Abstract

Fertiloscopy is a useful first level alternative procedure in order to diagnose infertility. It is a new diagnostic technique, which combines culdoscopy, dye-test, salpingoscopy and hysteroscopy and uses a specific disposable kit (Fertiloscopy Soprane). Fertiloscopy has the advantage of limiting pelviscopy only when strictly indicated, while maintaining a high diagnostic quality. Furthermore, it is more cost-effective by reducing the use of the operating theatre, the number of doctors and nurses involved and also by decreasing surgical risks and therefore leading to a better compliance by the patients.

Symmetric and asymmetric squarylium dyes as noncovalent protein labels: a study by fluorimetry and capillary electrophoresis.

Noncovalent interactions between two squarylium dyes and various model proteins have been explored. NN127 and SQ-3 are symmetric and asymmetric squarylium dyes, respectively, the fluorescence emissions of which have been shown to be enhanced upon complexation with proteins such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA), beta-lactoglobulin A, and trypsinogen. Although these dyes are poorly soluble in aqueous solution, they can be dissolved first in methanol followed by dilution with aqueous buffer without precipitation, and are then suitable for use as fluorescent labels in protein determination studies. The nature of interactions between these dyes and proteins was studied using a variety of buffer systems, and it was found that electrostatic interactions are involved but not dominant. Dye/protein stoichiometries in the noncovalent complexes were found to be 1:1 for SQ-3, although various possible stoichiometries were found for NN127 depending upon pH and protein. Association constants on the order of 10(5) and 10(7) were found for noncovalent complexes of SQ-3 and NN127, respectively, with HSA, indicating stronger interactions of the symmetric dye with proteins. Finally, HSA complexes with NN127 were determined by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF). In particular, NN127 shows promise as a reagent capable of fluorescently labeling analyte proteins for analysis by CE-LIF without itself being significantly fluorescent under the aqueous solution conditions studied herein.

Photoelectrochemical solar cell using extract of Eugenia jambolana Lam as a natural sensitizer.

The extract of Jambol o (java plum), Eugenia jambolana Lam, was used as a natural sensitizer of a wide band-gap semiconductor (TiO2) in photoelectrochemical solar cells. The natural dye, adsorbed onto the semiconductor surface, absorbs visible light and promotes electron transfer across the dye/semiconductor interface. Photogenerated current and voltage as high as 2.3 mA and 711 mV, respectively, were obtained and effective conversion of visible light into electricity was achieved. The use of a natural product as the semiconductor sensitizer enables a faster and simpler production of cheaper and environmentally friendly solar cells.

Synthesis and luminescence studies of aryl substituted tetraamide complexes of europium(III): a new approach to pH responsive luminescent europium probes.

DOTA-tetraamide ligands having extended phenol or pyridine substituents have been synthesized. The (5)D(0) --> (7)F(J) deltaJ = 1 and 2 emission bands in the corresponding europium(III) complexes differ in their sensitivity to solution pH. This offers the potential for developing pH responsive probes for in vivo imaging that are independent of probe concentration.
