Application of PLA/GO/ZnO and PLA/GO/CuO as sensor.

Polylactic acid modified with graphene oxide (PLA/GO) is proposed to interact with ZnO through 6 different schemes. Density functional theory at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level was utilized to calculate total dipole moment (TDM), HOMO/LUMO energy gap (ΔE) and to map the molecular electrostatic potential (MESP). Results indicated that PLA/GO interacted with ZnO through O-atom forming PLA/GO/OZn composite.

Association of ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis and liver cirrhosis in a young male.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis, are chronic autoimmune conditions characterized by inflammation of the digestive system. The exact cause of IBD is unknown, but they often start during adolescence or early adulthood with symptoms such as urgency, rectal bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal pain and tenesmus. Primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis are recognized as co-occurring conditions associated with ulcerative colitis.

Copper oxide nanoparticles: an effective suppression tool against bacterial leaf blight of rice and its impacts on plants.
