Article Synopsis
  • Zinc sulfide quantum dots were combined with yttrium tungstate nanosheets to create ZnS-YWO nanohybrids, which were tested for their ability to degrade dyes (brilliant blue and methyl red) and the drug doxycycline using UV-visible light.
  • These nanohybrids achieved impressive degradation rates of approximately 89.92% for brilliant blue, 80% for methyl red, and 85.51% for doxycycline, demonstrating their effective photocatalytic properties.
  • Additionally, the ZnS-YWO nanohybrids maintained high catalytic activity over multiple uses, with degradation efficiencies remaining above 70% even after five cycles, highlighting their potential for environmental applications in treating organic pollutants.

A simple sol-gel combustion process was employed for the creation of MFeO (M=Ni, Co) nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles, acting as both photocatalysts and gas sensors, were analyzed using various analytical techniques. MFeO (M=Ni, Co) material improved the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV-light irradiation, serving as an enhanced electron transport medium.

We report herein an efficient visible-light-promoted approach for the regioselective decarboxylative C-H acylation of -methyl-3-phenylquinoxalin-2(1)-ones using α-oxo-2-phenylacetic acids dual palladium-photoredox catalysis. The reactions were carried out at room temperature in the presence of 24 W blue LEDs. The established protocol tolerated a wide range of functional groups and enabled the synthesis of several acylated -methyl-3-phenylquinoxalin-2(1)-ones in good to excellent yields.

Kodo () and little () millet grains were utilized to minimize their antinutrient content (phytate and tannin) and maximize their antioxidant activity (DPPH) by studying the effect of ultrasonication time, germination time and temperature using central composite rotatable design. Results revealed the optimum conditions for producing ultrasonicated and germinated kodo and little millet flour of the highest antioxidant activity and lowest antinutrient content (phytate and tannin) by using 30 min for ultrasonication, 72 h for germination at 40 °C. Further, a second order model was developed to describe and predict the effect of process variables on antioxidant activity and antinutrient contents.

Characterization of Phietavirus Henu 2 in the virome of individuals with acute gastroenteritis.

Virus Genes

June 2023

Laboratório de Diversidade Viral, Instituto de Ciências Biológicais, Universidade Federal do Pará, Belém, Pará, 66075-000, Brazil.

There is a growing interest in phages as potential biotechnological tools in human health owing to the antibacterial activity of these viruses. In this study, we characterized a new member (named PhiV_005_BRA/2016) of the recently identified phage species Phietavirus Henu 2. PhiV_005_BRA/2016 was detected through metagenomic analysis of stool samples of individuals with acute gastroenteritis.

This study aims to describe the therapeutic potential of leaf extracts against diabetes and neurological disorders via the targeting of α-amylase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities, followed by computational molecular docking studies to establish a strong rationale behind the α-amylase and AChE inhibitory potential of leaves-derived secondary metabolites. In our study, the antioxidant activity of the sequentially extracted leaves extract was also investigated, in which the methanolic fraction exhibited the strongest antioxidant potential against DPPH (IC 39.12 ± 0.

The neonatal period - the first 4 weeks of life - is the most critical time for a child's survival. Breathing rate is a vital indicator of the health condition and requires continuous monitoring in case of sickness or preterm birth. Breathing movements can be counted by contact and non-contact methods.

Article Synopsis
  • A study from 2010-2016 analyzed 251 stool samples in rural and low-income urban areas of northern Brazil to assess norovirus prevalence and diversity using next-generation sequencing (NGS).
  • Norovirus was found in 19.9% of the samples, with eight different genotypes identified, the most common being GII.4_Sydney[P31], which accounted for 64% of the infections.
  • The research highlights the genetic diversity of noroviruses, particularly noting distinct variants of GII.6[P7], and emphasizes the need to understand this diversity to gauge potential health risks, especially from the GII.4_Sydney[P31] variant.

Tunneling in a many-body system appears as one of the novel implications of quantum physics, in which particles move in space under an otherwise classically-forbidden potential barrier. Here, we theoretically describe the quantum dynamics of the tunneling phenomenon of a few intricate bosonic clouds in a closed system of a two-dimensional symmetric double-well potential. We examine how the inclusion of the transverse direction, orthogonal to the junction of the double-well, can intervene in the tunneling dynamics of bosonic clouds.

From the viewpoint of meeting the current green chemistry challenges in chemical synthesis, there is a need to disseminate how the cocktail of acylation and activation can play a pivotal role in affording bioactive acylated products comprising substituted ketone motifs in fewer reaction steps, with higher atom-economy and improved selectivity. In recent years, a significant number of articles employing the title compounds "aldehydes" as magnificent acylation surrogates which are less toxic and widely applicable have been published. This review sheds light on the compounds use for selective acylation of arene, heteroarene and alkyl (sp3, sp2 and sp) C-H bonds by proficient utilization of the C-H activation strategy.

Possible activation of NRF2 by Vitamin E/Curcumin against altered thyroid hormone induced oxidative stress via NFĸB/AKT/mTOR/KEAP1 signalling in rat heart.

Sci Rep

May 2019

Redox Biology Laboratory, Department of Zoology, Center of Excellence in Environment and Public Health, Ravenshaw University, Cuttack, 753003, Odisha, India.

Oxidative stress is implicated in both hypo- and hyper-thyroid conditions. In the present study an attempt has been made to elucidate possible interaction between vitamin E or/and curcumin (two established antioxidants) with active portion (redox signaling intervening region) of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) as a mechanism to alleviate oxidative stress in rat heart under altered thyroid states. Fifty Wistar strain rats were divided into two clusters (Cluster A: hypothyroidism; Cluster B: hyperthyroidism).
