Background: Oxidative stress (OS) has been a target of interest for vascular dementia, given its implications in pathogenesis. OS may be important in prodromal stage, such as vascular mild cognitive impairment (vMCI), and examining OS markers in vMCI may help better understand biological processes in the onset of cognitive impairment. Our study compared OS levels in vMCI vs controls, and explored whether OS markers predicted the response to antioxidant treatments in vMCI.

Purpose: Cough and sputum are the most common clinical symptoms of acute respiratory tract infection. Ambroxol is a mucolytic expectorant commonly used in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and compliance of ambroxol hydrochloride spray (Luo Runchang ®) for the treatment of acute respiratory tract diseases in children.

Article Synopsis
  • Cholic acid-based biodegradable reverse polymeric micelles were developed as a drug delivery system for poorly soluble drugs, specifically through the synthesis of N-acetylcysteine functionalized triarmed poly (Dl-lactide) known as ACyCA-triarmed (DLL).
  • The micelles were characterized using various techniques like GPC and FT-IR, and their critical micellar concentration was determined to be 1.99 mg/mL.
  • The research also demonstrated that these reverse micelles could encapsulate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with improved antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, making them a promising platform for slow, sustained drug release of hydrophobic drugs such as doxorubicin.

Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa where symptomatology has continued beyond 12 weeks. Manuka honey is made by bees that pollinate the native leptospermum scoparium bush (tea tree). Baby shampoo is a commercially available liquid solution containing multiple chemical surfactants that can act as a mucolytic and an antimicrobial agent.
