BACKGROUND
Isopropanol is widely used by conservators to relax the creases and folds of parchment artefacts. At present, little is known of the possible side effects of the chemical on parchments main structural component- collagen. This study uses X-ray Diffraction to investigate the effects of a
OBJECTIVE
The study investigated the acute effects of isopropanol exposure at the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) level on the performance of neurobehavioural functions.
METHODS
In an exposure chamber 20 healthy subjects aged between 21 and 30 years were exposed to isopropanol at a
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to profile the endogenous phospholipid species in the retinal tissue of the S334ter-3 rat model of retinal degeneration. Retinal tissue was collected from S334ter-3 rats at postnatal day (P) 20, P30, and P60, while control retinal samples were collected from
This report described a new method for the microanalysis of sphingolipids and its application for the characterization of cerebrosides and sulfatides in multiple sclerosis brain and rat sciatic nerves undergoing Wallerian degeneration. Tissue was extracted with isopropanol/hexane (20:78), and the
Induction of chemical anoxia, using sodium azide in cerebellar granule cells maintained in primary culture, was evaluated as an in vitro assay for screening of potential neuroprotective compounds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sodium azide as an alternative to cyanide salts, compounds
Compared to bulk metal-organic framework (MOF), 2D MOF nanosheets have gained intensive research attention due to their ultrathin thickness and large surface area with highly accessible active sites. However, structural deterioration and morphological damage have impeded producing high-quality MOF
BACKGROUND
Nucleotide analogs are highly polar and ionic, which impose great challenges on bioanalysis. Ion-pairing liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is the predominant reported approach for such compounds. Assay ruggedness of ion-pairing LC/MS/MS methods was often a
The influence of Dipyridamole on acute hepatotoxicity has been studied in male SD-JCL rats doses with carbon tetrachloride. High single oral doses of Dipyridamole lowered the serum enzyme activity and reduced significantly the area % of hepatic necrosis and hydropic degeneration, but not of
The continuous search for novel enzyme backbones and the engineering of already well studied enzymes for biotechnological applications has become an increasing challenge, especially by the increasing potential diversity space provided by directed enzyme evolution approaches and the demands of
OBJECTIVE
VPP mice, which possess a mutant transgene for opsin (V20G, P23H, P27L), exhibit a progressive rod degeneration that resembles one form of human autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. In the present study the association of the development of VPP rod degeneration with abnormal operation
In this study, the potential of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA, Plexiglas) and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) tubing for CE-ESI-MS separations of anions at high pH values was examined. A set of model compounds of biological interest was used to investigate the main operational parameters for
The common mobile phase hexane/isopropanol/water used for separation of phospholipids on high-performance liquid chromatography silica columns poses several problems, such as incomplete separation and rapid column deterioration. By inclusion of 5 mM ammonium sulfate in the aqueous phase, we were
A prospective, randomized double-blind study with intra-individual comparison of the results was undertaken with 20 volunteers to assess the influence of cosmetic additives on the acceptability of a mixture of n-propanol (50% v/v) and isopropanol (30% v/v) for hand disinfection. Three to 5 ml of
Sevoflurane is metabolized to hexa-fluoro-isopropanol and inorganic fluoride by the human liver. Its use as an anesthetic may lead to peak plasma fluoride concentrations exceeding those seen after enflurane. Although there is no nephrotoxicity after sevoflurane anesthesia in humans with normal
BACKGROUND
Mosquitoes are well known as vectors of several disease causing pathogens. The extensive use of synthetic insecticides in the mosquito control strategies resulted to the development of pesticide resistance and fostered environmental deterioration. Hence in recent years plants become
