Background & Aim:The major teeth problems associated with adults are: Plaque, Tartar, Tooth decay, Gingivitis, Periodontal disease. There is a long and venerable history of the use of plants to improve dental health and promote oral hygiene. There are a number of traditional herbal remedies for the treatment and management of diseases related to teeth, gum and oral hygiene. Good oral hygiene is...

during 2001-2005, 79 isolates of rhizoctonia from seed rot, seedling damping –off, root rot and dry rot canker of sugar beet were collected. based on morphological characteristics, number of nuclei per cell and hyphal diameter, isolates were classified in two groups, binucleate (4 isolates) and multinucleate (75 isolates). among 75 multinucleate isolates ,27 isolates were identified as  ag4, 28...

The present work was carried out to study the potential of plant rhizosphere associated bacteria for the biocontrol of potato black scurf disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani Khun AG-3. A total of twenty-eight bacteria isolated from diseased and healthy potato plants grown in the soil of Naran and Faisalabad, Pakistan were evaluated for their antagonistic potential. Nine bacterial strains were ...

In this work, Ag-Cu nanoparticles (with different percentages of copper, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% Cu) were synthesized by wet chemical method. Copper(II) sulfate and silver nitrate were taken as metal precursors, ascorbic acid as reducing agent and anhydride maleic (MA) as a modifier. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and scanning electron mic...

Abstract Background Insecticides are applied on a large scale in the environment to control oak processionary moth ( Thaumetopoea processionea ) for protection of human health. Drift insecticides non-target areas is risk surrounding biodiversity. Since habitats caterpillars usually restricted treetops, sprayers used apply biocidal products must be able transport droplets over longer distances. ...

Abstract This study goal to evaluate the effects of different concentrations lead (Pb) and silver (Ag) on germination, initial growth anatomical alterations Lactuca sativa L. Plants use various mechanisms reduce impacts caused by anthropic action, such as xenobiotic elements soils water contaminated heavy metals. These metals were supplied nitrate following treatments established: control for b...

Abstract Chitosan is a polysaccharides compound derived from nature and has an amine group hydroxyl that gives it unique physicochemical properties, which are polychationic chelating agent. This shows chitosan can be used as stabilizer reducer of Ag nanoparticles. Unlike other studies, was in this study Black Soldier Fly exuviae been through demineralization, deproteination, depigmentation, dea...

INTRODUCTION Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is a proteolytic enzyme which is associated with tumor progression including invasion, migration, angiogenesis, and metastasis due to its ability to degrade type IV collagen. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess clinical significance of MMP-9 measurement in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (E...

In this study, Cu, Ag, and Fe nanoparticles (NPs) are used in shampoo, hand washing liquid (HWL) and dish washing liquid (DWL) instead of the conventional synthetic preservatives such as isothiazolinones; since the latter often act as potent sensitizers that leads to development of allergic contact dermatitis. The above NPs are considerably effective against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus ...
