We aimed to investigate whether 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) modulates glycometabolism and has toxicity in Eri silkworm (Samia cynthia ricini, Saturniidae). In this paper, hemolymph metabolites were used to explore metabolic changes after oral administration of DNJ or mulberry latex and to characterize the biological function of DNJ at the metabolic and systemic levels. Hemolymph samples were colle...

ardized herbal extract obtained from five different plants Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice), Vitis vinifera (grape), Alpinia officinarum (lesser galangal), and Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) [1–3]. Here, we present the first case of successful ABS usage in the therapy of radiation colitis. A 71-year-old woman who had undergone pelvic radiotherapy due to cancer of the cerv...

Steerable needles are a promising technology to provide safe deployment of tools through complex anatomy in minimally invasive surgery, including tumor-related diagnoses and therapies. For the 3-D localization these instruments soft tissue, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) based reconstruction methods have gained popularity because inherent advantages optical fibers clinical setting, such as flexibi...

Abstract Scale formation is one of the major issues in petroleum industry. The development these scale layers could result production losses and equipment instability because pipeline blockage, energy leakage, corrosion acceleration severe accidents which will impact safety process. utilization chemical inhibitors (SIs) considered an economical successful route for prevention. Two main componen...

ABSTRACT: The use of new compounds to increase the shelf life of more perishable foods based on nanoparticles and biodegradable polymers have been developed in packaging. Chitosan (Cts) is a natural biopolymer with excellent biodegradability and nontoxicity and antibacterial effect. In this research antibacterial copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were incorporated in the biodegradable chitosan matri...

Among all catalytic natural gas valorization processes, methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) still has a great potential to be utilized at an industrial level. Although the use of Mo/H-ZSM-5 as MDA catalyst was first reported almost three decades ago, process is yet industrialized, because its inherent challenges. In order improve overall performance and lifetime, co-feeding water constitutes pro...

Background: Curcuma longa generally known as turmeric includes curcuminoids and sesquiterpenoids as components, which are known to have antioxidative, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Iron, magnetite, and hematite as a micronutrient play an important role in physiological and chemical processes. Chitosan is a natural polymer derived from chitin and is recognized as versatile ...

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are a crucial component of solar cells. Tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) is the most employed TCO, but scarcity and high price induce search for lower-cost TCOs with equivalent properties as substitutes. Tin dioxide (SnO2) films have many advantages, such rich sources material, low prices, nontoxicity. SnO2 present visible-light transmittance, near-infrared ligh...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films are favored for wear components because of diamond-like hardness, low friction, low wear, and high corrosion resistance (Schultz et al., Mat-wiss u Werkstofftech 2004;35:924-928; Lappalainen et al., J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2003;66B:410-413; Tiainen, Diam Relat Mater 2001;10:153-160). Several studies have demonstrated their inertness, nontoxicity, and t...

T he field of asymmetric catalysis is dedicated to the development of efficient catalytic methods for the construction of chiral molecules and has been dominated by the use of organometallics and enzymes for most of its history. However, in the past decade, the concept of organocatalysis has emerged as a discrete strategy for addressing modern day challenges in chemistry. It has become widely a...
