In this study, we investigated the effects of temozolomide (TMZ)/Poly (lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA)/nano-hydroxyapatite microspheres on the behavior of U87 glioma cells. The microspheres were fabricated by the "Solid/Water/Oil" method, and they were characterized by using X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The proliferation, apoptosis and invas...

The coconut oil, coconut water and palm kernel oil was administered orally at a dose of 400mg/kg body weight to white albino rats to check for some effect on biochemical parameters. Twenty (20) rats divided into four (4) groups of five (5) rats each. One group was treated with distilled water and feed only serving as control, second group was treated with coconut water only while the third grou...

Thymol is a plant-derived natural compound with antimicrobial activity. However, we have little knowledge about the application of thymol in agriculture. One limitations high volatility and low aqueous solubility thymol. Tomato gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea one most devastating postharvest diseases. In this study, prepared nano-emulsion (named as Nano-Thy) to form stable O/W (oil water) ...

Nitrogen is an important element in the life of a plant. A wide range of nitrogen-containing compounds is available in the world market, with different formulations and efficiencies. Urea is present in most fertilizer applications; however, nano-nitrogen products are becoming popular although there is only limited information on their field efficiency. Thus, this paper studied the foliar applic...

This study experimentally investigates the effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT’s), as a reinforcing material, on the physical properties of heavy-weight oil well cements. A candidate well is selected and the properties of the cement slurry used in a problematic section of the well are tested in the laboratory. Carbon nanotubes (CNT’s) are added as fibers to the cement slurry and the i...

The objective of present work was development of felodipine nano emulsion formulations using sesame oil as sole lipid phase by high pressure homogenization technique. A combination of non-ionic surfactants was used based on HLB (Hydrophilic lipophilic balance) values. The resultant nano emulsions were characterized for particle size, zeta potential. The particle size for the optimized nano emul...
