Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research

Caffeine consumption by pregnant women at doses above 300 mg/day was suggested to cause skeletal damage. Propolis with high flavonoids concentration could increase the number of osteoblasts. This research aims to evaluate the effect of propolis and milk administration on fetal skeletal of caffeine-induced female mice (Mus musculus). Mice were divided into six groups: negative group, positive group of caffeine (a dose of 75 mg/kg BW), positive group of propolis (a dose of 1400 mg/kg BW), positive group of milk (200 ml), group D1 (caffeine 75 mg/kg BW and propolis 1400 mg/kg BW) and group D2 (caffeine 75 mg/kg BW …

Planned Behaviour In Purchasing Health Insurance, Rayenda Brahmana, Ritzky Karina Brahmana, Gesti Memarista

The South East Asian Journal of Management

This research aims to investigate why there is low insurance purchasing in Indonesia. The research framework adopts the theory of planned behaviour in exploring the insurance purchase intention behaviour of Indonesians. Furthermore, this research introduces health value as the moderating variable on the relationship between attitude towards insurance purchasing and the intention to purchase insurance. We take 311 insurance holders from five Indonesian big cities as the sample. The results show that perceived risk and perceived usefulness play important roles in the attitude towards the intention to purchase health insurance. Our findings also show that health value contributes significantly in …

Salt Tolerance Of Six Switchgrass Cultivars, Youping Sun, Genhua Niu, Girisha Ganjegunte, Yanqi Wu

Plants, Soils, and Climate Faculty Publications

Panicum virgatum L. (switchgrass) cultivars (‘Alamo’, ‘Cimarron’, ‘Kanlow’, ‘NL 94C2-3’, ‘NSL 2009-1’, and ‘NSL 2009-2’) were evaluated for salt tolerance in two separate greenhouse experiments. In experiment (Expt.) 1, switchgrass seedlings were irrigated with a nutrient solution at an electrical conductivity (EC) of 1.2 dS·m−1 (control) or a saline solution (spiked with salts) at an EC of 5.0 dS·m−1 (EC 5) or 10.0 dS·m−1 (EC 10) for four weeks, once a week. Treatment EC 10 reduced the tiller number by 32% to 37% for all switchgrass cultivars except ‘Kanlow’. All switchgrass cultivars under EC 10 had a significant reduction of …

Comparison Of Staphylococcus Phage K With Close Phage Relatives Commonly Employed In Phage Therapeutics, Jude Ajuebor, Colin Buttimer, Sara Arroyo-Moreno, Nina Chanishvili, Emma M. Gabriel, Jim O'Mahony, Olivia Mcauliffe, Horst Neve, Charles Franz, Aidan Coffey

Department of Biological Sciences Publications

The increase in antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria is a public health danger requiring alternative treatment options, and this has led to renewed interest in phage therapy. In this respect, we describe the distinct host ranges of Staphylococcus phage K, and two other K-like phages against 23 isolates, including 21 methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) representative sequence types representing the Irish National MRSA Reference Laboratory collection. The two K-like phages were isolated from the Fersisi therapeutic phage mix from the Tbilisi Eliava Institute, and were designated B1 (vB_SauM_B1) and JA1 (vB_SauM_JA1). The sequence relatedness of B1 and JA1 to phage K …

Effects Of Mango Peel Powder On The Gelatinization And Retrogradation Properties Of Starch, Liu Fangmei, Wang Kai, Luo Jin, Zhao Lei, Hu Zhuoyan

Food and Machinery

Brabender viscometer and differential scanning calorimetry were used to study the effects of mango peel powder (MPP) on the pasting and thermal properties of corn and rice starch. Moreover, the changes in the transmittance, sedimentation rate, gel hardness and color of the two kinds of starch were also analyzed, and thus impacts on starch gelatinization and retrogradation were evaluated. The results showed that with the increase in the amount of added mango peel powder (0%～15%), the pasting temperature of corn and rice starches were decreased, while breakdown values were increased. Corn starch showed the highest peak viscosity with the addition …

Effect Of Age On Volatile Flavor And Fatty Acid Of Salted Goose, Zhang Ming, Yu Hai, Zhou Xiaoyan, Wu Danfeng

Food and Machinery

The differences of volatile flavor components and fatty acid composition between salted goose at 75, 150 and 300 days old were compared and analyzed to provide theoretical basis for selecting the best slaughtering period in the production of Yangzhou salted goose. The volatile flavor and fatty acid of the leg samples were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) using saltwater goose leg meat as raw material at different days old. The relative contents of aldehydes, esters, acids, ketones, benzene and ethers in volatile flavor substances of salted goose increased, while the relative contents of terpene hydrocarbons and furans decreased with …
