Based on experiments, it is believed that iris color is determined based on four factors: pigment granules in the posterior pigment epithelium, pigment concentration in iris stromal melanocytes, melanin pigments in iris melanocytes, and the scattering and absorption of light from the extracellular matrix properties of the stroma. Becomes. In general, melanocytes in the iris stroma have a greater effect on iris color. These types of cells contain a biopolymeric and inert substance called melanin, which itself has two types: brown-black or Eumelanin and red-yellow or Pheomelanin.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44471988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dendrimers are the most important medical nano-polymers in the fields of chemistry and pharmacology, which have been used in many pharmaceutical applications. Many technical applications of many biological elements such as proteins, viruses, or bacteria, including applications of chromatography, optical information technology, sensors, stimulation and drug delivery, require immobilization or immobilization of these biologicals. Here, carbon nanotubes, gold particles and synthetic polymers can be used for such purposes. Here we note that this immobilization process can be achieved mostly through adsorption or chemical bonding or to a lesser extent by incorporating these elements as guests in the host matrices. We also note that in the case of guest and host systems, an optimal method for immobilizing the bio-elements as well as incorporating them into a serial structure based on the nanoscale must be established to facilitate the interactions of the bio-nano-elements within their own environment. This is due to the large number of synthetic or natural polymers available and the advanced and developed methods for processing such systems for nanofibers, rods or tubes etc., this makes the polymers a good base for immobilizing different biomaterials.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41346349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fracture toughness was measured using Lloyd universal testing machine with cross head speed 2 mm/min. For hardness testing, 20 specimens from both materials were fabricated in a disc-shaped stainless-steel mold (5mm diameter and 2mm height). All specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours. Hardness was measured using Vickers micro hardness tester with 50 g load. The microstructure of both materials was examined using scanning electron microscopy. The results of this study showed there wasn’t significant difference between both materials in fracture toughness. The hardness of ceramic-modified glass ionomer was higher than that of the resin-modified type. The addition of ceramic filler to the glass ionomer didn’t improve its fracture toughness. The microstructure of resin-modified glass ionomer showed tight packing between the matrix and the resin filler, while the ceramic-modified glass ionomer showed separated matrix from the ceramic filler.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47518245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Infectious diseases are accountable for millions of global deaths annually. Therefore, necessary steps need to be taken to reduce this problem. In the present study, crude extracts of leaves, bark and resins of Cedrus deodara in methanol was investigated for secondary metabolites (flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, saponins, tannins, terpenoids) and antibacterial effect of Cedrus deodara was evaluated on multidrug resistant (MDR) strains of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), E. coli (ATCC 8739), Salmonella enterica (ATCC 14028), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) by agar well diffusion method. Ciprofloxacin was used as standard. The methanolic extracts of leaves of C. deodara tested positive for glycosides, flavonoids, phenol, tannins and terpenoids. The Bark was tested positive for glycosides, flavonoids, phenol, tannins but resins was tested positive for terpenoids. Leaves of C. deodara showed zone of inhibition with all the five strains of microorganisms, which were used. C. deodara resin methanolic extract showed maximum zone of inhibition with Bacillus subtilis which are 25 ± 0.1 mm and bark showed maximum zone of inhibition with Staphylococcus aureus 21 ± 0.6 mm. The potency shown by these extracts recommends their use against multidrug resistant microorganisms. Time-kill curve showed a fast and sharp antimicrobial activity. Based on the research experiments, it was identified, that the methanol extract of Cedrus deodara exhibited quite high antimicrobial activity as well as secondary metabolites and this quality together with lots of other values must be considered in green landscape planning of contemporary urban environment and for the other purposes too.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48202339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cancer-causing infections, such as hepatitis and HPV, are responsible for 30% of cancer cases in low- and lower-middle-income countries. It is common for late-stage cancer symptoms to be unavailable for diagnosis and treatment, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Universal treatment is reported to be available in more than 90% of high-income countries, but only less than 15% of low-income countries. In 2019, only 1 in 3 countries reported high-quality data on cancer rates. Cancer is a general term that includes a wide range of diseases that can affect any part of the body. Other terms used are malignant tumors and neoplasms. A hallmark of cancer is the rapid generation of abnormal cells that grow outside their usual boundaries and can then invade neighboring parts of the body and spread to other parts of the body. The last operation is called metastasis, and metastases are the most important cause of death from cancer. Currently, between 30% and 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by avoiding disease risk factors and implementing existing, evidence-based strategies for prevention. The burden of cancer can also be reduced by detecting the disease early and providing patients with adequate treatment and care, knowing that the chances of recovery from many types of cancer increase if they are diagnosed early and treated appropriately.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45847711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
