We used a special-purpose glass microfiber sample, Johns-Manville Code 100/475, to study the effects of various acid and alkali treatments on biological activity as assessed by inflammation in the mouse peritoneal cavity, the leaching of Si, and the phase contrast optical microscopy (PCOM) fiber

The electrochemical degradation of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen in tap water has been studied using electro-Fenton (EF) and anodic oxidation (AO) processes with platinium (Pt) and boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes and carbon felt cathode. Fast degradation of the parent drug

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of β-glucan on the expression of inflammatory mediators and metabolomic profile of oral cells [keratinocytes (OBA-9) and fibroblasts (HGF-1) in a dual-chamber model] infected by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The periodontopathogen was

Bioactive peptides that target the gastrointestinal tract can strongly affect the health of animals and humans. This study aimed to evaluate the abilities of two peptides derived from egg albumin transferrin, IRW and IQW, to treat enteritis in a mouse model of Citrobacter rodentium-induced

We studied the role of oxalate release through the airways as a potential injurious factor in the development of inflammation, bronchial obstruction and cough syndrome (respiratory oxalosis). Detection of oxalates in bronhcoalveolar lavage fluid and daily urine is the most valuable method for

This work was aimed at estimating the role of special therapy of patients with bronchial asthma, COPD and hyperoxaluria designed to restrict the delivery or eliminate excess of oxalates and producing well apparent beneficial effect confirmed by the disappearance or decrease of clinical and

The electrochemical abatement of the drug ibuprofen (2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid) from aqueous solution has been carried out by anodic oxidation. The electrolyses have been performed at constant current using a small, undivided cell equipped with a Pt or thin-film boron-doped diamond (BDD)

Metabolic products of Aspergillus species may play a significant role in the pulmonary destructive process. We describe a patient who died of respiratory failure, in whom postmortem examination revealed aspergilloma and numerous calcium oxalate crystals around the aspergilloma, as well as extensive

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are a class of emerging contaminants widely distributed in the wastewater treatment system. The simultaneous analysis of multiple PPCPs in the sludge, which is a complex matrix, is still not fully studied. In this study, a procedure based on matrix

Plain catgut sutures were coated with different polyester-based polyurethanes. The sutures were implanted subcutaneously in rats and tested for tensile strength loss and tissue reactions. A polyurethane coating based on an oxalic acid polyester was hydrolysed too fast to protect the catgut against

Biological data acquired in recent years has thrown new light on the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. The key element in the genesis of fibrosis may be the alveolar macrophage which, under the influence of different stimuli, secretes numerous factors, attracting polymorphonuclear leukocytes and

Lithiasis continues to be an important factor in chronic renal disease, since it leads to chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis, which is estimated to be involved in 15- 30% of cases of end stage chronic renal insufficiency. It is believed that in order for a stone to be formed, a solid phase needs

Polyoxalate and copolyoxalate were developed in the 1970s and have been used for biomedical applications such as suture coating purposes, owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. They are known to degrade into diols and oxalic acid, which are considered biocompatible. One of the

In up to one-third of patients with calcium oxalate stones, a hyperoxaluria can be detected. Hyperoxaluria can result from increased endogenous production, from excessive oxalate content of the food, or from intestinal hyperabsorption. For a causal therapy, it is important to discriminate between

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is prevalent and is associated with high morbidity and mortality globally. The epidemiology differs remarkably between developing and developed economies. Infections, diarrheal illnesses, obstetric causes and nephrotoxins are very rampant in the tropics. Even though the
