The photodynamic action of dyes upon biological systems has been reviewed by Blum (1941). Inactivation of bacteriophage by this process has been studied by Clifton (1931), Perdrau and Todd (1933), Burnet (1933), Morales (1941), and Pacheco and Morales (1941). More recently, Welsh and Adams (1954) and Yamamoto (1956, 1958) investigated the kinetics of photodynamic inactivation of coliphage. In t...

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to investigate morphological and biochemical effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on bladder injury caused by water avoidance stress (WAS) show its effect number degranulated mast cells, which increase after stress. Materials Methods: Wistar albino rats were subjected WAS animals in treatment group injected ALA. After urinary tissues routine tissue proces...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the compatibility of novel nano-calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite/poly-amino acid (n-CDHA/PAA) complex biomaterials with muscle and bone tissue in an in vivo model. METHODS Thirty-two New Zealand white rabbits were used in this study. Biomaterials were surgically implanted into each rabbit in the back erector spinae and in tibia with induced defect. Polyethylene was impla...

To effectively develop and utilize high-quality Tianfu broilers, this study evaluated the morphological structural characteristics of immune organs such broilers with different strains (HS1 HS2) at developmental stages analyzed distribution mast cells by toluidine blue staining. Moreover, localization expression immunoglobulin, complement C3, C4 CD3 in were also detected. The results showed tha...

Gold nanorods conjugated with a hydrophilic photosensitizer, toluidine blue O, acted as dual-function agents in photodynamic inactivation and hyperthermia against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease of the whole joint, with articular cartilage breakdown as major characteristic. Inflammatory mediators, proteases, and oxidants produced by chondrocytes are known to be responsible for driving degradation. Nevertheless, early pathogenic events still unclear. To investigate this, we employed an antibody that specific oxidative post-translation...
