Functional response of Telenomus remus Nixon (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) to Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) eggs: effect of female age. Functional response of 24-h and 48-h-old Telenomus remus adults was studied on Spodoptera frugiperda eggs. The study was carried out in climatic chamber regulated at 25 ± 1°C, 70 ± 10% RH and 12:12h (L: D). Females of T. remus were h...

Tea has been shown to inhibit chemically induced tumorigenesis in many animal models, but the effects of tea consumption on human carcinogenesis are not conclusive. In order to develop biomarkers for tea consumption, we developed methods for the analysis of tea polyphenols in human plasma and urine samples using HPLC with the coulochem electrode array detection system. (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-ga...

Clerodendrum inerme is a traditionally used medicinal plant in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The present study aimed to analyze mitotic abnormality-inducing potentials leaf aqueous extract C. (LAECI) on Allium cepa root tip cells. 48-h aged A. roots were treated with LAECI (2, 4, 8 mg mL−1) for 2 4 h also allowed recover up 16 compared standard colchicine (0.4 actions. cytologi...

BACKGROUND In this study we have evaluated the efficacy of ketamine via i.m. and epidural routes for the control of post-thoracotomy pain. METHODS The study was randomized, double blinded and placebo controlled. With the approval of the Faculty Ethics Committee, 60 patients undergoing elective thoracotomy were randomized into three equal groups. Group IM had i.m. ketamine 1 mg kg(-1) in 2 ml ...

Objective: The purpose of this work was to develop and validate a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultra-violet (UV) detection method for the determination Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in oil. Methods: HPLC analysis carried out using an Agilent 1260 Infinity Series® II system detection. stationary phase consisted ACE 5 μm C18 column (250×4.6 mm) at temperature 40°C. mobile ac...

Outbreaks associated with leafy greens have focused attention on the transfer of human pathogens to these commodities during harvest with commercial equipment. Attachment of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on new or rusty spinach harvester blades immersed in spinach extract or 10% tryptic soy broth (TSB) was investigated. Bacteriophages specific for E. coli O157:H7 were evaluated to kill cells attache...

background : the aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial activity of watermelon juice probioticated using differ­ent strains of lactobacilli against salmonella typhi murium. methods : probioticated watermelon juice was produced using four strains of lactobacilli (lactobacillus casei, l. acidophil­lus, l. fementum and l. plantarum ). the watermelon juice was pasteurized for 30 minutes...

(0.70 mmol) of dibenzothiophene was added. After 48 h at 55 OC the mixture was worked up, first with glacial acetic acid and then with 6 N aqueous HCI. A sample of the biphenyl (95%) was analyzed by MS and IR measurements. The product was a mixture of 14.3% 2,2'-dideuterio-and 25.3% 2-deuteriobiphenyl, together with 60.4% biphenyl. (e) Workup with o-Deuterioacetic Acid. The reaction between (CO...

Dinitrotoluenes (DNTs) are byproducts of the explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT), and exist as a mixture of 2 to 6 isomers, with 2,4-DNT and 2,6-DNT being the most significant. The main route of human exposure at ammunition facilities is inhalation. The primary targets of DNTs toxicity are the hematopoietic system, cardiovascular system, nervous system and reproductive system. In factory workers, e...
