BACKGROUND An analysis of dietary patterns or combinations of foods may provide insight regarding the influence of diet on the risk of colon and rectal cancer. OBJECTIVE A primary aim of the Dietary Patterns and Cancer (DIETSCAN) Project was to develop and apply a common methodologic approach to study dietary patterns and cancer in 4 European cohorts: the Alpha-Tocopherol Beta-Carotene Cancer...

The complex structure of the human brain defines it as one most inaccessible organs in terms drug delivery. blood-brain barrier (BBB) represents a microvascular network involved transporting substances between blood and central nervous system (CNS) – enabling entry nutrients simultaneously restricting influx pathogens toxins. However, its role protective shield for CNS also restricts access to ...

Rosuvastatin is a lipid lowering agent, which has low solubility and low bioavailability of 20% with oral administration. Therefore the present study was undertaken to improve solubility and bioavailability of Rosuvastatin by formulating it into Nano structured lipid carriers (NLCs) by using stearic acid and Compritol ATO 888 as solid-lipid, Oleic acid as liquid-lipid and Poloxamer 188 as a sur...

Objective(s): Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), with suitable and easy access, are multipotential cells that have the ability for differentiation into other mesodermal and transdifferentiate into neural phenotype cells. In this study, Lithium chloride (LiCl) was used for in vitro transdifferentiation of rat ADSCs into neuron-like cells (NLCs).<stro...

Abstract. This study investigates the link between interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By component and noctilucent clouds (NLCs) measured by Cloud Imaging Particle Size (CIPS) experiment onboard Aeronomy of Ice in Mesosphere (AIM) satellite. The mean ice particle radius NLCs is found to be positively correlated with IMF Southern Hemisphere (SH) negatively Northern (NH), respectively, on a day-...

BACKGROUND In order to prepare for the regulation about the limit of manure production, the status of manure management and the amount of nutrients in the compost discharged from Hanwoo breeding farm shall be known. This study aimed to find the practical amount of nutrients (volatile solids, VS; total nitrogen, T-N; total phosphorus, T-P) in manure, and compost samples collected from 40 Hanwoo ...

We investigate the solution landscape of a reduced Landau–de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) on two-dimensional hexagon at fixed temperature, as function ?—the edge length. This is generic example approaches regular polygons. apply high-index optimization-based shrinking dimer method to systematically construct consisting multiple solutions, with different defect configurations,...

The utilisation of lipid nanostructures that can in tandem act as Pickering emulsion stabilisers and active carrier/delivery systems, could potentially enable the development liquid (emulsion-based) formulations with capacity for multi-active encapsulation delivery. Part I this work focused on first aspect two-fold functionality by investigating both solid nanoparticles (SLNs) nanostructured ca...
