Purpose Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is a systemic autoimmune disorder that affects organs with melanocytes. The sunset glow fundus (SGF) in VKH disease was evaluated with polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). Methods The study involved 28 eyes from 14 patients with chronic VKH disease, 21 eyes from 21 age-matched controls, and 22 eyes from 22 high-myopic patient...

Zinc oxide nanoflower (ZnONF) was synthesized by a simple process and was used to construct a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of sunset yellow (SY). Due to the large surface area and high accumulation efficiency of ZnONF, the ZnONF-modified carbon paste electrode (ZnONF/CPE) showed a strong enhancement effect on the electrochemical oxidation of SY. The electrochemical ...

There is no standard for high-visibility safety clothing general pedestrians, nor it widely used. Therefore, this study investigated visibility in order to examine the standards pedestrians. Methods: Twenty healthy participants (mean age, 22.4 ± 4.4 years) without ocular disease, except refractive errors, were studied. All had visual acuity corrected vision. This assumed sunset conditions Japan...

The electrocoagulation (EC) is a simple and efficient method for the treatment of many water and wastewaters.The kinetics of decolorization of Acid Yellow 23 by EC using iron electrodes was studied. Theelectrodecolorization rate follows pseudo-first order kinetic with respect to the AY23 concentration havingkapp= 5.65 cm min-1 at T= 295 K. The rate equation is as follows:ln [AY23]t – ln [AY23]0...

Interfacial polymerization of polyamide was conducted using hydrophobic and hydrophilic membrane support. The effects monomer concentration were investigated, the resulting thin-film composite membranes tested for their performance in dye removal different flow configurations. results showed that a dense layer successfully formed on support, while with very loose structure became smoother more ...

Incorporation of the coloring agent, tartrazine and curcumin affects healthy physiological system leading to changes in hematology, biochemistry enzymatic activity. Consequences oral administration were explored for 15, 30 45 days female adult rat. Two doses based on admissible daily intake (ADI) 9.6 96 (high) mg/kg/body weight tartrazine, 3.85 38.5 curcumin. Phytochemicals such as saponins, gl...

Tartrazine is one of the most widely used artificial foods, drugs and cosmetic dyes. It is a nitrous derivative and is known to cause allergic reactions such as asthma and urticaria, as well as having been the focus of studies on mutagenesis and carcinogenesis due to its transformation into aromatic amine sulfanilic acid after being metabolized by the gastrointestinal microflora. 45 male Wistar...

Rats. Five groups of 24 Osborne-Mendel weanling rats, evenly divided by sex, were fed 5.0, 2.0, 1.0, 0.5, and 0.0% tartrazinemixed in their Purina laboratory chow diet for 2 years. Growth effect was negligible, and there was no effect on survival, hematology, or organ weights. The rats evidenced diarrhea at the 5% dosage level, slight diarrhea at the 2% level, and no diarrhea at the 1% level. T...
