The overproduction of hydrogen peroxide is implicated in the development of numerous diseases and there is currently great interest in developing contrast agents that can image hydrogen peroxide in vivo. In this report, we demonstrate that nanoparticles formulated from peroxalate esters and fluorescent dyes can image hydrogen peroxide in vivo with high specificity and sensitivity. The peroxalat...

AIMS To evaluate the effects of hydrogen peroxide exposure on the survival and proliferation of cultured lens epithelial cells. METHODS TOTL-86 cells, a line of rabbit lens epithelial cells, were used. The survival and proliferation of TOTL-86 cells were quantified by a rapid colorimetric assay (MTT assay). To determine the effects of hydrogen peroxide, TOTL-86 cells were exposed to different...

objective: the aim of this in vitrostudy was to evaluate the effect of the type of solvent in silane solution on microtensile bond strength of fiber posts to composite resin cores af-ter application of 24% hydrogen peroxide. materials and methods: eighteen white fiber posts, immersed in 24% hydrogen peroxide were divided into three groups (n=6). in the group a post surfaces were silanized with ...

The protective antioxidative effect of the phenolic extract (PE) isolated from Salix viminalis pyrolysis derived bio-oil was shown in vitro on the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Cells pretreated with 0.05 μg/ml PE after exposure to different concentrations of H2O2 (300-900 μM) showed up to 25 % higher viability than the unpretreated ones. The antioxidativ...

background and aims. studies have shown decreased bond strength of composite resin to human and bovine bleached enamel. this study evaluated the effect of sodium ascorbate and delayed bonding on the bond strength of two adhesive systems to bleached enamel. materials and methods. the labial surfaces of 150 sound bovine incisor teeth were abraded with abrasive paper. the teeth were randomly divid...

Objective: Prunus domestica is known for its nutritional values and therapeutic properties. It contains rich amount of natural phenolic phytochemicals such as phenolic acids, flavonoids and anthocyanin. Previous reports suggest that prune extract and juice inhibit peroxidation process. As no detailed antioxidant property, particularly on the whole fruit was studied, in this investigation, we no...
