An easy method was used to modify the Cloisite Na+ with different cationic surfactants. To prevent the damages in the clay crystal structure, the process was taken without acid activation. The organo-modified montmorillonite (MMT) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis (TG/DTG), field emission scanning electron microscopy ...

Depending upon the environment, macrophages can show at least two different phenotypes, including the inflammatory (M1) phenotype and the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype. CD11c–positive M1 macrophages produce proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) 1, which are linked to the development of obesity-associat...

Genomic integrity is continually under attack by both endogenous and exogenous sources. One of the most common forms of damage is oxidation of the thymine nucleobase to form (5R,6S)-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydro-thymine (thymine glycol or Tg), which stops DNA polymerases and is thus cytotoxic. Thymine glycol damage is repaired through a variety of mechanisms, including the multi-step base excision repa...

Abstract The goal of the current study is to investigate thermal degradation palm fronds (PF), olive leaves (OL), and wheat straw (WS) through pyrolysis calculate their kinetic data using TG-DTG DTA approaches. parameters were assessed isoconversional techniques like Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) methods, as well model-fitting integral method, which employs various diffu...

BACKGROUND The potential of coupling chemometric data processing techniques to thermal analysis for formulating an "archaeometric" classification of fossil bones was investigated. Moreover, the possibility of integrating the outcomes of this approach with the results of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectroscopy for an anthropological interpretation of the observed patterns was also...

The study is aimed to assess the compatibility of bilberry leaf powder extract (BLPE) with six excipients selected for sustained-release (SR) tablet formulation. BLPE was obtained addition L-arginine and Myo-inositol as carriers. Thermogravimetric (TG-DTG) analysis Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), supported by Pearson correlation analysis, were applied detect possible interaction...

A series of new mixed ligand complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II) have been synthesized with 3-benzyl-1H-4-[(2methoxybenzylidine) amino]-1, 2, 4-triazole-5thione (MBT), 3-bezyl-1H-4-[(4-chlorobenzylidine) amino]-1, 2, 4-triazole-5-thione (CBT), 3-benzyl1H-4-[(4-nitrobenzylidine)amino]-1, 2, 4-triazole5-thione (NBT) and dehydroacetic acid sodium salt (Nadha). The mixed...

This study aimed to evaluate the orofacial antinociceptive effect of the Cymbopogon winterianus essential oil (LEO) complexed in β-cyclodextrin (LEO-CD) and to assess the possible involvement of the central nervous system (CNS). The LEO was extracted, chromatographed, and complexed in β-cyclodextrin. The complex was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry d...
