Laundry Bluing Effect on Performance Attributes of African Prints
J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res., 11(4)1-8, 2021 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2021, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com Laundry Bluing Effect on Performance Attributes of African Prints Patience Danquah Monnie*1, Celestine Tawiah Bosso2 1*Department of Vocational and Technical Education, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana. 2Department of Family and Consumer Sciences, University of Ghana, Legon, Ghana. Received: January 7, 2021 Accepted: April 19, 2021 ABSTRACT During the process of care of garments, various agents or additives are employed such as fabric softeners, spray starch and bluing. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of laundry blue on selected performance properties of white Ghanaian cotton printed fabrics. With the aid of experimental procedures the study was carried out using three different types of black and white Ghanaian cotton printed fabrics. The total number of specimens used for the study was 264. The parameters investigated included weight, tensile strength and elongation, colourfastness to washing and dimensional stability (shrinkage) to washing. The data was analysed using Predictive Analytical Software (SPSS) for windows Version 22. Means of parameters such as yarn count, weight, strength and elongation were calculated. Inferential statistics (Analysis of Variance and Independent samples t-test at 0.05 alpha levels) were employed in testing the hypotheses. Differences were observed with specimens rinsed with and without laundry blue in terms of strength, elongation, shrinkage and colourfastness. Further research is recommended for analysis of laundry blue on other fabrics. KEYWORDS: Bluing, whitening effects, colour fastness, dimensional change, tensile strength, African prints. -

Eosin Staining
Science of H & E Andrew Lisowski, M.S., HTL (A.S.C.P.) 1 Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining “The desired end result of a tissue stained with hematoxylin and eosin is based upon what seems to be almost infinite factors. Pathologists have individual preferences for section thickness, intensities, and shades. The choice of which reagents to use must take into consideration: cost, method of staining, option of purchasing commercially-prepared or technician-prepared reagents, safety, administration policies, convenience, availability, quality, technical limitations, as well as personal preference.” Guidelines for Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining National Society for Histotechnology 2 Why Do We Stain? In order to deliver a medical diagnosis, tissues must be examined under a microscope. Once a tissue specimen has been processed by a histology lab and transferred onto a glass slide, it needs to be appropriately stained for microscopic evaluation. This is because unstained tissue lacks contrast: when viewed under the microscope, everything appears in uniform dull grey color. Unstained tissue H&E stained tissue 3 What Does "Staining" Do? . Contrasts different cells . Highlights particular features of interest . Illustrates different cell structures . Detects infiltrations or deposits in the tissue . Detect pathogens Superbly contrasted GI cells Placenta’s large blood H&E stain showing extensive vessels iron deposits There are different staining techniques to reveal different structures of the cell 4 What is H&E Staining? As its name suggests, H&E stain makes use of a combination of two dyes – hematoxylin and eosin. It is often termed as “routine staining” as it is the most common way of coloring otherwise transparent tissue specimen. -

Troubleshooting H&E Stain
Melinda M. Chow, MS, HT(ASCP)CM Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Basking Ridge, New Jersey Hematoxylin & Eosin staining is the most frequent routine stain in the Mohs Micrographic Surgery tissue preparation. It has stood the test of time as the standard stain for histologic examination of human tissues since it was independently introduced in 1865 and 1875, by Böhmer and Fischer respectively. Common problems, pitfalls and troubleshooting tips. H & E is the primary diagnostic technique for evaluation of morphology in the histopathology labs. One of the best nuclear stains. H & E provides easier identification of histological features than T-blue. It is easy and simple to use. Stains are inexpensive, yet reliable and informative. It is stable and durable stain, lasting years without fading Hematoxylin is a natural dye extracted from the heartwood of logwood trees which is indigenous in Central America, Caribbean and other tropical countries. It is misleading to call hematoxylin stain as it alone does not stain. It has to convert to hematein. Hematein is what we call hematoxylin. It is a basic dye and carries a (+) charge. Affinity for basic dye is called basophilic. Hematein Chromatin (+) charge (-) charge Mordant (Al+3,Fe+3,Chr+3) This complex is held by covalent bonds Hematein-mordant-chromatin complex Courtesy of Biotek Progressive vs regressive Progressive stains are: Gill’s (I-III), Mayer’s Regressive stains are Harris's, Delafield's, Ehrlich's Progressive method : tissue is stained and stopped Regressive method: tissue is overstained Eosin is a synthetic stain It is the counterstain and acts as an acid dye. -
Induced Osteogenesis in Plants Decellularized Scaffolds
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Induced Osteogenesis in Plants Decellularized Scafolds Jennifer Lee1,4, Hyerin Jung2,3,4, Narae Park2,3, Sung-Hwan Park1 & Ji Hyeon Ju1,2,3* A three-dimensional (3D) culture system that closely replicates the in vivo microenvironment of calcifying osteoid is essential for in vitro cultivation of bone-like material. In this regard, the 3D cellulose constructs of plants may well serve as scafolds to promote growth and diferentiation of osteoblasts in culture. Our aim in this study was to generate bone-like tissue by seeding pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), stimulated to diferentiate as osteoblasts in culture, onto the decellularised scafolds of various plants. We then assessed expression levels of pertinent cellular markers and degrees of calcium- specifc staining to gauge technical success. Apple scafolding bearing regular pores of 300 μm seemed to provide the best construct. The bone-like tissue thus generated was implantable in a rat calvarial defect model where if helped form calcifed tissue. Depending on the regularity and sizing of scafold pores, this approach readily facilitates production of mineralized bone. It is well established that three-dimensional (3D), rather than two-dimensional (2D), culture ofers a microenvi- ronment closer to in vivo conditions, better enabling in vitro development of organoids. Similar with other organs, there is a growing clinical need for bone organoids, which may be particularly suitable substitutes for less available autologous bone grafs, helping to repair critical bony injuries or congenital defects. Unfortunately, current engi- neering techniques involving bone are largely restricted to 3D culture of osteoblasts. Hence, the term ‘bone-like tissue’ seems more apt than ‘bone organoid’. -

Opinions or points of view expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice. Abstract Fingerprints are the most common and useful physical evidence for the apprehension and conviction of crime perpetrators. Fluorogenic reagents for detecting and enhancing fingerprints in blood, however, have several associated challenges. For instance, they are generally unsuitable for dark and multi-colored substrates. Luminol and fluorescin and other chemilumigens and fluorigens can be used with dark and often multi-colored substrates, but are not compatible with fixatives and their oxidation products are not insoluble. -
