Influence of hydroxyethyl starch (6% HES 130/0.4) administration on hematology and clinical chemistry parameters [PDF]
Background: The chemical inertness of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) might cause interferences of the colloid with a variety of laboratory tests. We aimed to evaluate potential influences of HES 130/0.4, the newest HES type, on several common hematology and ...

The effective detoxification of blood plasma by foam bubbling
A blood plasma detoxitycation efficiency by a barbotage method (gas bubbling through a liquid medium) is investigated. It is established that the efficiency of removal of carbon tetrachloride out of the plasma and its mixtures with plasma substitutes is ...

Ohm's Law for a Relativistic Pair Plasma [PDF]
We derive the fully relativistic Ohm's law for an electron-positron plasma. The absence of non-resistive terms in Ohm's law and the natural substitution of the 4-velocity for the velocity flux in the relativistic bulk plasma equations do not require the field gradient length scale to be much larger than the lepton inertial lengths, or the existence of ...

Isotopic and vibrational-level dependence of H$_2$ dissociation by electron impact [PDF]
The low-energy electron-impact dissociation of molecular hydrogen has been a source of disagreement between various calculations and measurements for decades. Excitation of the ground state of H$_2$ into the dissociative $b ^3\Sigma_u^+$ state is now well understood, with the most recent measurements being in excellent agreement with the molecular ...

Angiogenesis in tissue engineering : Breathing life into constructed tissue substitutes [PDF]
Long-term function of three-dimensional (3D) tissue constructs depends on adequate vascularization after implantation. Accordingly, research in tissue engineering has focused on the analysis of angiogenesis.

Bone replacement might have been practiced for centuries with various materials of natural origin, but had rarely met success until the late 19th century. Nowadays, many different bone substitutes can be used.

Bound states near a moving charge in a quantum plasma [PDF]
It is investigated how the shielding of a moving point charge in a one-component fully degenerate fermion plasma affects the bound states near the charge at velocities smaller than the Fermi one. The shielding is accounted for by using the Lindhard dielectric function, and the resulting potential is substituted into the Schr\"odinger equation in order ...

Effect of Low-Temperature Plasma Jet on Thermal Stability and Physical Structure of Type I Collagen [PDF]
This work is devoted to the characterization of type I collagen treated by a low-temperature plasma jet generated in ambient air to determine whether the resulting fibrous material is structurally preserved or reinforced.

Development of a Novel Pre-Vascularized Three-Dimensional Skin Substitute Using Blood Plasma Gel
Skin substitutes with existing vascularization are in great demand for the repair of full-thickness skin defects. In the present study, we hypothesized that a pre-vascularized skin substitute can potentially promote wound healing. Novel three-dimensional

A Natural Meliorate: Revolutionary Tissue Engineering in Endodontics [PDF]
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) was first described by Choukroun et al., (2001). It has been referred to as a second-generation platelet concentrate, which has been shown to have several advantages over traditionally prepared platelet-rich plasma.
