Impact of molecular configuration on the photoluminescence and electrical characteristics of poly-pyrrol-thiazol-imine polymers films.

The optical, photoluminescence, and electrical properties of Poly(Z)-PTI and Poly(E)-PTI, two Poly-Pyrrol-Thiazol-Imine polymers with comparable chemical structures but distinct configurations, were examined. Using the dip-casting method, polymer films were deposited on ITO substrates. UV-VIS spectroscopy revealed that both polymers diverged between 500 and 800 nm, showing the impact of molecular arrangement, but showed similar absorption behavior for wavelengths shorter than 500 nm.

Biobran-loaded core/shell nanofibrous scaffold: a promising wound dressing candidate.

This research examined the effectiveness of Biobran as a bioactive substance that could potentially improve wound healing. It also looked at how Biobran affects the properties of a nanofibrous scaffold made through coaxial electrospinning. This is the first study exploring the use of Biobran in this context and its interaction with nanofibrous scaffolds.

Microwave-assisted of new derivatives of polyimine conjugated polymer based on Schiff base: synthesis, characterization, and photo-physical properties as a photoluminescent materials.

The condensation of pyrrole-2,5-dicarbaldehyde (1) with 5-(2-amino-4-phenylthiazol-5-yl)-4-phenylthiazol-2-amine (2) and/or 5-(4-Amino-phenyl)-4-phenylthiazol-2-amine (3) gave new poly(Z)-N-((5-(iminomethyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene)-5-(2-((E)-(5-(iminomethyl)-I-pyrrol-2-yl)methyleneamino)-4-phenylthiazol-5-yl)-4-phenylthiaol-2-amine (P1) and/or poly(E)-N-((5-(iminomethyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene)-5-(4-((E)-(5-(iminomethyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methyleneamino)phenyl)-4-phenylthiaol-2-amine (P2) as a novel conjugated polymer by microwave irradiation and traditional heating.. It is evident that the microwave irradiation technique quickly raised the molecular weight of polyimines.

The difference in multifidus muscle morphology and motor control in non-specific low back pain with clinical lumbar instability and healthy subjects: A case-control study.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) with clinical lumbar instability (CLI) is considered a subgroup of back pain. Poor core stability function and/or lack of motor controls are thought to play a role in inappropriate inter-segmental movements and pain. There is no study investigating the changes in the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM) morphology and motor control in this subgroup of patients.

The use of whey protein concentrate in management of chronic hepatitis C virus - a pilot study.

Introduction: Whey protein contains biologically active ingredients that can prevent and attenuate disease besides being nutritive. The aim of the study was to clarify the effects of oral administration of whey protein on viral load and host defence mechanisms, in particular, phagocytic function of neutrophils, selected immunomodulatory cytokines and serum inflammatory markers, in compensated chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients.

Material And Methods: Twenty-seven HCV patients (20 males and 7 females) recruited from the hepatology clinic of the Theodor Bilharz Research Institute (TBRI) were given whey protein concentrate (WPC) twice daily for two months.
