Materials and Methods Nonsurgical Procedures for Manual Instillation of a Phenol-atabrine Paste (pap) for Female Tubal Occlusion. Vii-1

The clinical efficacy of the repeated transcervical instillation of quinacrine for female sterilization.

The safety and efficacy of the repeated transcervical instillation of quinacrine hydrochloride in a suspension of 5 ml of 2% Xylocaine was evaluated in 200 patients. All instillation procedures were performed during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle: the second instillation was made in the first menstrual cycle following the initial instillation and the third and last instillation ...

Effects of 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate on the activity and folding of phenol sulfotransferase.

Known spectroscopic and kinetic data are used to formulate pathways of the physiological and transfer reactions and the substrate inhibition of phenol sulfotransferase. Kinetic mechanisms indicate that release of PAP from enzyme complex is required for the physiological reaction but not for the transfer reaction. The pathways explain rate difference between the physiological and transfer reacti...

Association for Voluntary Surgical Contraception: a technical statement on quinacrine pellets for nonsurgical female sterilization.

For many years, researchers have been seeking nonsurgical methods for female sterilization because these methods may be safer, simpler, cheaper, and quicker than conventional techniques, and may require a lower level of skill to deliver. Various investigators have explored using intrauterine instillation of quinacrine for tubal occlusion. Until recently, reports of quinacrine use for nonsurgica...

Effect of Terminal Gamma Sterilization on Osteoinductivity

Introduction RTI Biologics, Inc. (RTI) currently produces allograft demineralized bone matrix (DBM) paste products that are manufactured under strict aseptic conditions using single donors. All donors are subjected to rigorous screening, prior to processing, to ensure that no transmissible pathogens are present in donor material. In addition, a terminal sterilization procedure has been introduc...
