Recently, numerous compounds have been studied in order to develop antibacterial agents, which can prevent colonized wounds from infection, and assist the wound healing. For this purpose, novel silver chloride nanoparticles stabilized with chitosan oligomer (CHI-AgCl NPs) were synthesized to investigate the influence of antibacterial chitosan oligomer (CHI) exerted by the silver chloride nanopa...

We have examined the effects of venom from the scorpion Pandinus imperator on the membrane currents of voltage-clamped frog myelinated nerve fibers using the Vaseline-gap method. Crude venom, applied externally in concentrations from 50 to 500 micrograms/ml, selectively blocked the voltage-gated potassium currents without affecting nodal sodium currents or resting conductances. Block of potassi...

Cultures of Tritrichomonas augusta, generously provided by Professor William Balamuth, were grown in Diamond's medium (6) modified by omission of agar. Because the organisms are anaerobic, the culture tubes were sealed with a mixture of vaseline and paraffin to exclude oxygen. 4-day cultures were fixed for 2 hr at 4°C in 5% glutaraldehyde-2% acrolein in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer with a final pH o...

The process of premature aging is a physiological that will occur in every living thing most visible on the skin. Recent studies proved can be prevented by using anti-aging cosmetics containing antioxidants. Natural origins antioxidant are more desirable than synthetic one as they have benefits and guaranteed safety. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) well-known with its excellent activity abundance avai...
