TL;DR: Results suggested that AMF can protect cucumber growth from salt stress, with significant reductions in the uptake of deleterious ions like Na+.

TL;DR: Rhododendron and parsley honey showed most prominent results in terms of the amount of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity, while acacia and citrus honey samples showed least antioxidant activity.

TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles synthesized by the reduction of aqueous solutions of silver nitrate with powder and solvent extracts of Padina pavonia exhibited high stability, rapid formation of the biogenic process, small size and variable shapes.

TL;DR: This study showed that C. glomerata dry biomass is a suitable candidate to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: The role of nanotechnology at different levels of the food industry including, packaging of food, processing of food and the various preservation techniques all aiming to increase the shelf life of thefood products are outlined.

TL;DR: The study revealed that the concentration of Cd was higher than the regulatory threshold; therefore, the underground water system is seriously affected by Cd toxicity.

TL;DR: Blue tilapia was experimentally infected with Aeromonas hydrophila, a bacterium that damages the gills, liver, and intestine, resulting in histopathological changes in the infected organs, showing an aggregation of hemocytes with cell necrosis in gills; a massive aggregation of Hemocytes and pyknotic nuclei in the hepatopancreas; and a lower rate of hemocyte aggregation in the digestive system of the infected fish.

TL;DR: Anti-tumor mechanisms of Cordycepin, which regulate signaling pathways related with tumor growth and metastasis, are clarified, which may be one of important supplement or substitute medicine drug for cancer treatment.

TL;DR: Results indicate that Actinobacteria isolated from Egypt farms could be sources of antimicrobial bioactive substances.

TL;DR: The presence of phytochemicals with strong pharmacological actions like antimicrobial and antioxidants activities could be considered as sources of quality raw materials for food and pharmaceutical industries.

TL;DR: Hydroalcoholic extracts of leaves, stems, bark, pulp and seeds of P. cincinnata are potential antimicrobial agents when combined with conventional drugs little utilized in in vivo treatment.

TL;DR: The unique pigmentation properties of black tomatoes can be precisely controlled by standardizing storage conditions and the highest lycopene and chlorophyll levels were observed in mature black tomatoes stored at 12 °C for 13 d; these conditions also yielded the best quality fruit.

TL;DR: Two subjective indices used for the assessment process for the lake water are more suitable and effective for needs of the sustainable water resources protection and management of the Lake Timsah and WQI allows accounting for several water resource uses and can be used effectively as a comprehensive tool for water quality quantification.

TL;DR: This study suggests that the combination of Bacillus pumilus BS-27 and Bacillus subtilis BS-58 provides the natural, persistent and durable potential to enhance the nutritive value of the crop.

TL;DR: The life form and leaf size spectra of plant species of the Thandiani forests, district Abbottabad, were studied during the summer of 2013 to understand the micro climatic variation of the region.

TL;DR: The histopathological study showed that larvae treated with C. copticum extract had cytopathological alterations of the midgut epithelium, and the study provided information on various effects of C.Copticum Extract against Cx.

TL;DR: This review will focus on introducing the functional mechanisms of ginsenosides and their metabolites, which regulate signaling pathways related with tumor growth and metastasis, and structural modification of ginenosides alone or combinations with other Chinese medicines or chemical medicines have recently been developed to be a new therapeutic strategy for cancer.

TL;DR: The present review to highlights the versatile applications of medicinal plants against honey bee pathogen such as fungi, mites, and microsporidia, and promising nonchemical (plant extracts) are innocuous to adult bees.

TL;DR: The present study aimed to isolate and characterize a COD degrading bacteria which can effectively degrade slaughter wastewater and found Bacillus velezensis to be the highest COD degradation strain.

TL;DR: The applied aspect of different medication and hormones, during orthodontic treatment, on the signaling molecules which produce bone remodeling are emphasized.

TL;DR: Evidence is obtained that LINE-1 hypomethylation in cell-free DNA, but not cellular DNA from peripheral blood is an epigenetic biomarker for human aging.

TL;DR: Medicinal plants traditionally used against mastitis are therapeutically active against bacterial pathogens and were found to be potential candidate species for the development of novel veterinary drugs with low cost and fewer side effects.

TL;DR: The cytotoxic, antiplasmodial, and antitrypanosomal activities of two medicinal plants traditionally used in Cameroon were evaluated and indicate that the selected medicinal plants could be further investigated for identifying compounds that may be responsible for the observed activities and that may represent new leads in parasitical drug discovery.

TL;DR: The experimental results shows that the proposed Co-ABC algorithm acquire the accurate classification performance using small number of predictive genes, proving that Co- ABC is a efficient approach for biomarker gene discovery using cancer gene expression profile.

TL;DR: Soil fungal communities were identified using Illumina MiSeq sequencing, applied to soils that consecutively cultured ginseng for six years and new forest soil (NFS), or receiving application of phenolic acids (PAs), and results suggest that the PAs may enhance the fungi richness, decrease the fungi diversity and changed the fungi structure to increase fungal pathogen loads.

TL;DR: The results obtained in the present study very clearly indicated the positive beneficial protective effect of Spirulina, when used as diet, on the safety and protection of liver from injuries caused by toxicants.

TL;DR: This report represents one of the few published clinical experience regarding the chitosan for the treatment of skin lesions among diabetic subjects and results are relevant and promising for the Treatment of this disease.

TL;DR: A new series of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives designed and synthesized via ultrasound irradiation methods with easy work-up and good yields can serve as lead molecules for the development of new classes of antimicrobial and anticoagulant agent.

TL;DR: Exposure to cardamom led to enhance learning and memory retention as compared to control, and monoamines (DA, 5-HT) and GSH were elevated, whereas TBARS was inhibited significantly.
