Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleGraphene Synthesis by Plasma-Enhanced CVD Growth with EthanolTeresa Campo, María Cotto, Francisco Márquez et al.A modified route to synthesize graphene flakes is proposed using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique, by using copper substrates as supports. The carbon source used was ethanol, the synthesis temperature was 950°C and the pressure was controlled along the whole process. In this CVD synthesis process the incorporation of the carbon source was produced at low pressure and 950°C … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2016 · 9,146 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacterization of Boron Carbonitride (BCN) Thin Films Deposited by Radiofrequency and Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor DepositionM.A. Mannan, M. Nagano, K. Shigezumi et al.Boron carbonitride (BCN) thin films with a thickness of ~4 µm were synthesized on Si (100) substrate by radiofrequency and microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition using trimethylamine borane [(CH3)3N.BH3)] as a molecular precursor. The microstructures of the films were evaluated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,371 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross Talk between Iron Regulatory Proteins and Proinflammatory Molecules in Ovarian Cancer Patients Based on Menopausal StatusHaritha Padannapurath Manoj, Sudha Kuthethur, Reshma Kumarchandra et al.Micronutrient iron is postulated to contribute to the initiation of cancer mainly by the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), the key signaling molecules of inflammatory reactions. Iron may also cause elevation of MMP9, a gelatinase responsible for remodeling extracellular matrix in cancer cells through the ROS pathway. Estrogen the hormone which decreases markedly in post menopause is also known … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 31 May 2024 · 4,491 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProposed Insights in the Pharmaco-Dynamic Theory of Ascorbate Pro-Oxidant ActivityKheir Eddine Kerboua, Fatma Haiba, Fatima Bendjemia et al.Ascorbate pro-drug theory promising possible effective and nontoxic treatment is intensively examined and centered on the importance of both extracellular and intra-cellular effects of ascorbate. In this study, we sought to determine the in vitro cell responsiveness in a plasma free milieu with or without an extracellular catalyst and/or hydrogen peroxide. This project brought to light how ascorbic acid would … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2015 · 6,966 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractP-Glycoprotein-Mediated Efflux and Drug Sequestration in Lysosomes Confer Advantages of K562 Multidrug Resistance Sublines to Survive Prolonged Exposure to Cytotoxic AgentsNathupakorn Dechsupa, Samlee MankhetkornProblem statement: Cellular drug resistance to anticancer agents is major obstacle in cancer chemotherapy and the mechanisms by which these MDR cells possess for protecting themselves to survive prolonged exposure to cytotoxic agents still debating. The study aimed to clarify the role of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and enhanced drug sequestration in lysosomes to confer the multidrug resistance K562 cells with varied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,504 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of S-Nitroso-N-Acetylpenicillamine and S-Nitroso-Captopril Co-Administered with Cysteine on Blood Glucose Concentration in an Animal ModelSacha Campbell, Ruby Alexander-Lindo, Tara Dasgupta et al.The study sought to test the hypothesis that co-administration of SNAP and cysteine or CapSNO and cysteine in normoglycaemic rats may further reduce glucose tolerance. An oral glucose tolerance was carried out and the plasma nitrite concentrations were measured and taken as the biochemical markers of in vivo NO formation. The results showed blood glucose levels were significantly elevated at … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,221 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Frequency of Polymorphisms affecting Lead and Mercury Toxicity among Children with AutismShannon Rose, Stepan Melnyk, Alena Savenka et al.Individual risk of developmental neurotoxicity with exposure to environmentally relevant levels of lead and mercury is likely to be determined by genetic susceptibility factors as well as additive interactions with other environmental pollutants, cumulative dose, and the developmental stage of exposure. The apparent increase in autism diagnosis over the last 15 years has enhanced interest in the possibility that an … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,521 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelation between Autoimmunity Chronic Urticaria and the Levels of Plasma Prothrombin F1+2Liu Xiaoming, Sheng Wanxiang, Ahmad T. Khalaf et al.A number of recent epidemiologic and experimental studies have enhanced our knowledge of the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic urticaria (CU), a disease that imposes profound impairment on patient's quality of life. Our study was performed to explore the relation between autoimmunity (CU) and the levels of plasma prothrombin F1+2. Thirty four (CU) patients with positive autologous serum skin test … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,897 accessesView PDF Cite
