Cellulase aided extraction and characteristics of sulfated polysaccharides from Brown seaweed (Turinaria turbinata) by Hammed, Ademola Monsur, Simsek, Senay, Jaswir, Irwandi, Amid, Azura, Alam, Md. Zahangir

“…Aqueous extracts, ethanolic precipitate and supernates of five brown seaweeds; Sargassum duplicatum, Sargassum binderi, Sargassum fulvellum, Padina australis and Turbinaria turbinata, were investigated for inhibition Nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line. All extracts contain high fucose and inhibit NO secretion in a dose dependent manner, precipitate of T. turbinata was highest in percentage yield 20% and dosage of 200g/ml down-regulated >80% NO secretion. …”

Microcredit in China: Recommendations for Policy Makers by Geraci, Michele, Luan, Mengna, Dixon, Chris

“…Our main belief is that while the various initiatives of several NGOs operating on a non-profit basis in China are laudable and successful, even within the limited scope in which they operate, a true development of microcredit in China that can make a real impact on the vast number of mid-low income residents can only occur if a double-bottom-line approach is implemented. That is both serving the social mission of helping poor people and establishing financially viable lending entities. …”
