The umu test system is a newly developed method to evaluate genotoxicities of a wide variety of environmental carcinogens and mutagens (Oda et al., 1985; Nakamura et al., 1987). In the present study, SOS-inducing activity of 142 synthetic dyes was investigated by the umu test using Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535/pSK1002) under the condition of absence and presence of rat liver microsomal fracti...

Selective polymeric extractants were prepared for preconcentration of Cibacron reactive red dye, a dye that is often applied with Cibacron reactive blue and Cibacron reactive yellow for dyeing of fabrics. The best extractant was fabricated (in chloroform) using methacrylic acid (as monomer), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (as crosslinker), AIBN (as initiator for polymerization), and red dye as ...

background: although red meat consumption is related to the prevalence of diabetes, few data are available showing the relationship between red meat intake, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome. the study aimed to identify the association between the red meat intake, metabolic syndrome, and circulating concentration of c-reactive protein (crp) as a surrogate measure of inflammation. methods: in...

INTRODUCTION Red blood cell transfusions are common in intensive care units. For many years, transfusions of red blood were thought to have obvious clinical benefits. However, in recent years, the risks and benefits of blood transfusions have been examined more carefully, including the risk of increased morbidity and mortality due to transfusion-related immunomodulation effects. OBJECTIVES To...

Automatic Code Generation for Red-Time Reactive Systems in TROMLAB Environment

In this work, response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were used to predict the decolorization efficiency of Reactive Red 33 (RR 33) by applying the O3/UV process in a bubble column reactor. The effects of four independent variables including time (20-60 min), superficial gas velocity (0.06-0.18 cm/s), initial concentration of dye (50-150 ppm), and pH (3-11) were i...

objective(s) sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder characterized by chronic haemolytic anaemia. haemoglobin s containing red blood cells may be susceptible to oxidative stress due to imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species and the countering effect of the various antioxidants present in the body. materials and methods we evaluated some antioxidant enzymes which include gluta...

Synthetic dyes are using extensively in various industries such as textile, leather tanning, plastic, pulp and paper. Since this dyes are mainly toxic and even carcinogenic, discharging dye containing wastewater into the environment generates serious environmental and health consequences. Therefore, in this research investigated and evaluated the removal effect of Reactive Red 120 (RR 120) from...
