Javed Sheikh  Priyanka S. Jagtap  M. D. Teli 《Fibers and Polymers》2016,17(5):738-743

Most of the natural dyes require mordants for their fixation on textile materials. Natural mordants are thus gaining importance in order to get complete-natural dyeing. In the present work, natural dyes and mordants were extracted using conventional and ultrasound methods and comparative studies were made. The natural mordants namely harda and tamarind seed coat and natural dyes like turmeric, henna were extracted using conventional and ultrasound approaches and various extracts obtained were described in terms of their optical densities. In order to verify the extraction efficiencies, wool fabrics were dyed with extracts of various combinations of mordants/dyes and dyed fabrics were evaluated for their colour strengths and fastness properties. The extent of colour extraction was higher in case of ultrasound assisted extraction as compared to that of conventional method. The fabrics dyed using extracts of ultrasound method showed higher colour values as compared to those dyed using extracts from conventional methods thus confirming ultrasound as more efficient method of extraction.  相似文献

Effect of oil impregnation on water repellency,dimensional stability and mold susceptibility of thermally modified European aspen and downy birch wood     

Sheikh Ali Ahmed  Tom Morén  Margot Sehlstedt-Persson  Åsa Blom 《Journal of Wood Science》2017,63(1):74-82

Conventional chemical wood preservatives have been banned or restricted in some applications due to human and animal toxicity and their adverse impact on the surrounding environment. New, low-environmental-impact wood treatments that still provide effective protection systems are needed to protect wood. Thermal modification of wood could reduce hygroscopicity, improve dimensional stability and enhance resistance to mold attack. The aim of this study was to investigate if these properties enhanced in thermally modified (TM) wood through treatments with oils. In this study, TM European aspen (Populus tremula) and downy birch (Betula pubescens) wood were impregnated with three different types of oil: water-miscible commercial Elit Träskydd (Beckers oil with propiconazole and 3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate, IPBC), a pine tar formulation and 100% tung oil. The properties of oil-impregnated wood investigated were water repellency, dimensional stability and mold susceptibility. The treated wood, especially with pine tar and tung oil, showed an increase in water repellency and dimensional stability. However, Beckers oil which contains biocides like propiconazole and IPBC showed better protection against mold compared with pine tar and tung oil. To enhance the dimensional stability of the wood, pine tar and tung oil can be used, but these oil treatments did not significantly improve mold resistance rather sometimes enhanced the mold growth, whereas a significant anti-mold effect was observed on Beckers oil treated samples.  相似文献

A Comparison between dietary effects of Cuminum cyminum essential oil and Cuminum cyminum essential oil,loaded with iron nanoparticles,on growth performance,immunity and antioxidant indicators of white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)          下载免费PDF全文

M. Sheikh Asadi  A. Gharaei  J. Mirdar Harijani  A. Arshadi 《Aquaculture Nutrition》2018,24(5):1466-1473

This study evaluates the effect of dietary cumin essential oil's (CEO) and cumin essential oil's loaded iron nanoparticles (CEO‐loaded NPs) on growth performance, haematological parameters and antioxidant status of white leg shrimp. Shrimps with the initial weight of 3.38 ± 0.014 g were allocated into 15 fibreglass tanks (300 L, 60 shrimps per tank) and were fed with five experimental diets containing 0 g/kg CEO (the control diet), 5 g/kg CEO, 10 g/kg CEO, 5 g/kg CEO‐NPs and 10 g/kg CEO‐NPs for 56 days. After 56 days of culture, the shrimps fed with CEO and CEO‐loaded NPs supplemented diets showed a more significant increase in growth performance (p < .05) than in the control diet. Total haemocyte count (THC) value, large‐granule cells (LGC), hyaline cells (HC)%, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity were significantly higher (p < .05) in the shrimps fed with CEO and CEO‐loaded NPs supplemented diets than the shrimps fed with the control diet. Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) enzyme activities along with the glucose and cholesterol concentrations significantly decreased in the shrimps fed with the CEO and CEO‐loaded NPs supplemented diets more than those fed with the control diet. The results suggest that the dietary CEO‐loaded NPs can improve the growth performance, the health status and the antioxidant capacity of L. vannamei.  相似文献   

Protective effect of rutin on paracetamol- and CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in rodents     

Janbaz KH  Saeed SA  Gilani AH 《Fitoterapia》2002,73(7-8):557-563

Rutin, a well-known flavonoid was investigated for its possible protective effect against paracetamol- and CCl(4)-induced hepatic damage. Paracetamol produced 100% mortality at the dose of 1 g/kg in mice while pre-treatment of animals with rutin (20 mg/kg) reduced the death rate to 40%. Oral administration of a sub-lethal dose of paracetamol (640 mg/kg) produced liver damage in rats as manifested by the rise in serum level of transaminases (AST and ALT). Pre-treatment of rats with rutin (20 mg/kg) prevented the paracetamol-induced rise in serum enzymes. The hepatotoxic dose of CCl(4) (1.5 ml/kg; orally) also raised the serum AST and ALT levels. The same dose of rutin (20 mg/kg) was able to prevent the CCl(4)-induced rise in serum enzymes. Rutin also prevented the CCl(4)-induced prolongation in pentobarbital sleeping time confirming its hepatoprotectivity. These results indicate that rutin possesses hepatoprotective activity and the presence of this compound in Artemisia scoparia may explain the folkloric use of the plant in liver damage.  相似文献   

Gastric submucosal fat in cats     

Heng HG  Teoh WT  Sheikh Omar AR 《Anatomia, histologia, embryologia》2008,37(5):362-365

A previous study showed that a gastric intramural radiolucent band seen on radiographs and a gastric intramural hypoattenuating layer seen on computed tomography were due to the presence of gastric submucosal fat in a cat. There is no known prevalence and distribution pattern of this gastric submucosal fat in cats. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence and distribution pattern of submucosal fat in cat stomachs. Histologic examination of 41 cat stomachs was performed after scheduled killing of cats, obtained from animal shelters. The results revealed that submucosal fat was present in all stomachs. However, thickness and distribution pattern of the submucosal fat varied.  相似文献   

Endocrinological characterization of an ovarian sex cord–stromal tumor with a Sertoli cell pattern in a Japanese Black cow     

Hossam El‐Sheikh Ali  Go Kitahara  Kazumi Nibe  Takeshi Osawa 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2019,54(11):1501-1504

A Japanese Black cow was evaluated for prolonged post‐partum anestrus and enlargement of the right ovary. Transrectal ultrasonography revealed that the right ovary was markedly enlarged and had a solid appearance, while the left ovary was small and inactive. The presumptive diagnosis was directed towards granulosa‐theca cell tumour (GTCT) which was supported by markedly elevated plasma anti‐Müllerian hormone (AMH; 332.0 ng/ml), oestradiol (E₂; 103.3 pg/ml) and immunoreactive inhibin (ir‐INH; 2.1 ng/ml) in comparison with the diagnostic cut‐off points for bovine GTCTs. Since the cow had been infertile and had swelling of the udder, slaughter was chosen. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumour was an ovarian sex cord–stromal tumour (SCST) with a Sertoli cell pattern. These findings suggest that plasma AMH, ir‐INH and E₂ could be possible biomarkers for bovine ovarian SCST with a Sertoli cell pattern, whereas this case could not be distinguished from GTCTs based on endocrinological profile.  相似文献   

Characterization of anti‐Müllerian hormone in a case of bovine male pseudohermaphroditism          下载免费PDF全文

G Kitahara  H El‐Sheikh Ali  APP Teh  Y Hidaka  S Haneda  S Mido  R Yamaguchi  T Osawa 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2018,53(3):809-813

The current report aimed to characterize plasma anti‐Müllerian hormone (AMH) in bovine male pseudohermaphroditism. The blood AMH concentration in a Japanese Black male pseudohermaphrodite calf was compared with pre‐ and post‐pubertal male and female calves and castrated calves. The concentration in the case was higher than in post‐pubertal males, castrated males, and pre‐ and post‐pubertal female calves (p < .05), but similar to that in pre‐pubertal male calves. After extraction of the testes, the concentration in the case dropped to a certain extent. The extracted testes expressed AMH, as detected by immunohistochemistry. This study is the first to show the characterization of AMH in a male pseudohermaphrodite calf. AMH levels in peripheral blood might be useful to diagnose male pseudohermaphroditism in cattle.  相似文献
