Microarray needles comprised of arginine-modified chitosan/PVA hydrogel for enhanced antibacterial and wound healing potential of curcumin.

Wound healing is a multifaceted and complex process that includes inflammation, hemostasis, remodeling, and granulation. Failures in any link may cause the healing process to be delayed. As a result, wound healing has always been a main research focus across the entire medical field, posing significant challenges and financial burdens.

Green synthesis of hesperidin coated silver nanoparticles for colorimetric detection of gentamicin sulfate in real samples.

Gentamicin sulfate (GEN), a well-known broad-spectrum antibiotic is mostly administered through intramuscular injections and entirely excreted in un-metabolized form through urination from patient's body. Quantitative detection of GEN by direct UV absorption is usually challenging due to lack of chromophores and fluorophores in structure. The current study described the hesperidin coated silver nanoparticles (HSPAgNPs) based novel colorimetric quantitative assay for GEN.

Does Lipocalin-2 Affect Metabolic Syndrome in Hepatic Infections?

Background and objective Lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) is an adipokine that plays a protective role in various inflammatory disorders and regulates innate immune response to acute and chronic infections. However, scant information is available regarding the relationship between serum LCN-2 levels and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) occurring concurrently with chronic hepatic infections. The present study sought to investigate the association of LCN-2 with T2DM patients with hepatic infections.

Association of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in metabolic syndrome.

The aim of this case-control study was to assess TIMP2 level in subjects with or without metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to associate levels with non-alcoholic fatty liver changes (NAFLD). Thirty-three MetS subjects and 55 controls were recruited. Anthropometric data, lipid and glucose profile, TIMP2 and liver ultrasound was performed.
