this study was focused on removal of various parameters in paper mill effluent using a method called bioremediation by azolla caroliniana.  the experimental investigations have been carried out using azolla caroliniana for conducting the sorption study with various dilution ratios (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10), ph (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) and biomass (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 g). the maximum removal ...

the aim of present study was to investigate phytoremediation potential of puccinellia distans (jacq) parl using edta and dtpa and method of decreasing cd- chelating leacing risk. the soil samples spiked with cdcl2. the treatments comprised the following dosages 2.5dtpa, 5dtpa, 2.5edta, 5edta, 2.5edta+2.5dtpa, 2.5edta+5dtpa, 5edta+2.5dtpa, 5edta+5dtpa and control pots were not treated with edta ...

The ability to regulate proteolytic functions is critical to cell biology. We describe events that regulate the initiation of the coagulation cascade on endothelial cell surfaces. The transmembrane protease receptor tissue factor (TF) triggers coagulation by forming an enzymatic complex with the serine protease factor VIIa (VIIa) that activates substrate factor X to the protease factor Xa (Xa)....

OBJECTIVE Low density lipoprotein (LDL) internalized in the vascular wall and modified by binding to extracellular matrix-proteoglycans (ECM) becomes aggregated (agLDL). AgLDL induces tissue factor (TF) expression and activity in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). TF expression in vascular cells promotes the prothrombotic transformation of the vascular wall. However, the mechanisms by w...

Binding of plasma Factor VII/VIIa to the tissue factor (TF) receptor initiates the coagulation protease cascades. TF expression by circulating monocytes is associated with thrombotic and inflammatory complications in a variety of diseases. Transcriptional activation of the human TF gene in monocytic cells exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is mediated by binding of c-Rel/p65 heterodi...

brassica chinensis l. is a popular vegetable, especially in asian dishes. for plant growing withinorganic fertilizer, cadmium (cd) has been one of the highest metal and health-risk factors included. thisresearch aimed to assess the bioaccumulation of cd by the plant and its genetic changes. the plant was grownin the soil supplemented by cd at 0, 15, 30, 60 and 120 mg/kg. the accumulations in th...

one of the most important methods to investigate heavy metals as pollutants is more likely to use bio-monitors which can be applied as an appropriate index to express the quality of environment. in current study, in order to investigate the effects of dominant plants in the desired region and role of aquatic macrophytes in monitoring such elements as zinc (zn), lead (pb), copper (cu) and cadmiu...

Blood cell progenitors were scanned for the presence of the coagulation starter protein tissue factor (TF) by immunoelectron microscopy. Thereby, substantial TF expression was observed in the precursor cells of eosinophils. TF levels were lower in basophil precursors and barely detectable in neutrophil progenitors. In peripheral blood immediately processed to avoid activation of the TF gene, ma...
