abstract   objective: to determine the effect of oral zinc sulfate supplementation given with coamoxiclav when compared with coamoxiclav alone for treatment of otitis media with effusion (ome). the efficacy of the drug was assessed 3 and 6 weeks after administration .   methods: in a double-blind, randomized trial 4 to 14 years old children with ome who referred to ear, nose and throat clinic, ...

POWERS J. B. AND S. S. WlNANS. Sexual behavior in peripherally anosmic male hamsters. PHYSIOL. BEHAV 10(2) 361 368, 1973.-Sexually experienced and inexperienced male hamsters mated normally after they had been rendered temporarily anosmic by intranasal zinc sulfate treatment (Experiment 1), in contrast to the complete absence of sexual behavior following removal of the olfactory bulbs. The effi...

Zinc oxide nanoparticles are highly sensitive towards phosphate ions even at pH 7. Buffer solutions and cell culture media containing phosphate ions are able to destroy ZnO nanoparticles within a time span from less than one hour to one day. The driving force of the reaction is the formation of zinc phosphate of very low solubility. The morphology of the zinc oxide particles has only a minor in...

UNLABELLED The cellular responses of the J774 macrophage cell line to zinc oxide and zirconium oxide nanoparticles have been studied by a comparative quantitative, protein level based proteomic approach. The most prominent results have been validated by targeted approaches. These approaches have been carried out under culture conditions that stimulate mildly the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, there...

The influence of magnetic field on some kinetic crystallization parameters of the systems zinc sulfate – water and copper sulfate – water were investigated in a series of controlled batch cooling experiments. The solutions were exposed to magnetic fields with different intensities, up to a maximum of 0.7 T. A clear influence of magnetic field on the zinc sulfate crystallization parameters was f...

The use of plant extract in the synthesis of nanostructured materials can be a cost effective and eco-friendly approach. In this paper we report the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Citrus aurantifolia extracts. Spherical zinc oxide nanoparticles were produced using different concentration of zinc acetate which was used as the zinc source. FESEM imaging showed the formation of nan...

objective: the present study was performed to compare the antioxidant effect of two different doses of zinc on lipid oxidation in type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: this double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 type 2 diabetic patients in yazd diabetes research center in 2008. the subjects were randomly allocated to receive zinc sulfate (iran, alhavi) either 2...
