We report herein two cases of intractable atopic dermatitis successfully treated by simply avoiding the contact with surface-active detergents in the daily life and living. The detergents were closely related to the exacerbation and remission of the disease. Steroid ointment was no longer used. We discuss that the removal of horny layer lipids by surface-active detergents accelerates the transe...

Wastewater sludge reduced the heat required to inactivate rotavirus SA-11, and ionic detergents were identified as the sludge components responsible for this effect. A similar result was found previously with reovirus (R. L. Ward and C. S. Ashley, Appl. Environ. Microbiol 36:889-897, 1978). The quantitative effects of individual ionic detergents on rotavirus and reovirus were very different, an...

Washing clothes is an activity that often done by people in the world. However, detergents sold market are harmful to human skin and aquatic ecosystems rivers. Therefore, this research focuses on environmentally friendly can minimize impact environment humans. This study aims develop standard operating procedures (SOP) production of detergents. was conducted developing initial SOP design, simul...

Determination of protein concentration is often an absolute prerequisite in preparing samples for biochemical and proteomic analyses. However, current protein assay methods are not compatible with both reducers and detergents, which are however present simultaneously in most denaturing extraction buffers used in proteomics and electrophoresis, and in particular in SDS electrophoresis. It was fo...
