Photodecomposition, photomutagenicity and photocytotoxicity of retinyl palmitate under He-Ne laser photoirradiation and its effe

cts on photodynamic therapy of cancer cells in vitro
Biology

Semmy [17]2 years ago

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.

Summarize the similarities and differences of any two phases of mitosis
juin [17]

<span>Mitosis, simply put, is the division of the nucleus of a cell. It is the phase in the cycle of a cell in which the two chromosomes in a cell divide and separate in a nucleus of their own. These chromosomes are completely identical. As a result of mitosis, two identical cells are formed and are known as daughter cells. This process copies and transfers DNA into both the cells that are formed as a result of Mitosis.</span>

Order the steps of carbohydrate digestion:___________
Kryger [21]

Answer:

B

D

C

A

Explanation:

Digestion begins in the mouth with the process of chewing also known as mastication. Saliva in the mouth mixes with the food. saliva contains amylose. This breaks down sugar into smaller units of dextrins and maltose.

In the small intestine, the pancreas releases pancreatic juice which breaks down dextrins into smaller units.

the cells in the small intestine helps to transport the digested nutrients to the blood stream

Undigested food goes to the large intestine and eliminated in the stool

Fantom [35]
<span>Antibodies. A. k.a. immunoglobulins. They are produced by a group of white blood cells called B lymphocytes (or B cells). There are 5 classes of immunoglobulins; IgM,IgA,IgE,IgG and IgD.The classes of antibody diifferent both in their constant region and in their activity.IgG, the most common antibody, and is found mostly in the blood and tissue fluids, and IgA is localized in the mucous membranes which line the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.</span>
