in the industrial area of elefsis, greece, aerosol samples from the atmosphere were collected using a stacked filter unit sampler, which separates the airborne particulate matter into coarse (pm2.5-10) and fine (pm2.5) size fractions. the samples collected during the period january 2005 to march 2006, were analyzed by anodic stripping voltammetry (asv) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emis...

This study deals with the structural perturbations that the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin (GENT) can produce to phospholipid bilayers. Two multi-bilayer systems, one built-up of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and the other of dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) were allowed to interact with GENT. The experiments were performed in both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic medium ...

Gentiopicroside (Gent) is promising as an important protective secoiridoid compound against pain. The present study was designed to investigate whether administration of Gent would alleviate the expression of nociceptive behaviors and whether it would cause the relevant electrophysiological changes in a chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of neuropathic pain in mice. Gent was administered f...
