In this study, potential antifungal properties of a brown alga Fucus vesiculosus were evaluated.The algal extract was obtained with the use of supercritical fluid extraction (scCO2) at a temperature of 50 °C under a pressure of 300 bar.The aqueous solution of the extract at the concentration of 0.05%, 0.2%, 0.5% and 1.0% was studied against pa
Identification, characterization and expression analysis of rLcn13, an epididymal lipocalin in rats
As the essential tissue for sperm maturation and storage, the epididymis secretes a number of tissue-specific proteins to exert its functions.Among Vision Care these proteins, epididymal lipocalins have been intensively studied because of their epididymis-specific expression pattern and clustered genomic organization.In this study, rLcn13, a member
Optical Detection of Partial Discharges Under Fast Rising Square Voltages in Dielectric Liquids
Partial discharge (PD) measurement of an insulation system is widely used as a diagnostic tool for the quality control of high voltage apparatuses.In ac, the conventional method of PD detection is well established.However, under square voltages such as those generated across power electronic converters, the conventional method cannot discriminate b
A case report of spontaneous abortion caused by Brucella melitensis biovar 3
Abstract Background Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Brucella spp.Brucella invades the body through the skin mucosa, digestive tract, and respiratory tract.However, only a few studies on human spontaneous abortion attributable to Brucella have been reported.In this work, the patient living in Shanxi Province in China Deep Fryer
Cytotoxicity of Different Concentrations of Three Root Canal Sealers on Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
This study assessed the dose-dependent effect on the cytotoxicity of BioRoot RCS (BR) and Endosequence BC (BC) sealers in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) compared to those of the AH Plus sealer.Cells were exposed to different dilutions of extracts from freshly prepared sealers (1:2, 1:8, 1:32).Unexposed cells acted as the negative
