the hydroxyl radical (oh•) is a powerful oxidant produced as a consequence of cavitation in water. it can react nonspecifically in breaking down persistent organic pollutants in water into their mineral form. it can also recombine to form hydrogen peroxide which is very useful in water treatment. in this study, terephthalic acid (ta) and potassium iodide dosimetry were used to quantify and inve...

a feasible and fast method to fabricate hydrogen peroxide sensor was investigated by graphene-manganase nanocomposite carbone paste electrode. in the present work, in first step, the graphene was synthesized by chemical method and in second step, manganese oxide nanoparticle was doped on graphene. graphene-manganase nanocomposite was characterized by ftir and sem. the nanocomposite shows a high...

environmental pollution by 2,4-dicholorphenol (2,4-dcp), commonly found in industrial wastewater has been a concern for humans over the past 50 years. garden radish peroxidase (grp) can eliminate this poisonous pollutant. the aim of this study was to apply an experimental response surface methodology (rsm) and central composite design (ccd) to optimize grp-based treatment in order to maximize ...

anionic dbs surfactant can be photodegraded in a tio2 dispersion and h2o2 solution under an hg-lamp (15 w) uv illumination or solar exposure. degradation process has been monitored through cleavage of aromatic moiety. degradation of the detergent was small when the photolysis was carried out in the absence of tio2 and h2o2 and it was negligible in the absence of light. most of the curves repres...

refining oil-contaminated soils has a great importance especially in oil producer countries such as iran. different methods have been provided to eliminate oil contaminations from soil. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide concentration in refining oil-contaminated soils with fenton chemical method. to do this, a calcareous soil complex sample was collected a...

gross hematuria or macroscopic hematuria is a high risk urologic condition that might occur in different settings. in the case of continued gross hematuria, blood clot size may grow and lead to complete obstruction of urinary outflow. placement of three-way catheter, continuous bladder irrigation with normal saline, and cystoscopy are conventional treatments. here we introduce a case with urina...

Information on unique and coordinated regulation of transcription and translation in response to stress is central to the understanding of cellular homeostasis. Here we used ribosome profiling coupled with next-generation sequencing to examine the interplay between transcription and translation under conditions of hydrogen peroxide treatment in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hydrogen peroxide treatm...

The formation of hydrogen peroxide during the oxidation of NADH by purified preparations of cytochrome o has been demonstrated by employing three independent methods: polarographic, calorimetric, and fluorometric. The first two methods were used to assay for the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and showed that hydrogen peroxide did accumulate as a product, but only about 30% of the oxygen cons...

Lactoperoxidase catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate by hydrogen peroxide into hypothiocyanite, a reaction which can protect bacterial and mammalian cells from killing by hydrogen peroxide. The present study demonstrates, however, that lactoperoxidase in the presence of thiocyanate can actually potentiate the bactericidal and cytotoxic effects of hydrogen peroxide under specific conditions, s...

Purpose : To 1) evaluate the embryotoxic effects of hydrogen peroxide on mouse embryo development and 2) examine if pentoxifylline can reverse hydrogen peroxide induced embryotoxicity. Methods : Prospective in vitro study examining the effects of varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and pentoxifylline on the blastocyst development rate alone as well as in combination. Results : A dose-de...
