چکیده

solution. Such agents also enhance the stability of certain nylon solutions. All bacteriostatic agents are not effective when dispersed in the plastic matrix. Each specific combination must be tested. Those found to be bacteriostatic may have useful application in surgical dressings for wounds or burns, packaging, or for painting areas which must be kept free of bacterial activity. It is possible that further investigation may produce bacteriostatic synthetic fibers for cloth in which this property will be of value.

Evaluation of the chick as a test animal in the assay of diphtheria toxoids.

In a previous report (Branham and Wormald, 1954), the authors have described the titration of therapeutic diphtheria antitoxins in 7to 8-day old chicks. These antitoxins had a titer of several thousand units per ml. Reference was made to an adaptation of this technique to the determination of smaller amounts of antitoxin in the sera of guinea pigs vaccinated with precipitated toxoids. An effect...

Design and Production of Recombinant TAT Protein Structure, Catalytic Domain of Diphtheria Toxin, and Evaluation of Its Effect on Cell Line

Background and Objectives: Cancer is one of the most deadly diseases in the present age and its conventional therapies have had low success. Toxin therapy of cancer is a new therapeutic approach, which has attracted the attention of pharmaceutical specialists. Diphtheria toxin consists of three functional, transducing, and binding domains, that the functional part inhibits protein synthesis and...

Effect of Aqueous-Ethanolic Extract from Rosa damascena on Guinea Pig Isolated Heart

Objective(s) In the present study, the effects of aqueous-ethanolic extract from Rosa damascena on heart rate and contractility were examined. Materials and Methods Isolated guinea-pig hearts were perfused through aorta in a Langendorff mode. Heart rate (HR) and contractility were determined in the presence of four concentrations of the extract (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 1.0 mg %) and isoprenaline (...

The Neutralization or Destruction of Diphtheria Toxin by Tissue

As determined by the intracutaneous test in guinea pigs, diphtheria toxin is not altered in the presence of cardiac tissue obtained from the fetal or from the adult heart of the guinea pig. Tissue cultures were apparently uninjured by the presence of the toxin in the dilutions used in these experiments, and, when washed with embryo extract after removal of the diluted toxin, continued to grow. ...

The Differences in the Relaxant Effects of Different Fractions of Rosa damascena on Guinea Pig Tracheal Smooth Muscle

Objective(s) In the present study, the differences in the relaxant effects of aqueous, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of Rosa damascena on tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pigs were examined. Materials and Methods The relaxant effects of three cumulative concentrations of each fraction (0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 g%) in comparison with saline and three cumulative concentrations of theophylline ...
