Approximately, the half volume of the blood is composed of red blood cells (RBCs) which is believed to strongly influence its flow properties. Blood flow in microvessels depends strongly on the motion, deformation and interaction of RBCs. Several experimental studies on both individual and concentrated RBCs have already been performed in the past (Goldsmith 1971, Goldsmith and Marlow 1979, Chien et al. 1984, Go...
The blood flow dynamics in microcirculation depends strongly on the motion, deformation and interaction of RBCs within the microvessel. This paper presents the application of a confocal micro-PTV system to track RBCs through a circular polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) microchannel. This technique, consists of a spinning disk confocal microscope, high speed camera and a diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser combined w...
Myrtaceae is a plant family widely used in folk medicine and Syzygium and Eugenia are among the most important genera. We investigated the anti-allergic properties of an aqueous leaf extract of Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels (SC). HPLC analysis revealed that hydrolyzable tannins and flavonoids are the major components of the extract. Oral administration of SC (25-100 mg/kg) in Swiss mice (20-25 g; N = 7/group) inh...
Os ácidos triterpênicos são metabólitos comuns na família Myrtaceae, especialmente no gênero Eugenia. O ácido ursólico foi descrito como um dos principais constituintes, nas folhas de Eugenia brasiliensis, coletada no Sudoeste do Brasil. Uma partição prévia, por solventes, do extrato etanólico ou do extrato clorofórmico de E. brasiliensis, seguida por uma purificação por cromatografia de contra-corrente de alta...
