A novel turn-off green carbon dot-based fluorescent probe for selective determination of nitrazepam in its pharmaceutical dosage form and milk samples.

In this study, a new, rapid, simple, and cost-effective fluorescent probe based on carbon dots (CDs) has been developed for the selective determination of nitrazepam (NZP). The CDs were synthesized with high production yield (71.43%) through one step carbonization of dried banana peels.

Dengue Fever in the Darfur Area, Western Sudan.

We report an outbreak of dengue in Darfur, western Sudan, during September 2014-April 2015. Dengue virus-specific PCR testing of 50 samples from nonmalaria febrile illness case-patients confirmed 35 dengue cases. We detected 7 cases of dengue shock syndrome and 24 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Comparison of Experimental Diabetic Periodontitis Induced by in Mice.

Periodontitis is one of the severe complications in diabetic patients and gingival epithelium plays an initial role on the onset and progression of this disease. However the potential mechanism is yet sufficiently understood. Meanwhile, the research on the correlational experimental animal models was also insufficient.
