Click on PDF to download from Part 3 2023: [10.23] The first successful transplant of a functional cryopreserved mammalian kidney was reported. The study demonstrated a "nano-warming" technique for vitrification for up-to-100 days preservation of transplant organs. Sourced from [frontiersin.org] titled: “Supercooling: a promising technique for prolonged preservation in solid organ transplantation, and early perspectives in vascularized composite allografts.” From the perspective of temperature, machine perfusion can be classified into four categories: HMP “hypothermic machine perfusion” (0°C to 12°C), MMP “mid-thermic machine perfusion” (13°C to 24°C), SNMP “subnormothermic machine perfusion” (25°C to 34°C), and NMP “normothermic machine perfusion” (35°C to 38°C). As metabolic activity increases exponentially with increasing temperature, the required amount of oxy...
Article: Health My Blog Title: Rice and sweetness Rice is actually sweet. You wouldn't feel this sweetness with your tonge unless you chew just the cooked rice. Just chew and don't eat with your food. A couple of chews, you would feel the sugar component taste with your tonge. What is the quantity of sugar in a bowl of cooked rice? Science will explain. In simple term, our body needs energy to walk, run and move about. In metabolic term, the energy comes from sugars or blood sugar or glucose, and fiber and starches, which is the process that our body converts food and drink into energy to power the growth of tissues, organs and cells. Yet the energy shall be in balance between sugar, fiber and starches in our body, otherwise there would be excess and deficiency of the energy production of proteins for each body's function. Fruits, vegetables and meats, grains, wheats, cereal and diary products contain various vitamins, minerals, fiber, and sugar. So if we eat the food tha...
