A rapid headspace-gas chromatography (HS-GC) method was developed for the analysis of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol in plasma and serum specimens using 1,3-propanediol as the internal standard. The method employed a single-step derivitization using phenylboronic acid, was linear to 200 mg/dL and had a lower limit of quantitation of 1 mg/dL suitable for clinical analyses. The analytical m...

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of two different concentrations of cryoprotectants by Cryotop vitrification on survival and Heat shock protein 72 (Hspa1a) expression of two-cell mouse embryos. Materials and Methods: Different cryoprotectants’ concentrations of the combination of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ethylene glycol (EG) were used and compared with each other...

The study was designed to investigates the therapeutic roles of Crataegus azarolus Var. aronia L. (C. aronia) in kidney stone treatment male albino rats’ model induced by ethylene glycol (EG). Twenty animals weighing 220–270 g were divided into control group which set as A, while rats B and C groups, received 1% EG for 28 days, but also C. (7.5g plant/100ml water 10g plant/ 90 diet) from day 15...

The massive accumulation of industrial waste has become an environmental problem that is very difficult to deal with. In this paper, mullite whisker nanomaterials were developed independently using residues, which used degrade polyurethane (PU) solid by alcoholysis with ethylene glycol (EG) and ethanolamine (ETA) bi-component, modified regenerated polyol materials obtained double synergistic re...

Ethylene glycol is one of the most common toxic alcohol ingestions requiring hemodialysis for treatment. With the FDA approval in 1997 of fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole), the indications for hemodialysis in addition to fomepizole for ethylene glycol poisoning have been examined in recent articles and case reports. Fomepizole, a competitive inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, binds to the same sit...

Cu-based gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) show excellent performance in the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to ethylene. In present work, we evaluate how solvent ink formulations containing Nafion-ionomer and unsupported Cu particles affects polymerized Nafion-copper distribution as-prepared GDE obtained CO2. Isopropanol (IPA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG), or N-methyl-2-pyrro...

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction (CERHR) conducted an evaluation of the potential for ethylene glycol (EG) to cause adverse effects on reproduction and development in humans. EG was selected for evaluation due to recent toxicity and occupational exposure information and widespread exposure in the general public. EG is a small, hydrox...

New forms of vanadium oxide Nanoporous were fabricated using a simple chemical synthesis method. Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) Nanoporous were synthesized by sodium metavanadate as precursor and ethylene glycol as surfactant. The samples were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field effect scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), Four...

The forced convective heat transfer (CHT) coefficient of a particular nanofluid, Al2O3 nanoparticles-ethylene glycol (EG) mixture, was investigated experimentally in a double-pipe heat exchanger. The nanofluid Nusselt number for different nanoparticles’ concentrations as well as various operating temperatures was measured to be increased up to 23.7% using 1.0% wt of nanoparticles. The significa...
