The development of radically new types corrosion-resistant cement composites is nowadays compulsory in view the continuous increase concrete consumption combined with intrinsically defective nature concrete. Among various additives being employed technology, carbon nanomaterials have emerged as extremely powerful components capable remarkably enhancing nano- and microstructures well properties ...

The exfoliated cell micronucleus (MN) assay using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with a centromeric probe is a rapid method for determining the mechanism of MN formation in epithelial tissues exposed to carcinogenic agents. Here, we describe the use of this assay to detect the presence or absence of centromeric DNA in MN induced in vivo by radiation therapy and chronic arsenic (As) in...

Surfactant exfoliated 2D hexagonal Boron Nitride (2D-hBN) nanosheets are explored as a potential electrochemical sensing platform and evaluated towards the electroanalytical sensing of dopamine (DA) in the presence of the common interferents, ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). Surfactant exfoliated 2D-hBN nanosheets (2-4 layers) fabricated using sodium cholate in aqueous media are electrica...

Aims-To investigate the expression of CD44 proteins in exfoliated urothelial cells and in tumour tissues from bladder cancer patients. A further objective was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of the changes observed in the expression of these proteins as a marker for non-invasive detection of bladder cancer.Methods-Naturally voided urine specimens were collected from 47 patients with bladde...

INTRODUCTION The results of total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer were first reported 20 years ago. The superior outcome in the original two papers was attributed to the complete excision of the mesorectum, preference for anterior resection over abdominoperineal resection, application of cytotoxic solutions to eradicate exfoliated tumour cells and specialisation in rectal cancer sur...

In situ sonic probe exfoliated graphene sheets in the presence of various concentrations of p-phosphonic acid calix[8]arene are effective in removing nitrate from aquatic effluents, with the efficiency increasing for higher ratios of calixarene to graphite. Mild sonication of the nitrate-adsorbed material releases some nitrate ions back to the effluent.
