TL;DR: This study provides an overview of the key features of inherent properties of chitosan, their modification, and its use in biomedical engineering particularly toward anti-inflammatory and wound healing.

TL;DR: The nature and stability of ECmiRNAs along with their release mechanisms are discussed, and the possible function of these ECmi RNAs in distant cell-to-cell communication and the difficulties the authors may face during ECmiRNA research are summarized.

TL;DR: In this review, different studies of the clinical trials are reported on the patients with tumor and the therapy associated with it and successful therapy method in combination with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy is provided to the cancer patient which proved to be beneficial to the patients.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed available article on general aspects of Sub-acute ruminal acidosis and its consequence in dairy cattle by focusing on past and recent article and helping to update the current knowledge for early recognition and limit the associated negative impact in dairy industry.

TL;DR: Chlorella vulgaris was isolated from sewerage treatment plant and grown in the presence of sodium bicarbonate as carbon source at 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0% specific growth rate.

TL;DR: In this article, the presence of two trace elements in water and sediments, as well as in fish tissues (gills, kidney, liver and muscle) of three food fish species, Etroplus suratensis, Anabas testudineus and Channa striata during cultivating and non-cultivating seasons of the year was assessed.

TL;DR: This review emphasized on the structural composition of extracellular polysaccharide of different rhizobia isolated from different legume plants as the signaling molecules essential for determining host plant specificity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the distribution of brucellosis in different regions of Ethiopia and its prevalence among different livestock hosts and discussed the risk factors for the occurrence of Brucellosis.

TL;DR: A novel marine bacterium Bacillus simplex having promising biosurfactant production was isolated from a petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated coastal sea sediment samples of Nagapattinam fishing harbor, Tamil Nadu, India, and proved its cheaper production of novel biosurFactant and its promising oil recovering efficiency even at hypersaline conditions.

TL;DR: Traditional Siddha medical practitioner and remarkable medicinal plant knowledge and uses were documented and molecular docking study found that luteolin is an effective inhibitor for the inhibition of HBV when compared to commercial drugs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used thermobalancing therapy (TT) to the projection of affected prostate to remove hypothermia at the capillary level that improves blood circulation in the organ and its function.

TL;DR: It is found that muscle strength (as measured by hand grip strength) was associated with improved reaction time and is one way of obtaining useful information for the development of nerve-muscle coordination.

TL;DR: In this article, the determination of 4-nonylphenols using HPLC with fluorescence detection method was performed using a liquid-liquid extraction and the applied concentrated range was over 5-1000 µmg/mL for the 4-non-phenols and the recovery test ranged from 78.5 to 89.9% with relative standard deviations between 1.0 and 7.0 µg/L.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the physical properties of the fluid-structure interaction of the coffee cup; in particular, the frequency spectrum of each oscillating component is examined methodically, and revealed that the cup's oscillation is not monochromatic: harmonic modes exist, and their proportions are significant.

TL;DR: In this article, three types of vegetable oils namely, groundnut oil, coconut oil and palm kernel oil were investigated for their clearing ability in wood histology and the results showed that sections of wood that were about 20μm were prepared and cleared in each of the oils.

TL;DR: Feeding methods and habits of brown bear in Sikhote-Alin are varied and specific for each type of feeding behavior depending on the composition and condition of food.

TL;DR: It is suggested that aqueous extract and isolated flavone compound of A. alata exert significant therapeutic effect on CCl 4 induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

TL;DR: It was found that Korean pine seedlings grow in a competitive environment on the fresh burned site; hence the mycorrhization occurs from specialized symbiotes that provide competitive advantages and adaptation to stress factors.

TL;DR: In this article, Trichophyton soudanense and trichophytophyton mentagrophyte were isolated from the rice mill environment, cultured, and used singly and as co-culture in the treatment of measure quantities of pre-heated rice husk.

TL;DR: PLD2 is a promising therapeutic target in combating metastasis of cancers of fibrous connective tissues thanks to its role in bleb formation via the PA-LPAR-Rho-ROCK signalling pathway.

TL;DR: The gene of tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase, which was discovered in mammals, has been widely found in marine mollusk Littorina sitkana, and high conservation of this gene indicates the functional importance of TPST in the metabolism of the living world.

TL;DR: Ecological (habitat) groups and size classes' ratios were different for the insects consumed by badger and those caught in pitfall traps, which should be taken into account in studies where predators' food remains are the main (or the only) source of information about the insect fauna.
