silver nanowires were synthesized by solvothermal method through reducing silver nitrate (agno3) with ethylene glycol (eg) in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp). in order to prevent the agglomeration of ag+ in the initial ag seeds formation, sodium chloride (nacl) was added into the solution to form agcl colloids. by dissolving agcl in the late stages, ag+ ions were released into the so...

Nanocomposites based on poly (phenylene sulfide) (PPS) and expanded graphite (EG) or ultrasonicated EG (S-EG) were prepared by melt blending. Morphologies of the nanocomposites were examined using both SEM and TEM. Electrical conductivity and thermal stability of PPS were notably enhanced by the introduction of EG. The percolation threshold values are 1 wt% (S-EG) and 2 wt% (EG) for PPS/S-EG an...

EG-1 is significantly elevated in breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers. Overexpression of EG-1 stimulates cellular proliferation, and targeted inhibition blocks mouse xenograft tumor growth. To further clarify the function of EG-1, we investigated its role in c-Src activation. We observed that EG-1 overexpression results in activation of c-Src, but found no evidence that EG-1 is a direct Sr...

Massive blood loss resulting in hemorrhagic shock requires the use of a hemostatic tourniquet. According to literary sourced using tourniquet for 2 hours is safe, but newest investigations have shown ambiguous consequences body, coused by both local changes tissues under tourniquet’s pressure, and outflow metabolic products into general bloodstream from primarly ischemic limb.The aim was identi...
