Aspergillus fumigatus spores in food may represent an infectious risk for neutropenic patients. We examined the efficiency of disinfection procedures applicable to foods for eradication of A fumigatus. Boiling and microwave treatment fully decontaminated an experimental spore suspension and naturally contaminated liquid foods (reconstituted dried food, herbal tea). Full decontamination of exper...

Experimental protocols and functional studies: All animal procedures were approved by the Animal Studies Subcommittee (IACUC) of the San Francisco Veterans Administration Medical Center and performed in accordance with their guidelines. Since hesperidin is not soluble in 100% ethanol, 70% ethanol was used as vehicle. Since the turnover time for hairless is about 8-9.5 days in normal young mice ...

plants are rich source of phenolic compounds (phenolic acids, flavonoids and tannins) that are most important natural antioxidants. in the present study two ultrasonic methods including probe and bath were used for the extraction of phenolic and flavonoid compounds from celtis australis. the effects of different extraction time including 30, 60 and 90 min (bath method) and 5, 10 and 20 min (pro...

PURPOSE We sought to determine whether a regimen of 70% ethanol locks could reduce the rate of central venous catheter (CVC) infections in parenteral nutrition-dependent children with intestinal failure. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 23 parenteral nutrition-dependent children in our multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation clinic who started ethanol lock therapy between Se...

The aim of this research was to introduce a novel method use zein protein and stabilize an ethanol-based emulsion. To study the effect ethanol in continuous phase emulsion on stability microstructure emulsions, content tuned range 50–90%v/v. Also, concentration emulsions examined. mean droplet size were measured using static light scattering (SLS), with Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CA...

Adenosine and PGE2 are neuromodulators, both of which inhibit fetal breathing movements (FBM). Although circulating PGE2 has been implicated as a mediator of ethanol-induced inhibition of FBM in the late-gestation ovine fetus, a role for adenosine has not been examined. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of maternal ethanol infusion on ovine fetal cerebral extracellular flu...

For producing second-generation ethanol (cellulosic ethanol) and other value-added bioproducts, magnetic graphene oxide (GO-MNP) was synthesized in this work used as the immobilization support for an industrial cellulase-and xylanase-containing preparation. GO-MNP characterization by TEM, SEM ATR-FTIR spectroscopy showed that nanoparticles are homogeneously distributed onto GO sheets surface. T...

Abstract Background In this study, turmeric ( Curcuma longa L.) powder was prepared with various extraction and drying methods. Extractions were performed using three solvents (water, 50% ethanol, 70% ethanol) methods, namely, spray (SD), freeze (FD), spray-freeze (SFD). Results Levels of the curcuminoids, curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, in preparations analysed HPLC, scannin...
