Fibre optic confocal imaging (FOCI) enabled subsurface fluorescence microscopy of the skin of hairless mice in vivo. Application of acridine orange enabled imaging of the layers of the epidermis. The corneocytes of the stratum corneum, the keratinocytes in the basal layers and redundant hair follicles were visualised at depths greater than 100 microm. Cellular and nuclear membranes of keratinoc...

Immediate allergic reactions to orange are rare and immunoglobulin (Ig) E–mediated [1]. We report the case of a 28-year-old man with anaphylaxis induced by fresh orange juice. The reaction was dose-dependent and could only be confi rmed by challenge test, because specifi c IgE to orange was undetectable by skin prick test (SPT) and CAP immunoassay. The patient had experienced identical anaphyla...

Orange peel is one of byproduct from the kalamansi syrup industry. oil stored in gland skin (flavedo). contains cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and other components. Degradation carried out by biological agents such as bacteria fungi can increase yield. This study aimed to determine effect fermentation time amount inoculum on yield orange oil. consisted two factors, namely length (2 days, 4 6 ...

Although house dust is known to be a predominant source of exposure to PBDEs, it's not yet clear which part of the dust these chemicals bind to. The dust pictured above contains pet hair (rust brown), pollen (yellow), plant fibers (green), dead skin cells (light to medium brown), dirt and minerals (orange), textile fibers (blue), and spider silk (pink).
