Disease relevance of potassium hydroxide

 

High impact information on potassium hydroxide

  • CM are extracted from the myocardium and blood by digestion with potassium hydroxide and subsequent microfiltration [6].
  • Elastin peptides prepared by alcoholic potassium hydroxide degradation of highly purified fibrous elastin from bovine ligamentum nuchae (kappa-elastin) were shown to act on the ion channels of human monocytes, aorta smooth muscle cells, and skin fibroblasts [7].
  • In patients with blastomycotic arthritis, cytologic examination of synovial fluid can add to the diagnostic yield of synovial fluid fungal cultures and potassium hydroxide preparations [8].
  • The distribution of STn and Tn in normal and malignant epithelium has been studied in detail by a combination of mucin-, lectin-, and immunohistochemistry with and without pretreatment with potassium hydroxide (KOH), neuraminidase, and KOH-neuraminidase [9].
  • RAST analyses of sera from 24 allergic bakers demonstrated that the albumin fraction of flour is clearly allergenic (as found in previous studies), but in addition, major IgE-binding proteins were found in the other three fractions (globulin, gliadin, and glutenin) when potassium hydroxide was the solvent (but not with water) [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of potassium hydroxide

  • Twenty cases of resected specimens of carcinoma and/or dysplasia complicating ulcerative colitis were histochemically investigated by the periodic acid-thionein Schiff/potassium hydroxide/periodic acid-Schiff (PAT/KOH/PAS) staining method to see mucin characteristics of carcinoma, dysplasia, and the background mucosa of these lesions [11].
  • Application of 1% potassium hydroxide (KOH) reduced subsequent development of anthralin inflammation without loss of its therapeutic effect on psoriasis [12].
  • Sulconazole nitrate 1% cream applied twice daily was compared with its vehicle in the treatment of 229 patients with chronic moccasin-type tinea pedis confirmed by positive results of a potassium hydroxide preparation [13].
  • Solutions of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide with concentrations between 0.5% and 4% were found to produce mucoid and sticky suspensions when added in drops, using a bacteriological loop, to smears of 609 strains of gram-negative bacteria on glass slides [14].
  • Among all children showing symptoms suggestive of scalp ringworm, hair stumps and scales were collected and exposed to direct microscopic examination using 30% potassium hydroxide solution, and cultivation on Sabouraud's dextrose agar with or without actidione [15].
