Acetic acid vapor-deposited on ultrathin noncrystalline ice (NCI) and polycrystalline ice (PCI) films (less than 6 nm thick) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions has been investigated by using Fourier Transform Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy. Pristine acetic acid deposited at 123 K (on a copper support) appears as an amorphous solid, which undergoes an irreversible phase transformatio...

In this research, the accelerated ripening of the Kabkab dates from Khalal to Tamr using NaCl and acetic acid solutions was studied. Fruits at Khalal stage were harvested and washed with distilled water before being treated with ripening inducers: 1. NaCl solutions, 2. acetic acid solutions and 3. Aqueous solution of NaCl (1%) and acetic acid. moisture, pH, colour, brix and textural firmness of...

Anti-colitis effect of antidepressants has been demonstrated recently. Doxepin, a tricyclic antidepressant drug (TCA), with potent H1, H2, alpha1 adrenergic and muscarinic receptor blocking effects could be a good candidate for investigation for its anti-colitis activity. Moreover high prevalence of depression in patients who suffer from IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), defends this idea that ...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases contain two digestive system diseases, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease with unclear causes. The aim of present study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of administration of the Sesame oil (SO) and grape seed oil (GSO) as enema route in rats suffering from experimental acetic acid induced UC.  METHODS Eighty male rats were ...

objectives: iron chelators, such as maltol and kojic acid, have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. they may have beneficial effects on inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) because iron can develop and aggravate inflammation in ibd. in the present study, the effect of selected iron chelators and anti-oxidants were evaluated on a model of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (tnbs)-induced coliti...

ment either on the day of their operation or one day later. The issue at hand now is to compare laparoscopic cholecystectomy to "small-inci-sion" cholecystegtomY in a properly designed trial, in such a setting. (1994). Laparoscopic and minilaparotomy chole-cystectomy: A randomized trial comparing postopera-tive pain and pulmonary function, Surgery, 115, 533-539. external audit of laparoscopic c...

background and objective: regarding side effects of acute and especially chronic inflammation and incomplete treatment of patients suffering from these side effects, the new and effective strategies are needed. for this purpose, in the present study, we scientifically evaluate an introduced folk herb urtica dioica, for treatment of inflammation. materials and methods: the sham, control and trea...

the distribution of gallium(b) and indium (b) between hydrochloric or sulphuric acid solution with sec-nonylphenoxy acetic acid(ca-100) in kerosene has been investigated under various conditions. ca-100 is a new organocarboxylic extractant, which has been shown to be efficient for gallium(b) and indium(b) whereas germanium(c), which was not extracted. the extraction system is studied as a funct...

the natural lignan podophyllotoxin, a dimerized product of two phenylpropanoid moieties which occurs in a few plant species, is a pharmacologically important compound for its anticancer activities. optimization of the in vitro cultures might lead to a renewable source of lignans for medicinal uses. in order to maximize efficiency of podophyllotoxin accumulation via in vitro cultures, the effect...
