We and others have established a role for T lymphocytes and their products in the regulation of erythropoiesis. Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a multipotential lymphokine with burst-promoting activity that is produced by activated T lymphocytes. In the anemic, stem cell-defective W/Wv mouse we have described the absence of a functionally active thymocyte population that in normal animals enhances eryt...

We sought to understand the effect of a transient exposure of cardiac myocytes to H2O2 at a concentration that did not induce apoptosis. Myocytes were exposed to 30 mol/L H2O2 for 5 minutes followed by 10 U/mL catalase for 5 minutes to degrade the H2O2. Cellular superoxide was measured using dihydroethidium. Transient exposure to H2O2 caused a 66.4% increase in dihydroethidium signal compared w...

Decolourisation of Anionic cum acidic azo dye Amaranth was carried out by an Advanced Oxidation Process Solar/H2O2. Dye samples concentration 100 mg/L taken in 250 ml conical flasks that were treated with 30% H2O2 and exposed to sun light the intensity range 60,000-90,000 lux. The impact various parameters decolourisation like initial concentration, pH, solar intensity, additives temperature st...

Complement plays an important role in ischemia-reperfusion injury. We recently demonstrated that reoxygenation of hypoxic human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) activated the classical complement pathway and augmented iC3b deposition. In the present study, we investigated the potential role of oxygen-derived free radicals, NF-kappaB and new protein synthesis in this model. HUVECs subje...

Allicin is a major bioactive ingredient of garlic and has a broad range of biological activities. Allicin has been reported to protect against cell apoptosis induced by H2O2 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The present study evaluated the neuroprotective effect of allicin on the H2O2-induced apoptosis of rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells in vitro and explored the underlying mechanism in...

Schwertmannite-mediated removal of arsenic from contaminated water has attracted increasing attention. However, schwertmannite chemical synthesis behavior under different H2O2 supply rates for ferrous ions oxidation is unclear. This study investigated pH, ferrous ions oxidation efficiency, and total iron precipitation efficiency during schwertmannite synthesis by adding H2O2 into FeSO4 · 7H2O s...

background: a strong antimicrobial synergism between chlorhexidine (chx) and hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) has been reported, but there is not enough data on the cytotoxicity of this combination. the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of chx-h2o2 combination in different concentrations and secondary aim is to assess the infl uence of h2o2 on cytotoxicity of chx on cultured hu...

WorldView commercial imaging satellites comprise a constellation developed by DigitalGlobe Inc. (Longmont, CO, USA). Worldview-3 (WV-3), currently planned for launch in 2014, will have 8 spectral bands in the Visible and Near-Infrared (VNIR), and an additional 8 bands in the Short-Wave-Infrared (SWIR); the approximately 1.0–2.5 μm spectral range. WV-3 will be the first commercial system with bo...
