OBJECTIVE Inflammation is one of the major components of asthma. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of C. sativus extract on total and differential white blood cells (WBC) count in lung lavage fluid (LLF) of ovalbumin-sensitized rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty rats were divided into five groups (n = 8 for each group) as control (C), sensitized with injection and inhalation of ovalbumin (OA...

ZnO, Perovskite Solar Cell, Dye-Sensitized Hetro-Junction Cell

in order to fabricate transparent tio2 nanotube dye-sensitized solar cells, anodically growth nanotube membranes are detached from ti substrate by a re-anodization method. the membranes are transferred on fto glass by two different methods. at the first one, 100mm ti-isopropoxide is used to make tio2 nanoparticles for adhering tio2 nanotube membranes to fto and in the second one a commercial ti...

We have previously demonstrated that adoptive transfer of alveolar macrophages from allergy-resistant rats to alveolar macrophage-depleted allergic rats prevents airway hyperresponsiveness development, suggesting an important role for alveolar macrophages in asthma pathogenesis. Given that ovalbumin sensitization can modulate alveolar macrophage cytokine production, we investigated the role of ...

BACKGROUND Cross-reactions and co-sensitizations are of great importance in understanding contact allergy and exposure sources. OBJECTIVES To investigate common cross-reactions and co-sensitizations in p-phenylenediamine (PPD)-sensitized and toluene-2,5-diamine (TDA)-sensitized individuals. METHODS From our patch test population, 8036 patients patch tested with the European baseline series ...

A novel phosphorus and oxygen co-doped graphitic carbon nitride (sheetP-O-CNSSA) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized applied for H2 evolution under visible light. In the synthesis process of sheetP-O-CNSSA, supramolecular complex developed by self-assembly copolymerization reaction among melamine, cyanuric acid (CA) trithiocyanuric (TCA) to act as g-C3N4 precursors, while (NH4)2HPO4 P O ...
