the purpose of this study was to determine the therapeutic efficacy of citric and tartaric acids on experimental dermatophytosis in guinea pigs. in this study, the susceptibility of trichophyton mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes to citric and tartaric acids was assessed using the macrodilution broth method. in the animal experiments, a cream consisting of the mixed acids was topically applied ...

Gastroesophageal acid reflux into the airways can trigger asthma attacks. Indeed, citric acid inhalation causes bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs, but the mechanism of this effect has not been fully clarified. We investigated the role of tachykinins, bradykinin, and nitric oxide (NO) on the citric acid- induced bronchoconstriction in anesthetized and artificially ventilated guinea pigs. Citric...

An improved chemical regeneration of the granular activated carbon (GAC) exhausted by the color (pigments and pollutants) from citric acid fermentation solution (CAF) was investigated. In the experiments, improved means were adopted to advance the traditional chemical regenerating method and the adsorption capacity of the first time renewed GAC is 103% of original GAC. Using oxidan...

Background and objectives: Aloe vera has been used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years. Aloe vera leaves can be separated into latex and gel which have biological effects. Aloe gel is a potent source of polysaccharides. When the gel is exposed to air, it quickly decomposes and decays and loses most of its biological activity. There are various processin...

Various procedures have been described for the segregation of nuclei from mammalian tissues (1, 92,3, 4, 5, 6). These methods are based on a mechanical breakdown of the cells suspended in aqueous solutions of citric acid, with subsequent separation of the nuclei by centrifugation at dif ferent speeds. In our work with mouse spleens we have inves tigated other reagents but so far, we have not be...

The acid-soluble nuclear proteins of regenerating and thioacetamide-treated rat livers as well as the Morris 9618A hepatoma and the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma were ex tracted from citric acid-isolated nuclei with 0.4 N H2SO4. The nuclear extracts were analyzed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Although most of the protein spots were common to the livers and tumors stud ied, ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of using Citric Acid on false negative rates induced by PPIs during 14C–UBT in dyspeptic patients with H. pylori infection. In a crossover randomized controlled clinical trial, one hundred dyspeptic patients (46 females and 54 males) with determined H. pylori infection who referred to gastrointestinal Outpatient Clinic of Razi Hospital-Rasht, ...
