Healthy axillary bud and leaf explants were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with BAP/Kn (1.0 - 2.0 mg/l) in combination with IAA/NAA (0.5 mg/l) and AgNO<sub>3</sub> (0.1 - 1.0 mg/l). The explants were responded effectively and good regeneration frequencies were observed in all the combinations of silver nitrate tested when compared to control. Maximum number of multiple shoots (34.3) was found in leaf explants cultured on MS media supplemented with BAP (2.0 mg/l), NAA (0.5 mg/l) and AgNO<sub>3</sub> (0.4 mg/l). These regenerated shoots were sub-cultured on to the flowering media. Maximum number of in vitro flowers (12) was obtained from axillary bud explants in BAP (2.0 mg/l), Kn (1.0 mg/l), IAA (0.5 mg/l) and AgNO<sub>3</sub> (6.0 mg/l) supplemented media when compared to leaf (4) and control. All the in vitro raised shoots were transferred to rooting medium supplemented with NAA, IBA (1.0 - 2.0 mg/l) and AgNO<sub>3</sub> (0.1 - 0.6 mg/l). The best rooting response (24.6) was observed in 2.0 mg/l IBA + 0.4 mg/l AgNO<sub>3</sub>. The well rooted plantlets were transferred to polybags containing soil + vermiculate in 1:1 ratio for hardening and finally the hardened plantlets were transferred to field conditions.展开更多

The effect of various concentrations of kinetin, BAP (0.5 - 3.0 mg/l), and NAA (0.1 - 0.5 mg/l) along with AgNO<sub>3</sub> (0.1 - 1.0 mg/l) was studied. Among the combinations tested MS medium augmented with kinetin (1.0 mg/l), NAA (0.1 mg/l) and AgNO<sub>3</sub> (0.4 mg/l) was found to be optimum for production of multiple shoots (34.3 ± 0.36). Addition of AgNO<sub>3</sub> to the media not only increases shoot number in all the concentrations tested but also shoot length. AgNO<sub>3</sub> at the concentration of 0.4 mg/l produced 35% more number of multiple shoots when compared to multiple shoots (10.8 ± 0.12) produced in control. In the present study by the addition of ethylene inhibitor silver nitrate and growth regulators, more number of multiple shoots (three folds) and shoot length was observed compared to control. These in vitro raised shoots were transferred to the rooting medium containing different concentrations of auxins such as NAA and IAA along with AgNO<sub>3</sub> (0.1 - 0.6 mg/l). Better rooting response (21.6) was observed on NAA (2.0 mg/l) and AgNO<sub>3</sub> (0.4 mg/l) containing media. The healthy rooted plantlets were transferred to polybags containing soil and vermiculate in 1:1 ratio for hardening. Finally the hardened plants were transferred to field environment for utmost survivability.展开更多

In this study, we tested sex expression responses of four watermelon forms(monoecism, gynoecism, andromonoecism,and hermaphrodite) to gibberellin, ethephon and silver nitrate treatments. Results have shown that, in monoecious plants, gibberellins(GA_3)and ethephon treatments reduced the percentage of female flowers and delayed the occurrence of the first female flower, while silver nitrate induced the formation of bisexual flowers. In gynoecious plants, both ethephon and silver nitrate treatments transformed some female flowers into bisexual flowers, and treatment with ethephon resulted in a mass of abnormal flowers, while no obvious effect of treatment with GA_3 was observed. In andromonoecious plants, ethephon and GA_3 treatments delayed the occurrence of the first bisexual flower, and GA_3 reduced the percentage of bisexual flowers, while no distinct effect for silver nitrate treatment was observed. In hermaphroditic plants, ethephon treatment induced the appearance of numerous abnormal flowers, while no obvious effects for GA_3 and silver nitrate treatments were observed.We analyzed the transcription levels of all the expressed aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase(ACS) homologues in two gynoecious mutants and their wild types. We also tested the gene expression of CitACS4 which had been recognized as the andromonoecious gene in all treatments. All these results suggested that the best masculinizing treatment for breeding of the gynoecious line is silver nitrate, which repressed the expression of CitACS4 and induced many bisexual flowers for use in self-fertilization subsequently.展开更多

Of 4185 reflections ((2)max = 55.00?, 3147 were unique (Rint = 0.0174) and 2820 with I > 2(I) were used to solve the structure. The silver(I) atom adopts V-shape geometry with the AgS bond distance of 2.4271(7) and 2.7229(9) , respectively. Seven atoms of one acetylthiocarbamide ligand are coplanar, while only four atoms of another acetylthio-carbamide ligand are fairly planar.

The absorbed dose of γ-irradiation influences the particle diameter of the Ag-NPs, as evidenced from surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. When the γ-irradiation dose was increased (from 2 to 50 kGy), the mean particle size was decreased continuously as a result of γ-induced Ag-NPs fragmentation. The antibacterial properties of the Ag-NPs were tested against Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (Gram-positive) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.a) (Gram-negative) bacteria. This approach reveals that the γ-irradiation-mediated method is a promising simple route for synthesizing highly stable Ag-NPs in aqueous solutions with good antibacterial properties for different applications.展开更多

The SEM shows the shapes, dispersion and agglomeration of the sample, while the EDX confirms the SEM and the presence of some compounds. The FT-IR reveals the AgNP<sub>s</sub> capping and reducing the particular biomolecule from the functional group for identification. Compounds found in the FT-IR seeds of Capsicum annum are Ag L (Silver iodide), C K (Cyanogen chloride), P K (Phenol). Monodora myristica are Mo L (Molybdenum), Ag L (Silver iodide), C K (Cyanogen chloride), P K (Phenol), Mg K (Magnesium). Piper guineense are Ag L (Silver iodide), Ci K (Potassium chloride), C K (Cyanogen chloride), P K (Phenol). The seeds show that the AgNP<sub>S</sub> of CA and MM has a better antioxidant activity than the methanol of CA and MM, while the PG methanol has a better activity than the AgNP<sub>S</sub> PG. The control (Catechin and Galic acid) has a slight overall better DPPH activity than the AgNP<sub>S</sub>. It is important to note that there is a concentration dependency in CA, MM AgNP<sub>S,</sub> PG methanol respectively. Notably, at CA methanol, the conc. at 125 was higher than the conc. at 250. Hence, there is need to create a great part in using plant samples for making tabulated or capsulated drugs for treatment of diseases and using plant silver nanoparticles to develop a healthy food/drug preservative package material “smart packaging” that will enhance shelf-life.展开更多

Materials with multifunctional characteristics have been sought to produce polymeric nanocomposites. In this work, the chemical modification of titanium phosphate (TiP) was carried out through a route with successive intercalations. TiP was synthesized and consecutively pre-expanded with ethylamine and pyromellitic acid. Then it was modified with zinc acetate and silver nitrate. The final product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray diffractometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. Infrared revealed dislocation and appearance of bands according to the intercalating agent. Inorganic salts interfered in the crystallization and melting processes of pyromellitic acid. Vanishing of the TiP hkl plane and variation and appearance of new crystallographic planes at low diffraction angles induced intercalation. SEM showed agglomerated structures. New thermal degradation events at higher temperatures endorsed the formation of zinc and silver carboxylate salts. We concluded that a new miscellaneous and multifunctional matter was achieved.展开更多

Methods: The RNAs were isolated from two pairs of samples, SV40-immortalized human fetal tracheal fibroblast cell (SHTF) versus αSHTF cell (transformed SHTF cell induced by α particles) and lung cancer tissue versus normal lung tissue obtained from one miner, and amplified by RTPCR. The differential expressed gene fragments were displayed by autoradiograph or silver nitrate stain. Results: The differential display mRNA method was established using both cell and tissue samples. The bands stained by silver nitrate were clearer than those on X-ray film. The rate of reamplification of differentially expressed gene fragments stained by silver nitrate is 80%, higher than that by autoradiograph, 50%. Conclusion: Differential display mRNA method was established successfully on both cell and tissue samples. The modified method for staining band increased the rate of reamplification and established the basis for confirming relative genes.展开更多

Here we report the facile growth of silver molybdate nanolmicro rods by mixing the solution of silver nitrate and ammonium molybdate at ambient condition followed by hydrothermal treatment at various temperatures for 12 h. To achieve the goal for the synthesis of long, high yield and homogeneous nanorods various effective parameters have been studied to set the most effective conditions for the growth. Among possible effective parameters first the temperature of the furnace was set by warring the temperature and then at the set temperature the concentration of reactants (NH4)6Mo7O24 and silver nitrate are varied respect to each other. The pH and temperature values were monitored during the mixing of the reactants. Structurallmicrostructural characterization revealed the optimum condition of 150℃ of the furnace and the concentration of (NH4)sMo7O24 and silver nitrate as described in various tables.展开更多

文摘Objective:To estimate the hospital costs of managing anterior epistaxis in the Emergency Department at a Tertiary Care centre in Canada.Material and methods:A cost analysis was conducted based on a retrospective review of Emergency Department visits from January 2012 to May 2014.A consecutive sample of adult patients with a diagnosis of anterior epistaxis was included.Anterior epistaxis was managed via one of:Nasal clip,Merocel(R),Silver Nitrate cautery,Vaseline packing,other treatment or no treatment.Both the direct and indirect hospital costs(SCDN)for anterior epistaxis treatment were calculated from the hospital's perspective.Generalized linear models were used to assess the association between treatment modalities and total hospital costs while controlling for potential confounding factors.Results:Three hundred and fifty-three patients(49%female)with a mean age of(69.9±18.5)years were included in the analysis.The median(interquartile ranges)costs of treatment ranged from CS227.83(CS167.96,CS328.69)for observation to CS763.98(CS632.25,CS830.23)for Merocel(R).The overall median total hospital costs incurred across all modalities was CS566.24(CS459.61,CS753.46)for the management of anterior epistaxis.Silver Nitrate,nasal clip,and observation were statistically associated with a lower cost when compared to Merocel(R)(P<0.001)even after potential confounding factors were controlled.Conclusions:Our results show wide difference in the hospital cost of epistaxis across treatment modalities.These cost estimates can help inform future economic evaluation studies aiming to guide the allocation of health care resources for patients with epistaxis.
