Oleaginous fungi: a promising source of biofuels and nutraceuticals with enhanced lipid production strategies.

Oleaginous fungi have attracted a great deal of interest for their potency to accumulate high amounts of lipids (more than 20% of biomass dry weight) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which have a variety of industrial and biological applications. Lipids of plant and animal origin are related to some restrictions and thus lead to attention towards oleaginous microorganisms as reliable substitute resources. Lipids are traditionally biosynthesized intra-cellularly and involved in the building structure of a variety of cellular compartments.

Antifungal activity of copper oxide nanoparticles derived from Zizyphus spina leaf extract against Fusarium root rot disease in tomato plants.

Incorporating green chemistry concepts into nanotechnology is an important focus area in nanoscience. The demand for green metal oxide nanoparticle production has grown in recent years. The beneficial effects of using nanoparticles in agriculture have already been established.

The difference in leg lengths following total knee replacement for patients with severe osteoarthritic deformity.

Purpose: Increased height after total knee replacement surgery (TKR) may offer patients higher satisfaction as well as the quality of life. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to document the changes in leg length after TKR in patients with severe bilateral deformities.

Methods: The data of 61 patients were collected from the Egyptian Community Arthroplasty Register; of them, 21 patients had unilateral TKR while 40 had bilateral simultaneous TKR.

Lignin-Loaded Carbon Nanoparticles as a Promising Control Agent against in Maize: Physiological and Biochemical Analyses.

Lignin, a naturally occurring biopolymer, is produced primarily as a waste product by the pulp and paper industries and burned to produce electricity. Lignin-based nano- and microcarriers found in plants are promising biodegradable drug delivery platforms. Here, we highlight a few characteristics of a potential antifungal nanocomposite consisting of carbon nanoparticles (C-NPs) with a defined size and shape containing lignin nanoparticles (L-NPs).

Chitosan-Decorated Copper Oxide Nanocomposite: Investigation of Its Antifungal Activity against Tomato Gray Mold Caused by .

Owing to the remarkable antimicrobial potential of these materials, research into the possible use of nanomaterials as alternatives to fungicides in sustainable agriculture is increasingly progressing. Here, we investigated the potential antifungal properties of chitosan-decorated copper oxide nanocomposite (CH@CuO NPs) to control gray mold diseases of tomato caused by throughout in vitro and in vivo trials. The nanocomposite CH@CuO NPs were chemically prepared, and size and shape were determined using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM).

Antifungal activity of eco-safe nanoemulsions based on oil against infecting maize seeds: Biochemical and physiological traits.

The main goals of the present investigation were to develop O/W nanoemulsion fungicides based on cold-pressed (black seed) oil to prevent infection of maize seeds and to test their antifungal activity against this fungus. Additionally, the effect of these nanoemulsions on plant physiological parameters was also investigated. Two nonionic surfactants namely Tween 20 and Tween 80 were used as emulsifying agents in these formulations.

Resveratrol biosynthesis, optimization, induction, bio-transformation and bio-degradation in mycoendophytes.

Resveratrol (3,4,5-trihydroxystilbene) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic stilbene compound produced by certain plant species in response to biotic and abiotic factors. Resveratrol has sparked a lot of interest due to its unique structure and approved therapeutic properties for the prevention and treatment of many diseases such as neurological disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, inflammation, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Over the last few decades, many studies have focused on the production of resveratrol from various natural sources and the optimization of large-scale production.

Synthesis of novel pyrroles and fused pyrroles as antifungal and antibacterial agents.

Pyrroles and its fused forms possess antimicrobial activities, they can easily interact with biomolecules of living systems. A series of substituted pyrroles, and its fused pyrimidines and triazines forms have been synthesised, all newly synthesised compound structures were confirmed by spectroscopic analysis. Generally, the compounds inhibited growth of some important human pathogens, the best effect was given by: on Gram-positive bacteria and was higher on yeast (s), by on Gram-negative bacteria and by on filamentous fungi and ).

Post-operative hip centre restoration and migration after impaction bone grafting in revision and complex primary hip arthroplasty.

Introduction/objectives: Although impaction grafting proved efficacy in the reconstruction of acetabular defects in primary and revision hip arthroplasty, its role in large segmental defects is still debatable. Our objective is to determine hip centre restoration and last follow-up migration after acetabular reconstruction with impaction grafting in different types of acetabular defects.

Methods: This is a single-centre retrospective radiographic study of (107) total hip arthroplasty (42 primary and 65 revision) in (104) patients using impaction grafting.
