Background And Objectives: The authors sought to assess the effect of the use of a new crosslinked hyaluronan (NCH) gel on the prevention of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) in women underwent curettage in the second trimester.
Methods: Between June 2016 and September 2017, 60 patients who underwent curettage for retained placental tissue after medically induced or spontaneous pregnancy loss in the second trimester were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups: Group 1 patients received curettage plus NCH gel (intervention group), and group 2 patients received curettage alone (control group). The main outcomes were the rate and severity of IUA formation, which were assessed by follow-up hysteroscopy performed in the ensuing 2-6 months.
Results: The hysteroscopic findings were available for 20 patients in group 1 and 28 patients in group 2. IUAs were observed in 6 patients in group 2, while no IUAs was observed in group 1 ( = .007). IUAs were staged as mild in 4 patients (14.28%) and moderate in 2 patients (7.14%) in group 2 according to the American Fertility Society classification of IUAs.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that NCH gel appears to be able to reduce the formation of IUAs in women who undergo curettage in the second trimester, although larger controlled, randomized, multicenter studies are needed to confirm these results.

Background: Ticagrelor (TG), an antiplatelet drug is employed to treat patients with acute coronary syndrome, but its inadequate oral bioavailability due to poor solubility and low permeability restricts its effectiveness.
Purpose: This contemporary work was aimed to design a novel pH-sensitive nanocomposite hydrogel (NCH) formulation incorporating thiolated chitosan (TCH) based nanoparticles (NPs) of Ticagrelor (TG), to enhance its oral bioavailability for effectively inhibiting platelet aggregation.
Methods: NCHs were prepared by free radical polymerization technique, using variable concentrations of chitosan (CH) as biodegradable polymer, acrylic acid (AA) as a monomer, N,N-methylene bisacrylamide (MBAA) as cross-linker, and potassium persulphate (KPS) as initiator.

In the present work, the removal of fast sulphon black (FSB) dye from water was executed by using chitin-cl-poly(itaconic acid-co-acrylamide)/zirconium tungstate nanocomposite hydrogel (Ch-cl-poly(IA-co-AAm)-ZrW NCH). The Ch-cl-poly(IA-co-AAm)-ZrW NCH was fabricated proficiently by microwave-induced sol-gel/copolymrization method. The zirconium tungstate (ZrW) photocatalyst was prepared by co-precipitation method using sodium tungstate and zirconium oxychloride in ratio (2:1).

In this prospective randomised placebo-controlled study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of New Cross linked Hyaluronan Gel (NCH gel) on the quality of life of patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery due to Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE). The intervention group received 40 mL of NCH gel, and the control group had a 40 mL sterile saline solution instilled into the peritoneal cavity following standard laparoscopic procedures. The patients were called in the third and sixth postoperative months and requested to fill the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-5), and Short Form for Mental and Physical Health (SF-12) questionnaires.

Pyridyl acrylonitrile without traditional auxiliary groups form stable organogels in ethanol. The addition of a second non-gelating cyanostilbene component results in a more stable two-component gel. Single crystal X-ray data reveal the influence of C-H⋅ ⋅ ⋅N, C-H⋅ ⋅ ⋅π, and π-π interactions in the formation of organogels.
