OBJECTIVE Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) or Betadine, owing to its antineoplastic activity, is also used as an adjuvant during intra-abdominal or intrathoracic surgery. However, the protocol of PVP-I administration has not been optimized to achieve the best antitumoural efficacy. We aimed to determine the optimal concentration of PVP-I, the time of incubation and the mechanism of cell death by analysi...

To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacies of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), and percutaneous mesh-container-plasty (PMCP) for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), a retrospective study of 90 patients with VCFs who had been treated by PVP (n = 30), PKP (n = 30), and PMCP (n = 30) was conducted. The clinical efficacies of these three tr...

Tumilowicz, Joseph J. (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pa.), and Klaus Hummeler. Heterogeneity of apparently complete poliovirus particles. J. Bacteriol. 87:1105-1113. 1964.-A chromatographic procedure was developed for separating the N from the H complement-fixing antigen of poliovirus. This procedure concomitantly effected some separation of classes of N particle. The ratio...

Poorly water-soluble drugs N-5159, griseofulvin (GFV), glibenclamide (GBM) and nifedipine (NFP) were ground in a dry process with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Different crystallinity behavior of each drug during grinding was shown in the ternary Drug/PVP/SDS system. However, when each ternary Drug/PVP/SDS ground mixture was added to distilled water, crystalline n...

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1M H2SO4 by polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and the synergistic effect of iodide ions were investigated using weight loss and hydrogen evolution methods in the temperature range of 30 – 60 o C. The corrosion rates of mild steel decreased with the increasing concentration of PVP, while the inhibition efficiency (%I) increased. The inhibition efficiency of PV...

Welfare trade-offs between intellectual property (IP) protections provided by patents and by plant variety protection (PVP) are explored. PVP breeders’ exemption weakens IP protection, but may speed the transfer of research gains across firms. A model is developed assuming firms optimise research given existing IP protection. A baseline scenario supporting each system is used to perform welfare...

PVP-CMC and PVP-CMC-BA are designated as medicated hydrogels which are elastic in nature like other gels and solids. This present work was focused on the effect of strain on viscoelastic behavior of these medicated hydrogels. Dynamic frequency sweep test at 10% strain and dynamic strain sweep tests at different angular frequencies were performed on these hydrogels. Freshly prepared hydrogels an...

We present two scalar processors called PVP-SWPC and PVP-SWSW for high-speed list vector processing. Memory access latency should be tolerated for this objective. PVP-SWPC tolerates the latency by introducing slide-windowed floating-point registers and prefetch-tocache instruction. PVP-SWSW tolerates the latency by introducing slide-windowed general and floating-point registers. Owing to the sl...

The inhibition of crystallization of amorphous acetaminophen (ACTA) by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) was studied using amorphous solid dispersions prepared by melt quenching. Co-melting with PVP and PAA decreased the average molecular mobility, as indicated by increases in glass transition temperature and enthalpy relaxation time. The ACTA/PAA dispersion exhibited much s...

BACKGROUND Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated that polyvinylpyrrolidone coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-coated AgNPs) have antiviral activity against HIV-1 at non-cytotoxic concentrations. These particles also demonstrate broad spectrum virucidal activity by preventing the interaction of HIV-1 gp120 and cellular CD4, thereby inhibiting fusion or entry of the virus into the host cell. ...
