The effects on photodynamic therapy of cancer cells in vitro is that retinyl palmitate (RP) can be used 24 h before PDT to enhance its effects. RP is not mutagenic under irradiation with He–Ne laser.

HeLa cells with or without RP (retinyl palmitate) that was incubated with the cells for a short or long incubation period prior to PDT are typically used to test the effects of PDT (photodynamic therapy) using hematoporphyrin derivatives (HpD) as photosensitizer under He-Ne laser irradiation.

No photodecomposition of RP alone is visible, but a small amount is seen of in the presence of HpD under He-Ne laser irradiation is seen. No photomutagenicity is often seen under laser irradiation. HeLa cell viability can be dramatically reduced by RP alone. A 24 hour incubation period before PDT increased the cytotoxicity of PDT on HeLa cells.

Therefore, retinyl palmitate (RP) can be used 24 h before PDT to enhance its effects. RP is not mutagenic under irradiation with He–Ne laser.

Serggg [28]

Dr. Haxton says the O-O bond is polar and the C-C bond is nonpolar. A good student would say ...

a.No, both bonds are highly polar.

b.Yes. O attracts electrons more strongly than C.

c.Right! O is electronegative, so O2 is polar.

d.Wrong again, Ralph. Both bonds are nonpolar. When two atoms of the same kind form a covalent bond, they share electrons equally because their electronegativity is the same.

e.No way. C is more electronegative than O.

Answer: d.Wrong again, Ralph. Both bonds are nonpolar. When two atoms of the same kind form a covalent bond, they share electrons equally because their electronegativity is the same.

Explanation:

Often when O and H are present in the substance at (opposite) ends (of the electronegativity scale), the polarity observed is very large, we can safely say the substance have a polar bond in it.
