Synthetic dyes are using extensively in various industries such as textile, leather tanning, plastic, pulp and paper. Since this dyes are mainly toxic and even carcinogenic, discharging dye containing wastewater into the environment generates serious environmental and health consequences. Therefore, in this research investigated and evaluated the removal effect of Reactive Red 120 (RR 120) from...

toxicity, cancinogenic activity, and mutagenicity. The purpose of this study was evaluation of the removal of Reactive Red 120 (RR-120) dye from aqueous solution by date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) seed particles. Batch adsorption studies carried out to study various parameters included contact time, initial concentration of Reactive Red 120, pH, and adsorbent dosage. The concentration of dye wa...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Aberrant activation of the TGF-β1/Smad pathway contributes to the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). MicroRNA-195 has been shown to regulate the activation of HSCs. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miRNA-195 in HSCs activation. METHODS A liver fibrotic rat model induced by diethylnitrosamine was established. Dual luciferase reporter assays were...

The effects of five UICC asbestos samples, titanium dioxide, and quartz on the bovine red cell membrane have been studied in erythrocyte ghosts by the spin labelling technique. Analysis of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of two sulphydryl reactive spin labels and one fatty acid spin label in red cell ghosts showed modifications in membrane protein after asbestos treatment but ...

Human platelets were tested for the presence of proteins immunologically cross-reactive with red cell spectrin and protein 4.1 . As assessed by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. platelets were specifically reactive with affinity-purified rabbit antisera against red cell spectrin and protein 4.1 . The immunoreactive platelet constituents were further analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly...
