Evaluating Graft Material Ionic Release

A sample of 0.5 g from each graft material was added to 10 mL of PBS and maintained in a drying oven (INB 400, Memmert, Germany) at 37°C. The samples were collected on days 3, 7, and 14. On day 3, PBS containing 0.5 g graft materials was centrifuged (AllegraTM, X-22R, Beckman Coulter, CA, USA) at 1,000 rpm for 5 min and 10 mL of supernatant was obtained. The unchanged lot of 10 mL PBS was added to the same 0.5 g of graft materials, then stored for another four days. After 7 days, PBS containing 0.5 g graft materials was centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 5 min and 10 mL of supernatant was obtained. The same procedure was repeated, and the sample was stored for another 7 days.
At each time interval, the same lot PBS was used as the blanks for measuring amounts of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) ions presence and compared with the amounts of Ca and P ions from PBS containing 0.5 g graft materials. The representative amounts of Ca and P ions released in the supernatant were once measured at days 3, 7, and 14 by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) (7500ce models, Agilent) and ion chromatography (IC) (ICS-3000 models, DIONEX), respectively.

Counting Bacterial Colony Forming Units

Different agar plates were prepared for the characterization of CFU samples. Table 2 provides the agar media used for the different bacteria species. The plating was performed under aseptic conditions. Samples from the time points 0, 12 and 24 h were plated out. The cryo samples were diluted with sterilized peptone water according to the following dilution series. The dilution series was performed in steps of ten from 1 to 1 million. For each dilution, 20 µL was plated on each agar medium. The inoculated agar plates were incubated for two days under aerobic conditions (INB 400, Memmert GmbH, Schwabach, Germany) at 33 °C or under anaerobic conditions (Whitley A35 Anaerobic Workstation, Don Whitley Scientific, Bingley, UK) at 37 °C for five days. The CFU were determined by counting. The plate sections with the highest concentration and greatest bacterial growth, ranging from 3 to 90 colonies, were used for counting. CFU/mL was calculated using the following Equation (1). A sample volume of 20 µL was used (‘50’) and the sample was mixed with glycerol in a ratio of 1:2 (‘2’).

Isolation and Purification of Yeast Strains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two methods were tested for the isolation of yeast strains. The method of successive dilutions on yeast peptone dextrose Agar (YPDA) medium [19] (link) included spreading with a glass spreader, alongside an incubation period between three to seven days at 28 °C (Memmert INB 400, Germany). After macroscopic and microscopic observation, purification was carried out by streaking on yeast extract malt extract agar (YMA) medium and incubated until pure isolates were obtained. The pure strains were stored at 4 °C in sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) supplemented with chloramphenicol and in yeast extract malt extract (YM) medium supplemented with 30% glycerol at −20 °C.
The enrichment method was also used for isolation. This is a procedure in which 2 mL of thermal water inoculum as the source of yeast strains was incubated in 50 mL YM broth using 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks at 30 °C on a rotary shaker (Stuart SI500, UK) at 150 rpm for 24 hours. After incubation, the spread was performed on YM agar, YGA, and SDA, and incubated at 28 °C for three to seven days [10] (link).

Moisture Content Determination in Dried Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The fresh samples (50 g) were dried in a conventional oven (INB 400, Memmert) at 105°C for 24 h. Moisture content (based on fresh weight) was obtained using Equation (1): Mw=WwWdWw×100,
Mw: moisture weight based on fresh weight (%), Ww: fresh weight (g), and Wd: dry weight (g).

Quantification of Colon and Lymph Node ROS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ROS concentration in colon and mesenteric lymph nodes was quantified using the method described by [24 (link)]. Frozen colon and mesenteric lymph nodes samples (100 mg) were homogenized (1:10 w/v) in 1 mL of ice-cold Tris-HCl buffer (40 mM, pH = 7.4), using UltraTurrax homogenizer (IKAWerke GmbH &Co. KG, Staufen, Germany). 100 μl of tissue homogenates were mixed with 1 mL of Tris-HCl buffer and 5 μl of 10 μM DFCA DA (2`,7`-dichlorofluorescein diacetate, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Another pool of 100 μl of tissue homogenate were mixed with 1 mL of Tris-HCl buffer and used as control of tissue autofluorescence. The samples were incubated for 40 minutes at 37 ˚C, with agitation (Precision Incubators INB 400, Memmert GmbH, Schwabach, Germany). After incubation, 200 μl of each sample was transferred in 96-well optical-bottom plates (Nunc, Thermo Fischer Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), in duplicate. The ROS analysis was performed in triplicate for each sample. The fluorescence intensity of the samples was measured using Varioskan™ LUX multimode microplate readerexcitation = 485 nm and λemission = 525 nm) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
