Simplex-lattice design and decision tree optimization of endophytic -multi-walled carbon nanotube composite for enhanced methylene blue removal.

This study investigates a novel approach for enhancing methylene blue (MB) removal from water using a composite of endophytic mate and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). For the first time, a unique combination of simplex-lattice design and decision tree learning algorithm was employed to optimize MB removal. This innovative approach effectively identified the optimal composite ratio of hyphal mate (0.

Association between hepatitis C virus genotype 4 and renal cell carcinoma: Molecular and virological studies.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most common infection worldwide. The correlation between HCV and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is still mysterious. Therefore, the relationship between HCV and RCC was investigated.

Perinatal transmission of hepatitis C antigens: envelope 1, envelope 2 and non-structural 4.

Background: Perinatal exposure to hepatitis C virus (HCV) antigens during pregnancy may affect the developing immune system in the fetus. We aimed to study the perinatal transmission of HCV structural and non-structural antigens.

Methods: Sera from 402 pregnant mothers were tested for anti-HCV antibody and HCV RNA.
