Optimisation of DNA and RNA extraction from archival formalin-fixed tissue. (1/383)

Archival, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue is an invaluable resource for molecular genetic studies but the extraction of high quality nucleic acid may be problematic. We have optimised DNA extraction by comparing 10 protocols, including a commercially available kit and a novel method that utilises a thermal cycler. The thermal cycler and Chelex-100 extraction method yielded DNA capable of amplification by PCR from every block and 61% of sections versus 54% using microwave and Chelex-100, 15% with classical xylene-based extraction and 60% of sections using the kit. Successful RNA extraction was observed, by beta-actin amplification, in 83.7% sections for samples treated by the thermal cycler and Chelex-100 method. Thermal cycler and Chelex-100 extraction of nucleic acid is reliable, quick and inexpensive. (+info)

The use of cryopreserved lymphocytes for longitudinal studies of immune function and enumeration of subpopulations. (2/383)

The responses of fresh and frozen lymphocytes to mitogens and antigens have been compared using samples collected on five separate occasions from one normal donor. The day-to-day variation seen with the fresh cells was eliminated by the use of frozen cells. Thawed cells from one donor collected on one occasion but studied on five separate occasions and compared to fresh cells on the same days, showed fluctuations from day to day as well, confirming that the day-to-day variation seen is due to technical and not biological phenomena. Cryopreserved cells showed a decrease in responses to specific microbial antigens, a slight shift in the PHA dose-response curve, but no significant difference in responses to Con A or PWM. The relative proportion of lymphocyte subpopulations changed with freezing and thawing. The proportion of T cells increased slightly and the proportion of B cells decreased. (+info)

Preservation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by the gelatin-disc method. (3/383)

Studies of Neisseria gonorrhoeae are difficult to perform because of the organism's poor survival in vitro. To solve this problem we tried to preserve the organism by a gelatin-disc method. The rate of survival and changes of variations in some biochemical properties of eight strains of N. gonorrhoeae were followed for three years. These studies proved that preservation was satisfactory with only a 1/10 reduction of the living cells. Another trial showed that the organism survived for over six months after being frozen at -20 degrees C. The colonial types, agglutination against red cells from rabbit and guinea pig, and antibiotic susceptibility to penicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, kanamycin, and streptomycin did not change after three years' preservation.

Survival of frozen mycoplasmas. (4/383)

Cooling to -70 C killed a higher percentage of Acholeplasma laidlawii and Mycoplasma mycoides var. capri cells than cooling to -20 C. However, to preserve cell viability for prolonged periods storage at -70 C was much more preferable. The percentage of cells surviving freezing could be increased by increasing the initial cell concentration or by the addition of dimethyl sulfoxide or glycerol as cryoprotective agents. In the presence of 1.5 M of any one of these agents survival rates of up to 100% could be obtained. The optimal cooling rates for maximal survival of A. laidlawii under the experimental conditions tested were 11 C/min for cooling to -20 C and about 15 C/min for cooling to -70 C. Increasing the warming rate during thawing from 0.6 to 67 C/min increased survival by 3 log. Oleic acid enrichment of A. laidlawii membrane lipids, or reduction in the cholesterol content of M. mycoides var. capri membranes, increased the percentage of organisms surviving freezing. Hence, the composition of membrane lipids appears to have a marked influence on the susceptibility of mycoplasmas to freezing injury. (+info)

Anaerobic specimen transport device. (5/383)

A device is described and evaluated for the anaerobic transport of clinical specimens. The device limits the amount of oxygen entering with the sample to a maximum of 2%, which is rapidly removed by reacting with hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst. The viability on swabs of 12 species of anaerobes, four strains of facultative anaerobes and a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was maintained during the length of the tests (24 or 48 h). The results demonstrated that this device protected even the more oxygen-sensitive clinical anaerobes from death due to oxygen exposure. This device can be used for swabs as well as for anaerobic collection and liquid and solid specimens. (+info)

The influence of aerated hydration seed treatment on seed longevity as assessed by the viability equations. (6/383)

Aerated hydration (AH) treatments of cauliflower seeds for 12 h (12AH) and 28 h (28AH) at 20 degrees C resulted in improved or reduced storage potential of low or high vigour seeds, respectively. Seeds were stored at their initial seed moisture content (mean 5.5% mc) or at 12% mc at 10 degrees C for 12 months and at 20 degrees C for 4 months. The improved longevity of low vigour seeds was associated with increased K(i) (initial seed viability) and a reduced rate of deterioration (1/sigma) whereas the K(i) of high vigour seeds fell after 28AH and the rate of deterioration increased such that the time to lose one probit of viability decreased from 28.7 to 5.3 months at 10 degrees C and from 10.4 to 1.2 months at 20 degrees C. The improved K(i) of low vigour seeds could be explained by the reduction in the extent of deterioration after AH, as indicated by the increase in germination after cotrolled deterioration (CD), and the possible activation of metabolic repair during treatment. In contrast the reduced germination after CD of AH-treated high vigour seeds was indicative of deterioration as a result of treatment. Both high and low vigour seeds contained constitutive levels of ss-tubulin which increased during AH treatment, the increase being greater in high vigour seeds. High vigour seeds also showed an increase in the proportion of nuclear DNA present as 4C DNA, from 3% (untreated seeds) to 26% (28AH), indicative of germination advancement from the G(1) to G(2) phase of the cell cycle during treatment. This higher proportion of 4C DNA is correlated with the increased sensitivity of seeds to drying and/or storage after AH, leading to their reduced K(i) and storage potential. In contrast, there was little change in %4C in low vigour seeds. Priming in polyethylene glycol (PEG, -1.0 MPa) for 5 d or 13 d also improved the longevity of low vigour seeds stored at their initial and 12% mc at 10 degrees C for 8 months, as reflected in their laboratory and CD germination. In this case, however, the improved longevity of the low vigour seeds following 13 d priming was associated with an increase in 4C DNA from 4% (dry control) to 56% after treatment. The germination of both untreated and primed high vigour seeds remained high throughout the storage period. Increases in the rate of germination (decreased mean germination time) observed after all AH and PEG treatments were not consistently associated with an increase in the proportion of nuclei containing 4C DNA.

Comparison of different culture media and storage temperatures for the long-term preservation of Streptococcus pneumoniae in the tropics. (7/383)

OBJECTIVE: The preservation of Streptococcus pneumoniae by standard freezing methods for subsequent tests--such as serotyping and antibiotic susceptibility--is not possible or is difficult in many developing countries because of the high cost of equipment, inadequate equipment maintenance, and irregular power supply. We evaluated alternative low-cost methods, by comparing different culture media and storage temperatures. METHODS: Clinical isolates of five capsular types (1, 5, 7, 19, and 23) of S. pneumoniae were preserved in rabbit blood, sheep blood, skimmed milk, or glycerol-chocolate broth, and stored at -20 degrees C or -70 degrees C. The cultures were also preserved by lyophilization or sand desiccation, followed by storage at room temperature and 4 degrees C. The viability of the preserved cultures was determined by making serial colony counts on day 0 and after 1 week, 4 weeks, 4 months and 16 months. The viability of cultures preserved by sand desiccation and storage at 4 degrees C was also determined every 6 months for up to 68 months. FINDINGS: Irrespective of the media used, cultures maintained at -20 degrees C became nonviable by the fourth month, while those maintained at -70 degrees C were still viable at 16 months. Cultures preserved by lyophilization or sand desiccation lost their viability by the fourth month when maintained at local room temperature (30-42 degrees C), but remained viable when stored at 4 degrees C for up to 68 months. CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirm that freezing at -70 degrees C, or lyophilization and storage at 4 degrees C are the ideal methods for the preservation of S. pneumoniae. In laboratories where lyophilization is not feasible, sand desiccation and storage at 4 degrees C offers an alternative low-cost method for the long-term preservation of S. pneumoniae. (+info)

Viability loss of neem (Azadirachta indica) seeds associated with membrane phase behaviour. (8/383)

Storage of neem (Azadirachta indica) seeds is difficult because of their sensitivity to chilling stress at moisture contents (MC) > or =10% or imbibitional stress below 10% MC. The hypothesis was tested that an elevated gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition temperature (Tm) of membranes is responsible for this storage behaviour. To this end a spin probe technique, Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy, and electron microscopy were used. The in situ Tm of hydrated membranes was between 10 degrees C and 15 degrees C, coinciding with the critical minimum temperature for germination. During storage, viability of fresh embryos was lost within two weeks at 5 degrees C, but remained high at 25 degrees C. The loss of viability coincided with an increased leakage of K+ from the embryos upon imbibition and with an increased proportion of cells with injured plasma membranes. Freeze-fracture replicas of plasma membranes from chilled, hydrated axes showed lateral phase separation and signs of the inverted hexagonal phase. Dehydrated embryos were sensitive to soaking in water, particularly at low temperatures, but fresh embryos were not. After soaking dry embryos at 5 degrees C (4 h) plus 1 d of further incubation at 25 degrees C, the axis cells were structurally disorganized and did not become turgid. In contrast, cells had a healthy appearance and were turgid after soaking at 35 degrees C. Imbibitional stress was associated with the loss of plasma membrane integrity in a limited number of cells, which expanded during further incubation of the embryos at 25 degrees C. It is suggested that the injuries brought about by storage or imbibition at sub-optimal temperatures in tropical seeds whose membranes have a high intrinsic Tm (10-15 degrees C), are caused by gel phase formation.

American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences , 6 (4), 486-510. (thescipub.com)
topic of research paper in Biological sciences. (cyberleninka.org)
Dr. Eric May is a professor of Microbiology at the University of Portsmouth School of Biological Sciences. (nps.gov)

Methods and compositions for reducing, preventing or reversing organ damage and/or enhancing organ preservation by administration of a peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor-alpha (PPARα) agonist to the organ. (freepatentsonline.com)
1. A method for preventing, reducing or reversing organ damage or enhancing organ preservation comprising contacting the organ with a PPARα agonist in an amount effective to prevent, reduce or reverse organ damage or enhance organ preservation. (freepatentsonline.com)
The temperature-controlled organ preservation solution includes components such as oxygen carrying agents, antioxidants, tissue damage reversing and protecting agents, carrier vehicles, diluents, nutrients, and anti-coagulating agents. (google.com.au)
There is a great demand, therefore, for instrumentation for organ preservation which is easily transportable by car or air. (google.com.au)

Storage in liquid nitrogen in the absence of cryoprotectant resulted in variable preservation of dominant microorganisms in enriched samples. (osti.gov)
High values of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD 5 ) and presence of particulate matter and oil and grease in the effluent cause depletion of dissolved oxygen, which has an adverse effect on the aquatic system and also inhibits the activity and growth of microorganisms [ 11 ]. (hindawi.com)

Decay and burial in terrestrial as opposed to marine, and anoxic rather than oxygenated conditions, likewise appear to enhance preservation. (royalsocietypublishing.org)
Selective preservation as a result of decay resistance may explain the initial survival of organic materials in sediments, but in many cases longer-term preservation relies on chemical changes. (royalsocietypublishing.org)
Because they are prone to rapid decay, even complete disappearance, biological materials used in art pose a range of unique conservation challenges. (yalebooks.co.uk)
For this preservation to occur, the organisms must be protected from decay. (wikipedia.org)

The fringelite pigments, a group of phenanthroperylene quinones discovered in purple coloured specimens of the Upper Jurassic crinoid Liliocrinus , demonstrate exceptional preservation of organic compounds in macrofossils. (royalsocietypublishing.org)
The Burgess Shale of British Columbia is famous for its exceptional preservation of mid-Cambrian organisms. (wikipedia.org)
The conventional, exceptionally preserved fossils of the Burgess Shale are supplemented by the shells of organisms which lived on, and burrowed into, the sediment before the exceptional preservation pathway was complete. (wikipedia.org)

With contributions by conservators, scholars, curators, and artists, Living Matter is the first publication to address broadly these provocative issues, exploring the role of biological materials in the creative process and presenting a wide variety of possible approaches to their preservation. (yalebooks.co.uk)
Concomitant with an increasing number of omic experiments now being carried out, the quantity of associated experimental meta-data has reached unprecedented levels and traditional approaches to biological meta-data management are no longer adequate. (springer.com)
We present several examples (including analysis of a new engrailed gene in zebrafish) that appear to be consistent with the DDC model, and we suggest several analytical and experimental approaches for determining whether the complementary loss of gene subfunctions or the acquisition of novel functions are likely to be the primary mechanisms for the preservation of gene duplicates. (genetics.org)
As preservation administrators generate new approaches to saving the scholarly resources in the nation's academic and cultural institutions, they have called for the development of a directed, shared scientific research agenda. (clir.org)

These included: cooling, freezing and chemical preservation. (thescipub.com)
The key processes in food preparation and the chemistry behind them are described in detail, including denaturation and coagulation of proteins, gelatinisation, gelation and retrogradation of starches, thickening and gelling, browning reactions, emulsification, foams and spherification, chemical, mechanical and biological leaveners and fermentation and preservation. (routledge.com)
Explore resources to help prepare for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear hazards. (fema.gov)
This book addresses physical, chemical, and biological methods for the preservation of ancient artifacts. (springer.com)

Microbial growth and metabolism depends on various factors including: pre-slaughter husbandry practices, age of the animal at the time of slaughtering, handling during slaughtering, evisceration and processing, temperature controls during slaughtering, processing and distribution, preservation methods, type of packaging and handling and storage by consumer. (thescipub.com)
While preservation of microbial communities is important for commercialization and research, few studies have examined storage conditions ideal for preservation. (osti.gov)
The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of preservation method on composition of microbial communities enriched on switchgrass before and after storage. (osti.gov)
His research interests include: food nanotechnology, nutraceuticals, microbial technology and the application of modern food preservation technology. (wiley.com)

there is a great need to develop, simple, sensitive, selective and inexpensive methods for the determination of copper in environmental, biological, soil, and industrial samples for continuous monitoring to establish the levels of Cu(II) in environmental and biological matrices. (eco-web.com)
Now in its thoroughly revised, updated Fifth Edition, this volume is a comprehensive, practical reference on contemporary methods of disinfection, sterilization, and preservation and their medical, surgical, and public health applications. (google.com)
Preservation methods included cryopreservation with the cryoprotective agents DMSO and glycerol, and cryopreservation without cryoprotective agents. (osti.gov)
The novel Preservation by Vaporization (PBV) Technology described herein provides cost-effective and efficient industrial scale stabilization of proteins, viruses, bacteria, and other sensitive biologicals, thereby allowing a production of products that are not possible to be produced by existing methods.

Based upon the 10th International Symposium on the Conservation of Monuments in the Mediterranean Basin, this book provides a forum for international engineers, architects, archaeologists, conservators, geologists, art historians and scientists in the fields of physics, chemistry and biology to discuss principles, methods, and solutions for the preservation of global historical artifacts. (springer.com)

This review is focused on understanding of ice nucleation processes and introducing the applications of EF and MF for preservation of food and biological materials. (springer.com)
Scientists and conservation managers are increasingly focusing on the biological impacts of invasive species and on devising management practices that emphasize the health of ecosystems based on measured biological processes. (bioone.org)

A method for hypothermic preservation of biological tissue for later recovery to a viable state includes flushing the biological tissue with a gas mixture of sulfur hexafluoride or xenon and oxygen. (patentsencyclopedia.com)
The most successful technique for the preservation of transplant organs is the hypothermic perfusion of organs with a plasma-containing solution, called perfusate, carefully adjusted to physiological requirements of the organ. (google.com.au)
Interestingly, we found that cellular sensitivity to hypothermic hyperkalaemia was lower in cold-acclimated locusts that were better able to defend V m whilst exposed to high extracellular [K + ]. Together these results demonstrate a mechanism of cold acclimation in locusts that improves survival after cold stress: increased cold tolerance is accomplished by preservation of V m through maintenance of ion homeostasis and decreased K + sensitivity. (biologists.org)

This effort should be considered within the wider context of the reporting requirements for all types of biological samples in metabolomics experiments currently being developed by the Metabolomics Society (http://www.metabolomicssociety.org/)-Metabolomics Standards Initiative (MSI) of which it is part (See Preface, this issue). (springer.com)

Furthermore, a biological sample may also include a physical substrate as a component part. (springer.com)
He teaches food processing and preservation, physical properties of foods and food ingredients. (wiley.com)

Socket grafting is a commonly adopted therapy for the preservation of alveolar bone structures in combination or not with immediate implant placement although the biological bases lying behind this treatment modality are not fully understood and often misinterpreted. (hindawi.com)
Removing the tooth without damaging the alveolar socket can facilitate post-operative healing, ridge preservation techniques and subsequent implant placement. (iti.org)

As these structures are unique to predatory and scavenging arthropods, this form of preservation is limited to - and diagnostic of - such creatures. (wikipedia.org)

Our results provide unequivocal evidence that high-fidelity organic preservation of extremely labile tissues is not only feasible, but likely to be common. (royalsocietypublishing.org)
