Ziziphus nummularia Inhibits Inflammation-Induced Atherogenic Phenotype of Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells by Fardoun, Manal

“…ZNE treatment also caused a concentration- and time-dependent reduction in the TNF-α-induced expression of matrix metalloproteases MMP-2 and MMP-9, NF-κB, and cell adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. Furthermore, ZNE decreased the adhesion of THP-1 monocytes to HASMCs and endothelial cells in a concentration-dependent manner. …”

A Review of Pharmacogenetics of Antimalarials and Associated Clinical Implications by Elewa, Hazem

“…Lumefantrine concentrations were also influenced by ABCB1 variants in the presence of nevirapine. The most critical pharmacogenetic consideration identified was the association of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency with development of hemolytic anemia and decreased hemoglobin levels in patients treated with primaquine or a combination of chlorproguanil-dapsone-artesunate. …”

Novel Electroless Deposited Corrosion - Resistant and Anti-Bacterial NiP-TiNi Nanocomposite Coatings by Fayyad, Eman

“…The addition of TiNi nanoparticles into the NiP matrix led to the transform of the amorphous structure of the as-plated NiP into a semi-crystalline one. The microhardness of the composite coating significantly enhances with increasing TiNi concentration up to 0.4 g L-1 and further improvement takes place after heat treatment. …”

Thermally assisted efficient electrochemical lithium extraction from simulated seawater by Yanxi, Yu

“…Comprehensive material characterization and mechanistic analyses revealed that the improved lithium extraction originates from boosted kinetics rather than thermodynamic equilibrium shifts. A higher temperature (i.e., 60 oC) mitigates the activation polarization of lithium intercalation, decreases charge transfer resistances, and improves lithium diffusion. …”
