Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease by Using Curcumin-Containing Self-Microemulsifying Delivery System: Macroscopic and Microscopic Analysis.

The lack of local availability for drugs in the colon can be addressed by preparing a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) of curcumin (Cur) which is ultimately used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). From preformulation studies, Lauroglycol FCC (oil), Tween 80 (surfactant), Transcutol HP (co-surfactant), and Avicel (solid carrier) were selected for the preparation of blank liquid and solid Cur-loaded SMEDDSs (S-Cur-SMEDDSs). Z-average size (12.

Putting forward novel sulfonamide-thiazole-pyrazoline hybrids as potential central core structure for the development of non-specific b-TNAP and c-IAP inhibitors.

Alkaline phosphatases (ALPs) play crucial role in various functions of human body, such as bone formation, metabolism in liver and intestines, and transfer of nutrients from mother to fetus during pregnancy. However, their overexpression is associated with severe consequences in different patients, such as deposition of minerals in dialysis patients also called coronary calcification and increased bone turnover in patients facing cancer metastization. Due to their involvement in crucial functions of human body and association with such harsh consequences, there is need of newer efficient ALP inhibitors that can tackle ALP excess without derailing the progress of normal functions.

Characterization of entropy measures with connection number based indices of boric acid hydrogen-bonded 2D lattice sheets.

The cut method is a computational approach utilized to predict the fundamental activities of physicochemical properties of chemical networks, also called topological indices. The connection number is a new idea, that gives interesting and good results of the topological indices (TIs) and entropy measures (EMs) for structural representation of chemical compounds and networks. The physical density of chemical networks is characterized by these indices.

Mixed metric dimension and exchange property of hexagonal nano-network.

The mixed metric dimension of a graph is an important parameter in characterizing its structural complexity, specifically in nanoscale networks where precision is paramount. In this article, we calculate the mixed metric dimension of hexagonal nano-network, a modal with significant applications in nanotechnology and material science. Through rigorous analysis, we set up that the mixed metric dimension of the hexagonal nano-network is exactly three, highlighting its minimal but enough resolving set that uniquely identifies all vertices.

Divergence of variant antibodies following SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccines in myeloma and impact of hybrid immunity.

Hematological malignancies are associated with an increased risk of complications during SARS-CoV-2 infections. Primary series or monovalent booster vaccines reduce disease severity, hospitalization, and death among multiple myeloma patients. We characterized virus-neutralizing and spike-binding antibody profiles following monovalent (WA1) or bivalent (WA1/BA.

Optimizing predictive models for evaluating the F-temperature index in predicting the π-electron energy of polycyclic hydrocarbons, applicable to carbon nanocones.

In the fields of mathematics, chemistry, and the physical sciences, graph theory plays a substantial role. Using modern mathematical techniques, quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) modeling predicts the physical, synthetic, and natural properties of substances based only on their chemical composition. For a chemical graph, the temperature of a vertex is a local property introduced by Fajtlowicz (1988).

Tests employed in the psychometric validation of the Insulin Treatment Appraisal Scale (ITAS) in T2DM patients; a systematic review of the literature.

Background: Psychological Insulin Resistance (PIR) and negative perceptions regarding insulin treatment are noteworthy challenges in T2DM management, which hinder the timely initiation of insulin treatment. To get past these obstacles a reliable tool is required to evaluate patients' perspectives on insulin administration. Our study aims to conduct a comprehensive systematic review to evaluate the validity and reliability of different validation tests used in the psychometric validation of the ITAS in T2DM patients.

Insecticidal and Repellent Activity of Essential Oils from Seven Different Plant Species against (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae).

(Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is the most destructive pest of stored grain commodities. To control the attack of this insect pest, it is important to develop non-hazardous alternatives to replace fumigants. This study examined the fumigant toxicity and repellent activity of seven essential oils (, , and ) against adult under controlled laboratory conditions.

A parametric similarity measure for neutrosophic set and its applications in energy production.

As a useful tool for managing ambiguous and inconsistent data, the Single Value Neutrosophic Set (SVNSs) is an extension of both Fuzzy Sets (FSs) and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs). In the field of information theory, metrics like similarity, entropy, and distance are important. Although a number of entropy measures for SVNSs have been put forth and used in real-world situations, both academic research and real-world applications have pointed out certain drawbacks.

Proactive employees perceive coworker ostracism: The moderating effect of team envy and the behavioral outcome of production deviance.

As the workplace becomes more team based, interpersonal relationships at work are a central topic that affects both employees and the organization. Despite ample evidence showing the detrimental effects of workplace ostracism on employees' health and productivity, why someone is ostracized by others at work warrants more research. Based on social comparison theory, we predict that task proactivity could be perceived negatively and can elicit ostracism from team members; this effect is dependent upon the boundary condition of team envy.

Interval-valued picture fuzzy decision-making framework with partitioned maclaurin symmetric mean aggregation operators.

Interval-valued picture fuzzy (IVPF) set is an extension of the picture fuzzy set theory used to represent uncertainty and vagueness in the processes of decision-making. This study focuses on exploring the interrelationships among multiple IVPFSs and criteria partitions. We investigate the IVPF partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean operator and the weighted IVPF partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean operator and discuss their respective properties.

Mineralogical and radiological studies on some Paleozoic yellow ochre deposits in Southwestern Sinai, Egypt.

Yellow ochre is the basic material used in the manufacture of yellow oxide (a commercial product). Yellow ochre samples were taken from three different formations in southwestern Sinai: Abu Hamata, Um Bogma, and Abu Zarab. Yellow ochre occasionally exists in Abu Hamata Formation particularly in El Ferah area, associated with Fe-Mn ore in Wadi El Sahu (Um Bogma Formation) and in Himayer area (Abu Zarab Formation).
