Measurement of Anesthetic Potency

Measurement of allergenic potency using the local lymph node assay.

Chemicals that can act as contact allergens have been identified successfully using guinea-pig models. However, contact allergy is still common, probably because of, at least in part, failures of risk assessment. A new method, the local lymph node assay, replaces the guinea-pig as a tool for hazard identification and offers the real prospect of accurate prediction of allergen potency, the missi...

Anesthetic potency and influence of morphine and sevoflurane on respiration in mu-opioid receptor knockout mice.

BACKGROUND The involvement of the mu-opioid receptor (muOR) system in the control of breathing, anesthetic potency, and morphine- and anesthesia-induced respiratory depression was investigated in mice lacking the muOR. METHODS Experiments were performed in mice lacking exon 2 of the muOR gene (muOR-/-) and their wild-type littermates (muOR+/+). The influence of saline, morphine, naloxone, and...

The Evaluation of Antibacterial Potency of Four Mouthwash Antiseptics

SUMMARY At present research, the antibacterial potency of 4 antiseptic agents formulated in mouthwash products against four gram-positive cocci and 2 gram-negative bacilli isolated from dental plaque and abscess evaluated by five specific in-vitro methods. The bacteriostatic effect of four antiseptic agents is as following relation:CHG > > CPO> CPC > PVP-I. But, The quality and quantity of ba...
