This work proves that nitric oxide (NO) can be successfully recovered from hydrogen flue gas streams in nitric acid, opening new pathways for NO control in combustion streams. Recovering NO from hydrogen combustion streams allows for increasing the combustion temperature in the turbine, reducing the fuel consumption per kWh, while obtaining a building block for nitric acid production. The solubility of nitric oxide is determined in amines, ethanol, and nitric acid solutions at a laboratory scale, suitable candidates for nitric oxide absorption. The solubility of nitric oxide in amines and ethanol is very low (0.009 mol/L/bar & 0.018 mol/L/bar respectively) compared with nitric acid (0.23 mol/L/bar), which is in the same range as the solubility of CO in amines solutions. Nitric acid, in addition to having good NO solubility, also presents high selectivity towards nitric oxide and easy recovery of nitric oxide by simply raising the temperature. Finally, a fugacity-activity coefficient model combining the Peng-Robinson (PR) equation of state with the Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model is proposed as a thermodynamic model to represent the NO-HNO-HO equilibrium, giving as a result an average absolute deviation between the experimental results and the model predictions of only 5%.

The current study investigated the effect of a single administration of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) and its nanoparticles (NPs) on testicular hemodynamics using Doppler ultrasonography, testicular volume, testicular echotexture (PIX), and circulating testosterone and nitric oxide (NO) in pubescent goat bucks during summer months. Fifteen Baladi goats were divided into three groups (5 in each) and subjected to a single intramuscular administration of one ml of physiological saline ( control group), one ml containing 500 IU of hCG (hCG group) or one ml containing 125 IU of hCG NPs (hCG NPs group). Testicular hemodynamics assessment was done just before administration (0 h), and at 2, 4, 6, 24, and daily till 7 days after administration.

Neuroinflammation and the immune response are recognized as significant mechanisms contributing to the progression and pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Consequently, extensive research is being conducted on drugs targeting inflammation and immune response. Leflunomide, known for its anti‑inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, is currently used as a disease‑modifying agent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
