BDH xylene substitute, a terpene-based product, and its mixture with anhydrous alcohol were found to be excellent replacements for xylene and carbol-xylene, respectively, in the trichrome staining technique applied to sodium acetate-acetic acid-Formalin-fixed fecal smears for detection of intestinal protozoa.

In this study, several novel peptidomimetics were designed and synthesized as potential anti-inflammatory agents. Their anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using a xylene-induced ear edema model assay. Some of the compounds demonstrated inhibitory activity against xylene-induced inflammation similar to the positive control, aspirin. *Corresponding author: Jianwei Zhang, College of Pharmace...

In 108 workers occupationally exposed to benzene, toluene and xylene the numbers of lymphocytes containing intact lysosomes having cytochemically determined activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were calculated in the peripheral blood. The benzene, toluene and xylene concentration in the air of at work places were 0-370, 0-580 and 0-506 mg/cu. m, respectively. The phenol concentrati...

MFI zeolite membranes, especially b-oriented ones, show superb vapor permeation/separation performance for xylene isomer separation at low pressures. In industrial applications these membranes should be operated high pressures in the mode or with liquid feed pervaporation mode. This paper reports influence of activity on and membranes. High quality were synthesized an organic template modified ...

Background & objectives: Xylene, which can pollute the water sources, is widely used as a solvent in insecticide manufacture, dye and leather and other industries. Adsorption is one of the most common processes used to treat the contaminated aqueous solutions by xylene. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the xylene removal efficiency and adsorption isotherms of magnetic nanoparticl...

The effects of experimental exposure to toluene (100 ppm), xylene (100 ppm) and their mixture (50 ppm of toluene and 50 ppm of xylene) on CNS functions were studied in 10 male volunteers aged 22-35. Changes in CNS functions were measured by means of nine psychological tests. Acute exposure to xylene produced the most adverse effect on simple reaction time SRT and choice reaction time ChRT. Expo...

To determine the relationship between the oral ingestion volume of xylene and methyl hippuric acid (MHA) in urine, we measured MHA in 11 patients whose ingested xylene volume was identified. The best-fit equation between urine MHA and ingested amount of xylene was as follows: y (ingested amount of xylene, mL/kg) = -0.052x² + 0.756x (x = MHA in urine in g/g creatinine). From this equation, we es...

Capsicum and garlic were extracted in xylene. The obtained extracts were used to prepare four emulsifable concentrates "EC's". Formula A "capsicum xylene extract + emulsifier", Formula B "garlic xylene extract + emulsifier", Formula C "capsicum xylene extract in boiled linseed oil + emulsifier" and Formula D "garlic xylene extract in boiled linseed oil + emulsifier ". All prepared formulations ...
