In this study, lead (Pb) bioaccessibility was assessed in peri-urban contaminated soils using a variety of established in vitro assays. Bioaccessibility data was then used to predict Pb relative bioavailability (RBA) using published in vivo-in vitro regression models in order to compare calculated estimates and measured values. Lead bioaccessibility varied depending on the in vitro methodology employed with the relative bioavailability leaching procedure (RBALP) and in vitro gastrointestinal (IVG) assays providing more conservative Pb bioaccessibility values compared to those determined using PBET, UBM and Rel-SBRC-I assays. When Pb RBA was calculated, predicted values using PBET-G and UBM-G data were similar to measured Pb RBA values. However, Pb RBA was over-estimated by 1.6-5.5- and 2.6-6.6-fold when data and regression models from RBALP and IVG-G assays were employed.

Aims: This study aimed to develop Imatinib Mesylate (IMT)-loaded Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA)-D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS)- Polyethylene glycol (PEG) hybrid nanoparticles (CSLHNPs) with optimized physicochemical properties for targeted delivery to glioblastoma multiforme.
Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most destructive type of brain tumor with several complications. Currently, most treatments for drug delivery for this disease face challenges due to the poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) and lack of site-specific delivery.

The emergence of green chemistry and engineering principles to enforce sustainability aspects has ensured the prevalence of green solvents and green processes. Our study addresses this quest by exploring drug delivery applications of hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) which are alternative green solvents. Initially, this work showcases the hydrophobic drug solubilization capabilities of a natural hydrophobic DES, menthol, and decanoic acid.

Background: Oral health may influence blood pressure control by modulating the abundance and activity of nitrate-reducing bacteria, which are essential for enhancing nitrite and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. This study aimed to investigate the oral health and microbiome composition of women with pre-eclampsia (PET) compared to healthy controls (CN).
Methods: Ten PET and eleven CN women participated in this study, respectively.

The scientific literature on talent identification is extensive, with significant advancements made over the past 30 years. However, as with any field, the translation of research into practice and its impact on the field have been slower than anticipated. Indeed, recent findings highlight a pervasive relative age effect, the effects of maturation being often overlooked, disparate populations between young and senior performers, and a necessity to embrace a holistic approach.

Enhancing the passivation of heavy metals and increasing organic matter content during the composting of sewage sludge poses significant challenges for maximizing its utilization value. Results indicated that in the control, biochar, microbial agents and microbial agents-loaded biochar (BCLMA) groups, BCLMA addition led to a higher composting temperature, with increases of 17-62% in humic acid, 25-73% in germination index, and 30-35% in organic matter consumption. And the residual fraction of Cu, Zn, Cr and Cd were increased by 30%, 12%, 22% and 17%, respectively.
