Expression of concern for ‘Solar-driven photodegradation 17-β-estradiol and ciprofloxacin from waste water CO 2 conversion using sustainable coal-char/polymeric-g-C 3 N 4 /RGO metal-free nano-hybrids’ by Amit Kumar et al. , New J. Chem. 2017, 41 10208–10224, https://doi.org/10.1039/C7NJ01580A.

visit-to-visit variability (vvv) in blood pressure (bp) creates challenges to hypertension control and was independent associated with increased all-cause mortality in hypertensive patients. the major goal of the present study was to investigate the association of vvv in systolic (s)bp with progression of carotid atherosclerosis and en-dothelial dysfunction in on-treated hypertensive patients.o...

abstract background: pregnancy with anxious or depressive symptoms might be associated with worse birth outcomes. the aim of this study was to determine the demographic predictors of anxiety and depression symptoms in pregnant women. materials and methods: we assessed pregnancy anxiety and depression levels among 142 women in three trimesters. all subjects completed two questionnaires: demograp...

PURPOSE Estrogens and androgens are elevated in obesity and associated with increased postmenopausal breast cancer risk, but the effect of weight loss on these biomarkers is unknown. We evaluated the individual and combined effects of a reduced-calorie weight loss diet and exercise on serum sex hormones in overweight and obese postmenopausal women. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a single-b...

The adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol A on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. The results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of genistein, estradiol, estradiol/progesterone combination on the bone mineral density and biomechanical properties of ovariectomized rats' bone. METHODS 50 female adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups. Bilaterally ovaeriectomy were performed in all groups except the sham-operated group. Groups were a sham-oper...

The main aims of the study were: (1) to reveal age patterns female sex hormone levels (17-β-estradiol, progesterone), quantitative ultrasound parameters (broadband attenuation, speed sound) and body composition components (fat-free mass, lean muscle bone mineral content, fat mass visceral area) in women aged 7 80 years; (2) define normal ranges for IBL 17-β-estradiol progesterone kits girls und...

PURPOSE THE AIMS OF THIS STUDY WERE AS FOLLOW: 1) to de scribe the expression status of estrogen receptor-α and -β mRNAs in five gastric carcinoma cell lines; 2) to evaluate in vitro the effects of 17β-estradiol and estrogen receptor antagonists on the proliferation of the cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Detection of estrogen receptor-α and estrogen receptor-β mRNA in five human gastric can...

OBJECTIVE To assess the acute effects of blood transfusion on insulin sensitivity and pancreatic β-cell function in thalassemia patients. METHODS Fifty children and adolescents with β-thalassemia/HbE disease were enrolled in a prospective cohort study. Hemoglobin, serum ferritin and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed prior to, and one week after blood transfusion. Insulin sensi...
