Silver/tannic acid nanoparticles/ poly-L-lysine decorated polyvinyl alcohol-hydrogel as a hybrid wound dressing.

Hydrogels containing antimicrobial materials have emerged as attractive platforms for wound treatment in the past decade due to their favorable bio-mimicking properties, excellent modulation of bacterial infection, and ability to minimize bacterial resistance. Herein, a hybrid combination of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), hyperbranched poly L-lysine (L), tannic acid decorated AgNPs (AgTA NPs), loaded with Allantoin (Alla) is used to fabricate PLAg-Alla hydrogel dressing via the freeze-thaw method without use of any chemical cross-linker. The PLAg-Alla hydrogel possesses a great structure, is biodegradable, and safe, and exhibits high antibacterial potential, all required for efficient wound healing.

Amygdalin/chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol/cerium-tannic acid hydrogel as biodegradable long-time implant for cancer recurrence care applications: An study.

Cancer recurrence following surgery is a serious and worrying problem for the patient. Common treatment strategies, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, are restricted because of low uptake of the drugs, poor pharmacokinetic properties, and toxicity issues for healthy tissues. The development of engineering platforms for improving the postoperative treatment of cancer can help solve this problem.

Chitosan-polyethylene oxide/clay-alginate nanofiber hydrogel scaffold for bone tissue engineering: Preparation, physical characterization, and biomimetic mineralization.

This study aimed to prepare a novel organic-mineral nanofiber/hydrogel of chitosan-polyethylene oxide (CS-PEO)/nanoclay-alginate (NC-ALG). The effects of NC particles on the mineralization and biocompatibility of the scaffold were investigated. A layer-by-layer scaffold composed of CS-PEO and NC-ALG was prepared.

A facile and high-sensitive bio-sensing of the V617F mutation in gene by GSH-CdTe-QDs FRET-based sensor.

This study aimed to directly detect the V617F point mutation of the Janus kinase 2 () gene in the target DNA using a FRET-based biosensor. The water-soluble GSH-CdTe-QDs were synthesized by a one-step process, then GSH-QD conjugated to the termini amino-modified oligonucleotides target via carboxylic groups on the QD surface. The prepared QDs-DNA biosensor was applied in the quantitative and rapid detection of V617F mutation with a detection limit of 3 × 10 mol L based on the FRET mechanism.

Major and minor criteria for gastric dystemperaments in Persian Medicine: Sari gastric dystemperament criteria-I (SGDC-I).

Background: Gastric disorders are one of the most common human ailments, which impose a huge economic burden on countries. In Persian Medicine (PM), it is possible to predict the susceptibility to gastric diseases with diagnosis of gastric Mizajes (temperaments) and dystemperaments. The semiology of gastric dystemperaments has been investigated in PM textbooks, although the value of each sign and symptom is not mentioned.

The Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa L), A Proposed Remedy as to a Fertile Agent in the Viewpoint of Iranian Traditional Medicine.

Background And Objective: Infertility is a major problem in medical sciences. Despite recent advances in diagnosing and treatment of infertility, it is still one of the most important medical problems. The aim of this study is to review the role of the parsnip (Pastinaca sativa L), a proposed remedy as to a fertile agent in the viewpoint of Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) and review the evidence in the conventional medicine.

A Historical Review of Persian Medicine Studies into Saliva Manifestations for Potential Applications for Diagnosis and Management of Metabolic Syndrome.

Background And Objectives: Regarding the development of diagnostic tests based on saliva and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), the aim of this study is to review Persian Medicine manuscripts in the field of saliva manifestations, its relation to metabolic syndrome, and treatment recommendations.

Methods: This study is a mini-review. We investigated the canon of medicine and some important Persian medical or pharmaceutical manuscripts from the 9th to the 19th centuries.

Water Intake from the Points of View of Rhazes and Avicenna.

Owing to the effect of acute and chronic hypohydration on health and the lethal effects of hyperhydration, an appropriate amount of water intake is important for each individual. Traditional Iranian medicine (TIM) is a holistic system one of whose important parts deals with lifestyles and how to maintain health, including the amount of water intake for every person and the appropriate principles of drinking water. In this study, Avicenna's Canon of Medicine, Rhazes' Benefits of Food and Its Harmfulness, and conventional medical articles were reviewed to evaluate the amount of water intake for each person and the principles of drinking water.

Appetite Reducing Herbal Drugs from the Perspective of Avicenna and Aghili in Iranian Traditional Medicine (Persian medicine).

The increasing prevalence of obesity is one of the major problems of today's society. Man needs food to continue living, daily activities, and even the metabolism of food; and appetite plays an important role in receiving foods. Appetite and weight reducing synthetic drugs, which are mostly costly and have significant side effects, are recommended for some patients, and have limited effectiveness in the treatment of obesity.

N,N'-(4-Chloro-benzyl-idene)dipyrimidin-2-amine.

The title compound, C(15)H(13)ClN(6), contains two pyrimidine rings and one benzene ring, where the dihedral angle between the planes through the pyrimidine rings is 81.57 (10)°, and those between the pyrimidine rings and the benzene ring are 84.02 (8) and 89.

1-(2-Pyrid-yl)-N,N'-dipyrimidin-2-ylmethane-diamine.

In the title compound, C(14)H(13)N(7), inter-molecular N-H⋯N and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into infinite one-dimensional chains along (100). A C-H⋯π inter-action also occurs in the crystal.
