Liver monoamine oxidase (MAO) in liver homogenate of mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni and effect of certain therapeutic agents. Abdel Samad, M. M.; Guirgis, F. K.; Zeitoun, R.; El-Feki, R. F.; Awadalla, H. N. (Alexandria Univ., Alexandria, Egypt). Tropenmed. Parasitol., 28(4), 554-9 (English) 1977. CODEN: TMPRAD. ISSN: 0303-4208. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 1 (Pharmacodynamics) Section cross-reference(s): 14 MAO [9001-66-5] activity in liver homogenates of mice infected with S. mansoni decreased starting the sixth wk following infection, reaching a min. by the eighth wk. These changes obviously denote progress of hepatic fibrosis. Treatment of the infected mice with tartar emetic [28300-74-5], stibophen [15489-16-4], niridazole [61-57-4] and hycanthone [3105-97-3] returned the enzyme level to almost normal value. This may indicate the ease with which the lesions in the liver, inclucing fibrosis, recover when the infection is successfully treated.

Dyeing of leather substitutes containing an elastomer

Dyeing of leather substitutes containing an elastomer. (Toray Industries, Inc., Japan). Jpn. Kokai Tokkyo Koho JP 59199878 A2 13 Nov 1984 Showa, 4 pp. (Japanese). (Japan). CODEN: JKXXAF. CLASS: IC: D06P005-00. APPLICATION: JP 83-68300 20 Apr 1983. DOCUMENT TYPE: Patent CA Section: 38 (Plastics Fabrication and Uses) Leather substitutes composed of polyamide fibers and an elastomer are dyed, then treated with mixts. contg. natural or semisynthetic tannic acid and tartar emetic (I) [28300-74-5] and finally treated with a surfactant to improve their colorfastness. Thus, a leather substitute prepd. from nylon fibers and a polyurethane, was dyed with a soln. of (NH4)2SO4, C.I. Acid Brown 226, and C.I. Acid Red 318. The dyed material was treated with a liquor contg. vegetable tannic acid, I, citric acid, and AcOH, washed, treated with aq. soln. of Bisnol A 30 [95078-07-2] (nonionic surfactant) washed, and dried to give a dark colored leather substitute having excellent fastness to washing.
