Antichronic Gastric Ulcer Effect of Zinc-Baicalin Complex on the Acetic Acid-Induced Chronic Gastric Ulcer Rat Model by Hui Yang, Yi Lu, Xiao-Feng Zeng, Ling Li, Rong-Ping Zhang, Zhong-Kun Ren, Xu Liu

“…BA-Zn (6.5 and 13 mg/kg) exerted a greater antiulcerogenic effect than both BA and zinc-gluconate, leading to a reduced ulcer index (18.43 ± 1.11, 15.00 ± 1.44), decreased MDA content (1.33 ± 0.07, 0.63 ± 0.01), and increased SOD activity (17.62 ± 0.11, 20.12 ± 0.32) and GSH-Px levels (102.12 ± 9.11, 120.25 ± 9.07). In addition, our results from Western blot suggested that BA-Zn (6.5 and 13 mg/kg) has a greater antiulcerogenic effect than both BA and zinc-gluconate. …”

Screening fungi for use as biocatalysts in self-healing concrete with protocol simulating concrete environment by Ahsanul Kabir Sumon, Krutika Invally, Lu-Kwang Ju

“…The objective of this work was to develop an effective and innovative screening protocol that mimics not only the concrete-relevant pH and temperature but also the essential process/scenario of MESHC, that is, microbial spores remain dormant through the harsh conditions during concrete mixing and curing and germinate later at the less harsh condition (pH 9–11, ambient temperature) in concrete cracks. The protocol includes 4 steps with increasing complexity to reduce strains for time-consuming steps. …”
