The present study aimed to investigate the adsorption capacity of two anionic dyes, namely, Congored (CR) and Coralene Dark Red2B (DR), onto prepared alginate (Alg) chitosan(Cs) biopolymer films. biopolymers were combined at different mass ratios using a “solvent-cast” process incorporate their unique properties evaluate effectiveness in removing dyes. All samples characterized by means Fourier...

Nanostructures of magnesium oxide is one of the most attractive materials which have shown various applications in many aspects of industries. So, finding a controllable and inexpensive technique to produce desirable nanostructures of MgO is valuable. In this work, magnesium oxide (MgO) with different morphologies was successfully prepared via a simple solid-state method. The molar ratio of sod...

INTRODUCTION There is increasing evidence for the involvement of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an anti-inflammatory transcription factor that regulates the oxidative stress defense. Our previous experiments demonstrated that kavalactones protect neuronal cells against Amyloid β (Aβ...

Glycoxidation plays a crucial role in diabetes and its associated complications. Among the glycoxidation agents, methylglyoxal (MG) is known to have very highglycationpotential witha concomitant generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during its synthesis and degradation. The presentstudy probes the MG and ROSinduced structural damage to immunoglobulin G (IgG) and alterations in its immunog...

Sol-gel derived sulfur modified and pure ZnO nanorod were prepared using zinc chloride and thiocarbamide as raw materials. Prepared nanorods were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry- differential scanning calorimetry (TG–DSC), UV- Vis absorption spectroscopy, Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) specific surface area and Barrett Joyner Halenda (BJH) pore size distributio...

To the Editor, Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary disease characterized by sporadic, paroxysmal attacks of fever and serosal inflammation described primarily in several ethnic groups originating from Mediterranean region. The most serious complication of FMF is chronic renal failure (CRF) developing due to secondary amyloidosis (1). Clinically evident lung involvement due to FMF...
