Hypochlorite is a reactive oxygen species that is worldwide as an antibacterial disinfectant. Hypochlorite exposure is known to cause oxidative damage to DNA and proteins. As a response to these effects, the metabolite profiles of organisms treated with sub-lethal doses of hypochlorite are assumed to be severely modified; however, the nature of these changes is hardly understood. Therefore, usi...

INTRODUCTION Formocresol is widely used in primary teeth pulpotomies; however it is known to have several side effects. The purpose of this study was to assess pulpal changes of primary teeth pulps after pulpotomy with sodium hypochlorite and formocresol. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this randomized clinical trial, 22 teeth were selected. These teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups (formocres...

BACKGROUND The current disease outbreak caused by the Ebola virus Makona variant (EBOV/Mak) has led to unprecedented morbidity and lethality given its geographic reach and sustained transmission. Sodium hypochlorite and ethanol are well-accepted decontamination agents, however little published evidence supports the selection of appropriate concentrations and contact times. The present study add...

The corrosion process occurs in almost all materials, especially metals, slowly but surely, which can cause a material to have limited service life. Corrosion cannot be prevented the rate reduced. One of t he methods inhibit effective is by giving epoxy primer treatment. This study aims examine effect adding on low carbon steel immersed 5.25% Calcium hypochlorite solution. research was conducte...

Ficus religiosa has great mythological, religious, and medicinal importance in the culture of India and Nepal since times immemorial. The present paper was done to evaluate the potential of sodium hypochlorite in controlling the contamination of F. religiosa micro-propagation and seed germination of F. religiosa. In this study, a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with...

Two mitochondria-targeted real-time probes were presented, which could selectively respond to hypochlorite over other ROS. Meanwhile, the "off-on" probes could be successfully applied in the in vivo imaging of hypochlorite in living mice.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the efficacy of 24% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) gel and 17% EDTA solution in cleaning dentine walls after root canal instrumentation. Thirty human canine teeth were divided into three groups of 10 teeth each. In Group 1, 1% sodium hypochlorite was used as the irrigating solution; in Group 2, 1% sodium hypochlorite was used with 17% ED...

Low concentration (0.5-0.8%) sodium hypochlorite is a viable solution for point-of-use drinking water chlorination programs in Nepal, and it can be produced on a small-scale at a low cost using relatively cheap, safe, and robust generators, appropriate for developing country conditions. This thesis describes the set-up and the testing of a sodium hypochlorite generator in Kathmandu, at the labo...
