Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of three dietary groups [standard diet (Cont; n = 8), standard diet plus bovine colostrum powder (BColost 1.7 g/kg; n = 8), or goat milk powder (GMilk 1.7 g/kg; n = 8)] to determine the ability of these supplements to reduce gastrointestinal hyperpermeability induced by heat. Raising core body temperature of rats to 41.5 degrees C increased transfer...

Soft X-ray emission spectroscopy of aqueous myoglobin upon Fe 2p core excitation was carried out using a liquid cell with a 150 nm-thick polyimide window in a high vacuum chamber below 1×10−7 Pa. Fe 2p soft X-ray emission from the heme center of a met-myoglobin powder was effectively detected compared to that of an Fe2O3 powder. Fe 2p soft X-ray emission spectra for a series of aqueous-myoglobi...

These glutathione (GSH)-conjugated CdTe/CdSe core/shell quantum dot (QD) nanoparticles in aqueous solution were synthesized using a microwave-assisted approach. The prepared type II core/shell QD nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis absorption, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Results reveale...

Single-phase equiatomic high-entropy alloy (HEA); CrMnFeCoNi, exhibits high strength and ductility at room temperature low due to the effect of twinning. In this study, a concept bimodal microstructure design for HEA using powder metallurgy was proposed. Microstructures sintered compact fabricated from mechanically-milled SUJ2 balls were analyzed by EBSD. A network structure fine grains (Shell)...

This study is designed to test the hypothesis that docetaxel [Doc] containing oily core nanocapsules [NCs] could be successfully prepared with a high percentage encapsulation efficiency [EE%] and high drug loading. The oily core NCs were generated according to the emulsion solvent diffusion method using neutral Labrafac CC and poly(d, l-lactide) [PLA] as oily core and shell, respectively. The e...
