In a double-blind study 91 patients with acne vulgaris were treated either with oral zinc sulphate (0.4 g daily) or with a placebo. Forty-eight patients received zince treatment and 43 patients placebo. Significantly better results were demonstrated in favour of zince after 12 weeks.

In all cases, three specimens were examined from each patient. Wet preparation of faeces in saline and in iodine were carried out. The preparations were screened for ova, cyst and trophozoites of protozoa. A modified zinc sulphate flotation technique! was used to concentrate faecal ova and cyst. Faecal smears were then fixed and stained in trichrome for further identification of the parasites.

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of zinc sulphate administered by transdermal iontophoresis (TDI) on mechanical resistance of surgical wounds performed in the skin of diabetic rats. METHODS One hundred and sixty male Wistar rats weighing approximately 250 g were submitted to an incision surgery at the anterior region of abdomen and randomly distributed into four experimental groups with 40 n...

Zinc sulphate is currently used for treatment of zinc deficiency. Its uptake by the body is poor, necessitating the administration of high doses. This leads to a range of unpleasant side effects. In order to increase the bioavailability of zinc, several zinc complexes have been designed and synthesized using bidentate ligands of hydroxypyranones and hydroxypyridinones. Elemental analysis in eac...

in order to evaluate the effect of humic acid and zn on the grape yield and mineral concentration, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. the study was done on 20 years old grapevines in the farsan region from chaharmahal and bakhtiari province in 2013-2014. each of the factors, humic acid and zinc sulfate, were applied in three...

A simple wet-chemical synthesis method was developed to fabricate Zinc oxide micro-rod clusters. The process involved the rapid dilution of a zinc-bearing alkaline solution at 150°C in convection oven on indium tin (ITO) substrates. carried out by immersing an unseeded ITO substrate mixture zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H O) and hexamethylenetetramine ((CH 6 N 4 aqueous solution. obta...

This field experiment was carried out at Horticultural Research Centre, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (U.K.), India, during two consecutive years 2010 and 2011 on 7 years old peach trees cv. Sharbati. The experiment was designed in RBD to study the effect of foliar spraying of boron, zinc and iron and its combination on fruit growth pattern and yield attributing ...

Zinc (Zn) is a potent antioxidant and plays a key role in scavenging free radicals. We hypothesized that supplementation of Zn would reduce the oxidative damage, which is linked with poor sperm quality. Sixteen bucks of similar average age (2 years) and body weight (41 kg) were randomly divided into four groups viz., 1, 2, 3 and 4 supplemented with zinc sulphate into the diet at the rate of 0, ...

In 3 cases of acrodermatitis enteropathica duodenal biopsy performed at the outset of treatment showed a similar abnormality of the intestinal mucosa. Further biopsies taken during treatment showed progressive improvement of the intestinal mucosa with subsequent complete restoration of the normal cellular and villous pattern. The initial treatment was with expressed human breast milk and oral d...

nanocrystalline zinc oxide (zno) powders with different morphology have been successfully synthesized by using different surfactants such as cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ctab), sodium dodecyl sulphate (sds), and tri ethanol amine (tea) via hydrothermal method. the products were characterized by means of powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electr...
