We have performed the synthesis of TiO2-MWCNT composites focusing on distribution photoactive phase carbon active sites existing in MWCNTs, and its effect properties for abatement propene. used different approaches dispersion MWCNTs during synthesis; 1) an ultrasound bath 5 minutes, 2) 60 3) probe min. observed that incorporation TiO2 improves catalytic activity photooxidation propene, but best...

Aim. Increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality have been observed in ankylosing spondylitis because of accelerated atherosclerosis. We measured carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) as a surrogate marker of atherosclerosis in this study. Methods. In this study 37 cases of AS and the same number of matched individuals were recruited. CIMT measurements were done using B-mode ultrasound. Di...

Ethyl esters of omega-3 fatty acids are active pharmaceutical ingredients used for the reduction in triglycerides treatment hyperlipidemia. Herein, an ultrasonic packed-bed bioreactor was developed continuous production docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) ethyl from DHA+EPA concentrate acetate (EA) using immobilized lipase, Novozym® 435, as a biocatalyst. A three-level–two-fac...

Four Dutch adults (twomen andtwowomen, age range 28-40) presented with vomiting and sweating. Two had suffered generalised' convulsions before admission. Symptoms appeared within two hours after they had eaten soup made from a wild plant that they believed to be celery. On admission none of the four had abnormal neurological signs apart from dilated pupils. All survived, requiring only supporti...

When diagnostic ultrasound started being used more routinely for fetal imaging in the 1970’s, it motivated an interest in the question of whether diagnostic ultrasound might induce biological effects in the fetus. As a result a great number of studies, primarily in animal models, have been performed over the last 30+ years to investigate the possible effects of in utero ultrasound exposure. The...

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root has long been used in traditional medicine due to its various therapeutic properties. One of the main active components licorice is glycyrrhizin, which shown possess numerous pharmacological effects. Glycyrrhizin, one major compounds present root, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor propertiesas well as antiviral properties against influenza virus c...

A system to measure light scattering from individual cells excited by an acoustic wave was designed, and tests were performed on live Jurkat cells. Cells passing in a laminar stream within a water bath were excited by a focused ultrasound pulse, while the scattered light from a laser beam was monitored at various scattering angles. The cells were modeled as viscoelastic liquid drops, which retu...

BACKGROUND High-intensity ultrasound pulses intermittently triggered from an ECG signal can interact with circulating contrast agent microbubbles to produce myocardial cavitation microlesions of potential therapeutic value. In this study, the timing of therapy pulses relative to the ECG R wave was investigated to identify the optimal time point for tissue reduction therapy with regard to both t...
