in this study, we describe the growth of carbon nanotubes on commercial iron nanoparticles without carbon shell (fe (nm), size 2o3 and fe* (nm)/mgo) was carried out by mixing commercial fe* nanoparticles (as catalyst) with al2o3 and mgo powders (as supports)by using ball-milling method. the results show in spite of the fact that ball-milling process can have negative effects on diameter and mor...

Red pine leafs were applied for the green method preparation of MgO nano-plates. The MgO nano-plates were used for the one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrano [3,2-c] chromene derivatives. This procedure is very simple and affords excellent yields. MgO nanoplates were synthesized via a simple precipitation method with the using of an extract solution of red pine leaves. The XRD pattern shows a cubic...

Gene therapy and RNA delivery require a nanoparticle (NP) to stabilize these nucleic acids when administered in vivo. The presence of degradative hydrolytic enzymes within these environments limits the nucleic acids' pharmacologic activity. This study compared the effects of nanoscale ZnO and MgO in the protection afforded to DNA and RNA from degradation by DNase, serum or tumor homogenate. For...

Pulsed laser deposition was used to grow Sr(2)FeMoO(6) films of different thicknesses on MgO(100), SrTiO(3)(100), and LaAlO(3)(100) with respective lattice mismatches of +6.2%, -1.2%, and -4.3%. Surface roughness and morphology, and film crystal quality and epitaxy were determined by atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction, respectively. Two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth was evident f...

Tanshinone IIA is one of the major diterpenes from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge and has been shown to possess a protective effect on the endothelial cells. The present study aimed to investigate whether tanshinone IIA could protect against methylglyoxal (MGO)-induced injury in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC). Using cultured HBMEC, cell viability was measured by MTT assay and tr...

Although hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is one of the major antibacterial factors in most honeys, it does not accumulate in medical-grade manuka honey. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of artificially added methylglyoxal (MGO) on H₂O₂ accumulation in natural non-manuka honeys. H₂O₂ concentrations in the honey solutions were determined using a fluorimetric assay. Two, the most pote...

Double-barrier magnetic tunnel junctions with two MgO barriers and three CoFeB layers exhibiting tunneling magnetoresistance TMR values of more than 100% were fabricated. The bias voltage dependence of the TMR ratio is highly asymmetric after annealing at low temperatures, indicating dissimilar CoFeB/MgO interfaces. The TMR effect decays very slowly for positive bias and is only reduced to half...
