The aim of this study was to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of iodoform, calcium hydroxide, IKI (iodine potassium iodine) and CFC (ciprofloxacin, Flagyl (metronidazole) and calcium hydroxide) required to kill S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis and B. fragilis. In the experiment, medicaments were added to bacterial species into test tubes, in 10 differ...

BACKGROUND Fungal keratitis is a suppurative, ulcerative, and sight-threatening infection of the cornea that sometimes leads to loss of the eye. The objectives of this study were to improve facilities for laboratory diagnosis, to determine the predominant causative microorganisms, and to identify the predisposing factors of mycotic keratitis patients. METHODS A prospective study of corneal ul...

In 1941 Pangborn (1) reported the isolation of a complex phosphatidic acid from beef heart and suggested the name cardiolipin for it. The presence of this phospholipide seems to be essential for the complementbinding activity of beef heart extracts with sera of syphilitic patients. On hydrolysis (2) with ethanolic potassium hydroxide at room temperature the phosphatidic acid yielded, in additio...

The title compound, C(9)H(7)N(5), was synthesized by reaction of 4-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile and 2H-tetrazole in the presence of KOH. The relative orientation of the planar tetra-zole ring and the methyl-benzonitrile moiety is (-)-anti-clinal. The crystal packing is dominated by van der Waals inter-actions.

A facile access to polysubstituted 3-(isoxazol-5-yl)pyrroles was developed through [3+2] cycloaddition of tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) and styrylisoxazoles. In the presence of KOH, various styrylisoxazoles reacted smoothly with tosylmethyl isocyanide and analogs to deliver a wide range of 3-(isoxazol-5-yl)pyrroles at ambient temperature. This transformation is operationally simple, high-yiel...

Solar-assisted water splitting can potentially provide an efficient route for large-scale renewable energy conversion and storage. It is essential for such a system to provide a sufficiently high photocurrent and photovoltage to drive the water oxidation reaction. Here we demonstrate a photoanode that is capable of achieving a high photovoltage by engineering the interfacial energetics of metal...
