Comprehensive research to quantify the deformability of erythrocytes in diabetic animals and humans has been lacking. The objective of this study was to compare the impairment of erythrocyte deformability in diabetic rats and patients by use of the same rheologic method. Deformability was investigated in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and diabetic patients, by using the highly sensitive and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Construction and application a vane system in a rotational rheometer for determination of the rheological properties of Monascus ruber CCT 3802Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 29-35 - 2010

The objectives of this work were the construction and adaptation of a vane system in a rotational rheometer; calibration of vane system using a mineral oil, and determination of rheological properties of the broth fermentation of Monascus ruber CCT 3802 at high cell density. Batch fermentation was carried out with glucose as the sole carbon source in a Bioflo III bioreactor. The consistency index ...... hiện toàn bộ
Differentiation of stem/progenitor cells into vascular cells in response to fluid mechanical forcesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 1-10 - 2010
Kimiko Yamamoto, Joji Ando
Vascular functions are regulated not only by chemical mediators, such as hormones, cytokines, and neurotransmitters, but by mechanical hemodynamic forces generated by blood flow and blood pressure. The mechanical force-mediated regulation is based on the ability of vascular cells, including endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, to recognize fluid mechanical forces, i.e., the shear stress prod...... hiện toàn bộ
Rheological properties of agar microgel suspensions prepared using water-in-oil emulsionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 70-76 - 2011
Eiko Suzawa, Isamu Kaneda
Agar microgel suspensions containing sugar fatty acid esters were prepared using a water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion system. The volume fraction of microgel particles was adjusted by centrifugation to obtain high volume fraction suspensions. The relationship between the apparent equilibrium shear modulus and the volume fraction was analyzed using a hard-sphere model. The rigidity of the microgel particl...... hiện toàn bộ
Slowness of blood flow and resultant thrombus formation in cerebral aneurysmsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 47-55 - 2011
Kenjiro Shimano, Yosuke Aida, Yuta Nakagawa
It is not yet fully understood what causes cerebral aneurysms to rupture. Although no definitive conclusion has been reached, it is considered that there are haemodynamic, biochemical and physiological factors contributing to rupture. Numerical techniques seem promising for investigation of this multi-physical phenomenon. In fact, recent intensive numerical studies with computational fluid dynamic...... hiện toàn bộ
