Effect of Curcumin on Odontogenic/Osteogenic Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells

Introduction: Stem cells have gained great attention in tissue engineering and curcumin is a natural phenolic product that had showed some positive effects on these cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of curcumin on the ...

Numerical computation of Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects on rotational micropolar nanomaterials with activation energy

The current article investigates the numerical study of the micropolar nanofluid flow through a 3D rotating surface. This communication may manipulate for the aim such as the delivery of the drug, cooling of electronic chips, nanoscience an...

Activation of Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: a Prospective Pilot Study

Introduction: Coagulation and fibrinolysis remain sparsely addressed with regards to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We hypothesized that ARDS development might be associated with changes in plasma coagulation and fibrinolysis. ...

Cold plasma Technology for Removal of Endotoxin from Dialysis Water

Cold plasma has emerged as a powerful energy-efficient and environmentally friendly advanced oxidation technique in recent decades as a non-thermal approach in a wide range of applications. It is a form of plasma that is created at low temp...

Brassica carinata biomass, yield, and seed chemical composition response to nitrogen rates and timing on southern Coastal Plain soils in the United States

Abstract Brassica carinata (carinata), a non‐food oilseed feedstock mainly used for biofuel, is a relatively new alternative winter crop in the southeastern (SE) United States (US). However, there are limited N rate and N application timing...

Weak‑Solvation‑Mediated Localized High‑Concentration Electrolyte for Sodium Metal Batteries.

Establishment of a Pre-vascularized 3D Lung Cancer Model in Fibrin Gel—Influence of Hypoxia and Cancer-Specific Therapeutics

Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide and the one that causes the highest mortality. In order to understand the disease and to develop new treatments, in vitro human lung cancer model systems which imitate the physio...

Independent Acidic pH Reactivity of Non-Iron-Fenton Reaction Catalyzed by Copper-Based Nanoparticles for Fluorescent Dye Oxidation

The process of hydrogen peroxide decomposition, facilitated by copper oxide nanoparticles, produces reactive oxidants that possess the ability to oxidize multiple pollutants. CuO/Cu2O hybrid nanoparticles were successfully synthesized throu...

High helminthic co-infection in tuberculosis patients with undernutritional status in northeastern Ethiopia

Abstract Background Tuberculosis and parasitosis are the widely distributed diseases in Ethiopia with the leading cause of mortality and morbidity, respectively. There has been no information on the status of co-infections of tuberculosis a...

Fluorescence detection of tramadol in healthy Chinese volunteers by high-performance liquid chromatography and bioequivalence assessment

Xiao Zhou, Ji Liu Department of Anesthesia, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China Abstract: This study developed a revised high-performance liquid chromatography fluore...

Exposure to particulate matter (PM2.5) and prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Indonesia

Background: Recently emerging evidence suggests an association between particulate matter less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) exposure and diabetes risk. However, evidence from Asia is limited. Here, we evaluated the association between PM...

Occurrence and Residue Concentration of Coccidiostats in Feed and Food of Animal Origin; Human Exposure Assessment

Occurring central Italy, 262 unmedicated feed samples and 353 samples of animal tissues and eggs are tested for coccidiostats between 2012 and 2017. A validated multi-residue HPLC-MS/MS method is applied for the simultaneous determination o...

Contextualizing salutogenesis and Antonovsky in public health development

More than 20 years have passed since the American-Israeli medical sociologist Aaron Antonovsky introduced his salutogenic theory 'sense of coherence' as a global orientation to view the world, claiming that the way people view their life ha...

Removal of Microcystin-LR by a Novel Native Effective Bacterial Community Designated as YFMCD4 Isolated from Lake Taihu

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is the most toxic and frequently detected monocyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria, which poses a great threat to the natural ecosystem and public health. It is very important to seek environment-...

Study on PM2.5 pollution and the mortality due to lung cancer in China based on geographic weighted regression model

Abstract Background PM2.5 has become a major component of air pollution in China and has led to a series of health problems. The mortality rate caused by lung cancer has reached the point where it cannot be ignored in China. Air pollution i...

Speciation of Ruthenium(III) Chloro Complexes in Hydrochloric Acid Solutions and Their Extraction Characteristics with an Amide-Containing Amine Compound
