Abstract In this study, the Polyamide-12 (PA-12) powdered material in the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) process has been incorporated as the filler in the composite material to enhance its properties. The PA-12 powder has been made into a form of filament and is primarily used in the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) process. The PA-12 has been used with epoxy resin and glass fiber with different proportions. The characterization of materials, including the validation of the presence of PA-12 filler with epoxy, has been evidenced using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Thermogravimetric More >

Abstract Luteolin, which is found in plant foods, has a range of therapeutic applications. In order to examine the potential roles of luteolin in ovarian teratocarcinoma, the human ovarian teratocarcinoma cell line PA-1 was selected for functional experiments in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that luteolin inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of PA-1 cells in vitro. The flow cytometry results suggested that luteolin induced apoptosis of PA-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Immunofluorescence and qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) was decreased in luteolin-treated cells, whereas the expression of Bcl-2- More >
