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
F. Vendruscolo, L. O. Pitol, B. A. M. Carciofi, D. E. Moritz, J. B. Laurindo, W. Schmidell, J. L. Ninow
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
Rheological study on coagulation of blood with special reference to the triggering mechanism of venous thrombus formationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 2-10 - 2009
Makoto Kaibara
A markedly reduced blood flow, an elevation of hematocrit and an increased
aggregability of erythrocytes [red blood cells (RBCs)] are risk factors for
venous thrombus formation (intravascular blood coagulation). However, these risk
factors alone seem to be insufficient to stimulate the coagulation cascade in
the absence of a primary triggering mechanism. In this paper, our rheological
and biochemi... hiện toàn bộ
