Photocatalytic treatment to inhibit the growth of skin cancerous cells
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 2017, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
A photocatalytic technique has been applied to study the inhibition of growth of cancerous cell . A suspension of semiconducting carbon (band gap 1.2 eV) in methanol (2 mg/ml in methanol) on administering to C6- Glioma (5 x 106 cells) tumor transplanted in Wistar pups and exposing it with visible light (15 Lux) for 30 min. inhibited the growth of cells while exposure of the cells alone either with light or semiconducting carbon did not show any appreciable inhibition. The mechanism responsible to inhibit of the growth of the cell is discussed. It is proposed that some medical practitioners would adopt this technique to cure skin cancer.

Inflections of Periodicities of Background Photon Spectral Power Densities Are Predicted by the Lorentz Contraction for a Potential Indicator for the Intrinsic Structure of Space
The value for the Lorentz contraction to produce a discrepancy for a hypothetical number that reflects a property (21.34) of sub-matter space was calculated. When applied to time the contraction would be ~35 min. T...
A Study on Formation of Hammer Transfer Stains in a Crime Scene
It is difficult to interpret hammer transfer strain in a crime scene. This paper lies in the argument that proper analysis of hammer transfer stains in crime scene may indicate the possibilities of proper incidence.
