Occlusive clothing and ultraviolet radiation in hip surgery.

Acta Orthop Scand

University of Lund Department of Orthopedics, Malmö General Hospital, Sweden.

Published: December 1989

In a randomized study of 20 total hip arthroplasties, the staff wore shirts and trousers of a fabric impervious to bacteria underneath operating gowns of a non-woven material. Volumetric air sampling demonstrated a low number of colony-forming units with this clothing, further reduced by ultraviolet radiation to below 10 colony-forming units/m3, the upper limit of "ultraclean air," in all the cases (median 2.6, range 1.1-7.1).

Department of Rehabilitation and Health Services, University of North Texas, Denton, TX, USA.

Occupational exposures comprise of a broad range of factors in constant and direct contact with the ocular surface. Cataract, a leading cause of visual impairment globally, has been associated with various occupational exposures. This review critically examines existing literature on the relationship between occupational exposures and cataract development.

Introduction: Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy (UVF dermoscopy) is a novel diagnostic technique for identifying and diagnosing numerous skin tumors, inflammatory dermatoses, and infectious diseases. The ultraviolet (UV) band has a wavelength ranging from 10 to 400 nm. When intense UV radiation with shorter wavelengths strikes a target chromophore, visible light (VL) with a longer wavelength and lower energy is produced in the skin.

Mechanically regulated microcarriers with stem cell loading for skin photoaging therapy.

Bioact Mater

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325035, China.

Long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation compromises skin structural integrity and results in disruption of normal physiological functions. Stem cells have gained attention in anti-photoaging, while controlling the tissue mechanical microenvironment of cell delivery sites is crucial for regulating cell fate and achieving optimal therapeutic performances. Here, we introduce a mechanically regulated human recombinant collagen (RHC) microcarrier generated through microfluidics, which is capable of modulating stem cell differentiation to treat photoaged skin.

Storage stability evaluation of chicken seasoning by accelerating oil oxidation under different storage conditions.

Food Res Int

February 2025

College of Food Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China; Wilmar (Shanghai) Biotechnology Research and Development Center Co., Ltd., Pudong New District, Shanghai 200137, China. Electronic address:

The effects of temperature, humidity, and UV irradiation on the accelerated oil oxidation of chicken seasoning (CS) were investigated, aiming to establish a method for evaluating its storage stability. Key oxidation indicators, such as peroxide value (POV), fatty acid profile, and volatile aldehydes, were measured to assess the degree of oil oxidation. The results indicated that oil oxidation of CS is not significantly accelerated by temperatures of 50-80 °C due to the inhibitory effects of the Maillard reaction.
