Aim this study was to determine the prevalence of brucellosis in various occupations in Northern State, Sudan, during 2012. A total of 753 serum samples (from 21 veterinarian, 39 meat inspectors, 407 abattoir workers and 286 animal handlers) in different localities were collected and screened for brucella antibodies by using Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), Serum Agglutination Test (SAT) and 2 Me...

A study was performed in 2008 to estimate the prevalence of tuberculosis and brucellosis in traditionally reared cattle of Southern Province in Zambia in four districts. The single comparative intradermal tuberculin test (SCITT) was used to identify TB reactors, and the Rose Bengal test (RBT), followed by confirmation with competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (c-ELISA), was used to tes...

Pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline alkaloids have been prepared via a visible light photoredox catalyzed oxidation/[3 + 2] cycloaddition/oxidative aromatization cascade using Rose Bengal as an organo-photocatalyst. A variety of pyrroloisoquinolines have been obtained in good yields under mild and metal-free reaction conditions.

Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonosis affecting livestock and human beings. The human disease lacks pathognomonic symptoms and laboratory tests are essential for its diagnosis. However, most tests are difficult to implement in the areas and countries were brucellosis is endemic. Here, we compared the simple and cheap Rose Bengal Test (RBT) with serum agglutination, Coombs, competitive ELI...

BACKGROUND Brucellosis is considered the most important zoonosis in Jordan with high prevalence among man and livestock. METHODS This study was carried out on high risk people in 1992 in order to assess the seroprevalence of brucellosis in northern Jordan. The sera of 1236 individuals (636 at high risk and 600 controls) were evaluated using the Rose Bengal plate agglutination test (RBPT) and ...

36 LLE Review, Volume 77 Photodynamic therapy is a treatment in which the combination of a dye, light, and oxygen causes photochemically induced cell death. Observations of this effect occurred at least as early as the end of the last century. In 1900, Raab reported that the dye acridine rapidly killed paramecia when exposed to light, but had no effect in the dark.1 This observation quickly ins...

Intralesional (IL) therapy is under investigation to treat dermal and subcutaneous metastatic cancer. Rose Bengal (RB) is a staining agent that was originally used by ophthalmologists and in liver function studies. Previously, IL injection of RB induced regression of injected and uninjected tumors in murine models. However, the relevant mechanism is yet unknown. In this study, we used an OVA-ex...

We used molecular dynamics (MD) techniques to examine the encapsulation of Bengal Rose (BR) molecules in the Meijer dendrimer box (DBox) formed by the addition of tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-Phe (tBOC-L-Phe) cap molecules to the 64 terminal primary amines of a fifth generation poly(propyleneimine) (PPI-5) dendrimer. Using a large periodic box (including DBox, four to six BR, and CH2Cl2 solvent, tot...
