Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePersonal Exposure to PM2.5 in the Various Microenvironments as a Traveler in the Southeast Asian CountriesSemih Ozler, Karoline K. Johnson, Michael H. Bergin, James Jay SchauerAir pollution has become a pressing issue in today’s society because of its significant effects on humans, animals, plants, air quality, climate and the wider environment. Most urban areas are associated with one or more air pollutants which are emitted from local or regional pollution sources including vehicle exhausts, fossil fuels using in energy production, emissions from industrial and mining … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 27 Oct 2018 · 9,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsATRA AS A POTENTIAL ANTIMETASTATIC AGENT IN COLORECTAL ADENOCARCINOMARobert Edwards, Kambiz Afrasiabi, Kehui WangThe family of Retinoic acid compounds have long been the subject of intense study and interest as chemo prophylactic agents. This dates back to their therapeutic effect in leukoplakia Where ATRA was shown to lead to the reversal of premalignant lesions and Subsequent reports on their use in metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma and a vast array of other malignant disorders as … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2014 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUncommon Toxicologic Profile at Toxic Doses of CPI-613 (an Agent Selectively Alters Tumor Energy Metabolism) in Rats and Minipigs Reflects Novel MechanismClaudia Maturo, King C. Lee, Robert Rodriguez, Robert ShorrProblem statement: CPI-613 is a novel anticancer agent and the toxicological profile has not been assessed. Accordingly, the objective of these studies was to thoroughly evaluate the Toxicokinetic (TK) effects of CPI-613 in rats and to compare the toxicological profile of rats to minipigs to determine if there were differences between the two animal species. Approach: These studies involved assessments … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Jun 2011 · 9,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Evaluation of Polydioxanone Threads Coated with Polyethylene Glycol and Amino Acids for Medical ApplicationEunji Park, Tae Su Jang, Jae Kyung KimPolydioxanone (PDO) is a biodegradable polymer with multiple medical applications. Recently, various coatings have been applied to products made of biodegradable polymers, in order to improve functionality. Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) hydrogels have demonstrated remarkable potential in accelerating wound healing and amino acids have been reported to stimulate protein synthesis in vivo and in vitro. The purpose of this study was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 24 May 2024 · 5,604 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Trilobatin on Bovine Serum Albumin: Interaction Mechanism and Molecular DockingYuhan Zhai, Yuqing Zhang, Yaping Li et al.Understanding the transport and distribution of small molecules in vivo is aided by studying their interactions with proteins. As a natural sweetener, trilobatin possesses several biological activities. However, uncertainty surrounds the trilobatin and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) interaction mechanism. In this study, the binding types, number of binding sites and binding constants of trilobatin interaction with BSA were studied by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2024 · 4,846 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Triple Immune Argument; Surveillance/Evasion/ Senescence and the Increased Incidence of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Observed with AgeManar M. IsmailAML originates from genetic insults of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs/HSCs) that was identified earlier as leukemia stem cells (LSCs). In quiescent state, trafficking immune cells are crucial for eradication of aberrant clones and obtaining balance between proliferation and apoptosis to maintain HSCs pool. Regulatory T-cells shield the HSCs from the inflammatory reactions by suppressing T- and B- cells. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2017 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBinding Interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin and Chicoric Acid, a Food Functional ComponentHaifang Xiao, Quancai Sun, Xuebo Liu, Yuanda SongFuorescence, FTIR and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy were used to explore the binding between chicoric acid and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). Binding characteristics at various levels of temperature have been calculated. The results indicated that chicoric acid statically quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA. The binding constants (Ka) were 4.14×105 L mol-1 at 273K and 4.29×106 L mol-1 at 298 k. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2016 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYPOXIC INFLAMMATION, A DEADLY BRIDGE TO MALIGNANT TRANSFORMATION AND A FERTILE SOIL FOR CANCER PREVENTIONKambiz Afrasiabi, Robert Edwards, Jonathan Melekh-Shalom, Kehui WangThe interplay of the inflammatory microenvironment with its hypoxic niche and the potential mechanism by which they lead to malignant transformation has long been the subject of great controversy and continues to be an area of great interest today. In our previous studies we have examined this subject by using Gia2 knock out mice as the focus of our research. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Oxygen Transfer Correlations for Stirred Tank Bioreactor Agitated with Atypical Helical Ribbon ImpellerMohd Shamzi Mohamed, Rosfarizan Mohamad, Ramakrishnan Nagasundara Ramanan et al.Problem Statement: Mixing filamentous fungi entails delicate balance between promoting high volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) while keeping low hydrodynamic stresses in the microenvironment of cultures. This study examined the oxygen transfer capability of a prototype low shear helical impeller as a potential replacement for the standard Rushton turbine. Approach: The dependence of kLa upon specific power uptake, superficial gas … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,169 accessesView PDFCite
