Mai+mzzsoN : Blood methanol corcentrntlone during experimentally induced ethanol intoxication in alcoholics. J. Pbarmacol. Exp. Ther. 179: 29;300, 1971. Accumulation of methanol in blood was detected in alcoholic subjects during a 10to 15-day period of chronic alcohol intake. Blood methanol levels increa...

BACKGROUND Conventional reprocessing of endoscopes with high-level disinfection is labor intensive, expensive, delays the turnover of instruments, and involves potential exposure of personnel to toxic chemicals. We report a prospective clinical trial with rigorous microbiologic assessment of a novel disposable, sterile, polyurethane sheath, which can be easily and snugly applied over a nasophar...

No data exists on the activity of biocides (antiseptics and disinfectants) on Rhinosporidium seeberi that causes rhinosporidiosis in humans and animals. On account of the inability to culture R. seeberi, in vitro, dyes were used to assess the morphological integrity and viability of biocide-treated endospores that are considered to be the infective stage of this pathogen. Evan's Blue (EvB) iden...

In this study, Nd-doped cobalt oxide (Nd-Co3O4) nanoparticles were prepared by a combustion synthesis procedure using Co(acac)3 complex. The nanoparticles were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Then, the effect of Nd-Co3O4 ...

AIMS Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS) are conjugated ethanol metabolites formed in low amounts after alcohol consumption. Compared with ethanol, EtG and EtS are excreted in urine for a prolonged time, making them useful as sensitive alcohol biomarkers. This study determined the detection times for EtG and EtS in alcoholic patients undergoing alcohol detoxification. METHODS Alco...

DSSC (Dye Sensitized Solar Cell) uses dye as a sensitizer material which is used an electron donor to TiO2 nanoparticles and electrolyte transport medium. One of the extracts purple spinach moringa leaves photosensitizer chlorophyll extract or anthocyanin. The nature able absorb light function in DSSC. Making Moringa leaf red after being blended, dried ground into powder. Then powder was mixed ...

The objective of the present study was to examine the influence of cosolvent system and microemulsion formulation on in-vitro skin permeation of gabapentin, furthermore, to characterize the physicochemical properties of drug-loaded oil-in-water (o/w) and water-in-oil (w/o) cremophor 40-based microemulsions in comparison to the blank counterparts. The cosolvent system prepared by homogenous mixi...

Dynamic membrane trafficking of the monoamine dopamine transporter (DAT) regulates dopaminergic signaling. Various intrinsic and pharmacological modulators can alter this trafficking. Previously we have shown ethanol potentiates in vitro DAT function and increases surface expression. However, the mechanism underlying these changes is unclear. In the present study, we found ethanol directly regu...

conclusions in this study, we isolated b. licheniformis producing an organic solvent-stable protease from oil-contaminated soil. the protease was stable and active in various organic solvents. by purification, the protease could be used as a biocatalyst for organic solvent-based enzymatic synthesis. results according to 16srdna sequencing, strain isa9 was identified as a new strain of bacillus ...
