The roles of capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves and the central nervous system in the inhibitory effect of momordin Ic, a principal saponin constituent in various Chinese and Japanese herbal medicines, such as the fruit of Kochia scoparia (L.) SCHRAD., on gastric emptying were investigated in nonnutrient meal- or nutrient meal-loaded mice. Momordin Ic (12.5-50 mg/kg) significantly inhibited gas...

Carboxymethyl cellulose, a water-soluble cellulose derivative, has been used extensively as a biomaterial for wound healing and pharmacological applications. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer but its poor stability, limits its long-term application. In this study, carboxymethyl cellulose scaffolds were prepared at different concentrations (2.5 wt% and 5.0 wt%) by freeze drying met...

fruit yoghurt is frequently made with fermented milk products; however, the use of fruit and its products may cause changes in the viscoelastic properties, syneresis and sensory properties of fruit yoghurt. one approach to improve these properties in fruit yoghurt is the use of thickening agents. this study investigated the effect of carboxymethyl cellulose and guar thickening agents on the pro...

The objective was to describe and recommend the most effective combination of Natural-Based Product (NBP) mucoadhesive for Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) treatment. This systematic review writing based on PRISMA guidelines. articles published in last 10 y were selected using PubMed Google Scholar database carried out during May 2021. keywords were: natural-based product, mucoadhesive, Stom...

The cenC gene, encoding beta-1,4-glucanase C (CenC) from Cellulomonas fimi, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli with a tac-based expression vector. The resulting polypeptide, with an apparent molecular mass of 130 kDa, was purified from the cell extracts by affinity chromatography on cellulose followed by anion-exchange chromatography. N-terminal sequence analysis showed the enzyme to be prop...

Water-soluble binders are demonstrated to provide significantly better capacity, cycle life stability and rate response for NASICON-type NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 Na-ion battery anodes during reversible sodiation compared electrodes made using polyvinylidene difluoride-containing slurries. The role of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on the physical structure chemical interfacial reactions with sodium-poor...

The bottleneck in the implementation of hybrid lithium-sodium-ion batteries is lack anode materials with a desired rate capability. Herein, we provide an in-depth examination Li-storage performance sodium titanate nanowires as negative electrodes Li,Na-ion batteries. Titanate were prepared by simple and reproducible hydrothermal method. At low reaction pressure, well-isolated are formed, while ...

Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a widely used technique for the self-assembly of layered nanocomposites from clay sheets, carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, nanoparticles, and other materials. Other approaches fabricating include vacuum-assisted filtration blade coating. They are simpler than LbL assembly, but they all introduce voids into structure, thereby reducing performance resulting nanoc...
