Changes in ocular signs and symptoms in patients switching from bimatoprost-timolol to tafluprost-timolol eye drops: an open-label phase IV study.
2019
ObjectivesBimatoprost–timolol (bimatoprost 0.03%–timolol 0.5% fixed-dose combination [FDC]) and tafluprost–timolol (tafluprost 0.0015%–timolol 0.5% FDC) eye drops are currently the only topical intraocular pressure (IOP)-reducing therapies available as preservative-free (PF) prostaglandin and timolol FDC. The aim of this study was to investigate changes to ocular signs and symptoms when patients with ocular hypertension (OH) or open-angle glaucoma (OAG) switched from PF or benzalkonium chloride (BAK)-preserved bimatoprost–timolol to PF tafluprost–timolol eye drops.DesignThis was a 12-week, open-label, phase IV study.SettingSixteen centres in Finland, Germany, Italy and the UK.ParticipantsPa…
Combining poly(dimethyldiphenylsiloxane) and nitrile phases for improving the separation and quantitation of benzalkonium chloride homologues: In-tub…
2013
The retention and separation of four homologues of benzalkonium chloride (alkyl (C12, C14, C16, C18) dimethylbenzylammonium chloride) have been studied in poly(dimethyldiphenylsiloxane) (TRB) and nitrile capillary phases, respectively. Under the optimized conditions (50% acetonitrile in processed samples, 35% of diphenyl content of the TRB, capillary length 43 cm and water:methanol 60:40 as replacing solvent), the extraction efficiency was similar for all the homologues with satisfactory reproducibility and independently of the amount and proportion of homologues. Industrial samples with high viscosity or with complex composition and washes waters have been analyzed without previous treatme…
Dažāda veida mākslīgo asaru ietekme uz sausās acs radītajām pazīmēm un simptomiem
2021
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 5 5 lappaspusēm. Tas satur 13 attēlus, 19 tabulas un 30 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir novērtēt dažādu mākslīgo asaru ietekmi uz sausu acu simptomiem un pazīmēm. Sauso acu slimība (DED) ir hroniska, daudzfaktoru acu virsmas slimība, kas noved pie diskomforta, redzes traucējumiem un asaru plēvītes nestabilitātes, ar iespējamu acu virsmas bojājumu. Vecums un dzimums tiek mi nēts par svarīgākajiem faktoriem, kas izraisa sauso acu slimību, turpretī citi riski bieži netiek ņemti vērā. Lai nozīmētu DED ārstēšanu, jāveic dažādi diagnostikas testi. Mūsdienās ir pieejamas atšķirīgas ārstēšanas metodes, bet mākslīgās asaras ir visbi…
Determination of cationic surfactants by capillary zone electrophoresis and micellar electrokinetic chromatography with deoxycholate micelles in the …
2000
Mixtures of the cationic surfactants benzalkonium chloride (BKC) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were quickly resolved and reproducibly and reliably determined by using background electrolytes (BGEs) containing 80 mM borate, pH 8.5, bile salts and large concentrations of an organic solvent. When the bile salt is present, the separation mechanism changes from capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) to a mixed micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)-CZE, with predominant MEKC interactions, which lead to an excellent resolution of all the solutes, including the C12-C18 homologues of BKC and CPC. A BGE containing 50 mM sodium deoxycholate and 30% ethanol for an extreme resolution, or 20% …
Evaluation of the enhanced resistance of Ogataea (Hansenula) polymorpha to benzalkonium chloride as a resource for bioremediation technologies
2019
Abstract Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is highly abundant in wastewaters due to its wide application in household and industrial products. The aim of this research was to compare the resistance of two genetically related strains, Ogataea polymorpha (wild type) and O. polymorpha cat8Δ (recombinant strain), to enhanced concentrations of BAC (≥ 100 mg/L) in terms of its appearance in wastewaters. Inhibition of the respiration activity of wt and cat8Δ by 100 mg/L and 300 mg/L BAC in a xylose-containing broth (4 g/L xylose) was dependent on the carbon source used for obtaining the yeast biomass through ethanol fermentation. The respiration activity of wt in a liquid broth was inhibited by BAC, whi…
