Strongyloidiasis is a persistent human parasitic infection caused by the intestinal nematode, Strongyloides stercoralis. The parasite has a world-wide distribution, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions with poor sanitary conditions. Since individuals with strongyloidiasis are typically asymptomatic, the infection can
Benzidine oxidative activation may proceed by peroxidase-catalyzed one-electron oxidation via free radical intermediates, or by N-acetylation followed by monooxygenase-catalyzed N-hydroxylation. The peroxidase route has been examined by using horseradish peroxidase or prostaglandin H synthase in vitro. In the presence of

Workers exposed to high levels of benzidine have a 100-fold increased incidence of bladder cancer. This review evaluates the overall metabolism of benzidine to determine pathways important to initiation of bladder cancer. Upon incubation of benzidine with liver slices from
The aromatic amine benzidine (BZ) has produced various tumors, including liver tumors, in mice, rats and hamsters. BZ forms DNA adducts in rodent liver, and it is positive in most genotoxicity tests. Only bladder tumors are produced in dogs and
We have fabricated an organic deep ultraviolet photodetector (PD) using PEDOT:PSS (PH 1000) as a transparent anode. NPB and PBD were employed as electron donor and acceptor, respectively. The PD exhibits a dark current of 0.0829 μA/cm(2) and a photocurrent
