Anti-Prion Activity of Brilliant Blue G
BACKGROUND Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders with no effective therapy currently available. Accumulating evidence has implicated over-activation of P2X7 ionotropic purinergic receptor (P2X7R) in the progression of neuronal loss in several neurodegenerative diseases. This has led to the speculation that simultaneous blockade of this receptor and prion replication can be an eff...
متن کاملBrilliant Blue G assisted Epiretinal Membrane Surgery
We report intensely staining epiretinal membrane (ERM) with Brilliant Blue G (BBG) under air for two minutes. ERM peeling was performed in 21 cases. After removal of posterior hyaloid, 0.2 mL BBG was first applied on the macula, to stain ERM under air conditions for 2 minutes. Internal limiting membrane (ILM) was intensely stained and peeled in all cases following ERM removal. In 4 cases, the E...
متن کاملAdsorption of Methylene Blue, Bromophenol Blue, and Coomassie Brilliant Blue by α-chitin nanoparticles
Expelling of dyestuff into water resource system causes major thread to the environment. Adsorption is the cost effective and potential method to remove the dyes from the effluents. Therefore, an attempt was made to study the adsorption of dyestuff (Methylene Blue (MB), Bromophenol Blue (BPB) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB)) by α-chitin nanoparticles (CNP) prepared from Penaeus monodon (Fabr...
متن کاملContrast recognizability during brilliant blue G - and heavier-than-water brilliant blue G-assisted chromovitrectomy: a quantitative analysis.
PURPOSE To evaluate the potential of heavier-than-water brilliant blue G (BBG-D(2) 0) to stain the internal limiting membrane (ILM) during chromovitrectomy. METHODS In a nonrandomized, prospective, clinical multicentre study, 71 consecutive chromovitrectomy interventions in 71 patients were analysed. During routine 23-gauge vitrectomy, conventional 0.25 mg/ml BBG was employed in 21 and 0.25 m...
متن کاملHabituation of neurosecretory responses to extracellular ATP in PC12 cells.
Neuronally differentiated PC12 cells have been used as a model for habituation. These cells secrete norepinephrine in response to extracellular ATP, as well as other stimulants, and the response is diminished with repetitive stimulation. This loss of neurosecretory responsiveness displays characteristics commonly associated with habituative learning. These include an increase in both the rate a...
