Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely used, and many biologically active molecules are modified with oligoethylene glycol substituents to enhance their half-lives in circulation. The pervasive use of PEG substituents is partly due to their presumed inertness. Our investigation of formyl peptide receptor (FPR)-mediated chemotaxis reveals that oligoethylene glycol substitution can enhance the abili...

Wheat is an important cereal crop worldwide that often suffers from moisture deficits at the reproductive stage. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-treated hydroponic conditions create negative osmotic potential which is compared with moisture deficit stress. An experiment was conducted in a growth chamber to study the effects of PEG on root hair morphology and associated traits of wheat varieties. Plan...

Colonoscopy is the current standard method for evaluation of the colon. The diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic safety of colonoscopy depend on the quality of colonic cleansing and preparation. Generally, all these preparations have been demonstrated to be safe for use in healthy individuals without significant comorbid conditions. Based on safety and efficacy concerns, polyethylene glycol (PEG...

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) electrolyte solution, Golytely, is an osmotic laxative commonly used in preoperative bowel cleansing. In this case report, a 9-year-old boy developed aspiration pneumonitis following accidental infusion of PEG solution into his right lung following migration of his nasogastric tube (NGT). Hypoxemia and tachypnea without respiratory failure were observed after infusion....

Drought stress can have a significant influence on the reduction of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and development. This study investigated morpho-physiological, abscisic (ABA) salicylic (SA) acids' responses six winter varieties (Rujana, Silvija, Fifi, Bubnjar, Anđelka Pepeljuga) during germination seedling stage. Plants were exposed to 10 20% polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution for seven ...

A simple, rapid, and precise dynamic coating capillary electrophoretic separation method for water-soluble humic substances is proposed. An aqueous solution containing hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and pH buffer component was employed for both the dynamic coating agent and the separation medium. The procedure for the coating of the capillary inner wall was simply fill...

the performances of two-phase polymer-liquid pebax®/polyethylene glycol (peg) and three-phase polymer-liquid-solid pebax®/peg/mwnt thin film composite membranes for co2 and ch4 permeation were studied. the effect of temperature and mwnt/pebax® ratio on single gas (co2 and ch4) permeability was investigated. the permeation of both gases was measured at different temperatures from 303 to 323 ˚k. ...

in the past decades, many methods have been developed to synthesize zero- dimensional  nanoparticles, quasi–one–dimensional (1d) cuo nanostructures, such as metal organic deposition technique,  microwave irradiation, sol-gel-like dip  technique, reverse micelle-assisted route, chemical method, and simple template free solution route. among those synthesis methods, hydrothermal and chemical reac...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Although polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution is commonly used for colonoscopic bowel preparation because of its safety and effectiveness, its salty taste decreases patient's compliance. The aim of this study was to compare the sugared PEG solution with the standard PEG solution in regard to the quality of bowel preparation and patient's compliance. METHODS From January through ...
