Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Properties of Resveratrol in Diabetic Nephropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Animal Studies.

Accumulated experimental evidence suggests that resveratrol may have an effect on diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting inflammation and decreasing oxidative stress. However, the credibility of the evidence for this practice is unclear. Thus, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of animal studies to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of resveratrol when used in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Wet chemical synthesis and magnetic properties of single crystal Co nanochains with surface amorphous passivation Co layers.

: In this study, for the first time, high-yield chain-like one-dimensional (1D) Co nanostructures without any impurity have been produced by means of a solution dispersion approach under permanent-magnet. Size, morphology, component, and structure of the as-made samples have been confirmed by several techniques, and nanochains (NCs) with diameter of approximately 60 nm consisting of single-crystalline Co and amorphous Co-capped layer (about 3 nm) have been materialized. The as-synthesized Co samples do not include any other adulterants.

Low-Temperature Preparation of Superparamagnetic CoFe(2)O(4) Microspheres with High Saturation Magnetization.

Based on a low-temperature route, monodispersed CoFe(2)O(4) microspheres (MSs) were fabricated through aggregation of primary nanoparticles. The microstructural and magnetic characteristics of the as-prepared MSs were characterized by X-ray diffraction/photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning/transmitting electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results indicate that the diameters of CoFe(2)O(4) MSs with narrow size distribution can be tuned from over 200 to ~330 nm.
