Since maleic acid is capable of specially dissolving Chitosan, in this research the method of producing water lubricant nanoparticles in Chitosan solution, based on maleic acid has been studied. The resulting nanoparticles have a remarkable contact surface with the ordinary Chitosan form in absorbing metal ions, proteins and fat existing in Whey. After providing the 0.02, 0.03, 0.05 gr. density...

Most of the patients with asthma are found to be successfully treated with conventional therapy. However, there are a small proportion of asthmatic patients who fail to respond to corticosteroids even at high doses or with supplementary therapy. In addition, even high doses of corticosteroids have a minimal effect on the inexorable decline in lung function in COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary...

BACKGROUND Adequate bowel preparation is an essential prerequisite for complete mucosal visualization during colonoscopy. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions are commonly used. However the large volume of the solution is often poorly tolerated. Addition of Lubiprostone (LB) could improve the adequacy of standard PEG preparation & reduce requirement. The aims to assess adequacy of PEG preparatio...

In this paper, AuPt bimetallic nanoparticles-graphene nanocomposites were obtained by electrochemical co-reduction of graphene oxide (GO), HAuCl4 and H2PtCl6. The as-prepared AuPt bimetallic nanoparticles-graphene nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and other electrochemical methods. The morphology and composition...

OBJECTIVE To assess in a growth retardation (GR) model the impact of different propranolol (P) doses on anthropomorphometric and biomechanical variables of the appendicular skeleton. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one day-old male Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: control (C), C+P3.5 (CP3.5); C+P7 (CP7); C+P10.5 (CP10.5); C+P14 (CP14); ED, ED+P3.5 (EDP3.5); ED+P7 (EDP7); ED+P1...

In this study, spherical Nb2O5 nanoparticles were synthesized by a novel chemical method as a simple, robust, surfactant-free, non-toxic and widely applicable approach. In order to investigate the effect of initial concentration on particle sizes, nanoparticles with different initial concentration were synthesized. Ultrasonic assisted method was applied and the effects of ultrasonic treat...

Aldosterone and corticosterone bind to mineralocorticoid (MR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR), which, upon ligand binding, are thought to translocate to the cell nucleus to act as transcription factors. Mineralocorticoid selectivity is achieved by the 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2) that inactivates 11β-hydroxy glucocorticoids. High expression levels of 11β-HSD2 characteriz...

Various studies show that diabetes cases are increasing. Epidemiological data also reported 10.7 million in Indonesia 2019. Diabetic foot syndrome is a common complication individuals with DM. Its treatment costly and prolonged. Thus, we conducted an vivo study to assess the optimal peptide dose its effectiveness accelerating diabetic wound healing. This experimental laboratory randomized pre-p...
