The aim of this study was to examine the effect of molecular hydrogen (H2) on the healing of alkali-injured cornea. The effects of the solution of H2 in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or PBS alone topically applied on the alkali-injured rabbit cornea with 0.25 M NaOH were investigated using immunohistochemical and biochemical methods. Central corneal thickness taken as an index of corneal hydr...

Chlorthalidone was subjected to various forced degradation conditions. Substantial degradation of chlorthalidone was obtained in acid, alkali, and oxidative conditions. Further full factorial experimental design was applied for acid and alkali forced degradation conditions, in which strength of acid/alkali, temperature, and time of heating were considered as independent variables (factors) and ...

Abstract Land reclamation significantly impacts the transformation and availability of phosphorus (P) in soils. P‐solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs) play key roles activating soil P. However, responses PSMs to buildup P under land relationship between different fractions have not been clearly clarified. Here, an investigation was carried out containing three treatments: (i) vegetable field (VF)...

The effect of phosphorylated phloretins on Na(+)-dependent phosphate uptake into rabbit renal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) was examined. Na(+)-dependent phosphate uptake into isolated rabbit cortex BBMV was sensitive to 2'-phosphophloretin (2'-PP) and 2'-phospho-4',4,6'-trimethoxy phloretin (PTMP) in a dose-dependent and pH-dependent manner. PTMP inhibition of Na(+)-dependent phosphate...

The low-frequency Raman spectra of Na-and Cs-DNA water solutions have been studied to determine the mode of counterion vibrations with respect to phosphate groups of the DNA double helix. The obtained spectra are characterized by the water band near 180 cm −1 and by several DNA bands near 100 cm −1. The main difference between Na-and Cs-DNA spectra is observed in case of the band 100 cm −1. In ...

In this paper, two types of sustainable cementitious composites, geopolymer and magnesium phosphate cement, are introduced. The geopolymer is a type of amorphous alumino-silicate products and magnesium cement is MgO based cementitious material. Geopolymer can be synthesized by polycondensation reaction of geopolymeric precursor, and alkali polysilicates. The MgO cement can be obtained by proper...
