In this work, robust superhydrophobic cotton fabrics with ultraviolet (UV) shielding, self-cleaning, photocatalysis, and oil/water separation were successfully prepared based on micro/nano hierarchical ZnO/HNTs (halloysite nanotubes) hybrid particles silicone elastomer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). by in-situ growth of ZnO nanoparticles the surface halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). PDMS used to succe...

A 70-year-old male patient with generalized tumor-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) presented to our office. He had been treated with psoralen + ultraviolet A, bexarotene, and total-skin electron beam radiation with poor response. He rejected systemic chemotherapy. The most uncomfortable lesions were those involving his face, fingers, buttocks, and calcaneus region (Fig. 1a). Skin biopsy confirmed t...

Solar radiation is an important risk factor for skin cancer, the incidence of which is increasing, especially in the fair-skinned populations of the world. While the ultraviolet (UV)B component has direct DNA damaging ability, UVA-induced effects are currently mainly attributed to the production of reactive oxygen species. In our recent study, we compared the effects of UVA and UVB radiation on...

BACKGROUND Organophosphorus pesticides are one of the most consumable poisons. Such poisons can enter water sources by different routes. Since consuming some drinking water containing an amount of poison higher than the standard level, causes undesirable effects on human health. This research aimed to study the effectiveness of eliminating malathion from water by ultraviolet irradiation (UV) me...

The numbers of ultraviolet light (UV)-induced pyrimidine dimers in the DNA of neonatal BALB/c mouse skin were measured by assessing the sensitivity of the DNA to Micrococcus luteus UV endonuclease. Irradiation of neonatal BALB/c mice with FS40 sunlamps caused a dose-dependent induction of endonuclease-sensitive sites (pyrimidine dimers) in DNA extracted from back skin. Exposure of these UV-irra...

PURPOSE To compare the macroscopic and microscopic distributions of the novel non-toxic lipophilic porphyrins copper (II) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(3-[1,2 dicarba-closo-dodecaboranyl]methoxyphenyl)-porphyrin (CuTCPH), potentially useful for boron neutron-capture therapy (BNCT), with those of its zinc fluorescent congener zinc (II) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(3-[1,2 dicarba-closo-dodecaboranyl]methoxyphenyl...

Untuk mendapatkan kemurnian etanol >99,5% diperlukan metode adsorpsi menggunakan Zeolit Alam Lampung (ZAL). Agar dapat digunakan sebagai adsorben zeolit harus dilakukan aktivasi dengan irradiasi lampu sinar ultraviolet germicidal lamp 254 nm, black light 360 nm dan insect 546 nm. Hasil uji karakteristik BET didapatkan luas permukaan non-treatment 41,331 m2/g, 41,158 40,399 m2/g 38,796 m2/g. ...

LAMP-1 (lysosome-associated membrane protein), a major glycoprotein present in the lysosomal membrane, constitutes up to 50% of total membrane proteins. LAMP-1, expressed at the plasma membrane, is reported to be the major molecule expressing the sialyl-Lewis X antigen. Two forms of LAMP-1 exist; the full-length LAMP-1 [LAMP-1 (+Tail)] has a highly glycosylated lumenal domain, a membrane-spanni...

<p>During the COVID-19 pandemic, use of masks is an obligation for everyone to maintain transmission virus fellow humans. Public places such as stations are one locations that may produce single-use personal protective equipment waste. This study aimed plan most appropriate type infectious waste container disposable masks. Storage with addition ultraviolet lamp technology way increase rem...

background: icter is the most prevalent disease in newborns. although most of the newborns affiliated with this seem healthy in other aspects, there is always a fear for toxic complication of indirect hyperbilirobinemia in the central nervous system. if the level of indirect bilirobin increases in the plasma to a level, which denotes the probability of danger, phototherapy must be carried out i...
