In photosynthetic microorganisms, the toxicity of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) is typically characterized by a decrease in growth, viability, photosynthesis, as well induction oxidative stress. However, it currently unclear how shape structure CNMs, such 1-dimensional nanotubes (CNTs) compared to two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO), affects way they interact with cells. this study, effects GO an...

BACKGROUND The applications of oxidized carbon nanotubes (o-CNTs) have shown potentials in novel drug delivery including the brain which is usually a challenge. This underscores the importance to study its potential toxic effect in animals. Despite being a promising tool for biomedical applications little is known about the safety of drugs in treating brain diseases. The toxicity of oxidized mu...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of nano-clay particles and oxidized polypropylene as compatibilizer on the decay resistance of wood plastic composite against coriolus versicolor fungi. in order to provide oxidized polypropylene as compatibilizer, polypropylene was oxidized in the presence of air oxygen in 2 hours by internal mixer. afterwards, wood fibers, polypropylene, nano-...

Carbon nanotubes possess unique chemical, physical, optical, and magnetic properties, which make them suitable for many uses in industrial products and in the field of nanotechnology, including nanomedicine. We describe fluorescent nanocomposites for use in biosensors or nanoelectronics. Then we describe recent results on the issue of cytotoxicity of carbon nanotubes obtained in our labs. Silic...

In the crystal structure of the title organic salt, C(3)H(10)NO(+)·IO(4) (-)·C(12)H(24)O(6), the protonated 2-meth-oxy-ethanaminium (CH(3)OC(2)H(4)-NH(3) (+)) cation forms a 1:1 supra-molecular rotator-stator complex with the 18-crown-6 mol-ecule via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The (CH(3)OC(2)H(4)-NH(3) (+)) group is attached from the convex side of the bowl-shaped crown, in contrast to similar ammon...

oxidation of low density lipoprotein (ldl) particles plays a key role in the etiology of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (cad). oxidative stress enhances the likelihood of ldl oxidation and atherosclerotic plaque development. paraoxonase (poni) is an enzyme associated with hdl that metabolizes organophosphates and has antioxidant activity. in order to investigate the relationship be...

background: elevated serum levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxldl) have been found in type 2 and in poorly controlled diabetic patients. gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) has common features with type 2 diabetes. objective: the aim of our study was to evaluate the serum levels of oxldl in women with gdm compared to normal pregnant women. materials and methods: in this cross-section...
