Abstract:
The most commonly studied method of administering ozone therapy is systemic ozone therapy. However, there may be situations where this method is not feasible due to technical issues, such as poor vein condition or anemia. As an alternative method, pre-ozonized solutions, such as 0.9% saline solution, have been investigated for their ease of preparation and administration. However, concerns have been raised regarding the formation of chlorine compounds. Currently, there is no available literature on the treatment potential of pre-ozonized glucose solution. The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate the chemical changes induced by ozonization of a 5% glucose solution and determine if any toxic compounds are produced. Our findings indicate that the chemical alterations following ozone infusion are quantitatively minimal and pose a negligible risk in terms of safety.

Oxidations of Aldehydes and Ketones to Carboxylic Acids
Aldehydes readily undergo oxidation in strong oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate and chromic acid. The oxidation can also be carried out using mild oxidizing agents such as silver oxide. In fact, aldehydes can be easily oxidized...
