High-Rate Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge by Integration of Electro-Fenton Process by Feki, Emna

“…Following EF pretreatment, the pH, conductivity, soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), and volatile fatty acids (VFA) increased to 7.5, 13.72 mS/cm, 4.1 g/L, and 925 mg/L, respectively. Capillary suction time (CST) analysis highlighted the dewaterability effect of EF on WAS, as demonstrated by the decrease in CST from 429 to 180 s following 30 min of pretreatment. …”

Association between Insulin and Nitric Oxide in Human Retinal Microvascular Endothelial Cells in vitro by Rizk, Nasser Moustafa

“…In conclusion, this study demonstrated that Hyperglycemia causes an increase in ROS/oxidative stress and apoptosis, while insulin promotes a significant decrease in ROS and apoptosis, eNOS mediated NO production increases with hyperglycemia but remarkably decreases with insulin treatment after 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours, insulin could counteract the hyperglycemic effect on AKT/pI3 kinase which mediates NO production and VEGF-A, decreased adhesion molecules p-selectin involved in barrier disorder of retinal endothelial cells. …”

25-Hydroxyvitamin D serum levels inversely correlate to disease severity and serum C-reactive protein levels in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa by Moltrasio, Chiara

“…Vitamin D exerts functions in skin physiology by modulating keratinocyte proliferation and different immunoregulatory processes.1 In several dermatoses, vitamin D correlates to disease severity and is significantly lower if compared to healthy subjects.2 Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by painful suppurating lesions mainly localized in the folds.3 Kelly et al.4 conducted the first study assessing vitamin D status in HS, concluding that 75% of patients had vitamin D levels of less than 50 nmol/L compared to 40% of the general population. …”
