Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater Using Water Hyacinth, Water Lettuce And Parrot’s FeatherA. M. Snow, A. E. GhalyWater hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot’s feather plants were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater at two retention times. During the experiment, the aquatic plants grew rapidly and appeared healthy with green color. At hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6 and 12 days, the average water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot’s feather yields were 83, 51 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Interventions in AgingSuresh I.S. RattanSingle or multiple exposure to low doses of potentially harmful agents can have a variety of anti-aging and longevity-extending hormetic effects. These hormetic stressors include irradiation, physical activity, food limitation, heat, hypergravity, dietary components and reactive oxygen species. Molecular mechanisms facilitating the hormetic effects are being elucidated and comprise a cascade of stress response and maintenance and repair pathways. Although … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Hydroponically Grown Macrophytes for Their Suitability as Fish FeedA. M. Snow, Abdel E. GhalyWater hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather plants were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater at two retention times. During the experiment, the aquatic plants grew rapidly in the hydroponics system and appeared healthy with green color. At hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6 and 12 days, the average water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCellular and Some Biochemical Changes in Blood and Peritoneal Fluid Constituents in Awassi Lambs Following Elective CastrationMohammad B.F. AL-Zghoul, Raida K. AL-Rukibat, Abdelsalam Q. Talafha et al.No reports could be cited in the recent literature concerning the effects of surgical castration on blood and peritoneal fluid constituents in lambs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of surgical castration on cellular and some biochemical parameters of blood and peritoneal fluid in Awassi lambs. Eight, clinically healthy, 5-month-old, Awassi lambs were surgically castrated. Peritoneal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,244 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTactile Distinction of an Artery and a Tumor in a Soft Tissue by Finite Element MethodAli Abouei Mehrizi, Siamak Najarian, Majid Moini, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheTactile detection of a tumor and an artery in a tissue and distinction of a healthy artery from a stenotic artery, using finite element method, are presented. Four 2D models of tissue have been created: tissue itself, tissue including a tumor (TIT), tissue including a healthy artery (TIHA), and tissue including a stenotic artery (TISA). After solving four models with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,598 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Bacterial Strains Isolated Through Microbial Profiling of Urine SamplesPoulomi Nandy, A. R. Thakur, S. Ray ChaudhuriThe present study was conducted to determine the microbial profile in urine samples. Differential and selective chromogenic culture media were used for the rapid detection, identification and enumeration of urinary tract pathogens namely, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis. Urine samples of normal healthy individuals as well as patients with Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) on Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in Animal ModelsEric Peys, Jerry Varghese, Ponusami Suresh et al.The administration of probiotic bacteria is emerging as a potential means of preventing the onset or recurrence of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) and of attenuating inflammatory activity and preventing relapses in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We evaluated the efficacy of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) in a hamster model of antibiotic-induced CDAD and in a rat model … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Oxidation Protein Products in Aged with DementiaMelike Erol Demirbilek, Nedret Kilic, H. Ferhan Komurcu, K. Okhan AkinThe role of increased oxidative stress in the development of oxidative protein damage in aging have been reported. There is an important role of oxidative stress on development of dementia. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are novel markers of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to compare AOPP levels in healthy aged person and aged person with dementia. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibition of Cholesterol Esterification Influences Cytokine Exspression in Lypopolisaccharide-activated P388D1 MacrophagesRosa Rita Bonatesta, Francesca Sanna, Sabrina Uda et al.Several in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated the involvement of infectious agents in the development of atherosclerosis. However, the mechanisms by which micro-organisms induce and/or aggravate atherosclerosis, are so far unclear. Accumulation of cholesterol esters and lipid laden cell formation are hallmark of the atherogenesis, however, the possible relationship between cholesterol esterification and the signal-transducing component of LPS … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
