glyoxal/dental caries

This article describes the development and field application of a portable broadband cavity enhanced spectrometer (BBCES) operating in the spectral range of 440-480 nm for sensitive, real-time, in situ measurement of ambient glyoxal (CHOCHO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The instrument utilized a

The photolysis of glyoxal has been investigated in the 355-414 nm region by dye laser photolysis coupled with cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Absolute quantum yields of HCO, ΦHCO, were determined using the reaction of chlorine atoms with formaldehyde as an actinometer. The dependence of the quantum

Photoexcitation of glyoxal at wavelengths over the range of 395-414 nm was observed to initiate a chemical reaction that produces the HCO radical in addition to the photolytic production of HCO. The technique of dye laser flash photolysis coupled to cavity ring-down spectroscopy was used to

Quantum yields, Phi, for the production of the formyl radical, HCO, in the photolysis of glyoxal were determined at 85 wavelengths, lambda, in the range of 290-420 nm at pressures between 50 and 550 Torr (N(2)) at 298 K using pulsed-laser photolysis combined with cavity ring-down spectroscopy

The formation of HCO and of H in the photolysis of glyoxal have been investigated over the wavelength ranges 310-335 nm for HCO and 193-340 nm for H. Dye laser photolysis was coupled with cavity ring-down spectroscopy for HCO, and with laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy for H. Absolute quantum

We present results obtained from a greatly improved version of a previously reported nitrogen dioxide monitor (Anal Chem. 2005, 77, 724-728) that utilizes cavity attenuated phase shift spectroscopy (CAPS). The sensor, which detects the optical absorption of nitrogen dioxide within a 20 nm bandpass

Conventional fluids for peritoneal dialysis (PD) contain reactive glucose degradation products (GDPs) as a result of glucose breakdown during heat-sterilization. GDPs in PD fluids (PDFs) have been associated with the progressive alteration of the peritoneal membrane during long-term PD by cytotoxic

We report enhancements of glyoxal and methylglyoxal relative to carbon monoxide and formaldehyde in agricultural biomass burning plumes intercepted by the NOAA WP-3D aircraft during the 2013 Southeast Nexus and 2015 Shale Oil and Natural Gas Nexus campaigns. Glyoxal and methylglyoxal were measured

The trace gas glyoxal (CHOCHO) forms from the atmospheric oxidation of hydrocarbons and is a precursor to secondary organic aerosol. We have measured the absorption cross section of disubstituted (13)CHO(13)CHO ((13)C glyoxal) at moderately high (1 cm(-1)) optical resolution between 21 280 and 23

Experiments are reported which bear on two spool models proposed for packaging the DNA of phage lambda. Both spool models fill an assumed spherical cavity with DNA wrapped in cylindrical or quasi-cylindrical layers composed of adjacent circular turns. In the curved-spool model, a single continuous

The complex absorbing potential (CAP)/symmetry-adapted cluster-configuration interaction (SAC-CI) method has been combined with a smooth Voronoi potential, which was recently introduced in the extrapolation procedure, to locate π* resonance states of small- to medium-size molecules. Here, the

In this work, the interaction of a bioactive tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with bovine hemoglobin (BHb) along with its anti-oxidative behavior and the anti-glycation property have been explored using multi-spectroscopic and computational techniques. The binding affinity for EGCG

BACKGROUND Advanced glycation of proteins has been incriminated in the progressive alteration of the peritoneal membrane during chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD). Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) result from a modification of proteins by reactive carbonyl compounds (RCOs). RCOs resulting from

BACKGROUND Reactive carbonyl compounds (RCOs) present in heat-sterilized peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluid have been incriminated in the progressive deterioration of the peritoneal membrane observed in long-term PD patients. The present study utilized the glyoxalase I (GLO I) system as a new approach

BACKGROUND Reactive carbonyl compounds (RCOs) present in peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluid have been incriminated in the progressive deterioration of the peritoneal membrane in long-term PD patients. They are initially present in fresh conventional heat-sterilized glucose PD fluid and are supplemented
