Extractive purification of hydro-treated gas oil with N-methylpyrrolidone

Causes of Floccules Formation in Hydro-Treated Lubricating Base Oil

Inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption by N-methylpyrrolidone.

Regulation of RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand)-induced osteoclast differentiation is of current interest in the development of antiresorptive agents. Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells that play a crucial role in bone resorption. In this study, we investigated the effects of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) on the regulation of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. NMP inhibited RA...

Survey Sperm Parameter of Mouse Treated With Corn Oil

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluated the effect of corn oil on mouse sperm count, motility, viability, quality of chromosome, testicular spermatid number per gram testis (TSN), anddaily sperm production (DSP). Materials and Methods: The protocol for corn oil adminstration was that male NMRI mice (the age groupe of 4weeks) received 100 and 150 ml corn oil orally for 14 days. The ...

ZnO nanoparticles as sensing materials with high gas response for detection of n-butanol gas

The high crystallinity ZnO nanoparticles with an average particle diameter 30 nm have been successfully synthesized with a surfactant-mediated method. The cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) and the hydrous metal chlorides (ZnCl2⋅2H2O) appear to be the good candidates for obtaining a high yield of nanoparticles. The structural and morphological characterizations were carr...

Gas gangrene and osteomyelitis of the foot in a diabetic patient treated with tea tree oil

Diabetic foot wounds represent a class of chronic non-healing wounds that can lead to the development of soft tissue infections and osteomyelitis. We reviewed the case of a 44-year-old female with a diabetic foot wound who developed gas gangrene while treating her wound with tea tree oil, a naturally derived antibiotic agent. This case report includes images that represent clinical examination ...
