Studying The Effect of The Dielectric Barrier Discharge Non- thermal Plasma on Colon Cancer Cell line

Non-thermal plasma is a future tool for the treatment of cancer, some diseases, and for many medical applications. Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma (DBDP) is a type of plasma that has been used for the treatment of cancers in different researches. In this work (DBDP) was used to evaluate its effect on Colon Cancer Cell-line (CaCo Cell- line), through three doses depending on the time of exposure (40, 60, and 80 sec.). After exposure, the cell-line were cultured for 72 hours and followed by two types of analysis. The first was MTT assay for the determination of cell viability. The second was molecular analysis for two genes associated with cancers; Caspase 9 gene (apoptotic gene) and Bax gene (pro-apoptotic gene) through detection of their proteins. The results of the study proved that the DBD Plasma has a strong killing effect on the cancer cell-line (CaCo), and this effect increased with the time of exposure increased. The study proved also that; the effect of DBDP coming from its effect on the transcription of genes associated with cancer, where the study found that the degree of transcription of Caspase 9 and Bax genes was significantly increased as the result of the exposure. Therefore, the results of this study make us consider that DBD Plasma Device is a promised tool for the treatment of cancer, where the plasma promotes the process of apoptosis in cancer cells

Uses of eye drops in dermatology, literature review

Background: Since medication absorption through the skin and eye tissue seems similar, commercially available eye-drops could be used to treat skin diseases when topical therapies are unavailable or unaffordable. The FDA-approved and off-label applications of various eye drops used as topical treatments in dermatological clinical practice were highlighted in this review. Methodology: A thorough PubMed and Google Scholar library search using various combinations of the keywords (Eye drop, ocular solution, conjunctival installation, and skin diseases, topical, local, beta-blockers, prostaglandin, cyclosporin, apraclonidine, atropine, oxymetazoline). Results and conclusions: Based on the findings of the studies reviewed, timolol is highly recommended for infantile hemangioma and other vascular skin conditions such as angiomas, Kaposi sarcoma, acne, rosacea, and wound healing. Bimatoprost is a drug that can be used to treat hypotrichosis of any kind, as well as mild localized alopecia areata and leukoderma. Oxymetazoline ispromising for treating facial erythema. We recommend apraclonidine for mild upper eyelid ptosis induced botulinum neurotoxin. We don't recommend atropine for hyperhidrosis, although it can help with hydrocystomas and pruritis produced by syringomas. Tobramycin will need to be tested in RCTs before it can be confirmed as a viable alternative to systemic treatments for treating green nail syndrome

Topological Properties of the Recursive Petersen Architecture

Abstract-The Petersen graph is gaining popularity as an interconnection network because of its several interesting properties. The recursive Petersen architecture is very compact and has some very interesting topological properties. In this paper, we study its topological properties in detail. Two labeling schemes are suggested. Basic routing and broadcasting have been discussed. The most attractive features are its logarithmic (to the base 10) diameter and high symmetry
