Glas and Bahr (1) have proposed a method for the determination of the water content of subcellular particles which can be schematically described as follows: A suspension of particles in 0.44 M sucrose is layered in a centrifuge tube over a silicone oil denser than the sucrose solution but less dense than the particles. The particles are sedimented through the silicone oil by high speed centrif...

Abstract The main component of Silicone-based heat transfer fluids is modified silicone oil. high and low using temperature silicone-based better than hydrocarbon organic fluids. raising the maximum means that it can obtain higher steam in process system, power generation efficiency turbine will be improved remarkably if are used parabolic through solar system. It also increase a thermal plant,...

Heavy oil pollution caused by tanker accidents is one of the most important environmental issues in the world. The pollution is related to the impact on marine organisms, since heavy oil consists of toxic substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals and benzol. However, the effect of heavy oil on the fish immune system is not well understood. In the present study, th...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence of and risk factors for persistently elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and hypotony in patients who have undergone pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection for the management of complex retinal detachment. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The medical records of 532 patients who underwent silicone oil injection for the management of complex retinal detachment...

A method for determining the subcellular metabolite levels in spinach protoplasts is described. The protoplasts are disrupted by centrifugation through a nylon net, releasing intact chloroplasts which pass through a layer of silicone oil into perchloric acid while the remaining cytoplasmic components remain over the oil and are simultaneously quenched as acid is centrifuged into them. Cross-con...

Herein, we report a case of abrupt suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) that developed during peritoneal dialysis in a patient with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. A 53-year-old female patient visited our clinic with blurred vision due to vitreous hemorrhage and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Her medical history included diabetes, hypertension, chronic renal failure, and she had received sc...

Gnanalingham J, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-220555 Description An 84 -year-old woman was admitted following a slight mechanical fall while she was in her garden. She had banged the back of her head followed by a brief period of nausea and vomiting which was self-limiting. One year before, the patient underwent surgical repair for retinal detachment of left eye with involvemen...
