This research focused on the preparation and characterization of Cu@N-TiO2/Ti (N-TiO2/Ti decorated with Cu) thin film electrode and its activities test in photoelectrocatalytic system. This study investigated the time effect of Copper (Cu) electrodeposition and the concentration of nitrogen (N) in the photocatalytic characteristics of TiO2. The catalyst has been prepared for activities test on ...

beta2-Microglobulin accumulation with resultant tumor formation is a known albeit rare complication of long-term hemodialysis. Although these tumors may occur in various locations, subcutaneous shoulder nodules are very infrequent. We report a patient with end-stage kidney failure who had been on hemodialysis for 16 years and noted left shoulder nodules after initiation of hemodialysis; these n...

To develop a direct microbial sugar conversion platform for the production of lipids, drop-in fuels and chemicals from cellulosic biomass substrate, we chose Yarrowia lipolytica as a viable demonstration strain. Y. lipolytica is known to accumulate lipids intracellularly and is capable of metabolizing sugars to produce lipids; however, it lacks the lignocellulose-degrading enzymes needed to bre...

Sixty-two patients affected by MGUS underwent fat tissue aspirate examination for diagnosis of AL amyloidosis. Nine out of the 62 were found to be Congo red positive. MGUS had already been diagnosed for quite a long time in about 60% of these patients, while this prevalence decreased to 24% among the Congo red negative patients. The follow-up of the positive patients is reported.

Congo red inhibits the accumulation of protease-resistant PrP in scrapie-infected mouse neuroblastoma cells. Here we show that Congo red also inhibits the replication of scrapie infectivity in these cells. This observation is consistent with the idea that protease-resistant PrP is a vital component of the scrapie agent or that agent replication depends on the presence of protease-resistant PrP ...

Twenty avian Escherichia coli isolates from normal and diseased chickens were compared by use of three virulence tests. These tests included the uptake of Congo red dye, an embryo lethality test, and a quantitative microtiter complement resistance test. A direct correlation was seen between the results of the complement resistance test and the embryo lethality test. The results of the Congo red...

Incomplete vagotomy is the single most common cause of ulcer recurrence. Completeness of vagotomy was assessed postoperatively in 17 patients using the congo red test. Various types of vagotomies included truncal vagotomy and gastrojejenostomy in 6, highly selective vagotomy in 5, truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty in 3 and selective vagotomy with gastrojejenostomy in 3 cases. Congo red test was...

OBJECTIVE Mycobacterium avium subspecies (subsp.) paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne's disease in ruminants and has been associated with Crohn's disease in humans. We sought to test growth rates and susceptibilities of various strains of MAP in two available growth media. DESIGN Paired comparison design. METHODS Using the BACTEC macrobroth radiometric growth system and C...

The preparation of heterogeneous Fenton catalysts with both adsorption and catalytic properties has become an effective strategy for the treatment refractory organic wastewater. In this work, 4A-Fe@Cu bimetallic a three-dimensional core-shell structure were prepared by simple, template-free, surfactant-free methodology used in degradation Congo red (CR). results showed that open network positiv...

This work prepared a double-cross-linked biohybrid aerogel (DCBA) bead biosorbent from waste bamboo paper and chitosan by sequential physical (hydrogen bonding electrostatic interaction between -COO - -NH 3 + groups) chemical (polymerization reaction -COOH 2 , dehydration condensation Si-OH -OH) cross-linkings. The resulting DCBA was applied to remove cationic (Methylene blue, MB) anionic (Cong...
