Synthesis, characterization, and antimicrobial properties of novel double layer nanocomposite electrospun fibers for wound dressing applications
(
Dove Press
, 2017 , Article)
Herein, novel hybrid nanomaterials were developed for wound dressing applications with antimicrobial properties. Electrospinning was used to fabricate a double layer nanocomposite nanofibrous mat consisting of an upper ...
Unusual product from the acid-catalyzed one-pot, multicomponent reaction of thiocarbohydrazide, aldehydes, and phenacyl bromides
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2017 , Article)
A one-pot, three-component protocol for the synthesis of novel five-membered thiazole ring bonded to two hydrazone motifs is described. The acid-catalyzed reaction of one equivalent of thiocarbohydrazide, two equivalents ...

(
Hindawi
, 2017 , Article)
Sestrin2 (SESN2), a highly conserved stress-inducible metabolic protein, is known to repress reactive oxygen species (ROS) and provide cytoprotection against various noxious stimuli including genotoxic and oxidative stress, ...
Chronic probiotic supplementation with or without glutamine does not influence the eHsp72 response to a multi-day ultra-endurance exercise event.
(
NRC Research Press
, 2017 , Article)
Probiotic and glutamine supplementation increases tissue Hsp72, but their influence on extracellular Hsp72 (eHsp72) has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic probiotic ...

Herein, we discuss improper test utilization practices and their
implications on delivery of health care, as well as providing a brief
explanation of the means to reduce such practices by improvement of
personnel factors, ...
Hypoxic Air Inhalation and Ischemia Interventions Both Elicit Preconditioning Which Attenuate Subsequent Cellular Stress In vivo Following Blood Flow Occlusion and Reperfusion.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2017 , Article)
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is valid technique which elicits reductions in femoral blood flow occlusion mediated reperfusion stress (oxidative stress, Hsp gene transcripts) within the systemic blood circulation and/or ...
