Diabetic wound healing function of PCL/cellulose acetate nanofiber engineered with chitosan/cerium oxide nanoparticles.

The use of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) in diabetic wound repair substances has shown promising results. Therefore, the study was conducted to introduce a novel nano-based wound dressing containing chitosan nanoparticles encapsulated with green synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles using Thymus vulgaris extract (CeO-CSNPs). The physical properties and structure of the nanoparticles were analyzed using XRD, DLS, FESEM and FTIR techniques.

Development of Novel Electrospun Fibers Based on Cyclic Olefin Polymer.

For the first time, a systematic study to investigate the electrospinnability of cyclic olefin polymer (COP) was performed. Different solvents and mixtures were tested together with different electrospinning parameters and post-treatment types to prepare bead-free fibers without defects. These were successfully obtained using a chloroform/chlorobenzene (40/60 wt.

Reaction of Commercial Cultivars of Kiwifruit to Infection by Root-knot Nematode and Its Biocontrol Using Endophytic Bacteria.

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) cause considerable economic losses to kiwifruit production annually. Screening of resistant cultivars has been one of the long-standing methods to manage root-knot nematodes. Here, the reaction of the four most common commercial cultivars of kiwifruit, namely, var.

Synthesis and characterization of SnO NPs for photodegradation of eriochrome black-T using response surface methodology.

The domestic and industrial sewage contains an extensive range of various organic compounds. Due to the toxicity of these materials, their degradation is considered one of the great environmental challenges. To address this problem, SnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized via a green route, and they were used as an efficient catalyst for the degradation of an organic dye.

Quorum-quenching endophytic bacteria inhibit disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae in Citrus cultivars.

Two strains of 64 endophytic bacteria, Bacillus cereus Si-Ps1 and Pseudomonas azotoformans La-Pot3-3, isolated from Citrus sinensis and C. sinensis var. Thomson's leaves, respectively, reduced N-acyl homoserine-based quorum sensing in bioindicator strain Pseudomonas syringae pv.

A green approach to synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using jujube fruit extract and their application in photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a green method in the presence of jujube fruit extract as a reducing agent and a stabilizer. The characteristics of the NPs were determined by various analyses, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results suggest that high quality ZnO NPs in terms of size distribution and morphology were synthesized.

The Effect of Citrus Essential Oils and Their Constituents on Growth of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri.

Citrus bacterial canker (CBC) caused by subsp. (), is the most devastating of the citrus diseases worldwide. During our study, we found that Essential oils (EOs) of some citrus cultivars are effective on .
