Phacoemulsification and aspiration (PEA) has become the most popular cataract surgery, due to the establishment of safe surgical techniques and development of associated instruments. However, corneal endothelial damage still represents a serious complication, as excessive damage can lead to irreversible bullous keratopathy. In addition to causes such as mechanical or heat injuries, free radical...

radiation damage is to a large extent caused by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ros). radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the sensitivity to radiation damage in tumor cells. radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the ...

in this work, the study of various substituted kaempferol derivatives is presented. the bond dissociation energies (bde) have been calculated using b3lyp level and different basis sets in gas-phase. calculated results show that the bde values of substituted kaempferol range from about 77 to100 kcal/mol, demonstrating that kaempferol is an effective chain-breaking antioxidant that prevents lipid...

the present study was designed to explore the flavonoid contents and the radical scavenging activities of 50% ethanol extracts of leaves, stems, rachis and roots of dryopteris erythrosora. the total flavonoid contents in various parts were determined as: stems > roots > rachis > leaves. all extracts from different parts of d. erythrosora showed strong bioactivities. the dpph free radical scaven...
