Oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis could be an important factor leading to post-hemorrhagic consequences after germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH). Previously study have indicated that relaxin 2 receptor activation initiates anti-oxidative stress and anti-apoptosis in ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, whether relaxin 2 activation can attenuate oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis after GMH remains unknown.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an on-going public health problem due in part to the lack of success with efforts to develop an efficacious vaccine to prevent this sexually transmitted infection. The gonococcal transferrin binding protein B (TbpB) is an attractive candidate vaccine antigen. However, it exhibits high levels of antigenic variability, posing a significant obstacle in evoking a broadly protective immune response.

Polyamide (PA) has notable physical and chemical properties and is one of the most versatile synthetic materials in the industrial sector. However, its hydrophobicity creates significant challenges in its beneficiation and modification. Modifications of PA with chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) can improve its undesired properties but are rarely found in the literature due to the weak interaction between the chemical groups of both structures.
