Curcumin is the natural bio-active component of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) with known therapeutic properties; nevertheless, its biological applications are limited due to its poor bioavailability. To overcome this limitation, curcumin was conjugated with silica nanoparticles. Curcumin was separated from turmeric by microwave-assisted extraction and silica nanoparticles were developed from rice...

S.typhimurium is a gram negative bacterium causing serious enteric or extraintestinal infections in human, cattle and birds. These kinds of infections may lead to some permanent or nonpermanent complications like endophthalmitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and osteomyelitis . Multi-resistant strains of S.typhimurium have been reported from several countries, and these infections are a major public...

Global Krylov subspace methods are the most efficient and robust methods to solve generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equation. In this paper, we propose the nested splitting conjugate gradient process for solving this equation. This method has inner and outer iterations, which employs the generalized conjugate gradient method as an inner iteration to approximate each outer iterate, while each...

aflatoxins are a group of fungal toxic metabolites, which are contaminated certain food commodities. elisa is one of the sensitive methods for detection of aflatoxins. preparation and stabilizing of a proper conjugated tracer for detection of aflatoxins is probably the main step for designing an elisa method. in current study, different stabilizers were applied to stabilize a newly prepared con...

The coastal region of southwest Saudi Arabia contains a thick sequence Late Oligocene basalts in the Jizan Group, which accumulated along continental rift that preceded opening Red Sea. These are targeted for disposal CO 2 emitted from industrial sources by subsurface carbon mineralization processes. potential Group depends on having adequate permeability fracture networks capable conducting in...

The stress configuration and tectonic analysis of the Pan – African orogeny is drawn from the Igarra schist belt, southwestern Nigeria. The analysis of conjugate shear fractures of the schist belt indicates that two distinct compressive events (NE – SW and E – W) occurred in this Pan – African mobile zone. The palaeostress systems reveal a clockwise rotation of compressional axis from D1 (NE – ...

conclusions vaccine based on the conjugation of p. aeruginosa pao-1 lps with dt increased anti-lps antibodies and had a significant potential to protect against pseudomonas infections. background treatment of pseudomonas aeruginosa pao-1 infections through immunological means has been proved to be efficient and protective. objectives the purpose of this study was to produce a conjugate vaccine ...

miRNAs as one of the potential therapeutic agents have been recently considered for cancer treatment. AS1411 (aptNCL) is a DNA aptamer specifically binding to nucleolin protein on the cancer cell surface with antiproliferative effect. The aim of the study was to develop a conjugate consisted of aptNCL (as targeted delivery of therapeutic agent) and miRNA let-7d (as a tumor suppressor) using two...
