The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity some antibiotic and disinfectant against airborne bacteria from restaurants. Airborne were isolated five different restaurants using open plate method characterized standard microbiological techniques. susceptibility isolates antibiotics disinfectants determined Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion well diffusion. predominant identified in...

Abstract With the increased incidence and recognition, ulcerative colitis (UC) has become a global public health problem in world. Although many immunosuppressant biological drugs have been used for UC treatment, cure rate is still very low. It necessary to find some safe long-term medicine cure. Recently, Chinese traditional herb Danshen investigated treatment of UC. However, it limitation tha...

Nanomedicine has been used as a precise treatment for many diseases. The advantage of using nanodrugs is that they have more permeability and less toxicity to cells, which enhances the drug delivery system. Graphene well known its potential biological applications in drug, food, pharma industries. This study aimed assess productivity potentiality nitrogen-doped graphene (NDG) evaluate their ant...

Background Ginsenoside F1 has been described to possess skin-whitening effects on humans. We aimed to synthesize a new ginsenoside derivative from F1 and investigate its cytotoxicity and melanogenesis inhibitory activity in B16BL6 cells using recombinant glycosyltransferase enzyme. Glycosylation has the advantage of synthesizing rare chemical compounds from common compounds with great ease. M...

Metal complexes of cetirizine·2HCl (CTZ=2-[2-[4-[(4-chlorophenyl)phenyl methyl]piperazine-1-yl]-ethoxy]acetic acid, dihydrochloride have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, and UV-Vis spectra. The analytical data of the complexes show the formation of 1:2 [M:L] ratio, where M represents Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) ions,...

The aim of this research is to determine the quality and proximate composition of Amaranthus hybridus, Celosia argentea, and Talinum triangulare obtained from open markets in Benin City, Nigeria. Microbiological and proximate analysis were carried out using standard methods. Results of the proximate analysis revealed the presence of proteins (12.86 ± 0.19 %; 9.28 ± 0.07 % and 2.82 ± 0.08 %), ca...

Biofilm is commonly defined as accumulation of microbes, embedded in a self-secreted extra-cellular matrix, on solid surfaces or liquid interfaces. In this study, we analyze several aspects of Bacillus subtilis biofilm formation using tools from the field of image processing. Specifically, we characterize the growth kinetics and morphological features of B. subtilis colony type biofilm formatio...
