Background/aims: The naturally occurring phenolic chemical curcumin (CUR), which was derived from the Curcuma longa plant, has a variety of biological actions, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. Curcumin is known for its restricted bioavailability due to its hydrophobicity, poor intestinal absorption, and quick metabolism. To boost the biological effects of these bioactive molecules, it is necessary to raise both their bioavailability and their solubility in water.

- * Real-world data shows that many patients continue to experience controlled disease activity for several years after the initial treatment, even though the official guidance does not extend beyond this period.
- * A group of expert neurologists provides recommendations on how to start and switch to CladT, manage treatment during the first two years, and handle ongoing care in later years to optimize treatment benefits and limit MS progression.
Guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) is a semi-arid shrub, native from the Chihuahan desert. This plant produces polyisoprene and resin. Polyisoprene is the main focal point of many researches, from structure to properties.

The title compound, (C3H12N2)2[AlF6][AlF4(H2O)2]·4H2O, was obtained by a solvothermal method in ethanol as solvent and with aluminium hydroxide, HF and 1,3-di-amino-propane as educts. The asymmetric unit contains a quarter each of two crystallographically independent propane-1,3-di-ammonium dicat-ions, [AlF6](3-) and [AlF4(H2O)2](-) anions and four water mol-ecules. The cations, anions and three of the independent water mol-ecules are situated on special positions mm, while the fourth water mol-ecule is disordered about a mirror plane.

Materials And Methods: Segments of arteries and veins harvested from multiorgan donors were divided into 3 groups: fresh-control tested for 24 hours after harvesting, frozen directly at -80 degrees C and frozen gradually (progressive freezing technique) and preserved in liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees C degree. The 2 cryopreserved groups of segments were allowed in two different cryoprotectant solutions (M1 and M2) containing both dimethyl sulphoxide (10%), RPMI 1640 for the first and M 199 for the second.
