Because petroleum-based plastics are not biodegradable, as well as the energy they require in their production, the rising plastic substantially contributes to the depletion of the environment. In contrast to synthetic plastics, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are sustainable and eco-friendly bioplastics. A variety of microorganisms, such as fungi, bacteria, and algae, can be used to entirely synthesize PHAs. Enhanced biodegradability, biocompatibility, as well as other mechano-chemical properties

Mitochondrial porin is a complex channel with many diverse functional properties. Therefore, along with measuring single-channel conductance and selectivity, monitoring VDAC's voltage gating has become the gold standard for assessing mitochondrial porin function. To understand the mechanisms of gating and ion selectivity, the detergent-solubilized porin was incubated with different concentrations of diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC). The extent of the reaction of DEPC with histidine residues

In the study, the level of antibodies to fasciolas in the milk of cows in the Moscow region of Russia was assessed and the relationship between their number and the productive characteristics of these animals was traced. In October 2021, a milk sample was taken from a dairy farm in the Moscow region of Russia, and the number of antibodies to Fasciola hepatica (ODRf) and Ostertagia ostertagi (ODRo) was assessed. Their level was determined using multivariate linear regression models and their rela

Eco-enzymes or Garbage enzymes have emerged as a solution to managing organic wastes. These organic wastes containing carbon compounds are discharged from houses that ultimately end up in landfills. Eco-enzymes or Garbage enzymes are mainly concerned with the enzymes produced from the anaerobic fermentation of fresh vegetables or fruit wastes. The longer the fermentation period, the better its efficiency. This review is carried out with the intention of bringing forth all the enzymes isolated so

The Cichorium plant is considered one of the medicinal plants that have been known since ancient times, as the ancient Egyptians used it 4000 years ago, as they believed in its important role in treating heart and liver diseases. The scientific name of the Cichorium is Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) is a part of the Asteraceae family (the tribe of Lactuceae)., so the current study aims to know the effect of biologically active substances in Cichorium on biochemical changes in obese rats. The exp

Different formulae snacks were extracted using corn grits, parboiled brown rice, defatted soybean, and carrot powder to give four formulae and compared with control snacks made from corn grits to treat diarrhea in mice. The results observed that the Extrusion processing causes an increase in all color values when increasing parboiled brown rice and carrot may be caused by elevated phenolic and flavonoids. In control, the water absorption index (WAI) and water-soluble index (WSI) improved their e

There has been a growing interest in the use of Shilajit powder as an adjuvant for the treatment of various ailments. This study sought to evaluate the preventive and restorative potentials of Shilajit in a model of spleen toxicity induced by mercury chloride in rats and its effects on the MLH1 gene expression. Four groups of twenty male Wistar rats (n =5) were created at random. Group, I was the untreated control group. Group II was given an intraperitoneal (IP) dose of HgCl2 at 1mg/kg body wei

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a challenging problem for medicine to overcome. The renal disorder is frequently misdiagnosed; nevertheless, attempts are being made to enhance the identification and treatment of patients with this comorbidity. The objective of the present study was to assess the prescribing patterns and drug/drug interactions among patients suffering from CKD and renal transplantation. About 300 patients were recruited after following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and th

This article discusses the complexities and various aspects related to the treatment of pregnant women with COVID-19. The experience of Chinese doctors who were the first to face this problem is considered, and a new method of treating the disease using the drug Baricitinib is also considered. Baricitinib is an anti-inflammatory drug, a representative of the Janus kinase class, used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It blocks intracellular signaling pathways, which leads to the regulatio
