1. 1 cc. of 0.001 M ferricyanide, tetrathionate, or p-chloromercuribenzoate is required to abolish the SH groups of 10 mg. of denatured egg albumin in guanidine hydrochloride or Duponol PC solution. Both the nitroprusside test and the ferricyanide reduction test are used to show that the SH groups have been abolished. 2. 1 cc. of 0.001 M ferrocyanide is formed when ferricyanide is added to 10 m...

Objective- Because little information was available in the literature about the angiogenic property of enrofloxacin, this investigation was undertaken to evaluate this aspect using an in vivomodel. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Twenty fertile chicken eggs (Ross 308) with the average egg-weight of 55 ± 0.4 g were rand...

The aim of this work was to develop drug-soft contact lens combination products suitable for controlled release of antimicrobial peptides on the ocular surface. Incorporation of functional monomers and the application of molecular imprinting techniques were explored to endow 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) hydrogels with the ability to load and to sustain the release of polymyxin B and vanco...

Polymeric micelles of single and mixed poloxamines (Tetronic) were evaluated regarding their ability to host the antiglaucoma agent ethoxzolamide (ETOX) for topical ocular application. Three highly hydrophilic varieties of poloxamine (T908, T1107 and T1307) and a medium hydrophilic variety (T904), possessing a similar number of propylene oxide units but different contents in ethylene oxide, wer...

In September 1975 Bangladesh was the only country in the world with endemic variola major, and the eradication of the disease was imminent. A rapid and accurate laboratory diagnostic method was required to supplement immunodiffusion in agar gel and culture on chorioallantoic membrane of embryonated egg available at the Institute of Public Health in Dacca, Bangladesh. To determine its effectiven...

The ditriazine derivative DTD (4,10-dichloropyrido[5,6:4,5]thieno[3,2-d':3,2-d]-1,2,3-ditriazine) has been previously reported to reduce the degree of granulomatous inflammation and vascular density in a murine air pouch granuloma model. The aim of this study was to test whether DTD affects angiogenesis. Our results show that DTD inhibits in vivo angiogenesis in the chorioallantoic membrane (CA...

The chorioallantoic membrane resides adjacent to either the inner surface of the egg shell or uterine epithelium in oviparous and viviparous reptiles, respectively. Chorionic cells face the shell or uterine epithelium and transport calcium to underlying embryonic capillaries. Calcium transport activity of the chorioallantois increases in the final stages of development coincident with rapid emb...

Aim: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are good alternatives to conventional medical regimens for the treatment and prevention of thromboembolism. Apixaban is one more popular variations these newly developed drugs. Aside from its anticoagulant potential, possible cellular effects remain a topic future studies. The object this study was investigate antiangiogenic apixaban in chorioallantoic me...
