trichomoniasis, the most widespread sexually transmitted disease is caused by trichomonas vaginalis. this parasite is site specific for the genitourinary tract and recruitment of macrophages as well as polymorphonuclear nutrophils (pmn) to the site of infection is the first line of defense as a component of non-specific resistance and immunity. in this study, balb/c mice were infected with 10 i...

Highly uniform 3-D ordered macroporous spheres in regular arrays were produced by a double templating process. The first template of larger silica balls produced the polymer skeleton for guiding the shape and size of the self-assembled superstructure of smaller polymeric balls, which are introduced subsequently into the internal space of the skeleton. The second templating with inorganic precur...

BACKGROUND Insufficient data exist on the production of compound A during closed-system sevoflurane administration with newer carbon dioxide absorbents. METHODS A modified PhysioFlex apparatus (Dräger, Lübeck, Germany) was connected to an artificial test lung (inflow at the top of the bellow approximately/= 160 ml/min CO2; outflow at the Y piece of the lung model approximately/= 200 ml/min, s...

The present study aimed to investigate the feasibility of blended amine absorbents in improving CO2 alkanolamine-based absorption multicycle integrated absorption–mineralization (multicycle IAM) under standard operating conditions (20–25 °C and 1 atm). Multicycle IAM is a promising approach that transforms emissions into valuable products such as carbonates using solvents waste brine. Previousl...

SBA-15 is an interesting mesoporous silica material having highly ordered nanopores and a large surface area, which is widely employed as catalyst supports, absorbents, drug delivery materials, etc. Since it has a lack of functionality, heteroatoms and organic functional groups have been incorporated by direct or post-synthesis methods in order to modify their functionality. The aim of this art...
