Abstract The present study was aimed to identify the indigenous fungal strains which could possibly be applied biore-mediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil. contaminated soil samples Korangi Industrial Estate Karachi were found have total concentration Cu 1.044 mgL 1 , and Pb 0.631 –1 . A eight fungus isolated screened for bioremediation capacity from metals-contaminated For Lead (Pb) these same used biological remediation. All with enhanced capability through phenotypic genotypical characterization. topology phylograms established that isolates in this allocated to: K1 ( Penicillium notatum ), K2 Aspergillus parasiticus K3 fumigatus K4 flavus K5 terries K6 Fusarium solani K7 chrysogenum K8 niger K9 piceum ) K10 restrictum ). Thus, isolate more efficient maximum capacity, copper lead removal efficiency, selected FTIR SEM find out uptake functional groups are involved, further detect effects bioleaching both metals on surface biomass. current indicates high potency remediate or clean up either by technique situ ex-situ bioremediation.

Cancer is one of the leading causes human death among all major diseases. Metal-based complexes are considered as most promising vital part in existing arsenal cytotoxic candidates used cancer therapy and diagnostics. The efforts many scientific groups resulted development numerous metal-based compounds featuring different biologically active organic ligands order to modulate their bioactivity. Along with main representatives potential therapeutic agents, such Pt(II)/Pt(IV), Pd(II), Ru(II)/Ru(III), Ag(I), Au(I)/Au(III), Ti(IV), V(IV) Ga(III), other transition metal lanthanide possessing antiproliferative activity widely discussed literature. However, drugs remain outside scope this review. purpose current study review group metal- metalloid-based against common cell types, carcinomas (lung, liver, breast, kidney, gastric, colorectal, bladder, ovarian, cervical, prostate, etc.); sarcomas; blastomas; lymphomas; multiple myeloma; melanoma. Overcoming long disregard organometallic metals metalloids from groups, a growing number emerging anticancer agents remarkably prove field offers an extensive variety new options for design innovative unexplored chemopharmaceutics. Moreover, some these elements can exhibit entirely different, specific modes action biological targets. Obviously, exploitation distinct properties deserves more attention.

With the progression in field of bioinorganic chemistry, role transition metal complexes as most widely used therapeutics is becoming a more and attractive research area. The metals possess great variety pharmacological properties, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-infective, etc., activities. Transition have proven to be potential alternatives biologically active organic compounds, especially antitumor agents. performance coordination compounds living systems anticipated differ generally from action non-metal-containing drugs may offer unique diagnostic and/or therapeutic opportunities. In this review, rapid development application metallocenes elements Groups 4 7 cancer diagnostics therapy been summarized. Most heavy discussed current review are newly discovered metals. That why use their metal-based has attracted lot attention concerning organometallic chemistry. All imposes systematic studies on biological activity, biocompatibility, toxicity presupposes further investigations.

Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a key cereal in the global economy, providing essential nutrients for human and animal health. The European Union promotes less intensive farming systems as part of its sustainable development strategy. This study aimed to evaluate impact different on concentration macronutrients-potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium (K, P, Mg, Ca)- micronutrients-iron, zinc, manganese, copper (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu)-in grain, well effect grain processing distribution these bran, flour, bread. included four spring cultivars (Harenda, Kandela, Mandaryna, Serenada) grown under organic (ORG), integrated (INT), conventional (CONV) at Osiny Experimental Station (Poland; 51°27' N; 22°2' E) between 2019 2021. P was determined using colorimetric method, while other were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). from CONV system exhibited higher macronutrients concentrations, whereas had micronutrients except Fe.

Recent studies have explored surface texturing as strategy to enhance tribological performance. This study aims evaluate impact textured ceramic surfaces with dimples on friction reduction in ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) prostheses. Materials Methods: Three-dimensional models without were created. Contact pressure was analyzed volume estimated using Archard’s law. Simulations conducted finite element methods (FEM) under various loading conditions. Results: Numerical simulations demonstrated that rate dimpled femoral head 0.2369 mm3/year, compared 0.286 mm3/year smooth counterpart, highlighting 17.2%.
