abstract: background: a new type of drug delivery system known as mucoadhesive film has been developed for oral thrush treatment. due to comfortable use of this drug delivery system, this would be encouragingly utilized, especially in babies and patient under chemotherapy. nystatin mucoadhesive film (nmf) is a polymeric film which is adhered to front upper gum and back to the upper lip and rele...

BACKGROUND Ovine pregnancy toxaemia is a common metabolic disorder of ewes due to increased foetal energy requirements in late pregnancy. This pathology is a metabolic condition characterized by hypoglycaemia and hyperketonaemia resulting in the inability of the animal to maintain an adequate energy balance. The response to treatment is effective, if it is started in the early stages of the dis...

SummaryWhile the freezing techniques of mammal embryos have been providing promising results, the cryopreservation of teleostean eggs and embryos have remained unsuccessful up to now. Therefore, this work aimed to develop a procedure of cryogenic preservation of embryos of Prochilodus lineatus and to observe, at both structural and ultrastructural levels, the morphological alterations that took...

BACKGROUND Compounds present in green tea have proved to inhibit the growth and activity of bacteria associated with infections. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of green tea leaves extract in presence of propylene glycol on the aerobic mouth bacteria load. MATERIALS AND METHODS Saliva of 25 volunteer girl students aging 20-25 years were selected and evaluated by a mouthwash sample containi...

Single intraperitoneal injections (of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 ml per kilogram body weight) of a solution of sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/mI, in propylene glycol, 40 ml/100 ml) elevated rat serum triglyceride values obtained by the semi-automated fluorometric method of Kessler and Lederer. Increases of 267, 619, and 813%, respectively, were noted within 5 mm. Liver triglycerides and other major lipid f...

We sought to determine if the solvent in the formulation of etomidate is responsible for haemolysis in patients. In a randomized, prospective, double-blind study of 49 patients undergoing otolaryngological surgery, patients received etomidate dissolved in propylene glycol or in lipid emulsion. Concentrations of free haemoglobin and haptoglobin were measured before and for up to 360 min after in...

Partial molar volumes of copper sulphate and zinc sulphate have been determined in water and binary aqueous mixtures of propylene glycol (2,4,6 and 8% by weight of propylene glycol) at 303.15 K with the help of density measurements. Effect of temperature on the partial molar volumes was also analysed for these salts in water and binary aqueous mixtures of propylene glycol. Results obtained have...

A new methacrylate monomer with two propylene glycol groups on the side chain, di(propylene glycol) methyl ether (diPGMA), was synthesised and homo- co-polymerised for first time.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of a sustained propylene glycol administration to recipients of frozen/thawed in vivo derived bovine embryos. Heifers were treated with oral propylene glycol for the last 20 days before embryo transfer (n = 142), and untreated as controls (n = 133). Progesterone, insulin, insulin-like growth factor-I, glucose, urea and triglyceride were an...
