Objective: To investigate the preparation of reduced graphene oxide (reduced-NGO) and its photothermal therapy of gliomas in vivo and in vitro. Methods: Hydrazine hydrate reduction method was used to reduce graphene oxide (NGO). The morphology, diameter, stability and UV-VIS absorbance of reduced-NGO were detected firstly; and then, the photothermal conversion effect of reduced-NGO under 2 w/cm...

Superacids, defined as acids with a Hammett acidity function H0 ≤ -12, are useful materials, but a need exists for new, designable solid state systems. Here, we report superacidity in a sulfated metal-organic framework (MOF) obtained by treating the microcrystalline form of MOF-808 [MOF-808-P: Zr6O5(OH)3(BTC)2(HCOO)5(H2O)2, BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate] with aqueous sulfuric acid to genera...

abstract obligatory modelling of precipitations in various periods, have a lot of problems and weakness because of their casual nature in time and space. moreover, their uncertainty in predictions, reduce credibility of estimations which have done via these models. wavelet is one of the novel and very effective methods in analyzing of time series and signals considered in the hydrology in recen...

Ag-TiO2@polyethylene glycol (PEG) nanoparticles were continuously obtained in a single-pass configuration by appropriately reacting freshly flame-synthesized TiO2 with Ag formed in an ultrasonic aqueous medium containing PEG. When the proposed synthesis was kept constant, the production rate for Ag-TiO2@PEG nanoparticles reached approximately 3 g/h while only using a combination of a lab-scale ...

PURPOSE Approximately 2-13% of the world population suffers from onychomycosis. Recently, lasers have been introduced for treatment. However, no effect was found with in vitro laser irradiation of pathogens on agar plates. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of laser irradiation against fungi using an alternative in vitro approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lasers of 808, 980 and 1064 nm...

Combined QM/MM calculations of an activesite of Cytochrome P450cam have been performed, before and after a binding process of Cytochrome P450cam to Putidaredoxin. The calculations have been carried out for two coordination spheres of the heme active-site of Cytochrome P450cam, namely a 5-coordinated, and a 6coordinated system of this protein having a water molecule as a 6th ligand. An experimen...

The aim of this study was to discover a simple/convenient geometrical arrangement of radiation sources and detector to acquire finger-photoplethysmograms (PPGs) with wavelength regions of blood glucose (BGL) absorption, toward practical noninvasive BGL measurement. First, we compared PPGs with three wavelengths: 808 nm (without water absorption), 1160 nm (with weak water absorption), and 1600 n...

AIM This in vitro study evaluated the pulpal and subsurface temperatures during proximal tooth surface irradiation with different settings of an 808 nm diode laser. MATERIALS AND METHODS The elevation of pulpal and subsurface temperature during irradiation was measured using thermocouples positioned in the centre of the pulp chamber (n=30) and in the centre of a prepared 1.5 mm deep coronal c...
