incorporation of copper species into silica matrix was performed by the sol-gel method. copper ions and copper particles were doped using two different copper sources; cu(no3)2.3h2o and copper particles chemically synthesized.the particles of copper metallic, cuprous and cupric oxide were prepared and the synthesis and characterizations of copper species were compared together. on the other han...

Nanocomposite of ZrO2/ZnO was prepared under ultrasonic irradiation by sol gel process from directly mixing Zirconium and Zinc gels. The mixture was placed under ultrasonic irradiation for 2 hours. After the aging time and filtration of the reaction mixture, the filtrated composite gel was calcinated at 500 °C for 3h in furnace. The precursor gels of zirconium and zinc were prepared ...

BACKGROUND Cellulose and its derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) have been employed as a biomaterial for their diverse applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery and other medical materials. Porosity of the scaffolds has advantages in their applications to tissue engineering such as more cell adhesion and migration leading to better tissue regeneration. After synthesis...

An N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, which converts blood group 0 red blood cells to A cells, was purified to homogeneity from plasma of blood group A, subjects. The enzyme was adsorbed on Sepharose QB, and after washing out the impurities, the enzyme was eluted with UDP. This procedure resulted in a 70,000to lOO,OOO-fold increase in specific activity with recovery of about 80%. Further purifi...

Two simple molecules, 1 and 2 with D-pi-A structure and alkoxyl groups, respectively, were designed and synthesized. Both compounds can gelatinize THF-water and DMSO. And compound 2 forms gel in acetone by ultrasonic stimulus. Interestingly, these gels exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE) during the sol-gel phase transformation. Moreover, the molecular self-assembled and photophysical pro...

Rabbit whole meibomian glands were isolated by microsurgical dissection and enzymatic digestion. Both ductal and acinar elements could be separated by subsequent microsurgical manipulation. Epithelial outgrowth could be derived from either the whole gland or the ductal/acinar elements using collagen gel in the serum-containing, growth factor-enriched medium. Two types of outgrowths were observe...
