A hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution was adapted for microwave pretreatment of microcrystalline cellulose, which can be further used for heavy metal adsorption. The H2O2 concentration, temperature, and retention time were the key factors affecting the microwave/hydrogen peroxide pretreatment process. A Box-Benhken design (BBD) with response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to design and op...

Aurora-A/BTAK/STK15, involved in regulating centrosomes and chromosome segregation, is overexpressed in human breast carcinoma and other cancers. The Phe31-->Ile polymorphism in Aurora A alters the kinase function, with the Ile31 variant being preferentially amplified and associated with degree of aneuploidy in human tumors. We have previously shown that the Phe31Ile polymorphism is associated ...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Berberis vulgaris (BV) juice consumption on insulin homeostasis, glycemic profiles of patients with benign breast disease (BBD). SUBJECTS/METHODS: This parallel design, triple-blind, randomized and placebo controlled clinical trial was conducted on 85 eligible women diagnosed with BBD who recruited from Nour-Nejat hos...

The most effective method for producing fermentable sugars (FSs) from biomass is thermochemical pretreatment assisted by enzymatic hydrolysis. However, the hydrolysis-assisted limited formation of fermentation inhibitors, and it time-consuming. There growing interest in using a microwave (MW) due to its uniform rapid heating. This study aimed determine, perform data-driven modeling, optimize ef...

The effect of different parameters such as temperature, type catalyst and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration on the degradation pollutants in water by Fenton-like oxidation was studied using Box-Behnken design (BBD), an effective statistical model to experiments. Concerning heterogeneous catalysts, three bimetallic catalysts with lanthanum (La) iron (Fe) ion-exchanged into zeolites (NaY ZSM...

As a key parameter in the adsorption process, removal rate is not available under most operating conditions due to time and cost of experimental testing. To address this issue, evaluation efficiency NH4+ from stormwater by coal-based granular activated carbon (CB-GAC), novel approach, response surface methodology (RSM), back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) coupled with genetic al...

Background: To assess Biliary Enteric Anastomosis in Benign Disorders.Materials & methods: A total of 100 patients were evaluated. Only those included which affected by BBDundergoing biliary enteric anastomosis enrolled. The procedures used choledochoduodenostomy (CDD),choledochojejunostomy (CDJ), and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ). All the pre-informed about entire studyprotocol. Compl...
