The anti-inflammatory effect of diclofenac alone or in combination with double strength grapefruit juice was investigated on carrageenan-induced rat's paw oedema. Paw was measured by using a plethysmometer 3 h after injecting the phlogestic agent. There was significant inhibition (P< 0.05) of the oedematous response after oral administration of diclofenac alone (1, 2.5, 5 mg kg(-1)p.o.) in a dose-dependent manner. Coadministration of grapefruit juice (10 ml kg(-1)p.o.) orally with all doses of diclofenac, enhanced the inhibitory effect of diclofenac on rat's paw oedema. Double-strength grapefruit juice has synergistic inhibitory effect on rat's paw oedema when administered in combination with diclofenac.

Chemical amination of the enzyme was demonstrated to favor immobilization onto polydopamine (PDA)-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for the first time, to the best of the author's knowledge. MNPs prepared via hydrothermal synthesis were coated with PDA for the immobilization of naringinase. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the MNPs were composed mainly of FeO with an average size of 38.

Surface functionalization and the combined utilization of zero-dimensional and two-dimensional nanomaterials is an effective method to achieve highly sensitive detection for electrochemical analysis. Using an all-in-one strategy, phthalocyanine, gold nanoparticles, and ionic liquid were successively modified on the graphene surface as a highly integrated electrode modification material. Phthalocyanine can repair the defects of reduced graphene oxide by binding to the graphene structure surface through non-covalent functionalization.

Nadolol is a hydrophilic β-adrenoceptor blocker with a relatively long half-life and negligible metabolism. It is a substrate of P-glycoprotein and organic anion transporting polypeptide 1A2, and may serve as an in vivo probe drug for the assessment of drug-drug and food-drug interactions mediated by these transporters. In the present study, we aimed to develop limited sampling strategy (LSS) models for predicting the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of nadolol.

The production of bacterial cellulose (BC) has indeed garnered global attention due to its versatile properties and applications. Despite potential benefits, the challenges like low productivity, high fermentation costs, and expensive culture media hinder its industrialization. Utilizing low-cost substrates, especially waste streams, can help address the challenges.

Background: Fruits are an important source of flavonoids, and greater intake of dietary flavonoids in older adults has been shown to be associated with decreased risk of dementia. It is unclear whether this relationship is similar or different between younger adults and older adults.
Objectives: We examined for associations between midlife and late-life intake of flavonoid-rich fruits and incident dementia.
