Abstract The majority of the so-called heavy metals are suspected to be involved in a number pathologies and play role human carcinogenesis. Some them (i.e. arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) nickel (Ni)) have been defined as carcinogens, increasing susceptibility tumor development progression humans. Moreover, Ni, Cr, Cd, Hg, Pb together with zinc (Zn) iron (Fe), may capable stimulating breast cancer reducing patient’s sensitivity treatment through alterations DNA methylation. In patients gastric cancers, levels various augmented hypothesized amplify expression epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 gene. Cd increase risk lung negative impact on overall survival patients. To investigate relation between biological samples risk, occurrence individuals, comprehensive review work was performed, focus breast, lung, prostate cancers. An extensive search strategy devised ensure relevant literature could identified, PECO framework being adopted facilitate this identify key terms. As evidenced review, there is substantial data support hypothesis that influence progression. Unluckily papers dealing determination directly from tissues still rather limited, so we decided expand scope also analyses carried out other samples, urine, plasma, hair, nail, etc. studies reviewed showed several limitations current knowledge gaps present require further investigation improve our comprehension different tumorigenesis.

Abstract The significance of biomedical applications Ti alloys is best emphasized by their widespread utilization as implantable materials, such internal supports and bone replacements. are sensitive to fretting wear, which leads the early failure implants. Improved wear resistance implants essential ensure a prolonged implant life. Based on structure‐function‐integrated concept, this work unprecedentedly designs fabricates an antibacterial 8SiC/Ti‐3Cu composite with improved using microwave sintering from pure Ti, Cu, nano‐SiC powders. For comparison, SiC‐free Ti‐3Cu manufactured under same conditions sintering. addition 8 vol.% SiC significantly reduces porosity pore size composites. shows Vickers hardness 353 HV, compressive strength 803 MPa, elastic modulus 28.7 GPa, increased (wear rate decreased 70% compared Ti‐3Cu). In addition, exhibits excellent electrochemical corrosion resistance, biocompatibility in relation MC3T3‐E1 cells, bacteriostatic over 99% against E. coli . combination wear‐resistant nano‐reinforced 2 Cu renders it highly promising material.

In recent years, environmental and food safety have garnered substantial focus due to their intimate connection with human health. Numerous biosensors been developed for identifying deleterious compounds; however, these reveal certain limitations. Nanopore sensors, featuring nano-scaled pore size, demonstrated outstanding performance in terms of rapidity, sensitivity, selectivity as a single-molecule technique surveillance. this review, we present comprehensive overview nanopore applications two fields. To elucidate the pioneering roles nanopores, analytes are categorized into three distinct groups, including metal ions, synthetic contaminants, biotoxins. Moreover, variety strategies involved, such coalescence ligand probes, implementation chemical reactions, functionalization etc. These scientific studies showcase versatility diversity technique, paving way further developments technology safety.

Abstract Selenium is a beneficial element in agriculture, particularly for its potential to improve plant growth and stress tolerance at suitable concentrations. In this study, Phaseolus vulgaris was foliar-sprayed with selenium selenate (Se) or nanoparticles (SeNP) different concentrations during the vegetative stage; afterward, seed yield analyzed metabolomics using 1 H, J -resolved HSQC NMR data, databases. A total of 47 metabolites were identified sugars being major chemical class. control sample, most abundant sugar stachyose (14.6 ± 0.8 mM). Among alkaloids, concentration trigonelline highest (0.6 0.08 Chemometric cluster analyses distinctly differentiated from Se SeNP-treated samples. Treatments SeNP resulted elevated sugars, carboxylic acids, sulfur-containing amino acids compared treated Conversely, betaine levels higher The presence significantly decreased several aliphatic e.g. alanine. addition 50 µM upregulated syringate by 2-fold 1.75-fold, respectively, relative control. Pathway analysis indicated altered pathways due arginine biosynthesis nitrogen metabolism. influenced glyoxylate dicarboxylate metabolism as well glycine-serine threonine This study proved that are more efficient than enhancing metabolic profile which will have implications agricultural practices, focusing on sustainability nutritional enhancement crops.

The Strobilanthes cordifolia plant, a member of the Acanthaceae family, has been extensively studied due to its wide range biological properties. This particular research focused on green synthesis FeNPs/CuNPs and evaluated effectiveness experiment through various characterization techniques, including UV, FTIR, XRD, SEM with EDAX. UV analysis provided valuable insights, showing that synthesized nanoparticles had highest absorption values at 462nm for FeNPs 438nm CuNPs. FTIR confirmed presence different functional groups, while XRD measurements validated their crystalline nature. data revealed diverse shapes nanoparticles, rods spherical shapes. Additionally, EDAX Fe Cu elements in biosynthesized nanoparticles. antibacterial activity CuNPs against Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli showed significant inhibition. Moreover, demonstrated strong antioxidant activity, as evidenced by effective inhibition DPPH ABTS assays.
