Ideal mu-Opioid Receptor regarding Cancer malignancy Remedy.
The objective of the current in-vitro study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of a new type of CAD/CAM scaffold for bone tissue engineering by using human cells. Porous lightweight titanium scaffolds and Bio-Oss® scaffolds as well as their eluates were used for incubation with human osteoblasts, fibroblasts and osteosarcoma cells. The cell viability was assessed by using fluorescein diazo-acetate propidium iodide staining. Cell proliferation and metabolism was examined by using MTT-, WST-Test and BrdU-ELISA tests. Scanning electron microscope was used for investigation of the cell adhesion behaviour. The number of devitalised cells in all treatment groups did not significantly deviate from the control group. According to MTT and WST results, the number of metabolically active cells was decreased by the eluates of both test groups with a more pronounced impact of the eluate from Bio-Oss®. The proliferation of the cells was inhibited by the addition of the eluates. Both scaffolds showed a partial surface coverage after 1 week and an extensive to complete coverage after 3 weeks. The CAD/CAM titanium scaffolds showed favourable biocompatibility compared to Bio-Oss® scaffolds in vitro. The opportunity of a defect-specific design and rapid prototyping by selective laser melting are relevant advantages in the field of bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.The authors tested the efficacy of two salt nanoparticles (NPs), namely, copper dioxide (CuO) and tri-calcium phosphate [Ca3(PO4)2] to induce resistance in green bean pods against grey mould and white rot diseases caused by Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, respectively. High amounts of phytoalexins, kievitone, coumestrol, phaseollidin, 6-ά-hydroxyphaseollin, and phaseollin, were detected in naturally infected and artificially inoculated green bean pods in response to the tested NPs. Green bean plants treated in the field with CuO and Ca3(PO4)2 NPs had the highest mRNA quantity of all the studied defence genes, receptor-like kinase (PvRK20), pathogenesis-related protein (PR1), 1,3-β-D-glucanase (pvgluc), polygalacturonase inhibitor protein (PvGIP), and alpha-dioxygenase (a-DOX) than that of the control group. Mycophenolic order CuO NPs followed by Ca3(PO4)2 NPs at 0.15 mg ml-1 were the most potent in increasing the transcriptomic levels of pk20, DOX, PR1, PvGIP, and pvgluc. Field applications of both chemical elicitor NPs exhibited a non-genotoxic effect on the Paulista green bean DNA using eight ISSR primers. The field application of the studied NPs could effectively extend the shelf life of green bean pods by up to 21 days at 7 ± 1°C during marketing and export due to its potent effect against grey mould and white rot diseases.This study reports an insightful portable vector network analyser (VNA)-based measurement technique for quick and selective detection of Hg2+ ions in nanomolar (nM) range using homocysteine (HCys)-functionalised quartz-crystal-microbalance (QCM) with cross-linked-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDCA). The excessive exposure to mercury can cause damage to many human organs, such as the brain, lungs, stomach, and kidneys, etc. Hence, the authors have proposed a portable experimental platform capable of achieving the detection in 20-30 min with a limit of detection (LOD) 0.1 ppb (0.498 nM) and a better dynamic range (0.498 nM-6.74 mM), which perfectly describes its excellent performance over other reported techniques. The detection time for various laboratory-based techniques is generally 12-24 h. The proposed method used the benefits of thin-film, nanoparticles (NPs), and QCM-based technology to overcome the limitation of NPs-based technique and have LOD of 0.1 ppb (0.1 μg/l) for selective Hg2+ ions detection which is many times less than the World Health Organization limit of 6 μg/l. The main advantage of the proposed QCM-based platform is its portability, excellent repeatability, millilitre sample volume requirement, and easy process flow, which makes it suitable as an early warning system for selective detection of mercury ions without any costly measuring instruments.Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are commonly used in biosensors of various kinds. However, its application to extract DNA from cancer tissues has not been extensively studied. The purification of DNA from cancer tissues is an important step in diagnostic and therapeutic development. Almost, all cervical cancer cases are associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection. Accurate viral diagnosis has so far relied on the extraction of adequate amounts of DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. Till now, no specific and sensitive DNA purification method has been introduced for the extraction of HR-HPV from FFPE tissue. Since the commercially available purification kits are not sensitive and specific enough for HR-HPV DNA targets, in this study, a DNA purification method was designed based on AuNPs to purify sufficient amounts of HR-HPV DNA from cervical cancer tissue samples. AuNPs were coated with a series of oligonucleotide probes to hybridize to specific DNA sequences of HR-HPV genotypes. Results showed that 733 out of 800 copies of type-specific HPV DNA were recovered with complete specificity, compared to 36 copies with a standard commercial kit (Qiagen FFPE). The high yield of DNA (91.6%) is the main advantage of the AuNPs-probe purification method.Wound healing has long been recognised as a major clinical challenge for which stablishing more effective wound therapies is necessary. The generation of metallic nanocomposites using biological compounds is emerging as a new promising strategy for this purpose. In this study, four metallic nanoparticles (NPs) with propolis extract (Ext) and one without propolis including ZnO/Ext, ZnO/Ag/Ext, ZnO/CuO/Ext, ZnO/Ag/CuO/Ext and ZnO/W were prepared by microwave method and assessed for their wound healing activity on excision experimental model of wounds in rats. The developed nanocomposites have been characterised by physico-chemical methods such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyses. The wounded animals treated with the NPs/Ext in five groups for 18 days. Every 6 days, for measuring wound closure rate, three samples of each group were examined for histopathological analysis.
