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. …”

Application of Fe3O4 magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO2) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions by Elmobarak W.F.

“…Using an MDdose as low as 10 mg/L attained a %ηdem in the range of 93%–94.3% for O/W mixtures with Coil < 2000 mg/L, which slightly decreased to ∼90% for higher concentrations. The reported %Roil (p-value <0.05) was >90 ± 0.1 for tests carried out with pH ≤ 7 and Csur ≤ 0.1 g/L and declined at higher pH and Csur to % 86.5 due to the increase in emulsion stability. …”
