Prospects of сomplex pharmaceutical composition application for pharmacological correction of metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a symptomatic complex characterized by insulin resistance, impaired prooxidant-antioxidantbalance of the body with the development of subchronic inflammation, and dyslipidemia. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a complex pharmaceutical composition (CPC) (antioxidants and metabolitotropic agents), which is widely used in medical practice in Ukraine as a multivitamin complex, on experimental metabolic syndrome in rats. The effectof CPC on the correction of experimental MetS in rats, induced by a high content of carbohydrates and fats in the diet, was assessed.

Carbon Allotropes-Based Paints and Their Composite Coatings for Electromagnetic Shielding Applications.

The present manuscript reports on optimized formulations of alcohol-based conductive paints for electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI), which can ensure compatibility and reduce the visibility of electronic equipment, as a continuation of our previous work in this field, which examined water-based formulations for other applications. Graphite, carbon black, graphene, FeO, Fe ore, and PEDOT:PSS in various ratios and combinations were employed in an alcohol base for developing homogeneous paint-like fluid mixtures that could be easily applied to surfaces with a paintbrush, leading to homogeneous, uniform, opaque layers, drying fast in the air at room temperature; these layers had a reasonably good electrical conductivity and, subsequently, an efficient EMI-shielding performance. Uniform, homogeneous and conductive layers with a thickness of over 1 mm without exfoliations and cracking were prepared with the developed paints, offering an attenuation of up to 50 dB of incoming GHz electromagnetic radiation.

In situ-Synthesized cadmium sulfide quantum dots in pore-forming protein and polysaccharide matrices for optical biosensing applications.

The main limitation for practical implementation of quantum dots-based sensors and biosensors is the possible contamination of sensing media with quantum dots (QDs) moved out from the sensor structure, being critical for living systems measurements. Numerous efforts have addressed the challenge of pre-synthesized QDs incorporation into porous matrix provide, on the one hand, proper fixation of quantum dots in its volume and preserving a free analyte transfer from the sensing media to them - on the other hand. Here, we propose an alternative insight into this problem.
