Deep learning artificial neural network framework to optimize the adsorption capacity of 3-nitrophenol using carbonaceous material obtained from biomass waste.

The presence of toxic chemicals in water, including heavy metals like mercury and lead, organic pollutants such as pesticides, and industrial chemicals from runoff and discharges, poses critical public health and environmental risks leading to severe health issues and ecosystem damage; education plays a crucial role in mitigating these effects by enhancing awareness, promoting sustainable practices, and integrating environmental science into curricula to empower individuals to address and advocate for effective solutions to water pollution. However, the educational transformation should be accompanied with a technical process which can be eventually transferred to society to empower environmental education. In this study, carbonaceous material derived from Haematoxylum campechianum (CM-HC) was utilized for removing 3-nitrophenol (3-Nph) from aqueous solutions.

Effect of ultrasound treatment on the extraction of antioxidants from Kunth fruits and identification of phytochemicals by HPLC-ESI-MS.

The influence of ultrasound-assisted extraction of phytochemicals from Kunth on the antioxidant capacity was investigated. The factors evaluated were: ultrasound extraction time (10, 20 and 30 min), ethanol concentration (0, 35, 70 %) and solid/liquid ratio (1:4, 1:8 and 1:12 g mL). The L (3) array was applied, and the DPPH scavenging capacity of treatments was evaluated to obtain optimal extraction conditions.

Expression of K channels in human cervical cancer: Potential tools for diagnosis and therapy.

Various ion channels, including ATP-sensitive potassium (K) channels, are expressed in cancer and have been suggested as potential tumor markers and therapeutic targets. K channels are composed of at least two types of subunit, an inwardly rectifying K channel (Kir6.x) and a sulfonylurea receptor (SUR).

Ion Channels and Oxidative Stress as a Potential Link for the Diagnosis or Treatment of Liver Diseases.

Oxidative stress results from a disturbed balance between oxidation and antioxidant systems. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) may be either harmful or beneficial to the cells. Ion channels are transmembrane proteins that participate in a large variety of cellular functions and have been implicated in the development of a variety of diseases.

Differential regulation of human Eag1 channel expression by serum and epidermal growth factor in lung and breast cancer cells.

Oncogenic ether à-go-go-1 (Eag1) potassium channels are overexpressed in most primary human solid tumors. Low oxygen and nutrient/growth factor concentrations play critical roles in tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms by which tumor cells survive and proliferate under growth factor-depleted conditions remain elusive.
