The efficacy and safety of 2- μm continuous laser in the treatment of high-risk patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia
AbstractTwo-micrometer laser resection of prostate-tangerine technique dissects whole prostatic lobes off the surgical capsular, similar to peeling a tangerine. The present study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2- μm continuous laser vaporization in the treatment of high-risk patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) during the 24-month follow-up. The study included 248 patients with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms who underwent 2-μm continuous laser vaporization of the prostate. All patients were accompanied with different degree comorbidities and 94 patients were taking oral anticoag...

Enhancement of UVC-light treatment of tangerine and grapefruit juices through ultrasonic atomization
The objective of the study was to combine shortwave ultraviolet irradiation (UVC-Light) with ultrasonic atomization (UA) to generate microdroplets by atomizing the juices to enhance contact with UVC-Light and to evaluate its effect on the inactivation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well as on selected physicochemical parameters of tangerine and grapefruit juices. UVC lamps and an ultrasonic atomizer were used individually and in combination. The effect of lamps' orientation (horizontal or vertical) and the number of lamps (1 or 2) were assessed. No significant (p >0.05) changes on pH, °Bx, and color of studied juic...

[Long-term outcome after endoscopic enucleation of the prostate : From monopolar enucleation to HoLEP and from HoLEP to EEP].
CONCLUSION: Various transurethral EEP can be considered as equally safe and effective anatomical enucleation techniques. All displayed EEPs match the durability of OP. The choice of energy source for EEP seems to be secondary and a function of resources and personal preference of the skilled surgeon.

Converting citrus wastes into value added products: Economical and environment-friendly approaches
Citrus includes oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, tangerines and mandarins; are one of the most widely cultivated fruits across the globe. Its production is increasing every year due to increasing consumer demand. Citrus processing industries generate huge amounts of wastes every year and citrus peel waste alone accounts for almost 50% of the wet fruit mass. Citrus wastes are of immense economic value as it contains abundant amounts of various flavonoids, carotenoids, dietary fiber, sugars, polyphenols, essential oils, ascorbic acid and considerable amounts of some trace elements.

Characterization of Citrus-Associated < i > Alternaria < /i > Species in Mediterranean Areas
by Francesca Garganese, Leonardo Schena, Ilenia Siciliano, Maria Isabella Prigigallo, Davide Spadaro, Anna De Grassi, Antonio Ippolito, Simona Marianna SanzaniAlternaria brown spot is one of the most important diseases of tangerines and their hybrids worldwide. Recently, outbreaks in Mediterranean areas related to susceptible cultivars, refocused attention on the disease. Twenty representatives were selected from a collection of 180 isolates ofAlternaria spp. from citrus leaves and fruit. They were characterized along with reference strains ofAlternaria spp. Micro- and macroscopic characteristics separated mostAlternaria i...

Water purification using different waste fruit cortexes for the removal of heavy metals
Publication date: September 2016 Source:Journal of Taibah University for Science, Volume 10, Issue 5 Author(s): Khairia M. Al-Qahtani The use of different cortex fruit wastes, including banana, kiwi and tangerine peels, for removing toxic and heavy element Cd+2, Cr+3 and Zn+2 ions from aqueous solutions has been previously investigated. The ground material was powdered in a mortar and passed through a screen to obtain two different particle sizes, 1 and 2mm, for all of the powders. In preliminary experiments using kiwi cortex, material with a 1-mm particle size showed a higher retention capability (up to 10–16% of Cd+...

Rapid Detection of ACTG- and AK-Toxins in Alternaria alternata by LC-ESI-MS/MS Analysis and Antifungal Properties of Citrus Compounds
A methanol-soluble fraction of the dichloromethane extract from the culture broth of A. alternata AT4303 strain afforded the following five known mycotoxins: alternariol, alternariol monomethyl ether, altenusin, altenuene and altertoxin I. A hexane-soluble fraction of the dichloromethane extract yielded the steroids ergosterol and ergosterol peroxide, and alternariol monomethyl ether. The concentrated ethyl acetate extract afforded the nucleoside uridine, uracil and inosine. The micro-extracts obtained from this strain in solid media were analyzed using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry...

Effects of grafting on key photosynthetic enzymes and gene expression in the citrus cultivar Huangguogan.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of grafting Huangguogan plants onto trifoliate orange, tangerine, and orange on: 1) the concentration of Rubisco and RCA; 2) the mRNA levels of rbcL, rbcS, and rca; and 3) fruit quality. Overall, the results showed that when Huangguogan plants budded on tangerine and orange, they had better fruit quality, while on trifoliate orange they had higher Rubisco concentration. Tangerine and orange are probably the most suitable rootstocks for Huangguogan plants given the environmental conditions of Sichuan Province, China.
