Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasurement of Fibrinogen Concentration in the Plasma of Dogs: A Comparison Between Heat Precipitation and Modified Thrombin Clotting Time MethodLabrini V. Athanasiou, Theodoros A. Petanides, Manolis K. Chatzis, Manolis N. SaridomichelakisFibrinogen is a glycoprotein that plays a key role in blood clotting and is also a non-specific indicator of inflammation. The most widely used techniques for measuring plasma fibrinogen concentration include heat precipitation (Millar’s technique) and modified thrombin clotting time (Clauss method). Both techniques have been automated in a haematology analyzer (QBC-Vet Autoreader®, IDEXX; Millar’s technique) and in a newly … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 May 2013 · 7,449 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRelationship Between Blood Fibrinogen Concentration and Pathological Features of Cancer Patients: A 139-case Clinical StudyDa-Yong Lu, Xue-Liang Chen, Min Huang et al.Angiogenesis and coagulation are among the most consistent host responses to the presence of a malignant tissue. Pathological angiogenesis and coagulation are often occurred in patients with solid tumors, especially in the occurrence of neoplasm metastasis and as targets for anti-metastatic drugs such as antiangiogenesis agents, coagulation-mediated agents and anticancer drugs. Since fibrinogen (Fib) is the most abundant and key … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2010 · 7,859 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExpression, Purification and Activity Assay of Two New Recombinant Antagonists of Fibrinogen ReceptorJianbo Yang, Jia Yao, Kun Yang et al.The gene sequence of Decorsin which is extracted from a kind of North American leeches was synthesized. Two recombinant proteins, Annexin V plus Decorsin (AnnV-D39) and Annexin V plus the carboxyl terminal 27 amino acid residues of Decorsin(AnnV-D27), were constructed. And a 10 amino acids linker peptide of GGGGSGGGGS was inserted between Annexin V and Decorsin in AnnV-D39. Using pET-28(a+) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,913 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAcute Phase Proteins, Lipid Profile and Proinflammatory Cytokines in Healthy and Bronchopneumonic Water Buffalo CalvesSabry M. El-Bahr, Wael M. EL-DeebThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of Acute Phase Proteins (APP), lipid profiles and proinflammatory cytokines in healthy and bronchopneumonic water buffalo calves. Therefore, sixty water buffalo calves (9±1 month old, 175±15 kg) were divided into two equal groups, the first group represented healthy, control, calves whereas calves of the second group were affected … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,415 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtection of Human Albumin against UV-C Irradiation by Natural AntioxidantsAntonio Zuorro, Roberto LavecchiaThe use of UV-C light as a means to inactivate pathogens in biological media containing blood components or plasma derivatives has recently been rediscovered. Although highly effective, these treatments may have deleterious effects on plasma proteins such as albumin, fibrinogen and immunoglobulins. Here we investigate the use of three natural antioxidants, gallic acid, nicotinic acid and ascorbic acid, as potential … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2018 · 9,922 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractMeaning of the Oral Hygiene in Children, Due to Atherosclerosis GenerationAnna Wójtowicz-Bujak, Andrzej WolskiResearch focused on association between periodontal diseases and atherosclerosis has been substantial in recent years. It is now well known that chronic inflammation plays an important role in initiation and evolution of atherosclerosis. The bacterial plaque is a key pathology leading to periodontal inflammation. As reported by other authors, bacteria causing periodontal disease were found within the carotid arteries in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 7 Nov 2015 · 7,198 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRELATIONSHIPS AMONG INDICATORS OF FITNESS, FATNESS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK FACTORS IN ADOLESCENTSRobert Malina, Stephen-Mark Cooper, John Young et al.In adults, fatness and low cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with a higher prevalence of chronic disease risk and mortality. The association between measures of physical fitness and fatness upon cardiovascular risk in youth, however, is less clear. The effects of adiposity and physical fitness upon cardiovascular disease risk factors in youth are receiving increasing attention but studies that have examined … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2012 · 8,114 accessesView PDF Cite

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.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPurification of A Recombinant Thrombin-like Enzyme, Gloshedobin by Egg Yolk Antibody-Coupled AdsorbentsQing Yang, Xuyu Lei, Jianqiang Xu, Lijia AnThe gloshedobin, a snake venom thrombin-like enzyme was biosynthesized in the soluble form and purified by egg yolk antibody-coupled adsorbents from E. coli. As His-tag is not favored from the point of view of high-level and soluble expression, we herein constructed a recombinant gloshedobin without His-tag and developed a novel egg yolk antibody (IgY)-immunoaffinity chromatography for its purification in a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,690 accessesView PDF Cite
