In a prospective survey, 200 cases of operated chronic dacryocystitis were divided into three groups according to the kind of operation, and the respective results are as follows: Group I includes 100 cases in whom the lacrimal bone was removed (8mm x 8mm) and a 6mm diameter catheter was used (as a duct between the lacrimal sac and nasal cavity). The recurrence rate within one year was 24 ...

Seaweeds are large-scale multicellular marine algae categorized based on color as Chlorophyceae, Rhodophyceae, and Phaeophyceae. No information has been provided the conditions affecting production of mesoporous activated carbon from one member described aquatic plants, namely Sargassum sp. Therefore, this study aimed to determine impact main factors their interactions sp.-derived manufactured ...

purpose: to report a case of free floating pyogenic granuloma within the lacrimal sac. case report: a 13 month old infant with unresolving dacryocystitis and history of two times failed probing and once failed turbinate fracture was scheduled for dacryocystorhinostomy (dcr). a free floating red mass was removed from the sac. histopathologic examination confirmed a diagnosis of pyogenic granulom...

The metabolism, excretion, and pharmacokinetics of S-allyl-l-cysteine (SAC), an active key component of garlic supplements, were examined in rats and dogs. A single dose of SAC was administered orally or i.v. to rats (5 mg/kg) and dogs (2 mg/kg). SAC was well absorbed (bioavailability >90%) and its four metabolites-N-acetyl-S-allyl-l-cysteine (NAc-SAC), N-acetyl-S-allyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide (NA...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the application of salmon atelocollagen (SAC) to a scaffold. SAC has a low denaturation temperature and needs to be cross-linked before being used as a scaffold. In the present study, SAC was cross-linked by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) or dehydrothermal treatment (DHT). The material properties (degree of cross-l...
