Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLipid Profile of Gymnasts of the Jordan National TeamAhmad Bani Ata, Kamal Mansi, Talal AburjaiThis study was carried out to assess the lipid pattern in gymnasts of the Jordan National Team. Twelve athletes represent the National gymnastic team (4 males and 8 females, mean age 18±1 year) were included in this study. The training period for them is not less eight years during which they trained 18 hours weekly at least. A group of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRat Cardiomyocytes Express a Classical Epithelial Beta-DefensinAnnika Linde, Gerald H. Lushington, Frank Blecha, Tonatiuh MelgarejoBeta-defensins (BDs) are classical epithelial antimicrobial peptides of immediate importance in innate host defense. Since recent studies have suggested that certain BDs are also expressed in non-traditional tissues, including whole heart homogenate, and because effector molecules of innate immunity and inflammation can influence the development of certain cardiovascular disease processes, we hypothesized that BDs are produced by cardiomyocytes as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSesame Oil As A Protective Agent Against Doxorubicin Induced Cardio Toxicity In RatKaneez F. Shad, Suhail Al-Salam, Alaaeldin A. HamzaThe therapeutic value of doxorubicin (DXO) as anticancer antibiotic is limited by its cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of sesame oil against DXO-induced cardiotoxicity and oxidative stress. The administration of DXO (20 mg/kg) to Wister male rats, increased serum aspartate aminotransferase and creatine kinase activities (as cardiotoxicity indices) as well as cardiac malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunodeficient Parameters in the HIV-1 Transgenic Rat ModelSulie L. Chang, Frank Ocasio, Jose A. BeltranRecently an HIV-1 transgenic (HIV-1Tg) rat model was created that carries a gag-pol-deleted HIV-1 genome under the control of the HIV-1 viral promoter. However, other viral proteins are expressed in most organs and tissues, and are found in the circulating blood. Since HIV-1 targets the immune system in humans, we examined two immunological parameters, leukocyte-endothelial adhesion (LEA) and inflammatory cytokine … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,834 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunohistochemistry Assay to Detect Turkey Coronavirus (TCoV) from Experimentally Infected PoultsThais Larissa L Castanheira, Heitor F. Ferrari, Maria Cecília R. Luvizotto, Tereza C. CardosoThe objective of this study was to develop a direct immunohistochemical assay to detect TCoV antigens in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections prepared from experimentally infected poults. The sections of ileo, ileo-cecal junction and ceca regions from intestine were prepared and submitted to two different primary antibodies, first the non-biotin labeled polyclonal antibody for the indirect method, and second the biotin-labeled polyclonal … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Testing of a Medical Surgical Instrument Capable of Detecting Simulated Embedded LumpsJavad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Reza Ramezanifard, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheA novel endoscopic grasper is being fabricated and tested. This grasper can be used in detecting lumps or tumors in biological tissues. The detailed fabrication process of the tactile sensor has been discussed. Custom-made sensors were integrated with the jaws of the endoscopic grasper and objects with known tactile features were tested by the designed grasper. Different experiments were performed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence Of Isomerised Plant Oils With High Content Of Conjugated Dienes Of Linoleic Acids c9,t11 And t10,c12 On The Fat Reduction In The Carcass And Meat of LambB. Patkowska-Sokola, R. Bodkowski, W. Walisiewicz-Niedbalska, S. ZielinskiAn influence of isomerised poppy seed oil on lamb body fat and fat content in meat, and also fatty acids content was determined in the research. As a result of poppy seed oil isomerisation, the synthesis of conjugated dienes of linoleic acid of trans-10, cis-12 and cis-9, trans-11 configuration in amounts 34.3% and 32.2%, respectively, occurred. The enrichment of feed … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Implementation of Brain Tumor Detection Using Segmentation Based on Neuro Fuzzy TechniqueS. Murugavalli, V. RajamaniImplementation of a neuro-fuzzy segmentation process of the MRI data is presented in this study to detect various tissues like white matter, gray matter, csf and tumor. The advantage of hierarchical self organizing map and fuzzy c means algorithms are used to classify the image layer by layer. The lowest level weight vector is achieved by the abstraction level. We … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContribution of the Entropy Function to the Study of Collimator for Nuclear Medicine ImagingM.S. Bouhdima, I. Elloumi, M.H.B. GhozlenScintigraphic image currently used in the diagnosis or the evaluation process of tissues, is strongly dependant on several technical parameters specially collimator characteristics. The present work describes a numerical method, based on entropy function, able to specify depth and hole diameter of collimator as well as other geometrical parameters to get a better accuracy in scintigraphy evaluation. From the classical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCholesterol Metabolism in Brain and Skin Fibroblasts from Sarda Breed Sheep With Scrapie-resistant and Scrapie-susceptible GenotypesAlessandra Pani, Claudia Abete, Claudia Norfo et al.Scrapie is a fatal spongiform encephalopathy of sheep, a transmissible form of prion disease caused by neuronal accumulation of the aberrantly conformed prion protein (PrPsc). Currently, no ante-mortem diagnostic tests are available to detect this untreatable disease in the pre-clinical stage, thus making difficult to control its spread. Recent evidence suggests that the production of PrPsc can be modulated by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,257 accessesView PDFCite
