Comparative study between conventional crystalloid cardioplegic solution with modified del nido cardioplegia in mitral valve regurgitation surgery

Rev. chil. anest; 52 (6), 2023
BACKGROUND: Cardioplegia is crucial for protecting the heart. Long-term cardiac protection is offered by the Del Nido Cardioplegia solution (dNCS). AIM: To compare conventional crystalloid cardioplegia with modified del Nido cardioplegia in mitral valve regurgitation replacement surgery. OBJECTIVES AND M...

Short-chain fatty acids production by Bifidobacterium species in the presence of salep

BACKGROUND: Salep is obtained by grinding dried orchid tubers and used as a valuable ingredient in the food industry. Because of the glucomannan content of salep, it is thought to have prebiotic potential. However, there is little information in studies concerning the fermentation characteristics and pot...

Antihypoxic and anti-ischemic properties of the North Caucasus flora plant extracts

Nowdays it is established that ischemic brain damage like ischemic stroke is one of the leading cause of death and disability in the population that assumes relevance development of anti-ischemic drugs. The work studied the anti-hypoxic and anti-ischemic effect of 7 plant extracts. Antihypoxic activity w...

Development of biodegradation process for Poly(DL-lactic acid) degradation by crude enzyme produced by Actinomadura keratinilytica strain T16-1

Background: Plastic waste is a serious problem because it is difficult to degrade, thereby leading to global environment problems. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, and it can be degraded by various enzymes produced by microorganisms. This st...

Determination of changes during storage in chemical and microbial compositions of yoghurts made from buffalo milk and buffalo and cow milk mixtures

Arch. latinoam. nutr; 69 (2), 2019
This study was aimed to determine and compare the chemical and microbiological properties of yoghurts made from different types of milk and their mixtures (35%, 65%, and 100%) during their storage at 4 °C for 28 days. For this purpose, chemical and microbiological properties of yoghurts during storage a...

Lactate-upregulation of lactate oxidation complex-related genes is blunted in left ventricle of myocardial infarcted rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (11), 2018
Lactate modulates the expression of lactate oxidation complex (LOC)-related genes and cardiac blood flow under physiological conditions, but its modulatory role remains to be elucidated regarding pathological cardiac stress. The present study evaluated the effect of lactate on LOC-related genes expressio...

Biogenic amines and mycotoxins concentrations in baled silage from organic and conventional farms

The aim of the current study was to investigate biogenic amines and mycotoxins concentrations in baled silage (mainly Poaceae family grasses) prepared in organic and conventional farms and to relate these parameters to fermentative parameters. The mean dry matter (DM) content was 364.10±93.31 and 424.70...
