Nitric oxide (NO) has been known as a gaseous chemical mediator, which modulates several physiological functions. Spatial and temporal control of NO release facilitates further study and medical application of NO. Herein, we report design and synthesis of a novel NO donor, NO-Rosa. NO-Rosa has a rosamine moiety, which absorbs yellowish green light. Upon irradiation with yellowish green light (5...

In 1937 Schiller (1) reported that the dye, light green SF, was carcinogenic for rats but not for mice. In his experiment, 7 rats (white, and spotted black and white) received, once or twice weekly, subcutaneous injections of 1 to 3 cc. of an aqueous 2 per cent, and uhlmately a 3 per cent, solution of the dye. When the animal's condition deteriorated, the injections were omitted or the volume w...

The time course of recovery from chromatic adaptation in human vision was tracked by determining the wavelength of light that appears uniquely yellow (neither red nor green) both before and after exposure to yellowish green and yellowish red adapting lights. Recovery is complete within 5 min after steady light exposure. After exposure to the alternating repeated sequence 10-sec light/10-sec dar...

The background colouration of the spadefoot toad Pelobates fuscus, an anuran species found in Europe is typically light grey/yellow grey/light olive-green. However, atypical specimen, whose was brightly coloured yellowish green (light green/lime/yellow coloured), with darker small spots distributed through dorsal parts and four main slightly shaped observed Poland (Great Poland, Mościejewo vill...

PURPOSE To evaluate systematically the staining characteristics and safety of potential new dyes for intraocular surgery. METHODS Six dyes were included in the investigation: light green SF (LGSF) yellowish, E68, bromophenol blue (BPB), Chicago blue (CB), rhodamine 6G, rhodulinblau-basic 3 (RDB-B3). All dyes were dissolved and diluted in a balanced saline saline solution. The light-absorbing ...

We evaluated the effect of six different histologic stains on the productivity of PCR amplification of DNA isolated from paraffin-embedded tissue samples. The tissue was collected from glass slides by microdissection techniques, whereby tiny portions of tissue are visually identified through a microscope and selectively resected for subsequent DNA extraction and PCR amplification. We found that...

cecuo3 nanoparticles with diameter 4.36 nm was synthesized by a fast and simplemicrowave method using cerric sulphate tetra hydrate and copper sulphate pentahydrate asstarting reagents. cecuo3 was synthesized under microwave heating for 6 min without calciningsteps. the synthesized products were characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) andscanning electron microscopy (sem) and the photoc...

The unicellular green alga Dunaliella bardawil exhibits typical responses to excessive light when starved for sulfate under normal light (60 [mu]E m-2 s-1) but not under low light (14 [mu]E m-2 s-1). Algae were analyzed during several days of sulfate starvation for nonphotochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence in the absence or presence of the uncouplers SF-6847 (SF) or carbonyl cyanid...
