Abstract Dicarboxylic amino acid-based surfactants ( N -dodecyl derivatives of -aminomalonate, -aspartate, and -glutamate) in combination with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) form a variety aggregates. Composition concentration-dependent mixtures exhibit liquid crystal, gel, precipitate, clear isotropic phases. Liquid crystalline patterns, formed by surfactant mixtures, were identifie...

background t-2 toxin is a mycotoxin, exposure to which causes dermal and systemic toxicity. crataegus pontica (a member of the rosaceous family) is a small tree with caduceus foliage that is widely distributed throughout the western and central areas of iran. objectives this study was performed to examine the healing effects of creams prepared using crataegus pontica leaf extract on dermal toxi...

BACKGROUND Exposure to ammonium persulfate (AP) has been reported to be the main cause of occupational asthma in hairdressers. The aim of this study is to assess how long the asthmatic response to AP can be induced after dermal sensitization in a mouse model. METHODS BALB/c mice received dermal applications of AP or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) (control) on days 1 and 8. They then received a sing...

Cells therapies, engineered to secrete replacement proteins, are being developed to ameliorate otherwise debilitating diseases. Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is caused by defects of type VII collagen, a protein essential for anchoring fibril formation at the dermal-epidermal junction. Whereas allogeneic fibroblasts injected directly into the dermis can mediate transient dise...

A popular and effective management option for adult mosquitoes is the use of insecticides applied by ultra-low-volume (ULV) equipment. However, there is a paucity of data on human dermal exposure to insecticides applied by this method. The objective of the current study was to estimate dermal exposures to the insecticide active ingredient permethrin using water- (Aqua-Reslin®) and oil-based (Pe...

With implementation of the dermal sensitization QRA approach for fragrance ingredients, IFRA/RIFM are recommending use of the RIFM standard human repeated insult patch test (HRIPT) protocol for generation of confirmatory human data for the induction of dermal sensitization in a normal human population. Details of this standard HRIPT protocol are provided in this paper. The study protocol consis...

Biodegradable synthetic vascular networks are produced via the combination of robocasting and electrospinning techniques. Preliminary revascularization studies using microvascular endothelial cells and human dermal fibroblasts show good attachment and uniform distribution within the vascular networks, highlighting their potential use in vascular tissue engineering applications.

the last decade has ushered in a rapidly expanding global discussion regarding acellular dermal matrix (adm) applications, economic analyses, technical considerations, benefits, and risks, with recent emphasis on adm use in breast surgery. this study aims to evaluate global trends in adm research using bibliometric analysis. the top nine plastic surgery journals were determined by impact factor...
