In this work, a visible-light-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform was developed based on BiOI nanoflowers/TiO2 nanotubes (BiOI NFs/TiO2 NTs) for detection of atrazine (ATZ). The BiOI NFs/TiO2 NTs p-n heterojunctions synthesized by decorating BiOI NFs on TiO2 NTs via simple hydrothermal approach exhibit strong visible-light…[Read more]

Different bone-modifying agents like bisphosphonates and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL)-inhibitors are used as supportive treatment in men with prostate cancer and bone metastases to prevent skeletal-related events (SREs). SREs such as pathologic fractures, spinal cord compression, surgery and radiotherapy to the bone,…[Read more]

Apoptotic cells were detected in thymus sections of both male and female offspring prenatally exposed to DEHP. Relative heart weights increased in BPA + HD-D exposed male offspring compared to the other groups. The results indicate that a mixture of BPA and DEHP, produced a pronounced effect on pregnancy outcomes. Male offspring appear to be more…[Read more]

The non-carcinogenic risk of Pb was found in the three urban parks studied, for children and Hg in two urban parks. Pb and Ni showed no carcinogenic risk. Even so, the high non-carcinogenic risk of Hg and Pb showed that the contamination of the past and the present are found in the urban parks of Rio Grande city, putting the health of children who…[Read more]

Pulmonary arterial compliance is a measure of the pulsatile afterload of the right ventricle. Lower pulmonary arterial compliance is associated with reduced right ventricular function and worse prognosis in pulmonary hypertension. The effect of pulmonary vasodilators on pulmonary arterial compliance has not been evaluated in detail in pulmonary…[Read more]

However, we conducted only RNA-seq analysis, and no confirmation of significant up-regulation or down-regulation has been conducted. These results suggest that these genes were up-regulated for induction of the offensive phenotype and down-regulated for induction of the defensive phenotype. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that possible gene…[Read more]

GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that GGQLD had anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and immunomodulatory effects. The effect of GGQLD on UC might be achieved by regulating the balance of cytokines (e.g., IL-6, TNF, IL-1β, CXCL8, CCL2) in the immune system and inflammation-related pathways, such as the IL-17 pathway and the Th17 cell…[Read more]
