Upregulation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-3 in the Spinal C…
We investigated the spatiotemporal expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor–3 (VEGFR-3) in the spinal cord of Lewis rats with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for multiple sclerosis. VEGFR-3 mRNA and protein were constitutively expressed in gray matter neurons and in a few white matter astrocytes. Induction of VEGFR-3 occurred predominantly …

The present study aimed to evaluate the expression of neuro-oncological ventral antigen 1 (Nova1) in cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) insults by immunohistochemistry. The focal cerebral I/R model was induced by right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 120 min followed by 1 day, 7 days, and 14 days of reperfusion in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The results showed that Nova1 was expr…

Short-term Hypoxia Transiently Increases Dopamine β-Hydroxylase Immunoreacti…
Under long-term hypoxia, noradrenaline (NA) content in the carotid body (CB) increases, suggesting that NA plays an important role in CB chemotransduction. However, it is unknown whether short-term hypoxia upregulates NA biosynthesis in CB. Therefore, we examined dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) expression in the CB of rats exposed to hypoxia (10% O2) for 0 to 24 hr with immunoblotting and immu…

Phloroglucinol (PG) is a phenolic compound isolated from Ecklonia cava, a brown algae abundant on Jeju island, Korea. Previous reports have suggested that PG exerts antioxidative and cytoprotective effects against oxidative stress. In this study, we confirmed that PG protected against small intestinal damage caused by ionizing radiation, and we investigated its protective mechanism in detail…

The ability to visualize myelin is important in the diagnosis of demyelinating disorders and the detection of myelin-containing nerves during surgery. The development of myelin-selective imaging agents requires that a defined target for these agents be identified and that a robust assay against the target be developed to allow for assessment of structure-activity relationships. We describe an i…

Prior Experience with Photostimulation Enhances Photo-Induced Reproductive Re…
In vertebrates, reproductive output often increases with age. Unlike older birds, first-year photoperiodic birds lack experience with the reproductively stimulatory effects of long day lengths (photostimulation). We examined whether age-related differences in annual reproductive development could be partially attributed to previous experience with photostimulation in the photoperiodic house fin…

Short-term storage of embryos at low temperature induces developmental arrest of the embryo and would appear to be a valuable aid in embryo-transfer techniques to avoid wasting embryos. Embryo storage at 48C was examined to allow synchronization with embryo-transfer recipients using the microinjection technique.

Faecal calprotectin (f-Cp), a marker of intestinal inflammation, can be used to distinguish between functional and organic bowel disease. F-Cp, following extraction, is commonly quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) but there are no data comparing the different f-Cp assays or sample extraction devices. We, therefore, evaluated and compared the performance of the Immunod…

Interference of ethylene glycol with L-lactate measurement is assay-dependent
Background: Metabolites of ethylene glycol (EG) can cross-react in L-lactate assays, leading to falsely elevated serum lactate levels in case of EG intoxication. In this study, we evaluated the effects of EG and its metabolites on routinely used lactate measuring methods. Methods: Serum aliquots were spiked with either L-lactate, EG or one of its metabolites (all 12.5 mmol/L): glyoxal, glycolat…

Background: There is a negative glucose gradient between the capillary and venous systems, produced by glucose uptake into peripheral tissues. This gradient is augmented by oral glucose ingestion in healthy volunteers; thus prandial status may impact on capillary glucose meter performance. Our primary aim was to investigate whether the (capillary–venous plasma) glucose difference changed in r…

Commonly used methods for assay of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are susceptible to interference from the presence of haemoglobin variants. In many systems, the common variants can be identified but scientists and pathologists must remain vigilant for more subtle variants that may result in spuriously high or low HbA1c values. It is clearly important to recognize these events whether HbA1c is being u…

A characteristic feature of plants is their capacity to synthesize and store a wide variety of low molecular weight compounds, the so-called secondary metabolites (SMs) or natural products.

Preparation of short carbon fiber/polypropylene fine-celled foams in supercri…
This article reports an attempt to improve polypropylene fine-celled foaming with the incorporation of short carbon fibers. The carbon fibers with uniform dispersion in polypropylene matrix were obtained in reference to the way of papermaking. The composites were prepared via melt compounding in a twin-screw extruder followed by injection molding. Three concentrations of carbon fibers, 5, 15 an…

Preparation of porous polyimide films by selective decomposition of poly(meth…
A series of porous polyimide (PI) films were prepared by decomposing PI/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-blended films at appropriate high temperature for a certain period of time in air. The pore-forming agent, PMMA, was blended with poly(amic acid) (PAA) by in situ blending method. As a thermally labile polymer, PMMA was decomposed first to generate substances with low molecular weight, leavi…

Preparation of poly(vinyl chloride)/copper nanocomposite films with reduced b…
Films of poly(vinyl chloride)/copper (Cu) nanocomposites exhibiting reduced bacterial adhesion were prepared by film-casting method. Cu nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized using polyol method and stabilized with poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) at different Cu/PVP molar ratio were previously characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet–visib…

Preparation and thermal properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybuty…
In this study, the nanocomposites based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3,4)HB) and three kinds of aluminum-containing layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were prepared via melting intercalation. The thermal stability,thermal combustion and thermomechanical properties for these systems were systematically investigated. Both x-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microsco…
