Monorhinal and Birhinal Olfaction Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Odor threshold testing was performed using the BTT. A series of 10 concentrations of N-butanol (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) was generated by serially diluting 4% N-butanol with mineral oil (Sigma-Aldrich). The test was performed in each nostril separately, to evaluate monorhinal olfaction, and in both nostrils simultaneously, to evaluate birhinal olfaction. The study subjects were presented with two polyethylene bottles, one with mineral oil and the other with butanol, and they were asked to choose the bottle with butanol. The test was repeated until the butanol bottle was correctively identified by the examinees in five consecutive trials. The examination was started at a concentration level of 10. The lowest concentration at which the butanol bottle was correctly identified 5 times consecutively was designated as the threshold level.
Eleven patients in group 1 underwent septoplasty. With these patients, BTT tests were conducted 6 months after surgery in 5 individuals who did not have a disease potentially affecting olfaction, such as acute/chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, or a tumor.

Fractionation and Characterization of Botanical Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To obtain the ethyl acetate, n-butanol and aqueous fractions, BCP and BB samples (≈500 mg each) were dispersed in water (10 mL × 3), vortexed for approx. 1 min and then incubated overnight at room temperature. After centrifugation for 10 min at 4000× g, the supernatant aqueous fraction was collected and filtered, and the samples were further subjected to liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate (10 mL × 3) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and n-butanol (10 mL × 3) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), successively, to extract the non-polar constituents (lipids; ethyl acetate fraction; 1-BB-Et, 4-BB-Et, 6P-BCP-Et), the medium-polar components (polyphenols, sugars; n-butanol fraction; 1-BB-Bu, 4-BB-Bu, 6P-BCP-Bu), respectively, and the remaining aqueous fractions with polar constituents (sugars and proteins; aqueous fraction; 4-BB-H, 6P-BCP-H). All obtained fractions were concentrated to dryness under vacuum (20 °C) and placed in activated desiccators with P2O5 until their weights were stabilized. Samples were analyzed by GC-MS (fractions 1-BB-Et, 4-BB-Et, 6P-BCP-Et), LC-MS (fractions 1-BB-Bu, 4-BB-Bu and 6P-BCP-Bu) and NMR (fractions 1-BB, 4-BB, 6P-BCP, 1-BB-Et, 4-BB-Et, 6P-BCP-Et, 1-BB-Bu, 4-BB-Bu and 6P-BCP-Bu).

Extraction and Fractionation of Terminalia catappa Linn. Leaves

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Terminalia catappa Linn. leaves were cultivated in an experimental field of the Federal University of Maranhão, São Luiz, Maranhão, Brazil. The sample was collected from September 2018 to November 2018. The exsiccatae were prepared and sent to the “Herbário Ático Seabra” of the Federal University of Maranhão for botanical identification. The leaves were dried separately in an oven with air circulation at 37°C for 48 hours, followed by being ground by means of a mill. The dry, ground material (approximately 200 g) was macerated with approximately 800 mL of 70% ethanol at ambient temperature for 24 hours. This process was repeated four times, and the extract obtained was filtered and then concentrated using a rota-evaporator. The dry residue was suspended in MeOH/H2O (80:20, v/v), and the samples were sequentially submitted to liquid-liquid fractioning with hexane (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), followed by ethyl acetate (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and n-butanol (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), resulting in three fractions: hexane (FHexTC), ethyl acetate (FAcOEtTC), and n-butanol (FBuTC) fractions. The FBuTC was concentrated using the rota-evaporator and stored in an amber flask until the experiments were performed.

Lipids were removed from fetal bovine serum (Sigma) by stirring with 0.8 vol di-isopropyl ether (Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.2 vol n-butanol (Sigma) for 30 minutes at room temperature, followed by centrifugation at 4,000 × g for 15 minutes at 4°C to achieve phase separation. Serum proteins retained in the lower, aqueous phase were carefully collected, leaving behind lipids in the upper phase and interphase. Solvent contaminants were removed by stirring the serum for 2 hours while allowing a slow stream of nitrogen gas to blow over the surface of the serum. Any remaining solvent contaminants were further removed by dialysis for 72 hours using dialysis cassettes (Thermo Scientific).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
