Background: Helicobacter pylori, which is associated with many upper gastrointestinal diseases, is found in half of the population of the world. Several special stains and immunohistochemistry stain for H. pylori are available. The need for and usefulness of immunohistochemical (IHC) technique has been debated for years. Toluidine blue is a simple stain for microbiological studies and is easily...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance characteristics of three fecal occult blood tests (FOBTs): the chemical o-toluidine test, the immunochemical OC-Hemodia test, and the immunochromatographic Quick Chaser Occult Blood (QCOB) test, which detect human hemoglobin and transferrin simultaneously in cases of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Included were 48 FOBT specimens i...

Synthesis of (PNP(R))ReOCl(2) (PNP(R) = (R(2)PCH(2)SiMe(2))(2)N, R = (i)()Pr, Cy, and (t)()Bu) from (Me(2)S)(2)ReOCl(3) and (PNP(R))MgCl is described. Magnesium and H(2) convert (PNP(R))ReOCl(2) first to (PNP(R))ReO(H)(2) and then to (PNP(R))Re(H)(4), the last being an operationally unsaturated species which can bind PMe(3) or p-toluidine. Acyclic alkenes react with (PNP(R))Re(H)(4) at 22 degre...

The mol-ecules of the title compound, C(22)H(17)N, are linked by weak inter-actions, among which the most prominent are C-H⋯π inter-actions. The dihedral angles between the phenyl rings and the quinoline ring system are 43.3 (3) and 21.4 (3)°. The title product resulted from a three-component reaction of benzaldehyde, 1-ethynylbenzene and p-toluidine via C-H activation of 1-ethynylbenzene catal...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In vivo stains are prompt resources, which have emerged, in the recent years, to aid as clinical diagnostic tools in detecting early premalignant and malignant lesions. The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic efficiency of toluidine blue with Lugol's iodine in oral premalignancies and malignancies and to evaluate the reliability of in vivo staining with to...

the aim followed in the present study was to evaluate the effect of estradiol (e2) injection and injection (either intramuscular (i.m) or intravenous (i.v)) of various doses of oxytocin (ot) on cervix dilation and on conception rate in zandi ewes during late breeding season. sixty three ewes were randomly selected. in experiment 1, the ewes received 100 µl e2 and 12h later were divided and assi...
