Potassium tribromide wrapped around polyethylene glycol ({K+PEG400}Br3-) was easily prepared by two step reaction of PEG400 with KBr followed by the addition of molecular bromine to give PEG embedded potassium tribromide as a dark viscous oil. The synthesized material was found to be an efficient, cost effective, environmentally benig...

The effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200 administered by gavage on electrolyte and water excretion were investigated in the rat. PEG 200 led, in intact rats, to dose-related increased drinking and to diuresis. In the first 2 h after PEG 200 administration, water consumption in intact rats exceeded urine output. PEG 200 enhanced the excretion of both sodium and potassium, but the sodium excr...

The physicochemical properties of Doxorubicin–PEG–FOL and Daunorubicin-PEG-FOL ( Doxorubicin and Daunorubicin conjugated to polyethylene glycol–folate nanoparticles) have been estimated using Density functional Theory (DFT) and Hartree Fock(HF) calculations.In this report some geometrical parameters of Doxorubicin-PEG-FOL complex of the conjugated complex and Daunorubicin–PEG–FOL complex of the...

Front Cover: In article number 2000754, Susan M. Kelleher and co-workers outline an accessible scalable method for polyethylene glycol (PEG)-tapered nanopillar array production. Photopolymerisation of acrylateterminated polypropylene (PPG) PEG monomeric/photoinitiator cocktails is utilised to cast high fidelity replicas silicon arrays. this way, rapid prototyping polymeric nanostructured surfac...

The effect of coating silica with polyethylene glycol on the adsorption iron and phosphate ions in industrial wastewater was investigated. Variable factors were temperature time coating, PEG concentration, to ratio. Infrared spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy used evaluate chemical structure morphology PEG-coated silica. Optimum removal efficiency obtained using a 50°C, 15 min, concentra...

Silicon is known to ameliorate the deleterious effects of drought on plant growth. We evaluated growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. CV. Chamran) under Water-Deficit Stress Induced by Polyethylene Glycol as affected by Si application. In this article, the effects of Si (as potassium silicate) on some parameters related to growth, chlorophyll concentration relative water content (RWC), electrol...

The current study includes the screening of indigenous extracellular laccase producing fungus from the soil, identified as Phanerochaete chrysosporiumspecies.The selected strain was applied under the optimized condition for the production of  laccase in the solid state fermentation. The effect of polyethylene glycol and Triton X-100 on the enhancement of enzyme activity and bi...

HBs vaccines were prepared by three different methods: 1) Heat inactivation (Krugman, et.al 1971)2) Ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by column chromatography (Sephadex G-200) 3) PEG-6000 (polyethylene glycol) precipitation followed by column chromatography using Sephadex G-200. Their efficacy was studied in guinea pigs, and the results compared with commercial Japanese vaccine (Gr...

Objective- The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of senna as an alternative or adjunct to polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution in dogs using colonoscopy and radiography.Design - Experimental study.Animals - 20 adult mongrel healthy dogs.Procedures- Dogs were randomly allocated to receive 1 of 4 different bowel preparation regimens including PEG, senna or ...
