issue for surgeons. Various materials and techniques have been developed to facilitate this process and reduce its period. Fibrin adhesives are often used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery to seal diffuse microvascular bleeding and in general and plastic surgery to seal wound borders. This Case report and literature review ...

Immunochemical and functional characteristics of tumor cell membrane proteins and human platelet glycoproteins were studied. Immunoblotting revealed that membrane proteins of a cultured breast tumor cell line (BT-20) had three protein bands, which were each recognized by monoclonal antibodies to human platelet glycoprotein Ib, IIb, and IIIa, suggesting some immunochemical similarities between t...

Actin and myosin are associated with the platelet surface membrane and may be involved in platelet shape change and clot retraction. Previously we demonstrated that the adenine nucleotide affinity label 5’p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine (5’FSOzBzAdo) can be incorporated into 200,000, 135,000, 100,000, and 43,000 molecular weight polypeptides in isolated platelet membranes but into only the ...
