The use of pig slurry as organic fertilizer in intensive horticulture could be possible after hygienization to avoid contamination products. This research aimed evaluate a mixture tomato waste and rice husk biofilter media reduce NH3, N2O, CO2, CH4 losses from simple low-cost solution for by pH modification. experiment was made system laboratory scale biofilters connected jars filled with raw c...

Carrageenan is a polysaccharide compound extracted from red seaweed and widely used by food, cosmetic, advanced materials industries because of its good properties as an environmentally friendly stabilizer. extraction generally uses alkaline treatment for one full day, where the to obtain carrageenan quality with gel characteristics. The use cellulase enzymes thought accelerate desulfuration pr...

Background: Carbamazepine (CBZ) is an effective antiepileptic drug (AED) used as first line of for partial and convulsive generalized epilepsy in all age groups. Most common clinically reported side effect CBZ blurry or double vision. How it affects retinal histological architecture has not been explored yet. Aim: To observe the light microscopic changes adult Wistar albino rats after administr...

The vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) proton pump sustains cellular pH homeostasis, and its inhibition triggers numerous stress responses. However, the cellular mechanisms involved remain largely elusive in cancer cells. We studied V-ATPase in the prostate cancer (PCa) cell line PC-3, which has characteristics of highly metastatic PCa. V-ATPase inhibitors impaired endo-lysosomal pH, vesicle traffickin...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To quantitatively assess cocaine liberation from various body packet materials. DESIGN 100-milligram cocaine packets (plastic bags with various wrapping techniques, paper, and condoms) were placed in a simulated gastric medium. Samples were also tested in an alkalinized gastric medium, with determination of both cocaine and benzoylecogonine concentrations using high-performanc...

Membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase (CA) is critical to renal acidification. The role of CA activity on the basolateral membrane of the proximal tubule has not been defined clearly. To investigate this issue in microperfused rabbit proximal straight tubules in vitro, we measured fluid and HCO(3)(-) absorption and cell pH before and after the extracellular CA inhibitor p-fluorobenzyl-aminobenzolam...
