Two experiments were conducted to evaluate potential detoxifying agents on growth of nursery pigs fed deoxynivalenol (DON)-contaminated diets. Naturally DON-contaminated wheat (6 mg/kg) was used to achieve desired DON levels. In a 21-d study, 238 pigs (13.4 ± 1.8 kg BW) were used in a completely randomized design with a 2 × 2 + 1 factorial arrangement. Diets were: 1) Positive control (PC; < 0.5...

Several screening methods for detecting sickling hemoglobins are presently used in the clinical laboratory (1-6). The present procedure depends on the insolubility of reduced hemoglobin S in a 2.24 mol/liter phosphate buffer. The commercially available “Sickledex” (Ortho Diagnostics, Raritan, N.J. 08869) is also thought to be based on this principle (6). Our method was compared with the standar...

Presented at the Book and Paper Group Session, AIC’s 39th Annual Meeting, May 31–June 3, 2011, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. shown, in the experiment presented in this paper, to have significant success in removing rust from paper. The intent of the experiment described in this paper was to compare both reducing agents’ ability to reduce and eliminate rust stains from paper. Qualitative results d...

BACKGROUND Sodium metabisulfite is added to a commercial propofol emulsion as an antimicrobial agent. The sulfite ion (SO3(-2)) is capable of undergoing a number of reactions, including autooxidation and the promotion of lipid peroxidation. This study evaluated sulfite reactivity in propofol emulsions by determining thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS), sulfite depletion, and emulsio...

Pearl millet is a gluten free cereal resistant to drought, diseases and pests. The major protein fraction in pearl prolamin the alcohol soluble called pennisetin. Researches on factors affecting pennisetin extraction its functional properties are still very scant. In this paper, effect of temperature, reducing agents (β-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol or sodium metabisulfite) hydroxide was asse...

Elevated synaptic levels of dopamine may induce striatal neurodegeneration in l-DOPA-unresponsive parkinsonism subtype of multiple system atrophy (MSA-P subtype), multiple system atrophy, and methamphetamine addiction. We examined the participation of dopamine and D1 dopamine receptors in the genesis of postsynaptic neurodegeneration. Chronic treatment of human SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cells with ...

Abstract Patch testing is an important tool in the assessment of facial dermatitis. The cosmetic or series haptens are highly relevant British Society for Cutaneous Allergy has recently updated to include reduced number 24 haptens. We compared positive allergens found Chemotechnique Cosmetic (60 haptens) with that (BSCA) series. conducted a retrospective review patients who were patch tested ov...
