A set of lab-scale experiments were designed and conducted to remedy Direct Blue 15 (DB15) dye using nontoxic halloysite nanotubes (HNT) with the view be utilized in a textile industrial effluent (TIE). The DB15 adsorbed-HNT “sludge” was used as reinforcing agent plastic waste fabricate composite. To advance knowledge further understand chemical phenomena associated adsorption on HNT, different...

Downregulation of microRNA-129 (miR-129) has been described in various types of cancer, however, the significance of miR-129 in lung cancer has not been investigated. The present study, for the first time, determined miR-129-5p expression levels in both lung cancer cell lines and primary lung cancer tissues and also studied the effect of miR-129-5p on the proliferation and invasiveness of lung ...

miRNAs regulate gene expression and are key mediators of tumourigenesis. miR-129 has diverse effects in tumours, but its role in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains unknown. This article focuses on the role of miR-129-5p in LSCC. We show miR-129-5p is upregulated in primary LSCC tumours and correlated with advanced disease. Down-regulating miR-129-5p suppressed cell proliferation a...

We report the design and characterization of a metal ion-imidazole self-assembled monolayer on a gold electrode. The resultant monolayer is well-suited for direct immobilization of histidine and methylene blue-modified peptides.

It has often been thought that if one member of a pair of twins is a mongol, the other member is always affected if the pair is monozygous, and rarely affected if the pair is dizygous. This view is based on the absence of any report of monozygosity in a discordant pair. However, little evidence is available, since few of the pairs that have been recorded may be accepted unreservedly as monozygo...

This study purposed to explore the correlation between miR-129-5p and TGIF2 and their impacts on glioma cell progression. Differentially expressed miRNA was screened through microarray analysis. MiR-129-5p expression levels in glioma tissues and cells were measured by qRT-PCR. CCK-8 assay, flow cytometer, transwell assay and wound-healing assay were employed to detect cell proliferation, apopto...
