Melatonin is known as an important regulator of circadian rhythm in humans. In the literature, there are no studies evaluating the efficacy of melatonin in the management of allergic rhinitis (AR) or nasal polyps (Np). Np tissue was taken from nasal cavity and mucosal tissue (Mu) was taken from the nasal septal area. Melatonin (25-200nM) and Mite Allergen (2.5-12.5%) were prepared in complete media. Cell viability, apoptosis, intracellular reactive oxygen species production and gene expression levels were determined. Our results showed that there is no toxic effect of Melatonin, Mite and their combination which was given to Np-MSCs and Mu-MSCs. Melatonin significantly reduced reactive oxygen species levels in both mite-treated Np-MSCs and Mu-MSCs. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase level was significantly decreased in melatonin-treated cells. Cyclooxygenase-1 level was significantly decreased in melatonin-treated healthy and allergic Np-MSCs while there was no significant difference in 100 and 150nM Melatonin-treated Mu-MSCs. Interestingly, 50nM Melatonin significantly increased Cyclooxygenase-1 level in Mu-MSCs. 50, 100 and 150nm Melatonin significantly decreased Interleukin-6 level in Mite-treated Np-MSCs. In addition, 100 and 150nM Melatonin significantly decreased Interleukin-6 level in Mite-treated Mu-MSCs. Melatonin has well-established anti-oxidant and anti-neoplastic activity, could be a promising therapeutic agent in the treatment of AR and nasal polyposis.

Vitamin C, an antioxidant, is abundant in oranges (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck), which are consumed worldwide. It has treated constipation, diarrhea, upper respiratory illnesses, obesity, menstruation issues, hypertension, and stress. Traditional medicine worldwide uses myrtle (Myrtus communis L.). Clinical and experimental studies show that the plant has a wide range of pharmacological and therapeutic activities, including antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, pulmonary and skin diseases, dysentery, vomiting, rheumatism, sinusitis, leucorrhoea, and hair loss control. These plants contain flavonoids, terpenes, steroids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, volatile chemicals, carotenoids, and nutritional components. Plant antioxidants have gained popularity due to their health benefits. Many studies focused on medicinal organic antioxidants. The main goal of this research was to investigate the volatile components and antioxidant capacities of the essential oils of myrtle and orange, both of which are commonly utilized for medicinal purposes in the Adana region. Myrtle and orange extracts demonstrated substantial antioxidant properties when tested with the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, a test based on the scavenging of the DPPH radical. It has been revealed that myrtle essential oil has a higher capacity in terms of antioxidant activity than orange essential oil.

Lipases are mainly applied in the food, abluent and medicine industries. Through the high production costs of lipase enzymes for industrial applications, cheap and eco-friendly enzyme production has gained great importance in recent years. Yeasts can produce lipase enzyme and grow in acidic media. In the present study, the act of Cu2+, Ni2+ and molasses concentrations on the enzyme activity of Candida yeasts were investigated in a batch system. The maximum enzyme activities of microorganisms were determined at pH:4. Lipase enzyme activity was investigated changing metal ion and molasses sucrose concentrations by 25-250 mg/L and 1-20 g/L respectively. When molasses sucrose concentration was increased, the enzyme activity of all yeasts increased to 10 g/L, and the lipase enzyme activity decreased at the higher molasses concentrations. Enzyme activity of yeasts decreased with increasing both metal ion concentrations at constant molasses sucrose concentrations. Ni2+ cations were more inhibited to enzyme activity of all yeasts than Cu2+. Among the yeasts, Candida membranefeciens (936.96 U/L) showed the highest enzyme activity in media containing a constant molasses concentration of 10 g/L.

In this study, the adsorption isotherm models for the sorption of carminic acid on P(AAm-ClAETA) hydrogels are explained by experimental and theoretical studies. The crosslinked hydrogels with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate were prepared by radical addition reaction of acrylamide (AAm) and 2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium chloride (ClAETA) monomers in an aqueous solution. The spectral and morphological analyses of P(AAm-ClAETA) hydrogels were performed by FTIR/ATR and SEM, respectively. The adsorbed amounts of carminic acid on P(AAm-ClAETA) hydrogels were evaluated by Giles, Langmuir, and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. Langmuir parameters were calculated for the adsorption of the dye on the hydrogels according to the L-type Giles isotherm. In addition, it was determined that its adsorption was appropriate from the RL values calculated for 500 mg L-1 carminic acid concentration. In addition, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) mapping was performed to predict the reactive sites of P(AAm-ClAETA) hydrogels and carminic acid. The results showed that the theoretical and experimental data of the hydrogels were in agreement with each other. As a result, it can be said that P(AAm-ClAETA) hydrogels are suitable for the removal of anionic dyes such as carminic acid from aqueous solutions.

This study presents an analytical solution to the one-dimensional advection-dispersion equation (ADE) for a semi-infinite heterogeneous aquifer system with space and time-dependent groundwater velocity and dispersion coefficient. The dispersion coefficient is assumed to be proportional to the groundwater flow velocity. In addition, retardation factor, first-order decay and zero-order production terms are also considered. Contaminants and porous media are assumed to be chemically inert. Initially, it is assumed that some uniformly distributed solutes are already present in the aquifer domain. The input point source is considered uniformly continuous and increasing nature in a semi-infinite porous medium. The solutions are obtained analytically using the Laplace Integral Transform Technique (LITT). The nature of the concentration profile of the resulting solution for different parameters in different time domains is illustrated graphically.

This study investigated the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of methanol extracts from five lichen species: Polycauliona candelaria (Syn. Xanthoria candelaria), Nephromopsis chlorophylla (Syn. Cetraria chlorophylla), Circinaria calcarea (Syn. Aspicilia calcarea), Bryoria capillaris (Syn. Alectoria cana), and Peltigera canina (Syn. Dermatodea canina). Antimicrobial activities were determined using the agar disc diffusion method, while minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined using the micro-well dilution method. Among the lichen species, methanol extract of Circinaria calcarea exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity, with a 15 mm zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. It also demonstrated the lowest MIC value (31.25 μg/mL) against Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium perfringens and Escherichia coli were the most sensitive microorganisms to lichens. Various antioxidant determination methods were employed to assess the antioxidant activities of the lichens, including ferric ion (Fe+3) reduction capacity, cupric ion (Cu+2) reduction capacity, ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), DPPH radical scavenging activity, DMPD radical scavenging activity and metal chelating activity using the bipyridyl reagent. All lichens exhibited excellent antioxidant activity, particularly in metal chelating activity using the bipyridyl reagent. Peltigera canina demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity among the studied lichen species across most of the applied method.

Iron is one of the widely used metals in industry. For that reason, the prevention of the corrosion of such metals via new designed inhibitor systems is among the interest of corrosion scientists. In the present paper, we investigated the corrosion inhibition performance of 2-((1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) methoxy) benzaldehyde (A), 4-((1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) methoxy) benzaldehyde (B), 4-((4-nitrophenoxy) methyl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (C), 4-methyl-7-((1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) methoxy)-2H-chromen-2-one (D) against iron corrosion. For the mentioned inhibitor systems, important reactivity descriptors like frontier orbital energies, chemical potential, electronegativity, hardness, softness, polarizability, dipole moment, back-donation energy, electrophilicity, electroaccepting power and electrodonating power were calculated and discussed. Calculations were repeated using various methods and basis sets in different phases. The chemical reactivities of the inhibitors were predicted in the light of well-known electronic structure rules like Maximum Hardness and Minimum Polarizability Principles. The obtained data showed that the best corrosion inhibitor among them is molecule D while the most stable molecule is molecule C. The theoretical data support the experimental observations.

In this study, we consider 3-D MagnetoHydroDynamic (MHD) flow problems with different configurations which are mathematically expressed by system of coupled partial differential equation with coupled boundary conditions. These equations are solved numerically using one of the most popular schemes named as the finite element method (FEM) with SUPG type stabilized version in order to obtain accurate and stable solutions especially for the high values of the problem parameters. Obtained numerical solutions are visualized in terms of figures by taking the 2-D slices of the 3-D data in order to emphasize the accuracy of the proposed formulation.

In this study, the seasonal metal pollution of sediment samples taken from twelve distinct notes of the Karacaören II Dam Lake was examined. The quantity of metal in soil samples was determined using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The geoaccumulation index and enrichment factor expressions were created using the metal concentrations found in the sediments. Seasonal values at the local, state, and international levels were compared to the findings. The ratios of the elements copper, zinc, lead, arsenic, nickel, chromium, and mercury, measured in parts per million (ppm), were found to be 42-96, 53-78, 11-14, 4-7, 233-244, and 611-711, respectively. There is also discussion of the sediments' elemental composition and degree of pollution. In contrast, it was found that the Urbach energy increased from 0.246 eV to 0.630 eV with increasing levels of V2O5. These synthetic glasses' densities and molar volumes were also investigated and discussed.

The quantity of metal in soil samples was determined using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The geoaccumulation index and enrichment factor expressions were created using the metal concentrations found in the sediments. Seasonal values at the local, state, and international levels were compared to the findings. The ratios of the elements copper, zinc, lead, arsenic, nickel, chromium, and mercury, measured in parts per million (ppm), were found to be 42-96, 53-78, 11-14, 4-7, 233-244, and 611-711, respectively. There is also discussion of the sediments' elemental composition and degree of pollution. In contrast, it was found that the Urbach energy increased from 0.246 eV to 0.630 eV with increasing levels of V2O5. These synthetic glasses' densities and molar volumes were also investigated and discussed.","PeriodicalId":10906,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Science Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135133134","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}
