Antihemolytic and antioxidant properties of pearl powder against 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride-induced hemolysis and oxidative damage to erythrocyte membrane lipids and proteins.

Journal of food and drug analysis
Pearl powder, a well-known traditional mineral medicine, is reported to be used for well-being and to treat several diseases from centuries in Taiwan and China. We investigated the in vitro antihemolytic and antioxidant properties of pearl powder tha...

Characterization and hepatoprotective activity of anthocyanins from purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. cultivar Eshu No. 8).

Journal of food and drug analysis
The hepatoprotective activity of anthocyanin-rich purple sweet potato extract (APSPE) was demonstrated. Sixty mice were randomly divided into six groups: control group [without carbon tetrachloride (CCl) or APSPE]; model group (with CCl only); positi...

Investigation of Collective Behaviour and Electrocommunication in the Weakly Electric Fish, Mormyrus rume, through a biomimetic Robotic Dummy Fish.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A robotic fish has been developed to create a mixed bio-hybrid system made up of weakly electric fish and a mobile dummy fish. Weakly electric fish are capable of interacting with each other via sequences of self-generated electric signals during ele...

Optimization of post-cervical artificial insemination in gilts: Effect of cervical relaxation procedures and catheter type.

Theriogenology
Post-cervical (pC) artificial insemination (AI) has been successfully developed for application in multiparous sows, although it has proved problematic in gilts. This study analyzes the use of pC-AI in gilts by two experiments. In the first experimen...

Robot-assisted mechanical therapy attenuates stroke-induced limb skeletal muscle injury.

FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology
The efficacy and optimization of poststroke physical therapy paradigms is challenged in part by a lack of objective tools available to researchers for systematic preclinical testing. This work represents a maiden effort to develop a robot-assisted me...

GC-MS Metabolomics Identifies Metabolite Alterations That Precede Subclinical Mastitis in the Blood of Transition Dairy Cows.

Journal of proteome research
The objectives of this study were to determine alterations in the serum metabolites related to amino acid (AA), carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism in transition dairy cows before diagnosis of subclinical mastitis (SCM), during, and after diagnosis of...

A Graph Approach to Mining Biological Patterns in the Binding Interfaces.

Journal of computational biology : a journal of computational molecular cell biology
Protein-RNA interactions play important roles in the biological systems. Searching for regular patterns in the Protein-RNA binding interfaces is important for understanding how protein and RNA recognize each other and bind to form a complex. Herein, ...

Artificial neural networks and geometric morphometric methods as a means for classification: A case-study using teeth from Carcharhinus sp. (Carcharhinidae).

Journal of morphology
Over the past few decades, geometric morphometric methods have become increasingly popular and powerful tools to describe morphological data while over the same period artificial neural networks have had a similar rise in the classification of specim...

MoSe Nanolabels for Electrochemical Immunoassays.

Analytical chemistry
There is huge interest in biosensors as a result of the demand for personalized medicine. In biomolecular detection, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can be used as signal-enhancing elements. Herein, we utilize a solution-based electrochemical...

Factors influencing the potency of marbofloxacin for pig pneumonia pathogens Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida.

Research in veterinary science
For the pig respiratory tract pathogens, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of marbofloxacin was determined in recommended broths and pig serum at three inoculum strengths. MICs in both g...
