We analysed the in vitro interaction between acetylsalicylic acid and vitamin E on the principal antiplatelet sites of action of acetylsalicylic acid, i.e., platelet aggregation, prostanoid production in platelets and leukocytes, and nitric oxide synthesis. Aggregation was measured in whole blood and in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with ADP, collagen or arachidonic acid as platelet inducers, and ...

The characteristics of acid-activated raw bentonite (RB) activated with binary acid solutions sulfuric + nitric acid, phosphoric and at a concentration 5 mol/L (denoted as 5-SN, 5-NP, 5-PS), were evaluated. Moreover, its application for improving the electrical conductivity in tap water was demonstrated. Acid activation induced partial destruction RB; subsequently, there significant release sod...

eNOS: endothelial nitric oxide synthase Hcy: homocysteine NO: nitric oxide VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor INTRODUCTION This report shows a positive therapeutic effect of high-dose folic acid plus vitamins B6 and B12 on a patient with palmar plantar pustulosis. Improvement was likely through modulation of homocysteine (Hcy) and nitric oxide (NO) synthase metabolic pathways, and by inhi...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine whether nitric oxide signaling plays a role in human embryonic stem cell differentiation into neural cells. This article reviews current literature on nitric oxide signaling and neural stem cell differentiation for potential therapeutic application to peripheral nerve regeneration. METHODS Human embryonic H9-stem cells were grown, maintained on mitomycin...

Toluene and benzene were eliminated using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In order to investigate influence of acid treatment on the MWCNTs adsorption capacities, the MWCNTs were functionalized by nitric acid (10 M) under reflux conditions for 2 h. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy were employed to confirm the formation of functional groups on the nanotubes su...

PURPOSE To investigate the cellular origin of nitric oxide released from the rabbit retina in response to physiological stimulation with light. METHODS The release of nitric oxide from the retina was measured in rabbits anesthetized with urethane. An eye-cup was prepared and was filled with Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate. After washing for 45 minutes, 0.5 ml medium was placed in the eyecup. The med...

titanium dioxide nanocrystals were synthesized by sol-gel method at room temperature. titanium isoprophoxide and absolute ethanol were used as precursors to prepare the sol. the ph of the solution was adjusted by adding nitric acid and sodium hydroxide solution. the prepared tio2 nanocrystals were annealed at 325°c, 425°c and 525°c respectively. the effect of ph on the surface morphology and st...

BACKGROUND As part of a project designing nanoparticles for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, we have synthesized and characterized a small library of nanoparticles binding with high affinity to the β-amyloid peptide and showing features of biocompatibility in vitro, which are important properties for administration in vivo. In this study, we focused on biocompatibility issues, evaluating p...
