Antiamoebic properties of ceftriaxone and zinc-oxide-cyclodextrin-conjugated ceftriaxone
(MDPI, 2022)Acanthamoeba castellanii is a ubiquitous free-living amoeba capable of instigating keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis in humans. Treatment remains limited and inconsistent. Accordingly, there is a pressing ... -
Antimicrobial activity of blow spun PLA/gelatin nanofibers containing green synthesized silver nanoparticles against wound ınfection-causing bacteria
(MDPI, 2022)One of the main challenges in wound healing is the wound infection due to various causes, of which moisture is the most important reason. Owing to this fact, wound dressings that can collect wound moisture in addition to ... -
Antioxidant capacity and profiles of phenolic acids in various genotypes of purple wheat
(MDPI, 2022)The total phenolic content, phenolic compositions, and antioxidant capacity in the grain of 40 purple wheat genotypes were studied. In this study, purple wheats were investigated in terms of their composition of free and ... -
The association between early changes in neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and survival in patients treated with immunotherapy
(MDPI, 2022)Dynamic changes in the blood-based biomarkers could be used as a prognostic biomarker in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), although the data are limited. We evaluated the association between the ... -
Association of clinical features with spike glycoprotein mutations in Iranian COVID-19 patients
(MDPI, 2022)Background: Mutations in spike glycoprotein, a critical protein of SARS-CoV-2, could directly impact pathogenicity and virulence. The D614G mutation, a non-synonymous mutation at position 614 of the spike glycoprotein, is ... -
Bifurcation and multiplicity of solutions of the navier-stokes equations in driven semi-elliptical cavity flow
(MDPI, 2022)In this paper, bifurcations in the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations are studied and multiple solutions of the driven semi-elliptical cavity flow are presented. The two-dimensional steady incompressible driven viscous ... -
Bioprinted membranes for corneal tissue engineering: a review
(MDPI, 2022)Corneal transplantation is considered a convenient strategy for various types of corneal disease needs. Even though it has been applied as a suitable solution for most corneal disorders, patients still face several issues ... -
Blood based biomarkers as predictive factors for hyperprogressive disease
(MDPI, 2022)Purpose: With the widespread use of immunotherapy agents, we encounter treatment responses such as hyperprogression disease (HPD) that we have not seen with previous standard chemotherapy and targeted therapies. It is known ... -
Coercivity and exchange bias in ti-doped maghemite nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2022)Ti-doped maghemite nanoparticles of average crystallite size 12.9 nm were synthesized using the sol-gel method. The XRD profile mainly showed the presence of maghemite phase with very small phases of TiO2 (rutile and ... -
A comprehensive evaluation of the attenuation characteristics of some sliding bearing alloys under 0.015–15 meV gamma-ray exposure
(MDPI, 2022)In this study, three different sliding bearing alloy samples were investigated in terms of their performance on attenuation characteristics and behavioral attitudes under 0.015–15 MeV gamma-ray exposure. Accordingly, ... -
Development and in vitro evaluation of biocompatible pla-based trilayer nanofibrous membranes for the delivery of nanoceria: a novel approach for diabetic wound healing
(MDPI, 2021)The attempts to explore and optimize the efficiency of diabetic wound healing’s promotors are still in progress. Incorporation of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) in appropriate nanofibers (NFs) can prolong and maximize ... -
Differential interactome proposes subtype-specific biomarkers and potential therapeutics in renal cell carcinomas
(MDPI, 2021)Abstract: Although many studies have been conducted on single gene therapies in cancer patients, the reality is that tumor arises from different coordinating protein groups. Unveiling perturbations in protein interactome ... -
Early effects of low molecular weight heparin therapy with soft-mist inhaler for COVID-19-induced hypoxemia: a phase iib trial
(MDPI, 2021)In COVID-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome, the lungs are incapable of filling with sufficient air, leading to hypoxemia that results in high mortality among hospitalized patients. In clinical trials, ... -
Editing SOX genes by CRISPR-Cas: current insights and future perspectives
(MDPI, 2021)Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and its associated proteins (Cas) is an adaptive immune system in archaea and most bacteria. By repurposing these systems for use in eukaryote cells, a ... -
Effect of microgravity on the gut microbiota bacterial composition in a hindlimb unloading model
(MDPI, 2022)We utilised a ground-based microgravity hindlimb unloading (HU) mouse model to elucidate the gut microbiota bacterial changes in mice under a simulated microgravity environment. Four-month-old, male C57/Bl6 mice were ... -
Effect of scanned area and operator on the accuracy of dentate arch scans with a single implant
