Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of zinc and magnesium supplementation on glycemic control and serum insulin in type 2 diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial 70 diabetic patients who referred to Yazd Diabetes Center were selected. Subjects received 500 mg/day magnesium oxide or 100 mg/day zinc sulfate randomly for 8 weeks. At th...

Nano-sized nickel oxide (nano-NiO) is a new nanomaterial that has shown great promise in many areas of application. Understanding its environmental fate and effects is critical for minimizing the potential environmental implications of this new material due to incidental and accidental releases in the future. In this study, we observed strong adsorption of tetracycline to nano-NiO and found tha...

The topological index is a numerical representation of molecular structure and predicts the physical property chemical compound. In present work, we have developed explicit expressions recently defined novel Ve- degrees Ev-degrees based indices Magnesium Oxide MgO (111). For this by consider unit cell (111) which extended to its general structure. After that, computed Ve-degrees then employing ...

The authors compared the antimanic effects of a verapamil-magnesium oxide (V-M) combination with a verapamil-placebo combination (V-P) in patients pretreated with verapamil. BPRS scores and serum magnesium levels were compared. The V-M combination was found to be significantly more effective than V-P in reducing manic symptoms (P=0.015). Serum magnesium levels were significantly higher in the V...

Magnesium has been recently recognized as a biodegradation metal for bone substitute application. In the present work, porous magnesium-zinc scaffolds were prepared by powder metallurgical process and nano hydroxyapatite (HAP) coating on the Mg-3Zn (wt.%) scaffold was prepared by pulse electrodeposition and alkali treatment processes to improve the corrosion resistance of scaffold. The results ...

Nano-sized particles of manganese oxides have been prepared by a very simple and cheap process using a decomposing aqueous solution of manganese nitrate at 100 °C. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectrometry have been used to characterize the phase and the morphology of the manganese oxide. The nano-sized manganese oxide shows efficient cata...

a feasibility study on the possible growth of rod-shaped nano size zinc oxide particles on the surface of polyester fabric was investigated. the nanoparticles were produced using a hydrolysis method, with a zinc compound being utilized as the starter material. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (sem/eds) and x-ray d...

A novel electrocatalyst of layered MoS2 supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) decorated with nano-sized tungsten carbide (WC) shows an enhanced catalytic performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction, which could be attributed to the presence of a conductive and electrocatalytically-active nano-WC dispersant and the positive synergistic effect between nano-WC/RGO and layered MoS2.

Background: Magnesium oxide nanoparticles are characterized with a wide variety of applications and are mass-produced throughout the world. However, questions remain regarding their safety. There has been paucity of toxicology research on their side effects, especially under in vivo conditions. Objectives: The present paper aims at evaluating the...
