In this study, the hepatoprotective effect of the methanol extract of aerial parts (shoot) from Otostegia persica Boiss (Golder) was investigated against the carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute hepatotoxicity in male rats. Liver damage was induced through the oral administration of 50% CCl4 in liquid paraffin (2.5 mL/Kg bw, per os) 60 min after the administration of the methanol extract o...

The excellent properties of graphene phase change nanocomposite made it have potential application value in the field heat storage materials, which was expected to achieve integration transfer and storage. In order enhance thermal performance paraffin energy storage, structure models n-octadecane three kinds graphene/n-octadecane composites were established. Molecular dynamics method used study...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the morphological alterations that occurred in the parotid glands of rats maintained on a liquid diet compared to a solid diet. Thirty-six animals were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received a solid diet, and the experimental group received a liquid diet. The animals were killed after 8, 15 and 30 days. The glands were prepared for ...

Abstract Lubricant-infused textured surfaces have gained much attention as liquid-repellent owing to high surface stability compared their superhydrophobic counterparts. In this study, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micro-structures (width: 20 μ m, height: 80 m), were fabricated using soft lithography. Effects of micro-structural geometry, including pillar-type (pillar, discrete ridge) and hole-ty...
