Multichannel functional testing in normal subjects, glaucoma suspects, and glaucoma patients
2012
Purpose.: To evaluate visual function with a novel multichannel functional test named the ATD Multichannel Functional Test. Methods.: This multicenter study had a prospective and cross-sectional design. A total of 186 eyes were included: 42 with glaucoma, 14 glaucoma suspects due to optic nerve characteristics, 25 ocular hypertensives, and 105 normal eyes. All patients performed standard visual fields (Humphrey 24-2) and ATD with eight stimuli configurations: four achromatic (A), two red-green (T), and two blue-yellow (D). To derive main outcome measures, mean sensitivity, mean defect (MD), and pattern standard deviation (PSD) were calculated and compared among groups and types of stimuli w…
Plasma glycosphingolipids in diabetics and normals
1975
In diabetic patients with hyperlipoproteinemia type IV the monohexosyl ceramide concentration in blood plasma is significantly elevated. This augmentation can be attributed to an increased monohexosyl ceramide content of the BLDL plasma fraction. In contrast, the di-, tri-, the tetrahexosyl ceramide levels remain within normal limits. In normolipidemic diabetics of comparable age, sex, and weight classes and of comparable metabolic control no elevations of glycolipid fractions could be found. However, patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia type IV show an increase of monohexosyl ceramide concentrations in blood plasma. Therefore, the augmentation of monohexosyl ceramide levels in plasma…
Assessment of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht in pre- and postmenopausal women
2007
The main goal of this study was to determine whether and how values of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht indicators change in pre- and postmenopausal women. The tested group consisted of 10,216 women aged 25-95 years. Data were collected during the national campaign "Fighting Obesity", organized by Hand-Prod Company between 2000-2002 across Poland, when adult women voluntarily filled in a questionnaire and participated in anthropometric measurements. The BMI, WHR and W/Ht values were calculated based on these measurements. The values of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht change with age. However, in each age group postmenopausal women have higher BMI, WHR and W/Ht than premenopausal women. Thus, the results obtaine…
Toxicity test of a dental commercial composite in rats.
2011
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the 90-day subchronic toxicity of one triethylene glycol dimethacrylate containing composite (MEDENTAL Light-Cure Composite™) orally administered to rats according to OECD no. 48 guidelines and the requirements specified in the International Organization for Standardization 10993-11. Study design: The composite was administered orally to Wistar rats during 90 days and they were observed to determine changes in their behavior, eye and skin signs and other attitudes such as aggressiveness, posture, walking and response to handling. After 90 days they were sacrificed to determine blood alterations, special hematological tests were done and hist…
Naturally occurring137Cs,90Sr and226Ra radionuclides in raw milk in the Sibiu province of Romania
2012
Milk is a sensitive indicator of the levels of contamination existing in the environment following nuclear incidents, for example at Chernobyl 1986 (Ukraine) and the most recent one in 2011 in Fukushima (Japan). The levels of three radionuclides, caesium 137Cs, strontium 90Sr and radium 226Ra, were determined in cow’s milk from various locations of Sibiu county from 2010 to 2011. The results were compared with the results taken after the explosion at Chernobyl in 1986. The values were within normal limits with insignificant increases of the milk that was collected in the area of Copsa-Mica and Sibiu.
Content Variation of Iron and Copper in Wine Obtained from Wine Vineyards Recas
2013
Abstract Wine grapes are brought to the center in baskets, plastic containers, wooden bene, or more modern like metal bene. From picking and transport can be transmitted to grapes, the iron or copper from all equipment on metal and after will be transmitted also to wines produced. It must therefore control of how was made the insulation of protective metal bene to avoid contact the metal with grapes. The aim of this work involves evaluating the content of iron and copper in wines and vineyards of Recas. The results indicated that the values determined by methods Photocolorimeters were within normal limits and revealed that the level of iron and copper in samples analyzed were not influenced…
Toxicity test of a dental commercial composite
2015
BACKGROUND: International rules must be followed for testing biosecurity in dental materials. A new brand of restorative material appeared in the market and regulations indicated that it should be tested for toxicity. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the 90-day sub chronic toxicity of one triethylene glycol dimethacrylate containing composite (MEDENTAL Light-Cure Composite™) orally administered to rats according to Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development no. 48 guidelines and the requirements specified in the ISO 10993-11. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Wistar rats ate the polymerized composite during 90 days and were observed to determine changes in their behavior, …
Die herstellung molekulareinheitlicher leiteroligomerer und einer molekulareinheitlichen hexaacrylsäure. IV. Mitt.: Modelle für matrizenreaktionen
1968
Die phenolischen Hydroxylgruppen molekulareinheitlicher Mehrkernverbindungen mit vier und funf pKresolbausteinen je Molekul konnten vollstandig mit Acrylsaurechlorid in Gegenwart von Triathylamin verestert werden. Lies man auf die in siedendem Benzol stark verdunnten mehrafachen Acrylsaureester einen Uberschus an Radikalen aus α.α′-Azoisobutyrodinitril einwirken, so bildeten sich mit guter Ausbeute molekulareinheitliche, dunnschichtchromatographisch reine Leiteroligomere. Die alkalische Verseifung des Leiteroilgomeren mit vier p-Kresolbausteinen gab eine molekulareinheitliche Hexaacrylsaure, die als Hexamethylester durch Elementaranalyse und Molekulargewicht charakterisiert wurde; die gefun…
