Targeted elimination of molybdenum ions from a leaching solution with the ability of radiated grafting GMA-PAN nanofibers.

In this study, electrospun polyacrylonitrile nanofibers were effectively functionalized for enhanced molybdenum ion adsorption through a multi-step approach. Initially, glycidyl methacrylate was grafted onto the nanofibers via irradiation-induced grafting polymerization, followed by chemical modification with various amino groups, with triethylamine identified as the optimal modifier. The impacts of key synthesis parameters and reaction conditions on grafting level and adsorption capacity were thoroughly investigated, with a focus on achieving maximum efficiency.

Pathotypic and Phylogenetic Study of Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli and Uropathogenic E. coli Using Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction.

Background: Acute diarrheal disease and urinary tract infection are leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) has been identified as a major etiologic agent of diarrhea worldwide, and urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is one of the most common bacterial infections among human beings. Quick and precise detection of these bacteria help provide more effective intervention and management of infection.

Marginal Microleakage of Conventional Fissure Sealants and Self-Adhering Flowable Composite as Fissure Sealant in Permanent Teeth.

Objectives: Application of sealants is a safe and effective way to prevent occlusal caries in the posterior teeth. A successful sealant therapy depends on good isolation. Decreased steps of adhesive application may enable proper isolation and use of self-adhering flowable composites for sealant therapy.

Direct immunomodulatory influence of IFN-β on human astrocytoma cells.

Astrocytes actively play a pivotal role in inflammatory disease intensity of central nervous system especially multiple sclerosis (MS). Although IFN-β is a selective therapy for MS but the role of IFN-β in stimulating the astrocytes to produce cytokines is not clearly revealed. Therefore, it is encouraging to assess the modulatory role of IFN-β on astrocytes of brain tissue.
