Survival of patients with non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma treated with trans-arterial chemoembolization: A multicenter cohort study.

Background And Study Aims: Few studies have considered patients treated with trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for non-viral-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with some reporting that those patients may have larger tumors, emphasizing the need for determination of the factors affecting survival in such patients. This work aims to study the characteristics and survival of patients with non-viral related HCC treated with TACE.

Patients And Methods: This is a multicenter observational study.

Mycosynthesis of chitosan-selenium nanocomposite and its activity as an insecticide against the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis.

The cotton leafworm, Spodoptra littoralis, causes great damage to cotton crops. A new, safer method than insecticide is necessary for its control. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are metalloid nanomaterial, with extensive biological activities.

Coenzyme Q10 Attenuates Kidney Injury Induced by Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles and Cadmium Co-exposure in Rats.

This study examined the possible defensive role of coenzyme Q10 (CQ10) against the impact of cadmium (Cd) and titanium dioxide nanoparticle (TNP) exposure on rat kidneys. Distilled water (1 mL/rat), corn oil (1 mL/rat), 10 mg CQ10/kg b.wt, 50 mg TNP/kg b.

Accurate, affordable, and easy electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid in fresh fruit juices and pharmaceutical samples using an electroactive gelatin sulfonamide.

In this study, we demonstrated how to design and construct a highly specific and sensitive sensor capable of rapidly and accurately detecting ascorbic acid (AA). A sulfonamide derivative (S) acting as a novel monomer was synthesized through an aldol condensation reaction. Subsequently, a free radical-mediated grafting polymerization approach was used to create a new generation of gelatin (Gel) grafted with poly sulfonamide derivative (Gel-g-PS).

Wood biowaste in goatskin preservation to reduce salinity in the tannery wastewater.

A prime technique for paused bacterial degeneration in hide/skin is preservation. The most used and familiar technique for preservation is salt curing. In this research, biowaste (sawdust) is used with a lower salt percentage to preserve goatskin.
