Phytotherapy with : A Randomized Controlled Trial on Infants with Jaundice.

Introduction: Jaundice is one of the most common causes of admission to hospital in newborns which is often associated with several complications.

Aim: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of in reducing jaundice.

Materials And Methods: In this double-blind, randomized controlled trials 70 term infants hospitalized due to jaundice in 2014 were enrolled.

Porous-membrane-protected polyaniline-coated SBA-15 nanocomposite micro-solid-phase extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of parabens in cosmetic products and wastewater.

A SBA-15/polyaniline para-toluenesulfonic acid nanocomposite supported micro-solid-phase extraction procedure has been developed for the extraction of parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben) from wastewater and cosmetic products. The variables of interest in the extraction process were pH of sample, sample and eluent volumes, sorbent amount, salting-out effect, extraction and desorption time, and stirring rate. A Plackett-Burman design was performed for the screening of variables in order to determine the significant variables affecting the extraction efficiency.

Novel modified carbon nanotubes as a selective sorbent for preconcentration and determination of trace copper ions in fruit samples.

In this work, multiwalled carbon nanotubes were reacted with N-[3-(triet-hoxysilyl)propyl]isonicotinamide to prepare pyridine-functionalized carbon nanotubes. This novel sorbent was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermal and elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Functionalized carbon nanotubes were applied for the preconcentration and determination of copper ions using flame atomic absorption spectrometry.

Preparation and characterization of a novel Wells-Dawson heteropolyacid-based magnetic inorganic-organic nanohybrid catalyst H6P2W18O62/pyridino-Fe3O4 for the efficient synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols under solvent-free conditions.

A novel magnetic inorganic-organic nanohybrid material H6P2W18O62/pyridino-Fe3O4 (HPA/TPI-Fe3O4) was fabricated and performed as an efficient, eco-friendly, and highly recyclable catalyst for the solvent-free, one-pot, and multi-component synthesis of various substituted 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols from the reaction of β-naphthol, an aldehyde, and benzamide with good to excellent yields (47-94%) and in a short span of time (25-60 min). The nanohybrid catalyst was prepared by the chemical anchoring of Wells-Dawson heteropolyacid H6P2W18O62 onto the surface of modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles with N-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]isonicotinamide (TPI) linker. The magnetically recoverable catalyst was easily recycled at least eight times without any loss of catalytic activity.
