As an anti-inflammatory, dapsone inhibits the myeloperoxidase-H 2 O 2-halide-mediated cytotoxic system in polymorphonucleocytes. [50] As part of the respiratory burst that neutrophils use to kill bacteria, myeloperoxidase converts hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) into hypochlorous acid (HOCl). HOCl is the most potent oxidant generated by neutrophils ...
A dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor (DHFR inhibitor) is a molecule that inhibits the function of dihydrofolate reductase, and is a type of antifolate.. Since folate is needed by rapidly dividing cells to make thymine, this effect may be used to therapeutic advantage.
The hectograph, gelatin duplicator or jellygraph is a printing process that involves transfer of an original, prepared with special inks, to a pan of gelatin or a gelatin pad pulled tight on a metal frame.
A hydrocolloid dressing is biodegradable, [2] breathable, and depending on the dressing selected, may adhere to the skin, so no separate taping is needed. [ 3 ] The active surface of the dressing is coated with a cross-linked adhesive mass containing a dispersion of gelatin, pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose together with other polymers and ...
1,2-Dihydro-1,2-azaborine is an aromatic chemical compound with properties intermediate between benzene and borazine. Its chemical formula is C 4 BNH 6 . It resembles a benzene ring, except that two adjacent carbons are replaced by nitrogen and boron, respectively.
Hydrogel dressing is a medical dressing based on hydrogels, three-dimensional hydrophilic structure. [1] The insoluble hydrophilic structures absorb polar wound exudates and allow oxygen diffusion at the wound bed to accelerate healing. [2]
1,1-Dichloroethylene, commonly called vinylidene chloride or 1,1-DCE, is an organochloride with the molecular formula CCl 2 CH 2.It is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. Like most chlorocarbons, it is poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 1,1-DCE was the precursor to the original clingwrap, Saran, for food, but this application has been phased
1,6-Hexanediol diglycidyl ether is an organic chemical in the glycidyl ether family. It is an aliphatic compound that is a colorless liquid. It has two epoxide (oxirane) groups per molecule. Its main use is in modifying epoxy resins especially viscosity reduction whilst flexibilizing. [2] It is REACH registered. [3]
