Structure, Surface Topography, and Glass Transition Temperature of Dental Poly (Methyl Methacrylate) Resin Conjugated with 3,9-bisethenyl-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro [5,5] Undecane as Cross-linker: An Research.

Aim And Objectives: To characterize and analyze the structural presentation of a new denture base copolymer with a spiro-acetal cross-linker at 10 and 20 wt.% concentrations by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray (FESEM-EDX) spectroscopies. Also, to evaluate the glass transition temperature (T) of the new copolymer.

Efficient agricultural pest classification using vision transformer with hybrid pooled multihead attention.

Accurate pest classification plays a pivotal role in modern agriculture for effective pest management, ensuring crop health and productivity. While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been widely used for classification, their limited ability to capture both local and global information hinders precise pest identification. In contrast, vision transformers have shown promise in capturing global dependencies and enhancing classification performance.

Development of alkaline-stable nanoformulation of nisin: special insights through cytotoxic and antibacterial studies.

Nisin, a thermostable, approved food preservative, has limited therapeutic applications because of its high pH and proteolytic enzyme instability. The unavailability of a rapid, simple method of detection also restricts the research of nisin. The objective of this study was to adapt the simple, rapid protein estimation method of detection for nisin formulation and to formulate and evaluate site-specific nanoformulation for therapeutic applications, viz.

A comparative analysis on groundwater vulnerability models-fuzzy DRASTIC and fuzzy DRASTIC-L.

Groundwater vulnerability assessment using the fuzzy logic technique is attempted in this study. A hierarchical fuzzy inference system is created to serve the selected objective. The parameters considered in this study are similar to the seven parameters used in conventional DRASTIC methods; however, the effect of land use and land cover is studied by including it as an additional parameter in a model.

Post-COVID pulmonary fibrosis: therapeutic efficacy using with mesenchymal stem cells - How the lung heals.

COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by SARS-COV 2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus) that has become a global pandemic. COVID-19 mainly causes the respiratory complications of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), cytokine storm, and severe immune disruptions. The assays depict that though people recuperate from COVID-19, there are still symptoms that persists in the body causing discomfort, which is the consequence of the viral infection due to severe immune disruptions.

Facile Synthesis of Dihydroquinolines via Palladium Catalyzed Sequential Amination and Cyclisation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman Alcohols.

Quinolines and its derivatives are significant class of heterocyclic compounds which are identified as the key component in many natural products and biologically important molecules. We describe herein a facile method for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives from Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) Alcohols Palladium Catalyzed intramolecular aryl amination followed by allylic amination pathway. The reaction between a series of MBH alcohols and amino compounds (Tosyl, aliphatic and aromatic amines) under optimized reaction conditions with Pd(PPh)Cl/DPPP catalyst system, afforded the corresponding 1,2-dihydroquinolines upto 95 % isolated yield.

Cervical polyp: evaluating the need of routine surgical intervention and its correlation with cervical smear cytology and endometrial pathology: a retrospective study.

Objective: To determine the frequency of premalignant and malignant lesions in cervical polyps in order to examine whether cervical polyps need to be removed routinely and also to appraise its association with cervical smear cytology and endometrial pathologies.

Methods: We retrospectively re-examined the hospital records of 299 cases over a period of 5 years. All patients were segregated into perimenopausal and postmenopausal groups according to their menopausal status.

Enhanced apoptogenesis and oncogene regulatory mechanism of troxerutin in triple negative breast cancer cells.

Triple negative breast carcinoma (TNBC) is an aggressive form of cancer, with high rates of morbidity, mortality, poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. The objective of the present study was to elaborate the anticancer activity of Troxerutin (TXN) in TNBC/MDA-MB-231 cells. Herein, we demonstrated the inhibitory effects of TXN on the breast cancer cell growth via induction of apoptosis.

Synthesis, characterisation and biomedical applications of curcumin conjugated chitosan microspheres.

Curcumin is a diaryl heptanoid of curcuminoids class obtained from Curcuma longa. It possesses various biological activities like anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, wound-healing, and antimicrobial activities. Chitosan is a biocompatible, biodegradable and non-toxic natural polymer which enhances the adhesive property of the skin.

Accelerating the sludge disintegration potential of a novel bacterial strain Planococcus jake 01 by CaCl2 induced deflocculation.

The present study investigates the impacts of phase separated disintegration through CaCl2 (calcium chloride) mediated biosurfactant producing bacterial pretreatment. In the initial phase of the study, the flocs were disintegrated (deflocculation) with 0.06g/gSS of CaCl2.
