siRNA targeting PARP-1 alleviates diabetic peripheral neuropathy in a streptozotocin-induced rat model.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a debilitating complication of diabetes mellitus, affecting nearly 50% of diabetic patients and leading to chronic pain, numbness and progressive sensory and motor function loss. This study investigates the potential of siRNA-mediated silencing of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) to alleviate DPN in a rat model. PARP1 overactivation, driven by hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress, exacerbates neuronal damage in DPN.

"Development, optimization, and characterization of Eudragit-based nanoparticles for Dasatinib delivery".

This study focused on developing and evaluating dasatinib-loaded nanoparticles (DST-NPs) using Eudragit L100 as a polymer matrix for enhanced breast cancer treatment. The optimized formulation exhibited a particle size of 202.1 ± 5.

Chitosan/siRNA nanoparticles targeting PARP-1 attenuate Neuroinflammation and apoptosis in hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress in Neuro2a cells.

Hyperglycemia induces an excessive production of superoxide by the mitochondria's electron-transport chain triggers several pathways of injury contributing to the development of diabetic complications. This increase in oxidative and nitrosative stress triggers the activation of PARP-1, a nuclear enzyme, through mechanisms such as DNA damage. siRNA-chitosan nanoparticles were formed based on electrostatic interaction, their particle size, zeta potential, STEM, and cellular uptake were characterized.

Carotid sparing hypofractionated tomotherapy in early glottic cancers: Refining image guided IMRT to improve morbidity.

Objective: Carotid artery damage has been reported secondary to radiotherapy. We report the feasibility of implementing hypofractionated laryngeal irradiation using carotid sparing tomotherapy (HT) and analyze the image guidance (IG) policy.

Materials And Methods: Five patients with early glottic cancer (EGC) had radiotherapy using 3D conformal technique (conf) while repeat treatment plans were produced with helical tomotherapy using carotid sparing techniques (cstomo).
