Gamma irradiation was tested as a method for sterilization of pluronic F-127 gel to be used for ocular delivery of ciprofloxacin (CFX). The effect of gamma irradiation on the properties of pluronic gels was studied at different irradiation doses and pluronic copolymer concentrations. The flow of pluronic gels of different concentrations was non-Newtonian with thixotropic pseudoplastic propertie...

Ceftriaxone (cfx), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, leads to transient cholelithiasis in some children, also known as pseudolithiasis. However, the underlying pathogenetic mechanism of this adverse effect has not yet been elucidated. We describe 3 children with ceftriaxone-induced pseudolithiasis, who were also carriers of the A(TA)(7)TAA polymorphism of the UGT1A1 gene, implying th...

Cefoxitin (CFX), cefmetazole (CMZ) and YM093301), and 6059-S2) have a 7a-methoxyl group (a unique structural feature of the cephamycin family) in the cephalosporin nucleus and 1oxa cephalosporin nucleus, respectively (Fig. 1). These compounds are resistant to hydrolysis by various bacterial i3-lactamases. This resistance character also provides the antibiotic with a broad antibacterial spectrum...

Environmental pollution due to antibiotics is a serious problem. In this work, the adsorption and desorption of antibiotic cefuroxime (CFX) were studied in four by-products/residues from forestry food industries. For this, batch-type experiments carried out, adding increasing concentrations CFX (from 0 50 µmol L?1) 0.5 g adsorbent. The materials with pH higher than 9 (mussel shell wood ash) tho...

The modern direction in the study of safety nuclear power plants is to ensure maximum level detail process modeling with a satisfactory computational resources. One approaches such task solving coupled use special software required levels detail, for example, systemic thermohydraulic codes hydrodynamics codes.
 This article describes developed coupling module between system code RELAP5/Mod...

One of the strengths of a graphics calculator is the potential it offers for students to explore mathematical ideas from a few different perspectives. A good example of this involves the normal probability distribution, frequently encountered in senior secondary courses involving statistics. This note describes a few ways in which the Casio cfx-9850G series of calculators can be used to evaluat...
