With the mandate of Montreal Protocol banning ozone depleting substances, and Kyoto Protocol later on curtailing the use of
substances which contribute to global warming, conventional refrigerants are to be replaced by environment-friendly working
fluids. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are being substituted by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),
hydrofluorooelifins (HFOs), and a variety of mixtures. In view of the global warming potential of these newly synthesized
refrigerants, the recent trend is to go back to the originally used natural fluids such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons,
water vapour, etc. In this article, various issues related to this changeover of refrigerants being used in vapour compression
refrigeration systems are discussed. 相似文献

Fatty deposits clog the coronary arteries blocking blood flow to the heart muscles. This leads to coronary artery diseases.
The therapeutic approach is to either provide a by-pass or clear the block by a procedure called angioplasty. However, angioplasty
has a high rate of restenosisrenarrowing of the artery in due course. Scientists are looking at various options to prevent
restenosis. Application of ionising radiation to the site of angioplasty is one such option. 相似文献

Current macro- and microfluidic approaches for the isolation of mammalian cells are limited in both efficiency and purity. In order to design a robust platform for the enumeration of a target cell population, high collection efficiencies are required. Additionally, the ability to isolate pure populations with minimal biological perturbation and efficient off-chip recovery will enable subcellular analyses of these cells for applications in personalized medicine. Here, a rational design approach for a simple and efficient device that isolates target cell populations via magnetic tagging is presented. In this work, two magnetophoretic microfluidic device designs are described, with optimized dimensions and operating conditions determined from a force balance equation that considers two dominant and opposing driving forces exerted on a magnetic-particle-tagged cell, namely, magnetic and viscous drag. Quantitative design criteria for an electromagnetic field displacement-based approach are presented, wherein target cells labeled with commercial magnetic microparticles flowing in a central sample stream are shifted laterally into a collection stream. Furthermore, the final device design is constrained to fit on standard rectangular glass coverslip (60 (L)×24 (W)×0.15 (H) mm3) to accommodate small sample volume and point-of-care design considerations. The anticipated performance of the device is examined via a parametric analysis of several key variables within the model. It is observed that minimal currents (<500 mA) are required to generate magnetic fields sufficient to separate cells from the sample streams flowing at rate as high as 7 ml∕h, comparable to the performance of current state-of-the-art magnet-activated cell sorting systems currently used in clinical settings. Experimental validation of the presented model illustrates that a device designed according to the derived rational optimization can effectively isolate (∼100%) a magnetic-particle-tagged cell population from a homogeneous suspension even in a low abundance. Overall, this design analysis provides a rational basis to select the operating conditions, including chamber and wire geometry, flow rates, and applied currents, for a magnetic-microfluidic cell separation device. 相似文献

A potent hypoglycaemic principle was isolated by us earlier from the seeds of fenugreek. We have now investigated its hypocholesterolemic effect. Hypercholesterolemia was induced in two groups of rabbits (5 each) by feeding orally cholesterol 100 mg/kg/day for one week. From 8th day group I animals (controls) received the same dose of cholesterol for 4 more weeks. Group II animals (treated) were given along with the same dose of cholesterol fenugreek principle at 50 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks. Fenugreek principle not only prevented the elevation of serum cholesterol, (LDL+VLDL)c, triacylglycerols and the ratios of total cholesterol/HDLc and (LDL+VLDL)c/HDLc, but also brought down most of these values. Blood glucose levels were normal. The study shows that the same hypoglycaemic principle has hypocholesterolemic effect also. 相似文献

The study was aimed at presence of specific IgE antibody levelsinvitro to the identified antigen. Based on positive skin test with Gynandropsis gynandra and elevated levels of total IgE (>325
IU/ml) 104 patients were selected. Healthy, asymptomatic individuals (25) with low total IgE (<325 IU/ml) were included as
controls. The mean OD values by ELISA for specific IgE were 0.67±0.21, 0.57±0.18 and 0.56±0.18 with whole pollen antigen,
46-37 kD fraction and 36-32 kD fraction, respectively. The specificity and sensitivity between skin test positivity with whole
pollen antigen verses fraction with mol.wt 46-37 kD was 90% and 90% and for fraction with mol.wt 36-32 kD was found to be
81.1% and 89.4%. The clusters with molecular weights 46-37 kD and 36-32 kD may be useful inin vitro diagnostic test. Fractions within these clusters need to be identified for a higher specificity. 相似文献
