nafion is a perfluorinated anionic polyelectrolyte. the increasing popularity of nafion for the fabrication of redox polymer modified electrodes in recent years arises from easy fabrication, good electrical conductivity and high partition coefficients of many redox compounds in nafion. to investigate the production of nano-compositions by mixing electron transfer material and nafion polymer for...

peritoneal adhesions are challenging in abdominal surgery. in spite of different kinds of treatments still no definitive and effective treatment is suggested. to determine the prevention effects of intraperitoneal (ip) methylene blue in post surgical adhesion formation 44 rabbits were randomly divided in two groups of equal number. group i received an intra peritoneal injection of a 1% suspensi...

Dyes such as batik dyes and the textile industry can pollute enviroment, especially receiving water bodies. The use of pineapple biomass waste an adsorbent for removal (methylene blue). Adsorption experiment using were varied in dose, contact time stirring speed. In this study, used consisted pure activated biomass. experimental result showed that masses into 0,5,1,2,5,3, dan 3,5 gr 250 mg/L gl...

We report the synthesis of peroxo titanium carbonate complex solution as a novel water-soluble precursor for the direct synthesis of layered protonated titanate at room temperature. The synthesized titanates showed excellent removal capacity for Pb(2+) and methylene blue. Based on experimental observations, a probable mechanism for the formation of protonated layered dititanate sheets is also d...

The textile industry including batik has provided broad benefits to society from an economic standpoint. However, there is negative impact wastewater generated in the production process, which containing dyes. Various types of dyes are used coloring and methylene blue one most dye. ways have been done treat blue. Methylene processing techniques by adsorption carried out with various adsorbents....

This study was performed to investigate the electrochemical oxidation of a solution containing methylene blue dye by using a tin oxide (SnO2) electrode. The effect of several operating factors such as electrolyte types, current density, initial dye concentration, and pH were investigated by following the discolorationand COD removal. The results show th...

synthetic dyes are among the most common contaminants of the environment. therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of basic blue 41 (bb41) and methylene blue (mb) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. in this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with citric acid (ca) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for remo...

The response of the hexose monophosphate shunt in erythrocytes was studied with the ionization chamber-electrometer apparatus to measure continuously 14CO2 derived from 14C-labeled substrates. The effect of methylene blue at high (0.1 mM) and low (1 muM) concentrations was evaluated under different gas mixtures; air, carbon monoxide, and 6% carbon monoxide in air. The latter gas mixture results...

In neurodegenerative disorders, abnormally hyperphosphorylated and aggregated tau accumulates intracellularly, a mechanism which is thought to induce neuronal cell death. Methylene blue, a type of phenothiazine, has been reported to inhibit tau aggregation in vitro. However, the effect of methylene blue in vivo has remained unknown. Therefore, we examined whether methylene blue suppresses abnor...

Neural stem cell-based treatment holds a new therapeutic opportunity for neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we investigated the effect of methylene blue on proliferation and differentiation of rat neural progenitor cells (NPCs) both in vitro and in vivo. We found that methylene blue inhibited proliferation and promoted quiescence of NPCs in vitro without affecting committed neuronal differentia...
