Objective The present study was conducted to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of curcumin nanoparticles (CUR NP) against the neurotoxicity induced by cisplatin (CP) in rat. Material and methods: Rats were divided into control group that received saline solution; CP-treated rats that received a single i.p. injection of CP (12 mg/kg) and CP-treated rats that received a single i.p injection of CP (12 mg /kg) followed by a daily oral administration of CUR NP (50 mg/kg) for 14 days. At the end of the

school courses taught me the foundations of science‚ they failed to teach me what science means. At SSTP‚ I abided in a laboratory investigating the application of nanoparticles as an intra-articular delivery method for osteoarthritis curing drugs. The experiments I conducted focused to create smaller and less polydisperse nanoparticles‚ in order to increase penetration through porous cartilage. My SSTP experience had tremendous impacts on me: I learned how much creative problem solving scientific

Carbon-based materials and graphite nanoparticles in particular in general enhance electronic‚ optical‚ thermal and mechanical properties of polymer matrixes [6-11]. To synthesize electroconductive composites graphite nanoparticles were used as filler material in many insulating polymers‚ for example epoxy‚ polystyrene‚ poly(methyl methacrylate)‚ thermoplastic polyurethane and many

medicine was in the early nineties. Silver Nano crystals were developed and used as an ant-microbial agent in healing infections (Nanotech in Med. silver coatings). Another use is in burn treatment. The burn dressing applied to burns is loaded with nanoparticle sized antibiotics that are released when encountering a foreign organism (Nanotech in Med.) Another positive use for preventative care is the use of “Buckyballs”. Buckyballs are an accidental discovery made by Richard Smalley in the early 1980s;

In our search for prosperity‚ growth and success‚ we are destroying the system that we as human are completely dependent upon. Population growth‚ water-intensive agriculture and economic development are using water faster than it can be replenished. Our Earth is a place where beauty exists‚ a place where 6.6 billion people and 15 million other species live‚ a place filled with 1.4 cubic kilometers of water. Although 70% of the planet’s surface is blanketed with deep oceans water‚ freshwater only

Findings of several studies have shown different therapeutic potentials associated with Cucumis melo Linn. Roots‚ stems‚ leaves‚ fruits‚ kernel‚ fruit pulp‚ seeds‚ flowers or the whole plant itself have many medicinal properties (Milind and Kulwant‚ 2011). Seed kernel of Cucumis melo L. has shown therapeutic effect against infections associates with genitourinary tract. This is shown in a review on medicinal herbs in the treatment of renal disorders in Pakistan (Ullah et al.‚ 2015). It showed that

values of the thermophoresis parameter enhances the velocity‚ temperature and concentration fields of the flow. This is due to the imbalanced ratio of the heat capacity of nanoparticles and base fluids. In fact‚ as the thermophoresis increases‚ nanoparticles eject themselves from the wall‚ which leads to increase in the nanoparticle volume fraction. It is also noticed that the temperature field of Oldroyd-B fluid is highly influenced due to variation in the thermophoresis
