In this work, multifunctional linen cellulose fabrics were facilely developed by using an eco-friendly finishing formulations and the pad-dry/microwave fixation technique. Both reactant resin and citric acid have been employed as low- and zero-formaldehyde crosslinkers along with their proper catalyzing agents. Individual incorporation of ascorbic acid and selected phenolic compounds namely salicylic acid, resorcinol, and gallic acid, as natural active ingredient (AI-OH) along with PEG-400 or modified nonionic silicone-softener in ether- or ester-crosslinking formulation and their impacts on the performance, functional properties and degree of coloration of the finished fabrics were investigated. FTIR, SEM, and EDX analysis of selected samples were carried out. Results revealed that type of crosslinker, kind and concentration of active ingredient, as well as type of additive play an important role in the imparted functional properties. The durability of the imparted antibacterial and UV protection functional properties was confirmed by washing test.

Myelin abnormalities in white matter have been implicated in the pathophysiology of psychotic spectrum disorders (PSD), which are characterized by brain dysconnectivity as a core feature. Among evidence from in vivo MRI studies, diffusion imaging findings have largely supported disrupted white matter integrity in PSD; however, they are not specific to myelin changes. Using a multimodal imaging approach, the current study aimed to further delineate myelin and microstructural changes in the white matter of a young PSD cohort.

Carbon dots doped with metals and non-metals have gained much popularity due to the enhancement in their optical and electronic properties. In this study, polyethyleneimine-functionalized transition metal (nickel or copper) doped carbon dots (CD, NiCD and CuCD) were synthesized through hydrothermal method. The carbon dots exhibited a blue fluorescence at 470 nm when excited at 350 nm.

Removal of accumulated dyes from the environment water bodies is essential to prevent further harm to humans. The development and design of new alternative nanoadsorbents that can conveniently, quickly, and efficiently improve the adsorption and removal efficiency of dyes from wastewater remains a huge challenge. An amorphous TiO with a magnetic core-shell-shell structure (FeO@PDA@a-TiO, denoted as FPaT) was constructed through a series of steps.

Nonylphenol (NP) is a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disrupting chemical and oxidative stress inducer in biological systems. Resveratrol (RES) and Naringenin (NG) are phytochemicals possessing antioxidant properties and estrogenic activity. This study was conducted to investigate the toxicity of NP and the mitigating effects of RES and NG on NP toxicity in rats.

Purpose: The sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor-1 (S1PR) is involved in regulating responses to neuroimmune stimuli. There is a need for S1PR-specific radioligands with clinically suitable brain pharmcokinetic properties to complement existing radiotracers. This work evaluated a promising S1PR radiotracer, [F]TZ4877, in nonhuman primates.
