Activated carbon textile (C-Text) was chemically modified to incorporate oxygen- (C-Text-O), nitrogen- (C-Text-ON), and/or sulfur- (C-Text-OS) containing surface functional groups, aiming to enhance their reactive adsorption capacity. The modified textiles were evaluated for their ability to detoxify 2-choloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) in both vapor and liquid phases, under dry and humid conditions. The maximum amount of water adsorbed was directly affected by the surface area (R = 0.

Purpose: Sulfur mustard gas (SM) exposure to eyes causes multiple corneal injuries including stromal cell loss in vivo. However, mechanisms mediating stromal cell loss/death remains elusive. This study sought to test the novel hypothesis that SM-induced toxicity to human corneal stromal fibroblasts involves ferroptosis mechanism via p38 MAPK signaling.

Nitrogen mustard (NM) is a vesicant agent with potent toxic effects on various tissues. Numerous theories have been proposed to explain its toxic mechanisms, yet research on the interconnections among these theories is lacking. This study focuses on analyzing the characteristics of genes involved in NM-induced bronchial injury within the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD).

The present investigation deals with comparisons drawn among three types of different mustard seed coat colors, namely, Black (), Brown (), and White (), with respect to protein's bio-availability through pepsin digestibility, with and without the involvement of major anti-nutritional factors (glucosinolate type AITC, Allylisothiothiocyanate) and relative food functions. These are validated by means of crude protein determination, precipitated protein isolate preparation for evaluating the fat absorption capacity (FAC), emulsifying activity (EA), emulsion stability (ES), whippability, foam stability (FS), the nitrogen solubility index (NSI), and the protein dispersibility index (PDI). The results indicate that the partial removal of glucosinolates from brown mustard (0.

Adduction on protein nucleophile sites by mustard agents can be monitored to assess detection of retrospective exposure to these agents. Cysteine 34 (Cys34) on human serum albumin was selected as the target of choice. This work targets di- and tripeptides adducted on Cys34 by sulfur mustard, sesquimustard, and nitrogen mustards separated in hydrophilic liquid chromatography (HILIC) and Reversed-Phase (RP) mode.
