We compared the efficacies of two arthropod pitfall trapping techniques: live (dry) trapping and kill trapping with three killing agents (water, ethylene glycol, and the recently developed propylene glycol, whose efficacy has not been previously assessed). Kill pitfall traps caught more species than did live pitfalls. Forty-one species were collected only from kill traps (3 being unique to wate...

PURPOSE To study the effects of varying lipid concentrations, lipid and oil ratio, and the addition of propylene glycol and lecithin on the long-term physical stability of nanostructured lipid nanocarriers (NLC), skin hydration, and transepidermal water loss. METHODS The various NLC formulations (A1-A5) were prepared and their particle size, zeta potential, viscosity, and stability were analy...

Tropical formulations of 5-trifluoromethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (TFT) containing different concentrations of TFT, Azone (Nelson Research and Development, Irvine, Calif.), and propylene glycol were evaluated for their potential efficacy in the treatment of cutaneous herpes simplex virus infections by in vitro studies of TFT penetration through skin and in vivo studies of therapeutic activity against ...

Alcohol-related intoxications, including methanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and propylene glycol, and alcoholic ketoacidosis can present with a high anion gap metabolic acidosis and increased serum osmolal gap, whereas isopropanol intoxication presents with hyperosmolality alone. The effects of these substances, except for isopropanol and possibly alcoholic ketoacidosis, are due to t...

The effects of propylene glycol (PEG) on performance, ruminal fermentation, blood glucose and insulin, carcass traits, and abundance of IGF-1 mRNA in LM and leptin mRNA in adipose tissue were examined in 20 Korean native steers, with 10 each in control and PEG-fed groups, respectively. Propylene glycol mixed with concentrate diet was provided daily at a rate of 2.5 mL/kg BW(0.75). Experimental ...

A glycol nucleic acid (GNA) with an acyclic propylene glycol phosphodiester backbone forms stable antiparallel duplexes following the Watson-Crick base pairing rules.
