background: toxoplasmosis is considered as one of the most common infectious diseases caused by the protozoan parasite toxoplasma gondii . tachyzoite is the main form of toxoplasma and continuously is maintained in cell culture or injected into the mice peritoneal cavity. this study was designed to evaluate the survival rate of rh strain of t. gondii tachyzoites in different cell free, nutrient...

We show that the cloud point temperature ( T CP ) of thermoresponsive polyacrylamides is considerably lower in physiologically relevant solvents (phosphate-buffered saline, serum) than pure water. This decrease may be critical for some biomedical applications.

Background and Objective: In recent years, due to increasing number of patients with non-healing skin ulcers, skin substitutes have been used. Skin substitutes contain living cells causing faster and more effective wound healing. Therefore, research on the use of autologous and allogeneic cells such as fibroblasts in skin substitutes has attracted attentions. However, there are...

This work highlights the issue of interference by growth media when measuring bacterial H2O2 production. was shown to be stable in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) but not media. The protocol used for evaluating intrinsic capacity oral streptococci produce reliable.

We explored the effects of chronic lumbar intrathecal NMDA infusion (mini-osmotic pumps) in Sprague-Dawley rats on motor and sensory axon integrity. Several different infusion protocols, each given over a 4 week period were examined: 0.15 M NMDA in phosphate buffered saline; phosphate buffered saline without NMDA; and 0.20 M magnesium sulfate plus 0.15 M NMDA; 0.35 M NMDA. In two additional pro...

objective: to assess the effect of combination of pulsed electromagnetic fields (pemf) with predatory stress on transected sciatic nerve regeneration in rats.  methods: in sham- operated group (sog) the nerve was manipulated and left intact. the 10-mm rat sciatic nerve gap was created in rats. in transected group (transected) nerve stumps were sutured to adjacent muscle and in vein graft group ...
