The behaviour of the people of NE Thailand towards medicines for self-treatment. (1997)
Thesis
CHADBUNCHACHAI, S. 1997. The behaviour of the people of NE Thailand towards medicines for self-treatment. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Musculoskeletal pain is one of the most common illnesses among the people of north-eastern Thailand and is commonly treated by self-medication. Ya-chud (several medicines together in a small plastic bag) for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain is a...

Cytochrome P450 in human brain tumours. (1997)
Presentation / Conference
MCFADYEN, M.C.E., MELVIN, W.T. and MURRAY, G.I. 1997. Cytochrome P450 in human brain tumours. Presented at the 1997 Joint winter meeting of the British Association for Cancer Research, the Association of Cancer Physicians and the Royal Society of Medicine (Oncology Section), 27-28 November 1997, London, UK.

This presentation reports on a study investigating the presence and cellular localization of individual families of cytochrome P450 enzymes, in both normal brain and primary brain tumours. The immunoreactivity of individual P450s was identified using... Read More about Cytochrome P450 in human brain tumours..

Preparation of novel modified-release dosage forms of diclofenac sodium and ibuprofen. (1997)
Thesis
SUJJA-AREEVATH, J. 1997. Preparation of novel modified-release dosage forms of diclofenac sodium and ibuprofen. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Mini-matrix multiple unit dosage forms (MUDFs) of diclofenac sodium and S(+) ibuprofen have been prepared. Normal tabletting techniques were used to form the mini-matrices prior to their enclosure in hard gelatin capsules. Four natural hydrophilic gu...

Studies on the stability and activity of polymyxin B solutions. (1997)
Thesis
SAOHIN, W. 1997. Studies on the stability and activity of polymyxin B solutions. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The correlation between the chemical stability and the microbiological activity of polymyxin B in phosphate buffer pH 6.0 and in proprietary eye drops was evaluated. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used to quantify the amount of the... Read More about Studies on the stability and activity of polymyxin B solutions..

Cytochrome P450 in normal human brain and brain tumours. (1997)
Presentation / Conference
MCFADYEN, M.C.E., MELVIN, W.T. and MURRAY, G.I. 1997. Cytochrome P450 in normal human brain and brain tumours. Presented at the July 1997 Biochemical Society meeting, 29-31 July 1997, Dundee, UK.

Cytochromes P450 are a multi-gene family of constitutive and inducible haem-containing enzymes, with a critical role in the oxidative metabolism of a wide range of environmental chemicals - including carcinogens, toxins and therapeutic drugs. P450s m... Read More about Cytochrome P450 in normal human brain and brain tumours..

Isotopic studies of selenium in environmental samples. (1997)
Thesis
MACLEOD, F. 1997. Isotopic studies of selenium in environmental samples. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Selenium has aroused much interest in the last decade. It is an essential trace element for man and animals and has been found to be the cofactor in two enzyme systems. The first, glutathionine peroxidase, acts as an anti-oxidant by destroying peroxi... Read More about Isotopic studies of selenium in environmental samples..

Destruction of cyanobacterial toxins by semiconductor photocatalysis. (1997)
Journal Article
ROBERTSON, P.K.J., LAWTON, L.A., MÜNCH, B. and ROUZADE, J. 1997. Destruction of cyanobacterial toxins by semiconductor photocatalysis. Chemical communications [online], 4, pages 393-394. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1039/A607965B

The rapid destruction of microcystin, a cyanobacterial toxin, using a titanium dioxide photocatalyst is observed; the process is extremely efficient with high concentrations of toxin completely undetectable within 10-40 min, depending on the initial...
