The pathomechanism of atopic eczema is complex. Two of the most important exogenous factors for atopic eczema are allergenic and irritant substances. In this study we investigate the combined effect of topical aeroallergens and irritation on the skin of atopic individuals. We performed patch testing with several aeroallergens (atopy patch test) and with an irritant, sodium lauryl sulphate, on c...

The desilication effects of aluminium sulphate and sodium aluminate on kraft bamboo pulp during the cooking process were investigated in this study. Furthermore, the residual aluminium ion concentration in the resulting black liquor was measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) to evaluate the scaling properties of black liquor during the evaporation process....

The molybdenum- and iron-containing protein components of nitrogenase purified from Klebsiella pneumoniae, Azotobacter vinelandii, Azotobacter chroococcum and Rhizobium japonicum bacteroids all gave either one or two protein-staining bands after sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, depending on the commercial brand of sodium dodecyl sulphate used. The single band obtained...

1. The alpha-fibrous protein (alpha-keratin) component of bovine epidermis has been extracted and characterized. 2. Prekeratin, a multichain unit of the epidermal tonofilaments, was shown to consist of six different polypeptide chains on polyacrylamide-gel systems containing sodium dodecyl sulphate or sodium decyl sulphate with discontinuous gel buffers, but only three chains were seen when a g...

The aim of present study was to enhance topical permeation of clotrimazole gel preparation by using various permeability enhancers such as coconut oil, pistachio oil and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). Clotrimazole gel preparations were prepared and optimized by using three factor, five level central composite design. A second-order polynomial equation was generated in order to estimate the effec...

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of 3% sodium tetradecyl sulphate (STS) in intraoral vascular lesions. Methods: Cross sectional study was done oral and maxillofacial surgery department Islam dental college from 1st Jan 2020 to 31st Dec 2021. 18 cases were selected with non-probability sampling technique.3% STS solution intralesional injected. Site size lesion, pain intensity, burning sensation, ti...

A simple, rapid, sensitive and high resolution SAX HPLC method for the determination of Dermatan sulphate (an impurity) and Oversulphated chondroitin sulphate (a contaminant) in Heparin sodium drug substance has been developed. This method was developed to address the issues of very long runtime, poor resolution between heparin, DS & OSCS, broad peaks, high drift in the baseline and lesser sens...

The technique of three-phase partitioning (TPP) was used to purify the green fluorescent protein (GFP) in a single step. TPP uses a combination of ammonium sulphate and tert-butanol to precipitate proteins from their crude extracts. In the first round of TPP with 20% ammonium sulphate saturation at the ratio of crude to tert-butanol 1:1 (v/v), most of the GFP remains in the lower aqueous phase....

The binding of bovine testicular hyaluronidase to AH-Sepharose (1,6-diaminohexane--Sepharose) gels substituted with (1) dermatan sulphate, (2) desulphated dermatan sulphate, (3) heparin and (4) de-N/O-sulphated, re-N-acetylated heparin was investigated. Hyaluronidase was found to bind to (1) and (3), but not (2) and (4). On the basis of these observations a preparative scheme for the purificati...

The effect of magnesium sulphate in releasing calcium emission from interference by phosphate and sulphate has been investigated. Samples were diluted in 10 mM MgSO(4), 2 mM NaCl, giving final calcium concentrations of about 0.05 to 0.10 mM. In this diluent, galvanometer readings were proportional to calcium concentrations up to 0.4 mM. The magnesium sulphate released calcium emission from depr...
