Prevention of Elevation in Plasma Triacylglycerol with High-Dose Bezafibrate Treatment Abolishes Insulin Resistance and Attenuates Glucose Intolerance Induced by Short-Term Treatment with Dexamethasone in Rats
(2018-01-01)
Objective. Fibrates are used as lipid-lowering drugs and are well tolerated as cotreatments when glucose metabolism disturbances are also present. Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are diabetogenic drugs that cause dyslipidemia, ...
Polymer treatment by plasma immersion ion implantation of nitrogen for formation of diamond-like carbon film
(2004-09-01)
Nitrogen ions were implanted by plasma immersion in Kapton, Mylar and polypropylene, with the objective of forming a diamond-like carbon layer on these polymers. The Raman spectrum of the implanted polypropylene showed ...
An Air-Based Coaxial Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Source for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Eradication
(Begell House, 2017-10)
Biofilms cause biofouling, pipe plugging, prostheses colonization, disease, and nosocomial infections. Bacterial biofilms are more resilient to sterilization methods than planktonic bacteria; therefore, better control ...
Effect of cold atmospheric plasma jet associated to polyene antifungals on candida albicans biofilms
(2021-10-01)
The increasing incidence of antifungal resistance represents a great challenge in the medical area and, for this reason, new therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of fungal infections are urgently required. Cold ...
In vitro study on how cold plasma affects dentin surface characteristics
(2021-11-01)
Purpose: Studies evaluating different features of cold plasma action on dentin surface characteristics are lacking. Thus, this in vitro study aimed to determine the effect of cold plasma under different protocols of exposure ...
Oxygen Effects in Plasma Nitriding of Ferrous Alloys
(Wiley-v C H Verlag GmbhWeinheimAlemanha, 2007)
Influence of plasma treatment on the physical and chemical properties of sisal fibers and environmental application in adsorption of methylene blue
(2020-06-01)
The sisal fiber (agave sisalana) is a natural material that presents interesting physical and chemical properties, such as, good adsorption capacity, biodegradability and possibility to be used in composites. Improving ...
Physicochemical Studies on the Surface of Polyamide 6.6 Fabrics Functionalized by DBD Plasmas Operated at Atmospheric and Sub-Atmospheric Pressures
(Mdpi, 2020-09-01)
This work proposes the use of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor operating at atmospheric pressure (AP) using air and sub-atmospheric pressure (SAP) using air or argon to treat polyamide 6.6 (PA6.6) fabrics. Here, ...
Effect of plasma oxidation treatment on production of a SiOx/SiOxCyHz Bilayer to protect carbon steel against corrosion
(2021-01-01)
Because of its excellent properties, carbon steel is a material widely used in several sectors. However, it is easily corroded when exposed to the environment. Seeking to remedy this problem, the possibility of coating ...
