In comparison to the starting conditions activity could even be increased by a factor of 50.
The introduction of siloxane aliphatic moieties induced a decrease in the glass transition temperature (Tg) values of the obtained products in comparison to the starting polysulfone.
In comparison to the starting pH, there was a reduction in the pH of the nutrient medium in the following treatments: Ca P/Pro, RP, RP/Pro, RP/Rhiz, SA, SA/Pro, SA/Rhiz and SA/T-22 (Fig. 8a).
The purification factor was calculated by comparison to the starting exudate.
In this respect, the reduced molecular weight of the polymer led to a significant difference in water uptake and anisotropic elongation in comparison to the starting GG sample.
The experimentally observed reversibility of the C H activation step and the short lifetime of the C H activation products indicate that the C H activation products have higher energies in comparison to the starting structures leading to their formation.
In comparison to the starting fetal samples, initial albumin secretion was ∼5-fold higher and urea secretion approximately 10-fold higher (100 mg/mL versus 10 mg/mL) in adult cells.
These findings were considered sufficient for the comparison study to start.
As expected, patients initiating ART with a CD4 cell count of >100 cells/µl had a significantly higher median CD4 cell count in comparison to patients started on ART at a CD4 cell count of ≤100 cells/µl throughout the follow-up period (Figure 4).
