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

“…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. …”

Novel electroless deposited corrosion — resistant and anti-bacterial NiP–TiNi nanocomposite coatings by Fayyad E.M.

“…Below and above this concentration as well as after the heat treatment, the improvement in the corrosion protection of the composite coatings slightly decreases. Besides, the NiP–TiNi NCCs have effective antibacterial properties as the cell viability of Escherichia coli decreases from 100 to 19%.…”

Selection of Bacillus spp. with decontamination potential on multiple Fusarium mycotoxins by Zahoor Ul, Hassan

“…Bacillus cereus BC344-2, Bacillus cereus BC399-2, Bacillus simplex BS350-3 and Paenibacillus favisporus PF341, showed significant biodegrading capacity on T-2 toxin, leading to 72, 70, 71 and 88% decontamination, respectively. Complete degradation (100%) of ZEN was observed at a contamination level of 0.375 μg/ml in LB, while showing a decreasing trend of degradation (87 and 84%) at increasing levels of mycotoxins (0.750 and 1.50 μg/ml LB medium, respectively). …”
