The dynamic interaction of Cresyl Violet (CV) in different micellar systems has been demonstrated in single molecular level by FCS studies. The SDS micelle entrapped CV efficiently detected Cu2+ ions in solution with a limit of detection (LOD) of 70 nM, which is further substantiated with the gr...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been confirmed as a significant endogenous gaseous signaling molecule involved in various physiological processes. In order to monitor H2S in living cells, a Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) ratiometric probe based on quantum dot-cresyl violet was developed. In...

A new type of magnetoliposomes (MLs), containing hydrophobic magnetic-gold nanoparticles and the long wavelength fluorophore cresyl violet, has been used for the determination of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). MLs were concentrated just before the detector, using a flow system and an external electromagn...

Estimation of total number of neurons in the spiral ganglion (SG) at various ages and their functional status is important as these neurons are constantly exposed to noise and other environmental factors that may lead to neuronal loss with aging due to excitotoxic damage. Parvalbumin (PV) is a c...

SummaryProgressive degeneration of motor neurons (MNs) is the hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Limb-innervating lateral motor column MNs (LMC-MNs) seem to be particularly vulnerable and are among the first MNs affected in ALS. Here, we report association of this differential susc...

For million years resin exudates have undergone chemical alterations by heat, pressure, radiation, water, oxygen, microorganisms, and have suffered processes of sedimentation and diagenesis. These agents have affected the organic functional groups present in the terpenes of the resins, giving ri...

Red bayberry (Morella rubra Lour.) has attractive fruit with appealing flavour and global market potential. However, its fresh fruit are highly susceptible to mechanical damage and postharvest fungal decay. The objective of the current study was to assess the efficacy of weak organic acids in de...

ABSTRACTThe objectives of this study were to estimate, for the Italian Simmental cattle population, genetic parameters for 92 traits and their infrared predictions (IP) and to investigate the genetic relationship between measured traits (MT) and IP. Data for milk fat fatty acid composition (n = ...

SummaryThe microRNAs encoded by the miR-17∼92 polycistron are commonly overexpressed in cancer and orchestrate a wide range of oncogenic functions. Here, we identify a mechanism for miR-17∼92 oncogenic function through the disruption of endogenous microRNA (miRNA) processing. We show that, upo...

Exploration of solid-state efficient red emissive carbon dots (CDs) phosphors is strongly desired for the development of high performance CDs-based white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). In this work, enhanced red emissive CDs-based phosphors with photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of 25% we...

Nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions from diesel engines are reduced by mixing water in the diesel fuel in the form of water-in-diesel emulsion. The results of experiment showed that blend of span 80 and tween 80 at HLB 6 was found to be the most suitable emulsifier for wat...

ObjectivesThe aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of 2% CHX and 2% CHX-methacrylate compared to the resin–dentin bonds created by a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system after 24 h, 6 min and 12 min.

ObjectivesPeritoneal fibrosis (PF) is a recognized complication of long term peritoneal dialysis (PD) and can lead to ultrafiltration failure. The most commonly used method to create a PF rat model is an intraperitoneal injection of 0.1% chlorhexidine gluconate with 15% ethanol. The aim of this ...

Poor bioavailability and low residence time limit the efficiency of conventional biguanide-based eye drops against Acanthamoeba keratitis. The aim of this work was to formulate an original anti-amoebic thermoreversible ocular gel combining biguanide and metalloproteases inhibitor - chelating age...

Background/PurposeAcanthamoeba keratitis is difficult to treat because Acanthamoeba cysts are resistant to the majority of antimicrobial agents. Despite the efficacy of 0.02% chlorhexidine in treating Acanthamoeba keratitis, a lack of data in the literature regarding the formulation's stabi...

Endodontic therapy is a well-established treatment modality with a high success rate [1]. The aim of endodontic therapy is to prevent or treat periapical inflammatory lesions [2] by removal of connective tissue and microorganisms found in infected root canal [3]. In addition, it seeks an effecti...

Chitosan/alginate complexes were prepared at different polycation/polyanion molar ratios and freeze-dried vaginal inserts were obtained for chlorhexidine digluconate local delivery in genital infections. Complex yield, FT-IR spectra, and TGA thermograms were studied to confirm the interaction be...

Accurate knowledge of the safety of the combined use of hyper-pure chlorine dioxide (ClO2, Solumium) with different endodontic agents is not known. The objective was to investigate the possible interactions between hyper-pure ClO2 and Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) as well as hyper-pure ClO2 an...

This study evaluated the efficacy of alkyltrimethylammonium-bromide (ATMB) and chlorhexidine-digluconate (CDG) to reduce pathogens of meat safety concerns in solution and on hides. In solution, ATMB at 50 and 250 ppm reduced individual cocktails of Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli O157:H7 a...

The principal aim of this study is to assess the environmental risk associated with the exposure of active pharmaceutical ingredient ‘chlorhexidine digluconate’ and its degraded products after photomineralization process in aquatic system. This drug component, being the main constituent of mou...
