The dissolution of sugarcane bagasse cellulose (SBC) in zinc chloride solution was studied at elevated temperatures. Based on single factor experiments, the effects of zinc chloride mass fraction, dissolution time, temperature, and bagasse cellulose mass fraction were investigated by an orthogonal experiment, and the optimal dissolution conditions were obtained. The dissolution process of bagas...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a health problem affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Diabetic nephropathy (DN), as a significant complication of DM, has become the most common cause of endstage renal failure. Oxidative stress constitutes the key and common events in the pathogenesis of DN and antioxidants may play a beneficial role in its prevention. This study was conducted to investigate t...

To research the relationship of micro-structures and antibacterial properties of the titanium-doped ZnO powders and probe their antibacterial mechanism, titanium-doped ZnO powders with different shapes and sizes were prepared from different zinc salts by alcohothermal method. The ZnO powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), u...

Background: Since heavy metals can accumulate in the tissues of aquatic organisms, they can cause a range of hazardous effects which can become harmful to humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of some heavy metals as potential dangerous substances by assessing the mortality effects of Mercuric Chloride (HgCl2), Lead Chloride (PbCl2) and Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4) pollutan...

Mohs melanoma chemosurgery using 50% zinc chloride has not been widely accepted despite a 30-year consecutive series indicating 53% survival improvement (p = .003) for advancedmelanomas over conventional surgery. In chemosurgery, melanomas are fixed and removed in layers with 24-hour zinc chloride paste applications before each excision. An extra application is made to the tumor-free plane to e...

Objective: To see the dose dependent effects of zinc chloride on the short-term and long-term memory in a shuttle box (rats). Methodology: Six pair adult wistar rats were taken for this experiment. One group of pregnant rats received a daily oral dose of 20mg/kg Zn as zinc chloride and the remaining groups received a daily oral dose of (30, 50, 70,100mg/kg) zinc chloride for two weeks by gavage...

A comparative analysis of a magnesium-zinc stabilizer based on pentaerythritol and standard calcium-zinc stearic acid was carried out. The influence the ratio magnesium (PenMg) to zinc (PenZn) thermal thermo-mechanical stability polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is considered.

Doping of zinc with silver, palladium, and gold was found to increase reactivity towards carbon tetrachloride in water. Commercial zinc dust, cryochemically prepared zinc metal particles (SMAD nanoparticles), and zinc dust pressed into pellets (mechanically activated zinc) were employed. Reduction products detected were methane, ethylene, acetylene, and other hydrocarbons along with products of...

Zinc has been shown to have antioxidant properties and to exhibit inhibitory effects on apoptosis. In this work we investigated the effect of zinc on DNA integrity and on apoptosis of HaCaT keratinocytes. Cells were submitted to zinc deprivation by a diffusible zinc chelator, (N,N,N',N'-tetrakis (2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine) (TPEN) or supplied with zinc chloride and submitted to UVB radiati...
