A simple, rapid and sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of trace amounts of silver ion in the concentration ranges of 2–20 and 20–50 μg L–1. The proposed method is based on the catalytic effect of Ag(I) on the oxidation reaction of new fuchsin by potassium peroxodisulfate in the presence of 1,10-phenantroline as an activator at pH:5.0. The reaction is f...

AIM The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the cervical microleakage and internal voids of nanocomposites comparing them with a hybrid composite in Class II restorations with the margins located coronal and apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). METHODS AND MATERIALS Standardized MOD cavities (one cervical margin located in dentin, one in enamel) were prepared in 40 extracted ...

In the present study, five naphthalene-based azo dyes were obtained using classical azo coupling reactions. The structure of the dyes was characterized and confirmed by the UV-vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR analyses. The solvatochromic behavior of the dyes was studied in a set of 10 solvents with different polarity and considerable results were obtained. The dyes were applied as disperse dyes t...

Mn loaded AC (Mn/AC), Cu (Cu/AC), and Fe (Fe/AC) catalysts were prepared by the impregnation-calcination method, which can be used to degrade Basic Yellow 28 dyes in simulated printing dyeing wastewater for catalytic ozonation. The catalyst preparation reaction conditions optimized with degradation efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) absorbance some organic compounds under 254 nm UV ligh...

Objective. This study evaluated the effect of immediate or delayed finishing/polishing using different systems on the surface roughness, hardness, and microleakage of a silorane-based composite. Material and Methods. Specimens were made with silorane-based composite (Filtek P90, 3M ESPE) and assigned to the treatments: control (light-cured); aluminum oxide discs (Sof-Lex, 3M ESPE); diamond-impr...

In the present study, Juglans regia shells were used to prepare activated carbon by acid treatment method. J. regia shell-based activated carbon was used for the adsorption of two synthetic dyes namely, a basic dye malachite green and an acid dye amido black 10B. The prepared adsorbent was crushed and sieved to three different mesh sizes 100, 600 and 1,000 lm. The adsorbent was characterized by...

The therapeutic effect of dye compounds with antibacterial activity was evaluated in a silkworm model of Staphylococcus aureus infection. Among 13 chromogenic agents that show antibacterial activity against S. aureus (MIC = 0.02 to 19 μg/mL), rifampicin had a therapeutic effect. The ED(50) value in the silkworm model was consistent with that in a murine model. Other 12 dyes did not increase sur...

SUMMARY The saline-soluble proteins of rat liver nuclei have been cx tensively resolved into profiles according to charge, permitting comparison with similar arrays from liver cytoplasm. Nuclei were isolated in 2.1 M sucrose solution from the per fused livers of rats fed stock, control, or hepatocarcinogenic 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene diet. After feeding the 320 dye for 20 days, the nu...

Labeling of metastatic tumors can aid in their staging and resection of cancer. Near infrared (NIR) dyes have been used in the clinic for tumor labeling. However, there can be a nonspecific uptake of dye by the liver, lungs, and lymph nodes, which hinders detection of metastasis. In order to overcome these problems, we have used two NIR dyes (DyLight 650 and 750) conjugated to a chimeric anti-c...

The use of reactive dyes has increased rapidly due to outstanding properties, growing consumption of cellulosic fibers, and decrease in the production of other application classes of dyes for cellulosics because of cost and health hazards. However, reactive dyes cause the greatest effluent problems for the dye industry. This study explored reusing these dyes in which the residual dyeings were d...
