Mitigating effect of Avicenna marina on indomethacin induced gastric ulcer in male albino rats
In this study, the protective effect of oral administration of Avicenna marina extract against oxidative gastric mucosal injury induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), indomethacin in rats was investigated. The aqueous extract of Avicenna marina was given by oral gavages (125 mg /kg) three times at 12 h intervals before administering indomethacin (20 mg/kg). The level of prostaglandin (PGE2) and pH gradient were markedly decreased following indomethacin treatment, with increase in acid volume. In addition, tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and the lipid peroxida...

A facile one-pot synthesis and characterization of Ag2Se nanoparticles at low temperature
Publication date: Available online 10 February 2016 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): Delele Worku Ayele A facile one-pot synthesis method has been developed successfully for the preparation of crystalline silver selenide (Ag2Se) nanoparticles at low temperatures (5–7 °C) within few minutes. The method is based on the formation of phase separation and interface-reaction mechanism. During the synthesis, a microemulsion system (water/oleic acid/n-hexane) was used to make Ag2Se nanoparticles. Selenium source (Sodium selenosulfate) used in this synthesis method was prepared by microwav...

Effect of soil disinfection with chemical and biological methods on bacterial communities
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2016 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): Md Rokunuzzaman, Ayumi Hayakawa, Shinzo Yamane, Sota Tanaka, Kouhei Ohnishi Little is known about the effect of soil disinfection on bacterial communities. Soils were treated with an effective chemical fumigant chloropicrin and biofumigant mustard greens (Brassica juncea). While mustard greens did not affect the soil bacterial community structures very much, chloropicrin greatly reduced soil biomass and bacterial species richness. Chloropicrin also influenced the bacterial community structure, ...
