Background: Superficial mucocele presents as small, clear vesicle on noninflamed mucosa. In this study, we report several vesicles on the bucal mucosa of a woman diagnosed as superficial mucocele.Case Presentation: A 48-year old woman presented with multiple vesicles on her labial mucosa, ventral surface of the tongue, floor of the mouth and palate. A mucosal biopsy was taken from the vesicle. ...

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Linn. is one of medicinal plants in Indonesia that is used as a male contraceptive. Hibiscus flower contains flavonoids that can decrease testosterone. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of hibiscus flower extract on the weight of the epididymis, prostate and seminal vesicles, and the thickness of the cauda epididymal epithelium, in male rats. 25 male ...

RAFT aqueous emulsion polymerization of hydroxybutyl methacrylate using a poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) precursor leads to diblock copolymer spheres, worms or vesicles. A pseudo-phase diagram is constructed and the vesicles are briefly evaluated as Pickering emulsifier.

To resolve the apparent conflict between a lubricating glycoprotein, 'lubricin', as the active ingredient in synovial fluid (SF) and surface-active phospholipid (SAPL) present in SF (and adsorbed to articular cartilage) as the boundary lubricant reducing friction to such low physiological levels, lubricin was isolated from bovine SF following the original procedure of Swann et al. (Arthritis Rh...

We synthesized a new water-soluble tribenzotriquinacene-based hexacarboxylate (TBTQ-C6, or H) which can associate with an azobenzene-containing amphiphile (trans-AZO) to form the H ⊃ trans-AZO supra-amphiphile by host-guest interactions in water. This further self-assembles into photo and pH dual-responsive vesicles. The reversible conversion between vesicles micelles be easily controlled both ...
