Influence of the Loading with Newly Green Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized Using on the Antibacterial Activity and Surface Hardness of a Composite Resin.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity and surface hardness of a light-activated microhybrid composite resin modified with green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). AgNPs were synthesized using an extract and characterized through different methods such as UV-Vis, EDX, and FTIR. The obtained AgNPs were mixed with a microhybrid composite resin (Herculite XRV, Kerr Corp.

The Effects of Extracts on IgA Nephropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

As time passed, (PF) became a promising therapeutic option for CRD. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to outline the therapeutic effects of PF extracts on various models of immunoglobulin a (IgA) nephropathy; (2) Methods: Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases were used to find relevant studies.

In Vitro Antioxidant, Antitumor and Photocatalytic Activities of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Species: A Green Approach.

The ethanolic extracts of three species ( Ehrh., L. and Ehrh.

Neuroprotective and Antioxidant Enhancing Properties of Selective Extracts.

The sterile stems belonging to the species are often used in traditional medicine of various nations, including Romanians. They are highly efficient in treating urinary tract infections, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory tract infections, and medical skin conditions due to their content of polyphenolic derivatives that have been isolated. In this regard, this study aimed to provide the chemical composition of the extracts obtained from the species (, , ) and to investigate the biological action in vitro and in vivo.
