Resin Essential Oil as Potent Bioinsecticide Against : Chemical Profile, Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition, DFT Calculation and Molecular Docking Analysis.

Plants offer a bountiful source of natural pest control solutions through their essential oils. This research introduces and analyzes an eco-friendly natural essential oil for red flour beetle control. Therefore, the current study was included to show the chemical profile and the insecticidal efficacy of resin essential oil (REO) and its fractions (F), resulting from chromatographic separation, from the plant against adults.

Design of a New Catalyst, Manganese(III) Complex, for the Oxidative Degradation of Azo Dye Molecules in Water Using Hydrogen Peroxide.

In the current work, chloro(-tetrakis(phenyl)porphyrin) manganese(III) [Mn(TPP)Cl] was synthesized following two steps: the preparation of -tetraphenylporphyrin (HTPP) and the insertion of manganese into the free porphyrin HTPP. The compounds were characterized using SEM, FT-IR, UV, TGA/DTA, and XRD analyses. Manganese(III) -porphyrins exhibited hyper-type electronic spectra with a half-vacant metal orbital with symmetry, such as [dπ:dxz and dyz].

Synthesis and characterization of a new meso-tetrakis (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) porphyrinto) zinc(II) supported sodium alginate gel beads for improved adsorption of methylene blue dye.

Chemical modification of a biopolymer offers a simple strategy to realize new materials with added benefits. In this paper, meso-tetrakis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) porphyrinto) zinc(II) supported sodium alginate gel beads were successfully prepared, characterized, and used for the removal of a cationic dye from aqueous solution. The chemical structure of the prepared composite beads was confirmed by FT-IR, SEM, XRD and TGA/DTG techniques.

Homocysteine and inflammatory biomarkers plasma levels, and severity of acute coronary syndrome.

Recently, homocysteine and new inflamatory biomarkers are demonstrated to be involved in cardiovascular diseases. These risk factors are not well studied in acute coronary syndrome. We investigated the distribution of homocysteine and inflammatory markers in patients with acute coronary syndrome and evaluated the association between these parameters and severity of the disease.

Hyperhomocysteinemia, C677T MTHFR polymorphism and ischemic stroke in Tunisian patients.

Background: Hyperhomocysteinaemia has been identified as a strong risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS). A point mutation in methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T) has been associated with increased plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels.

Aim: This preliminary study aimed to investigate whether hyperhomocysteinaemia and/or MTHFR C677T mutation are associated with ischemic stroke.

Homocysteine and markers of inflammation in acute coronary syndrome.

Background: An elevated level of homocysteine (Hcy) has been shown to be a cardiovascular risk factor in the majority of research studies. Recently, it was found to be associated with new risk factors such as inflammatory markers.

Objectives: To investigate the distribution of plasma total Hcy (tHcy) and the levels of inflammatory markers in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to evaluate the association between these parameters and the severity of the disease.

Effect of lipopenic and hypotensive treatment on homocysteine levels in type 2 diabetics.

Aim: Evaluate the effect of lipopenic and hypotensive treatment on homocysteine levels.

Methods: We recruited 145 type 2 diabetics and 130 control subjects. Thirty-seven diabetics had no complications, 54 had microvascular complications and 54 had macrovascular complications.
