Article history: Received on: 10/11/2016 Accepted on: 11/12/2016 Available online: 27/02/2017 Six fungal species were isolated from Egyptian soil and identified as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium canescens, Penicillium crustosum, Penicillium sp. and Fusarium sp. and were tested for their decolorization activity of direct blue dye (DB). Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium canes...

When uninjured cells of Valonia are placed in methylene blue dissolved in sea water it is found, after 1 to 3 hours, that at pH 5.5 practically no dye penetrates, while at pH 9.5 more enters the vacuole. As the cells become injured more dye enters at pH 5.5, as well as at pH 9.5. No dye in reduced form is found in the sap of uninjured cells exposed from 1 to 3 hours to methylene blue in sea wat...

vulvar cancer is a rare gynecological malignancy with mainly lymphatic spread. sentinel node mapping plays an important role in the management of this gynecological malignancy. in the current study, we reported our experience in sentinel node mapping of vulvar cancer and review the literature accordingly. since the introduction of sentinel node mapping to the surgical oncology community of our ...

BACKGROUND There is now increasing evidence to support the use of indocyanine green (ICG) for sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection in early breast cancer. The primary objective of this feasibility study (ICG-10) was to determine the sensitivity and safety of ICG fluorescence imaging in sentinel lymph node identification when combined with blue dye and radiocolloid. METHODS One hundred women wi...

The study has focused on the development of a treatment technique and method for dye wastewater, such as an oxidation reduction process. The potentiochromic study of voltage sensitive methylene blue dye was performed in acidic medium at carbon electrodes. It was found that the carbon electrode shows sensitivity and durability for the retardation of dye. From the results it is revealed that the ...

in medicine, patent blue violet (pbv) is utilized for staining lymphatic vessels in sentinel lymph node (sln) surgery. moreover, pbv (also called e131 ) is used as food additive. we report on a 51-year-old non-atopic female with early breast cancer, who was scheduled for sln excision and experienced an intra-operative anaphylactic reaction. in diagnostics the skin prick test (spt) was positive ...

A new method is described for vital staining of nervous tissue with methylene blue; it involves impregnation of whole embryos or tissue-fragments with the rongalitreduced dye under anaerobic conditions at pH 5, followed by development of the stain in an oxygenated neutral saline solution. Determinations of the solubility of leucomethylene blue and experiments on vital staining with it and with ...
