Alteration in polyamines and enzymes in human breast cancer serum

Polyamines, spermidine and spermine constitute a group of cell components that are important in the regulation of cell proliferation and cell differentiation.The enzyme superoxide dismutase catalyzed the breakdown of superoxide anion (O2-) and provides the first line of defense against oxygen toxicity. This work is an attempt to look for possible biochemical marker and causes of breast cancer based on the above polyamines.The levels of spermine and spermidine and superoxide dismutase levels were measured in serum of two women groups.

PHOTO PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM HYDROGEN SULFIDE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF MONOETHANOLAMINE USING TITANIUM DIOXIDE AS PHOTOCATALYST

        In the present work, the production of hydrogen fuel from photodecomposition of hydrogen sulfide in aqueous solution of monoethanolamine, using titanium dioxide as photocatalyst has been investigated. The influence of various parameters such as the percentage of monoethanolamine, the load of the catalyst, the effect of addition of sensitizer, the effect of addition of an oxidant and the increase of temperature is also studied.  Al photochemical experiments have been carried out in a Pyrex cylinder cell of capacity 35mL.
