ment which I successfully adopted in five; such cases that came under my care between 1927 and 1930, only one of which had to be operated on. Case 1.?The condition was of 30 hours' duration. The relatives were warned that there was imminent necessity for an operation the next morning, when, to the surprise of myself and the relatives, the patient had a large, loose evacuation at 3 a.m., and was...

Carbon nanofibers (CNF) with diameters of 20-130 nm with different morphologies were obtained from a botanical hydrocarbon: Turpentine oil, using ferrocene as catalyst source and sulfur as a promoter by simple spray pyrolysis method at 1,000 °C. The influence of sulfur concentration on the morphology of the carbon nanofibers was investigated. SEM, TEM, Raman, TGA/DTA, and BET surface area were ...

The present study was aimed at determining whether hepcidin, a recently identified peptide involved in iron metabolism, plays a role in conditions associated with both iron overload and iron deficiency. Hepcidin mRNA levels were assessed in two models of anemia, acute hemolysis provoked by phenylhydrazine and bleeding provoked by repeated phlebotomies. Hepcidin response to hypoxia was also stud...

Among the 7 types of natural solvent mixtures listed as third class solvents in the Ordinance on Prevention of Organic Solvent Poisoning, 5 types (134 samples) of petroleum distillate solvents (PDS) were collected from various parts of Japan in 1986 and 1987, and analyzed for n-hexane, benzene and 4 other aromatics by capillary gaschromatography. In addition, 3 samples of turpentine oil, 1 samp...

Placental glutathione S-transferase (GST-P) immunohistochemical activity in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-induced hamster buccal pouch mucosa (HBPM) was investigated. Equimolar concentrations of 3,4-benzo[a]pyrene (BP), benz[a]anthracene (BA) and 20-methylcholanthrene (MC) in mineral oil solution were applied three times per week for up to 20 weeks to bilateral pouches of the hamsters. ...

INTRODUCTION This article presents the development and evaluation of a new topical formulation of diclofenac diethylamine (DDA) as a locally applied analgesic lotion. METHODS To this end, the lotion formulations were formulated with equal volume of varying concentrations (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%; v/v) of permeation enhancers, namely propylene glycol (PG) and turpentine oil (TO). These lotions were sub...
