ABSTRACT
Continuous use of oral NSAIDs can damage mucosal membrane, which results in decreased bioavailability and non-compliance with the therapy. But the use of sustained release drug delivery systems might offer a solution. Objective was to synthesize mucoadhesive SR microspheres by using different combinations of pectin (PEC) and its thiolated derivative (T-PEC3100) for improved loxoprofen (LS) permeation. Thiolated pectin (T-PEC) was synthesized by the esterification method using thioglycolic acid. Thiolation was confirmed by thiol group quantification and charring point determination. Further characterization was done by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ex-vivo mucoadhesion study was performed to confirm the improved characteristics. Microspheres (MS) were prepared using different ratios of PEC/T-PEC by solvent evaporation method and their particle size and surface morphology were evaluated. Mucus permeation study was carried out using the trans-well plate method. Sustained release behavior of prepared microspheres was investigated through the edema inhibition method in albino rats. T-PEC3100 was considered the optimum formulation for further evaluation and contained maximum thiol group content. FTIR spectra showed a characteristic peak of -SH and charring point was also changed considerably confirming the successful thiolation of PEC. SEM results showed spherical microspheres in the size range of 2-10 µm. Thiol-rich formulation of MS exhibited more than 80 % release after 12 h and maximum absorbable dose (MAD) was calculated as 400 µg % inhibition of edema in MS treated group was slowly attained initially but the reduction in inflammation was detected even after 24 h as compared to control group. Promising results from In-vivo edema inhibition study suggest the possible use of these thiolated MS in formulating sustained release formulation for arthritis.
ABSTRACT
The Punjabi population, constituting over 45 % of the country's total population, holds the highest prevalence in Pakistan. To understand their HLA genetics, we genotyped 389 Punjabi subjects for major Class-I loci using the PCR-SSO Luminex® method. Our study identified a total of 162 alleles, including 41 different HLA-A, 72 HLA-B, and 49 HLA-C alleles. The most common alleles included A*11:01 (14.6 %), A*01:01 (11.8 %), A*24:02 (11.3 %); B*40:06 (13.3 %), B*08:01 (10.9 %), B*51:01 (8.7 %); C*15:02 (15.5 %), C*07:02 (15.3 %), and C*04:01 (10.8 %). However, only locus B showed a significant deviation from HWE. The dominant Class I haplotype was A*24:02-B*40:06-C*15:02, followed by A*11:01-B*40:06-C*15:02, while significant LD was observed between all pairs of HLA loci. A distinct genetic makeup was observed in the Pakistani Punjabis as compared to Indian Punjabis, emphasizing the impact of the Indo-Pak partition and religious choices for marriage. In comparison to country's other ethnic groups, the Pakistani population exhibited 76 different alleles at a low field-resolution, with the Punjabi population having highest polymorphism. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Punjabi population is most closely related to the Sindhi population, while both populations sharing ancient connections with the Burusho population. These findings have significant implications for transplantation procedures, personalized medicine, disease susceptibility, and evolutionary studies.
ABSTRACT
Deinococcus species, noted for their exceptional resistance to DNA-damaging environmental stresses, have piqued scientists' interest for decades. This study dives into the complex mechanisms underpinning radiation resistance in the Deinococcus genus. We have examined the genomes of 82 Deinococcus species and classified radiation-resistance proteins manually into five unique curated categories: DNA repair, oxidative stress defense, Ddr and Ppr proteins, regulatory proteins, and miscellaneous resistance components. This classification reveals important information about the various molecular mechanisms used by these extremophiles which have been less explored so far. We also investigated the presence or lack of these proteins in the context of phylogenetic relationships, core, and pan-genomes, which offered light on the evolutionary dynamics of radiation resistance. This comprehensive study provides a deeper understanding of the genetic underpinnings of radiation resistance in the Deinococcus genus, with potential implications for understanding similar mechanisms in other organisms using an interactomics approach. Finally, this study reveals the complexities of radiation resistance mechanisms, providing a comprehensive understanding of the genetic components that allow Deinococcus species to flourish under harsh environments. The findings add to our understanding of the larger spectrum of stress adaption techniques in bacteria and may have applications in sectors ranging from biotechnology to environmental research.
ABSTRACT
Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm that can be classified as either primary or secondary, depending on the presence or absence of an associated internal malignancy. Primary EMPD arises as an intraepithelial adenocarcinoma, while secondary EMPD results from the extension of an underlying visceral malignancy. This case report presents a unique instance of primary EMPD developing 10 years after a diagnosis of secondary EMPD in the same anatomical location, a phenomenon not previously documented in the literature. The patient, initially treated for secondary EMPD with wide local excision, later developed primary EMPD, as confirmed through histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis. This rare occurrence raises questions about the potential mechanisms, including field cancerization, persistent risk factors, or a coincidental event. The case underscores the importance of long-term follow-up and surveillance for EMPD patients. Mohs micrographic surgery remains the gold standard for treating EMPD due to its high precision in margin control and lower recurrence rates compared to conventional surgical methods. This case highlights the need for meticulous diagnostic approaches and continuous monitoring to manage and understand the complexities of EMPD effectively.
ABSTRACT
Phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (EC. 2.7.7.3, PPAT) catalyzes the penultimate step of the multistep reaction in the coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis pathway. In this step, an adenylyl group from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is transferred to 4'-phosphopantetheine (PNS) yielding 3'-dephospho-coenzyme A (dpCoA) and pyrophosphate (PPi). PPAT from strain C3 of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KpPPAT) was cloned, expressed and purified. It was crystallized using 0.1 M HEPES buffer and PEG10000 at pH 7.5. The crystals belonged to tetragonal space group P41212 with cell dimensions of a = b = 72.82 Å and c = 200.37 Å. The structure was determined using the molecular replacement method and refined to values of 0.208 and 0.255 for Rcryst and Rfree factors, respectively. The structure determination showed the presence of three crystallographically independent molecules A, B and C in the asymmetric unit. The molecules A and B are observed in the form of a dimer in the asymmetric unit while molecule C belongs to the second dimer whose partner is related by crystallographic twofold symmetry. The polypeptide chain of KpPPAT folds into a ß/α structure. The conformations of the side chains of several residues in the substrate binding site in KpPPAT are significantly different from those reported in other PPATs. As a result, the modes of binding of substrates, phosphopantetheine (PNS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) differ considerably. The binding studies using fluorescence spectroscopy indicated a KD value of 3.45 × 10-4 M for ATP which is significantly lower than the corresponding values reported for PPAT from other species.

ABSTRACT
The pineal hormone melatonin is a multi-functional molecule with a recognized role in pigment aggregation in chromatophores, mediating its actions through binding to subtypes of its specific receptors. Since its discovery, melatonin has been known to be responsible for pigment aggregation towards the cell centre in fishes, including their embryos, as an adaptation to reduced light and thus results in pale body colouration. Diversity exists in the sensitivity of melanophores towards melatonin at interspecies, intraspecific levels, seasons, and amongst chromatophores at different regions of the animal body. In most of the fishes, melatonin leads to their skin paling at night. It is indicated that the melatonin receptors have characteristically maintained to show the same aggregating effects in fishes and other vertebrates in the evolutionary hierarchy. However, besides this aggregatory effect, melatonin is also responsible for pigment dispersion in certain fishes. Here is the demand in our review to explore further the nature of the dispersive behaviour of melatonin through the so-called ß-melatonin receptors. It is clear that the pigment translocations in lower vertebrates under the effect of melatonin are mediated through the melatonin receptors coupled with other hormonal receptors as well. Therefore, being richly supplied with a variety of receptors, chromatophores and melanocytes can be used as in vitro test models for pharmacological applications of known and novel drugs. In this review, we present diverse effects of melatonin on chromatophores of fishes in particular with appropriate implications on most of the recent findings.

ABSTRACT
An integrated strategy is developed to utilize all three primary components (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) of lignocellulosic biomass for the coproduction of hydrocarbon fuel (5-nonanone) and bio-chemicals (furfural and high purity lignin). After biomass fractionation, (1) 5-nonanone is produced with high yield of 89% using cellulose-derived γ-valerolactone (GVL), which can potentially serve as a platform molecule for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels for the transportation sector; (2) furfural, a valuable platform chemical, is produced using hemicellulose; and (3) production of high-purity lignin, which can be used to produce carbon foams or battery anodes. Separation subsystems are designed to effectively recover the solvents for reuse in the conversion processes, which ultimately improves the economic feasibility of the integrated process, resulting in achieving lower minimum selling price (MSP) of $5.47 GGE-1 for 5-nonanone compared to market price. Heat pump is introduced to perform heat integration, which reduces utility requirements more than 85%. Finally, a wide range of techno-economic analysis is performed to highlight the major cost and technological drivers of the integrated process.

Depression is the major mental illness which causes along with loss of interest in daily life, a feeling of hopelessness, appetite or weight changes, anger and irritability. Due to the hepatic first-pass metabolism, the absolute bioavailability of fluvoxamine (FVM) after oral administration is about 50%. By avoiding the pre-systemic metabolism, nasal delivery would boost bioavailability of FVM. Additionally, the absorption is anticipated to occur more quickly than it would via the oral route because of the existence of microvilli and high vasculature. A nonionic surfactant, cholesterol and an arachidonic acid-carboxymethyl chitosan (AA-CMCS) conjugate were used to develop FVM-loaded novasomes. To investigate the effects of surfactant concentration, AA-CMCS conjugate concentration and stirring speed on the novasomes' characteristics, a Box-Behnken design was used. The dependent variables chosen were zeta potential, polydispersity index and particle size. The AA-CMCS conjugate was confirmed by 1H-NMR and FTIR. Using Design Expert software (version 7; Stat-Ease Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), novasomes were further optimized. The chosen optimal formulation (NAC8) was made up of AA-CMCS conjugate, Span 60 and cholesterol. Particle size, zeta potential and PDI values for NAC8 formulation were 101 nm, -35 mV and 0.263, respectively. The NAC8 formulation's DSC and TGA analysis demonstrated that the medication had been uniformly and amorphously distributed throughout the novasomes. The NAC8 formulation showed 99% and 90% FVM release and permeation, respectively, and the novasome adherence time was 24 h. An improved antidepressant effect along with five-fold increase in bioavailability of FVM was observed after trans-nasal administration of NAC8 formulation compared to the reference commercially available Flumin® tablets. FVM-loaded novasomes administered via the nasal route may therefore constitute an advancement in the management of depression.
ABSTRACT
The current study focused on the fabrication of a well-designed, biocompatible, physically stable, non-irritating and highly porous gelatin scaffold loaded with controlled-release triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and econazole nitrate (EN) co-loaded into mesoporous silica nanoparticles (EN-TA-loaded MSNs) to provide a better long-lasting antifungal therapeutic effect with minimal unfavorable effects. Optimization of the MSNs-loaded scaffold was performed using central composite rotatable design (CCRD), where the effect of gelatin concentration (X1), plasticizer (X2) and freezing time (X3) on the entrapment of EN (Y1) and TA (Y2) and on the release of EN (Y3) and TA (Y4) from the scaffold were studied. The significant compatibility of all formulation ingredients with both drugs was established from XRD, DSC and FT-IR spectra analyses while SEM and zeta studies represented a very precise unvarying distribution of the loaded MSNs in the porous structure of the scaffold. The stability of the optimized scaffold was confirmed from zeta potential analysis (-16.20 mV), and it exhibited higher entrapment efficiency (94%) and the slower (34%) release of both drugs. During in vitro and in vivo antifungal studies against Candida albicans, the MSNs-loaded scaffold was comparatively superior in the eradication of fungal infections as a greater zone of inhibition was observed for the optimized scaffold (16.91 mm) as compared to the pure drugs suspension (14.10 mm). Similarly, the MSNs-loaded scaffold showed a decreased cytotoxicity because the cell survival rate in the scaffold presence was 89% while the cell survival rate was 85% in the case of the pure drugs, and the MSNs-loaded scaffold did not indicate any grade of erythema on the skin in comparison to the pure medicinal agents. Conclusively, the scaffold-loaded nanoparticles containing the combined therapy appear to possess a strong prospective for enhancing patients' adherence and therapy tolerance by yielding improved synergistic antifungal efficacy at a low dose with abridged toxicity and augmented wound-healing impact.

Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis with symptoms that are reminiscent of those experienced in previous smallpox cases. The GSAID database (Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data) was used to assess 630 genomes of MPXV. The phylogenetic study revealed six primary clades, as well as a smaller percentage in radiating clades. Individual clades that make up various nationalities may have formed as a result of a particular SNP hotspot type that mutated in a specific population. The most significant mutation based on a mutational hotspot analysis was found at G3729A and G5143A. The gene ORF138, which encodes the Ankyrin repeat (ANK) protein, was found to have the most mutations. This protein mediates molecular recognition via protein-protein interactions. It was shown that 243 host proteins interacted with 10 monkeypox proteins identified as the hub proteins E3, SPI2, C5, K7, E8, G6, N2, B14, CRMB, and A41 through 262 direct connections. The interaction with chemokine system-related proteins provides further evidence that the monkeypox virus suppresses human proteins to facilitate its survival against innate immunity. Several FDA-approved molecules were evaluated as possible inhibitors of F13, a significant envelope protein on the membrane of extracellular versions of the virus. A total of 2500 putative ligands were individually docked with the F13 protein. The interaction between the F13 protein and these molecules may help prevent the monkeypox virus from spreading. After being confirmed by experiments, these putative inhibitors could have an impact on the activity of these proteins and be used in monkeypox treatments.

The assumption of the pineal hormone melatonin as a therapeutic use for COVID-19-affected people seems promising. Its intake has shown significant improvement in the patients' conditions. Higher melatonin titers in children may provide a protective shield against this disease. The hormone melatonin works as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulator, and strategically slows down the cytokine release which is observed in the COVID-19 disease, thereby improving the overall health of afflicted patients. The medical community is expected shortly to use remedial attributes like anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antivirals, etc., of melatonin in the successful prevention and cure of COVID-19 morbidity. Thus, the administration of melatonin seems auspicious in the cure and prevention of this COVID-19 fatality. Moreover, melatonin does not seem to reduce the efficiency of approved vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Melatonin increases the production of inflammatory cytokines and Th1 and enhances both humoral and cell-mediated responses. Through the enhanced humoral immunity, melatonin exhibits antiviral activities by suppressing multiple inflammatory products such as IL-6, IL1ß, and tumor necrosis factor α, which are immediately released during lung injury of severe COVID-19. Hence, the novel use of melatonin along with other antivirals as an early treatment option against COVID-19 infection is suggested. Here, we have chalked out the invasion mechanisms and appropriate implications of the latest findings concerned with melatonin against the virus SARS-CoV-2. Nevertheless, within the setting of a clinical intervention, the promising compounds must go through a series of studies before their recommendation. In the clinical field, this is done in a time-ordered sequence, in line with the phase label affixed to proper protocol of trials: phase I-phase II and the final phase III. Nevertheless, while medical recommendations can only be made on the basis of reassuring evidence, there are still three issues worth considering before implementation: representativeness, validity, and lastly generalizability.

They are easily and conveniently prepared from phenols using sulfuryl fluoride SO2F2 as a low-cost sulfonyl fluoride provider. Recently, they served as less toxic and more atom economical alternatives to triflates in an impressive number of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom cross-coupling reactions. In this review, we summarize the current advances and developments in applying aryl fluorosulfates as electrophilic partners in cross-coupling reactions.
ABSTRACT
Infections caused by resistant bacterial pathogens have increased the complications of clinicians worldwide. The quest for effective antibacterial agents against resistant pathogens has prompted researchers to develop new classes of antibiotics. Unfortunately, pathogens have acted more smartly by developing resistance to even the newest class of antibiotics with time. The culture sensitivity analysis of the clinical samples revealed that pathogens are gaining resistance toward the new generations of cephalosporins at a very fast rate globally. The current study developed gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that could efficiently deliver the 2nd (cefotetan-CT) and 3rd (cefixime-CX) generation cephalosporins to resistant clinical pathogens. In fact, both CT and CX were used to reduce and stabilize AuNPs by applying a one-pot synthesis approach, and their characterization was performed via spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy. Moreover, the synthesized AuNPs were tested against uro-pathogenic resistant clinical strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. CT-AuNPs characteristic SPR peak was observed at 542 nm, and CX-AuNPs showed the same at 522 nm. The stability measurement showed ζ potential as -24.9 mV and -25.2 mV for CT-AuNPs and CX-AuNPs, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the spherical shape of both the AuNPs, whereas, the size by transmission electron microscopy for CT-AuNPs and CX-AuNPs were estimated to be 45 ± 19 nm and 35 ± 17 nm, respectively. Importantly, once loaded onto AuNPs, both the cephalosporin antibiotics become extremely potent against the resistant strains of E. coli and K. pneumoniae with MIC50 in the range of 0.5 to 0.8 µg/mL. The findings propose that old-generation unresponsive antibiotics could be revived into potent nano-antibiotics via AuNPs. Thus, investing efforts, intellect, time and funds for a nano-antibiotic strategy might be a better approach to overcome resistance than investing the same in the development of newer antibiotic molecule(s).
ABSTRACT
China used to be the world's leading nation in terms of international (outward) tourism till the COVID-19 outbreak. However, due to the COVID-19 crisis, several new macro and micro-level factors might affect their international (outward) traveling behavior. The purpose of the current research was to examine the avoidance of international traveling for leisure in the Chinese population. The goal of the study was to highlight the importance of information self-efficacy and digital literacy as the key factors influencing tourists' traveling readiness. To achieve the goal, the study adapted the quantitative instruments from existing sources to map media exhaustion, information overload, and perceived health concerns, i.e., perceived effectiveness of health-protective measures, fear of new possible outbreaks, and pandemic crisis at source and destination. Chinese citizens' opinions were collected during the third quarter of the year 2022. Specifically, the quantitative survey from China collected a total number of 1308 respondents. This study used the statistical analysis software SPSS to analyze collected data. The findings conclude that the role of media is pivotal to shaping and predicting future trends in tourism preferences, perception of protective measures against COVID-19, and perceived seriousness of the pandemic crisis in the Chinese population. In addition, technology readiness (as hard self-efficacy) and health-related information literacy (soft self-efficacy) are critical to cope with the dark aspects of information exhaustion, overload, and pandemic seriousness in the post-truth era. The study is unique, as it examines the role of the seriousness of the pandemic at its source and destination and fear of new outbreaks simultaneously, underlining the potential future of immersive tourism (i.e., virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality-based tourism). This study has drawn interesting theoretical and practical implications for researchers, policymakers, and academicians.
ABSTRACT
Melatonin influences mammalian coat colour and hair follicle pigmentation and also weakly alters the electrical stimulation of retinal cells in the eyes. A direct melanocytic response to melatonin is still uncertain in mammals and human skin pigmentation. Melatonin acts as a free radical scavenger and thus inhibits the initiation of cancer cell growth. Treatment of melanoma sees perspective features in the administration of melatonin along with known chemotherapeutic molecules to improve the efficacy of conventional cytotoxic agents. Being richly supplied with a variety of receptors, melanocytes and melanoma cells can be used as in vitro test models for pharmacological applications of known and novel drugs.

Novel Ag3VO4/KIT-6 nanocomposite photocatalyst has been successfully fabricated by a newly-designed simple hard-template induction process, in which the particles of Ag3VO4 were grown on the KIT-6 surface and inside the porous framework of the silica matrix. The developed porous framework nanocomposite was characterized by several techniques including N2-Physiosorption analysis. The obtained nanocomposite revealed a high surface area (273.86 m2/g) along with the possession of monoclinic Ag3VO4, which is highly responsive to visible light (with distinct intensity at about 700 nm). The UV-Vis DRS reveals that the Ag3VO4/KIT-6 photocatalyst bears a bandgap of 2.29 eV which confirms that the material has a good visible light response. The synthesized nanocomposite was tested for its superior physicochemical properties by evaluating its degradation efficiency for Congo Red (CR). The novel composite exhibited superior degradation capability of CR, reaching up to 96.49%, which was around three times the pure Ag3VO4. The detailed kinetic study revealed that the as-prepared material followed a pseudo first order kinetic model for the CR degradation. The study includes a comprehensive parametric study for the formulation of the optimized reaction conditions for photocatalytic reactions. The commercial applicability of the composite material was investigated by a regeneration and recyclability test, which revealed extraordinary results. Furthermore, the possible degradation pathway for CR was also proposed.
