1. Lipoprotein lipase activity was measured in heart homogenates and in heparin-releasable and non-releasable fractions of isolated perfused rat hearts, after the intravenous injection of Triton WR-1339. 2. In homogenates of hearts from starved, rats, lipoprotein lipase activity was significantly inhibited (P less than 0.001) 2h after the injection of Triton. This inhibition was restricted excl...

in preparation 96 4 Abstract Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) functions in many neuronal processes and has recently been implicated in homeostatic plasticity. Cdk5 activation results in reallocation of synaptic strength, including weakening of some connections while strengthening others. The molecular mechanisms underlying these phenomena are thus far not understood. We show that Cdk5 phosphory...

conclusions in the determination via 3d cranial tomography the presence of the parietal bones is important because, in case of agenesis the tension band does not benefit and on the contrary it creates extra stress on cerebral tissue. case report we presented a case with metopic and sagitta suture cranioschisis mimicking bilateral parietal bone agenesis (university of izmir of medicine, turkey, ...

We demonstrate the synthesis and immobilization of natural product hybrids featuring an acyl-homoserine lactone and a nitrodopamine onto biocompatible TiO(2) surfaces through an operationally simple dip-and-rinse procedure. The resulting immobilized hybrids were shown to be powerful quorum sensing (QS) activators in Pseudomonas strains acting by slow release from the surface.

Background : Although meniscal repair techniques have developed for several decades, meniscal repair of radial tears still remains challenging issue. For successful meniscal healing of radial tears, primary mechanical stability of meniscal repair is one of the essential requirements. All-inside vertical suture and Cross-suture techniques have been reported to provide superior stability compared...

PURPOSE To compare the tensile properties of 4-strand modified Kessler flexor tendon repairs using a looped or single-stranded suture. METHODS We evaluated the mechanical properties of 4-strand Kessler zone II core suture repairs using either looped or single-stranded suture in human flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus tendons. Forty repairs were performed on tendons from bi...

Surgical reattachment of medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) with transtibial sutures can delay the presenceof medial knee joint compartment osteoarthritis. Most suture configurations are placed five mm away from the tornmargin in the meniscal substance which is already degenerated and may decrease the pull out strengths of repairconstruct. The number of meniscus penet...

This study was carried out in order to compare the oral mucosal reactions to silk and poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) suture materials in albino rabbit. Twenty-one mature male albino rabbits were selected and under general and local anesthesia suture materials were placed randomly at right and left side of vestibular area of maxillary jaw. The animals were divided into three equal groups based ...
