Ukraine ranks first in Europe the number of natural water bodies. These abundant resources are source significant fish resources, which effectively exploited by fishing industry. Rationalization and equal distribution commercial load, reduction pressure on main species has always been an urgent issue. This can be achieved shifting focus to other types fish, will allow rational use entire comple...

We utilized a novel strategy, hierarchical structuring, to enhance the catalytic activity of coordination polymers. Hierarchical Prussian white crystals with hollow structures and kinked surfaces were synthesized by using a self-aggregation and etching strategy. The hierarchical structure significantly enhanced the catalytic activity of Prussian white in the degradation of methylene blue in com...

A new approach for the synthesis of Prussian blue nanoparticles using the cationic surfactant Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) as capping agent has been developed in the present work. Powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV–vis absorption spectra, and IR spectroscopy were employed to characterize the product. The TEM image showed that the Prussian blue nanoparticles with d...

INTRODUCTION Many investigators report that Prussian blue is effective on removing radiocesium from the body. However, we does not agree with the results obtained from the animal experiments, because administration methods on Prussian Blue administration used in these experiments, e.g., dose, route, initial time, resulting in superior effects are marked different from the conditions in the huma...

BACKGROUND The caspase-associated recruitment domain-containing protein (CARP) is expressed in almost all tissues. Recently, the tumor-suppressive function of CARP was discovered and attracted increasing attention. This study aimed to investigate the role of CARP in the carcinogenesis of human gastric carcinoma. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Compared with normal gastric tissue, the downregul...

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic mechanism of the transparent trait in transparent crucian carp. We observed body color development in transparent crucian carp larvae and analyzed heredity of color in hybrids produced with red crucian carp, ornamental carp, and red purse carp. The results showed that the body color of the newly hatched larvae matured into the adult pattern a...

Infection with the liver fluke, Opisthorchis felineus, caused by consumption of infected raw or undercooked cyprinid fish is common in humans and carnivores middle Ob River basin (Tomsk region, Russia) can lead to diseases humans. The goal this study was status infection O. felineus metacercariae order assess role human population basin. Of 14 Cyprinidae species recorded basin, we examined 6 fo...
