SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being ,Medicine (all) - Abstract
Made available in DSpace on 2018-11-26T20:04:45Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-12-16 Wellcome Trust AstraZeneca Background Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults. Methods We pooled 2416 population-based studies with measurements of height and weight on 128.9 million participants aged 5 years and older, including 31.5 million aged 5-19 years. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2016 in 200 countries for mean BMI and for prevalence of BMI in the following categories for children and adolescents aged 5-19 years: more than 2 SD below the median of the WHO growth reference for children and adolescents (referred to as moderate and severe underweight hereafter), 2 SD to more than 1 SD below the median (mild underweight), 1 SD below the median to 1 SD above the median (healthy weight), more than 1 SD to 2 SD above the median (overweight but not obese), and more than 2 SD above the median (obesity). Findings Regional change in age-standardised mean BMI in girls from 1975 to 2016 ranged from virtually no change (-0.01 kg/m (2) per decade; 95% credible interval -0.42 to 0.39, posterior probability [PP] of the observed decrease being a true decrease= 0.5098) in eastern Europe to an increase of 1.00 kg/m(2) per decade (0.69-1.35, PP> 0.9999) in central Latin America and an increase of 0.95 kg/m (2) per decade (0.64-1.25, PP> 0.9999) in Polynesia and Micronesia. The range for boys was from a non-significant increase of 0.09 kg/m(2) per decade (-0.33 to 0.49, PP= 0.6926) in eastern Europe to an increase of 0.77 kg/m (2) per decade (0.50-1.06, PP> 0.9999) in Polynesia and Micronesia. Trends in mean BMI have recently flattened in northwestern Europe and the high-income English-speaking and Asia-Pacific regions for both sexes, southwestern Europe for boys, and central and Andean Latin America for girls. By contrast, the rise in BMI has accelerated in east and south Asia for both sexes, and southeast Asia for boys. Global age-standardised prevalence of obesity increased from 0.7% (0.4-1.2) in 1975 to 5.6% (4.8-6.5) in 2016 in girls, and from 0.9% (0.5-1.3) in 1975 to 7.8% (6.7-9.1) in 2016 in boys; the prevalence of moderate and severe underweight decreased from 9.2% (6.0-12.9) in 1975 to 8.4% (6.8-10.1) in 2016 in girls and from 14.8% (10.4-19.5) in 1975 to 12.4% (10.3-14.5) in 2016 in boys. Prevalence of moderate and severe underweight was highest in India, at 22.7% (16.7-29.6) among girls and 30.7% (23.5-38.0) among boys. Prevalence of obesity was more than 30% in girls in Nauru, the Cook Islands, and Palau; and boys in the Cook Islands, Nauru, Palau, Niue, and American Samoa in 2016. Prevalence of obesity was about 20% or more in several countries in Polynesia and Micronesia, the Middle East and north Africa, the Caribbean, and the USA. In 2016, 75 (44-117) million girls and 117 (70-178) million boys worldwide were moderately or severely underweight. In the same year, 50 (24-89) million girls and 74 (39-125) million boys worldwide were obese. Interpretation The rising trends in children's and adolescents' BMI have plateaued in many high-income countries, albeit at high levels, but have accelerated in parts of Asia, with trends no longer correlated with those of adults.

Background Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, and number of people with, raised blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. Methods For this analysis, we pooled national, subnational, or community population-based studies that had measured blood pressure in adults aged 18 years and older. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2015 in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of raised blood pressure for 200 countries. We calculated the contributions of changes in prevalence versus population growth and ageing to the increase in the number of adults with raised blood pressure. Findings We pooled 1479 studies that had measured the blood pressures of 19.1 million adults. Global age-standardised mean systolic blood pressure in 2015 was 127.0 mm Hg (95% credible interval 125.7-128.3) in men and 122.3 mm Hg (121.0-123.6) in women; age-standardised mean diastolic blood pressure was 78.7 mm Hg (77.9-79.5) for men and 76.7 mm Hg (75.9-77.6) for women. Global age-standardised prevalence of raised blood pressure was 24.1% (21.4-27.1) in men and 20.1% (17.8-22.5) in women in 2015. Mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure decreased substantially from 1975 to 2015 in high-income western and Asia Pacific countries, moving these countries from having some of the highest worldwide blood pressure in 1975 to the lowest in 2015. Mean blood pressure also decreased in women in central and eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and, more recently, central Asia, Middle East, and north Africa, but the estimated trends in these super-regions had larger uncertainty than in high-income super-regions. By contrast, mean blood pressure might have increased in east and southeast Asia, south Asia, Oceania, and sub-Saharan Africa. In 2015, central and eastern Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, and south Asia had the highest blood pressure levels. Prevalence of raised blood pressure decreased in high-income and some middle-income countries; it remained unchanged elsewhere. The number of adults with raised blood pressure increased from 594 million in 1975 to 1.13 billion in 2015, with the increase largely in low-income and middle-income countries. The global increase in the number of adults with raised blood pressure is a net effect of increase due to population growth and ageing, and decrease due to declining age-specific prevalence. Interpretation During the past four decades, the highest worldwide blood pressure levels have shifted from high-income countries to low-income countries in south Asia and sub-Saharan Africa due to opposite trends, while blood pressure has been persistently high in central and eastern Europe.

Background One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. Methods We pooled data from population-based studies that had collected data on diabetes through measurement of its biomarkers. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in diabetes prevalence-defined as fasting plasma glucose of 7.0 mmol/L or higher, or history of diagnosis with diabetes, or use of insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs-in 200 countries and territories in 21 regions, by sex and from 1980 to 2014. We also calculated the posterior probability of meeting the global diabetes target if post-2000 trends continue. Findings We used data from 751 studies including 4 372 000 adults from 146 of the 200 countries we make estimates for. Global age-standardised diabetes prevalence increased from 4.3% (95% credible interval 2.4-7.0) in 1980 to 9.0% (7.2-11.1) in 2014 in men, and from 5.0% (2.9-7.9) to 7.9% (6.4-9.7) in women. The number of adults with diabetes in the world increased from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 (28.5% due to the rise in prevalence, 39.7% due to population growth and ageing, and 31.8% due to interaction of these two factors). Age-standardised adult diabetes prevalence in 2014 was lowest in northwestern Europe, and highest in Polynesia and Micronesia, at nearly 25%, followed by Melanesia and the Middle East and north Africa. Between 1980 and 2014 there was little change in age-standardised diabetes prevalence in adult women in continental western Europe, although crude prevalence rose because of ageing of the population. By contrast, age-standardised adult prevalence rose by 15 percentage points in men and women in Polynesia and Micronesia. In 2014, American Samoa had the highest national prevalence of diabetes (>30% in both sexes), with age-standardised adult prevalence also higher than 25% in some other islands in Polynesia and Micronesia. If post-2000 trends continue, the probability of meeting the global target of halting the rise in the prevalence of diabetes by 2025 at the 2010 level worldwide is lower than 1% for men and is 1% for women. Only nine countries for men and 29 countries for women, mostly in western Europe, have a 50% or higher probability of meeting the global target. Interpretation Since 1980, age-standardised diabetes prevalence in adults has increased, or at best remained unchanged, in every country. Together with population growth and ageing, this rise has led to a near quadrupling of the number of adults with diabetes worldwide. The burden of diabetes, both in terms of prevalence and number of adults affected, has increased faster in low-income and middle-income countries than in high-income countries.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Diabetes has been defined on the basis of different biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c. We assessed the effect of different diagnostic definitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classification of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabetes in a pooled analysis of data from population-based health examination surveys in different regions. METHODS: We used data from 96 population-based health examination surveys that had measured at least two of the biomarkers used for defining diabetes. Diabetes was defined using HbA1c (HbA1c ≥6·5% or history of diabetes diagnosis or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs) compared with either FPG only or FPG-or-2hOGTT definitions (FPG ≥7·0 mmol/L or 2hOGTT ≥11·1 mmol/L or history of diabetes or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs). We calculated diabetes prevalence, taking into account complex survey design and survey sample weights. We compared the prevalences of diabetes using different definitions graphically and by regression analyses. We calculated sensitivity and specificity of diabetes diagnosis based on HbA1c compared with diagnosis based on glucose among previously undiagnosed individuals (ie, excluding those with history of diabetes or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs). We calculated sensitivity and specificity in each survey, and then pooled results using a random-effects model. We assessed the sources of heterogeneity of sensitivity by meta-regressions for study characteristics selected a priori. FINDINGS: Population prevalence of diabetes based on FPG-or-2hOGTT was correlated with prevalence based on FPG alone (r=0·98), but was higher by 2-6 percentage points at different prevalence levels. Prevalence based on HbA1c was lower than prevalence based on FPG in 42·8% of age-sex-survey groups and higher in another 41·6%; in the other 15·6%, the two

Diabetes was defined using HbA1c (HbA1c ≥6·5% or history of diabetes diagnosis or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs) compared with either FPG only or FPG-or-2hOGTT definitions (FPG ≥7·0 mmol/L or 2hOGTT ≥11·1 mmol/L or history of diabetes or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs). We calculated diabetes prevalence, taking into account complex survey design and survey sample weights. We compared the prevalences of diabetes using different definitions graphically and by regression analyses. We calculated sensitivity and specificity of diabetes diagnosis based on HbA1c compared with diagnosis based on glucose among previously undiagnosed individuals (ie, excluding those with history of diabetes or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs). We calculated sensitivity and specificity in each survey, and then pooled results using a random-effects model. We assessed the sources of heterogeneity of sensitivity by meta-regressions for study characteristics selected a priori. Findings Population prevalence of diabetes based on FPG-or-2hOGTT was correlated with prevalence based on FPG alone (r=0·98), but was higher by 2–6 percentage points at different prevalence levels. Prevalence based on HbA1c was lower than prevalence based on FPG in 42·8% of age–sex–survey groups and higher in another 41·6%; in the other 15·6%, the two de

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has been shown to be present in a variety of cell types, and nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in a multitude of biological functions. The purpose of this review is twofold: (1) to provide a comprehensive table of cell types that produce NO together with the effects of agents used to study iNOS regulation, as a ready reference for the investigators in the field; and (2) to summarize recent observations dealing with iNOS signal transduction mechanisms. Initially, the major regulation of NO production was believed to occur at the transcription step, but now it is recognized that NO regulation can occur at the transcriptional, posttranscriptional, translational, and posttranslational level. There have been a number of studies of the regulation of iNOS in various cell types, often yielding conflicting results. The major emphasis of this review is on iNOS signal transduction mechanisms. For example, the role of JAK kinases and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases in iNOS regulation is elaborated. In addition, species differences in the iNOS promoter region and the role of RNA structure in iNOS expression is discussed. The role MAP kinases play in translational regulation in addition to transcriptional regulation is emphasized. An analysis of the current data and suggestions for future studies are also presented.

The chronic administration of disulfiram (DS) to rats resulted in significant decrease of synaptosomal Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase activity. In vitro studies indicated that DS (ID50 = 20 microM) produced a dose-dependent inhibition of Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase. However, diethyldithio-carbamate, a metabolite of DS, failed to modify Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase activity, implying that the decrease in ATPase activity in DS administered rats was due to the effect of parent compound. The DS-mediated inhibition (48%) of ATPase activity was comparable with a similar degree of inhibition (49%) achieved by treating the synaptosomal membranes with N-ethylmaleimide (ID50 = 20 microM) in vitro. Furthermore, the inhibition by DS was neither altered by washing the membranes with EGTA nor reversed by treatment with sulfhydryl reagents such as GSH or dithiothreitol. About 74% and 68% decrease of synaptosomal Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase specific activity was observed when treated with DS (30 microM) and EGTA (100 microM) respectively. The remaining 25-30% of total activity is suggested to be of Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity. This indicates that both these drugs may act on a common target, calmodulin component that represents 70-75% of total Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase activity. Therefore, DS-mediated modulation of synaptosomal Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase activity could affect its function of maintaining intracellular Ca2+ concentration. This could contribute to the deleterious effects on CNS.

23. Cooperative effect of tumor necrosis factor and gamma-interferon on chemotactic peptide receptor expression and stimulus-induced actin polymerization in HL-60 cells

- Abstract
We studied the effect of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), alone and in combination, on the expression of chemotactic peptide receptors, stimulus-induced actin polymerization, hydrogen peroxide production (H2O2), and expression of nonspecific esterase (NSE) positivity in human promyelocytic leukemic cell line HL- 60. These parameters were analyzed following a five-day culture with the cytokines. Chemotactic peptide receptor expression was studied using the fluoresceinated hexapeptide, formyl-norleucyl-leucyl- phenylalanyl-norleucyl-tyrosyl-lysine and flow cytometry. Actin polymerization, an important event required for chemotaxis and phagocytosis, was studied using NBD-phallacidin labeling, following stimulation with the chemotactic peptide formyl-methionyl-leucyl- phenylalanine (FMLP) or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). TNF increased the expression of chemotactic peptide receptors in a dose-dependent fashion, and there was good correlation between the receptor expression, stimulus-induced actin polymerization, H2O2 production, and NSE positivity. IFN-gamma was less potent in inducing all the parameters studied but exerted a positive cooperative effect when combined with TNF. IFN-gamma at high concentrations induced chemotactic peptide receptors comparable in magnitude to that seen with TNF but failed to prime these cells to undergo actin polymerization in response to FMLP or PMA. Undifferentiated HL-60 cells showed a decrease in F- actin content on stimulation with PMA. This suggests that protein kinase C might have a negative regulatory role in stimulus-induced actin polymerization. The observations reported here indicate that appropriate combinations of different inducing agents with different modes of action might be necessary to duplicate the functional abilities of mature phagocytic cells.

Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities(.)(1,2) This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity(3-6). Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, regional and global trends in mean BMI segregated by place of residence (a rural or urban area) from 1985 to 2017. We show that, contrary to the dominant paradigm, more than 55% of the global rise in mean BMI from 1985 to 2017-and more than 80% in some low- and middle-income regions-was due to increases in BMI in rural areas. This large contribution stems from the fact that, with the exception of women in sub-Saharan Africa, BMI is increasing at the same rate or faster in rural areas than in cities in low- and middle-income regions. These trends have in turn resulted in a closing-and in some countries reversal-of the gap in BMI between urban and rural areas in low- and middle-income countries, especially for women. In high-income and industrialized countries, we noted a persistently higher rural BMI, especially for women. There is an urgent need for an integrated approach to rural nutrition that enhances financial and physical access to healthy foods, to avoid replacing the rural undernutrition disadvantage in poor countries with a more general malnutrition disadvantage that entails excessive consumption of low-quality calories., This study was funded by the Wellcome Trust. H.B. was supported by a Medical Research Council Doctoral Training Partnership Studentship, J.B. by a Royal Society Research Grant, and M.D.C. by an Academy of Medical Sciences Springboard Award.

Article, Being taller is associated with enhanced longevity, and higher education and earnings. We reanalysed 1472 population-based studies, with measurement of height on more than 18.6 million participants to estimate mean height for people born between 1896 and 1996 in 200 countries. The largest gain in adult height over the past century has occurred in South Korean women and Iranian men, who became 20.2 cm (95% credible interval 17.5–22.7) and 16.5 cm (13.3–19.7) taller, respectively. In contrast, there was little change in adult height in some sub-Saharan African countries and in South Asia over the century of analysis. The tallest people over these 100 years are men born in the Netherlands in the last quarter of 20th century, whose average heights surpassed 182.5 cm, and the shortest were women born in Guatemala in 1896 (140.3 cm; 135.8–144.8). The height differential between the tallest and shortest populations was 19-20 cm a century ago, and has remained the same for women and increased for men a century later despite substantial changes in the ranking of countries., published version, http://purl.org/eprint/status/PeerReviewed

- Abstract
This study investigates nanocomposite hydrogels reinforced with hyaluronan-quercetin‑silver nanoparticles intercalated halloysite clay (HAQ-Hal-Ag) for potential application as wound dressings. HAQ-Hal-Ag (at 1, 3, and 5 wt%) was incorporated into a fungal carboxymethyl chitosan (FC)/polyacrylamide (PAM) network (FC-PAM) using methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) as the crosslinker and ammonium persulfate (APS) as the initiator. Various physicochemical analyses were performed to characterize the resulting hydrogels. The compressive strength of the nanocomposite hydrogels exhibited a proportional increase with increasing HAQ-Hal-Ag content, reaching a remarkable 0.83 MPa for hydrogels containing 5 wt% HAQ-Hal-Ag. Additionally, the hydrogels displayed highly porous structures with excellent swelling capacity. Importantly, they exhibited exceptional antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, cytotoxicity assays revealed high cell viability and proliferation rates, confirming the biocompatibility of these hydrogels with human dermal fibroblasts. These findings suggest significant promise for the nanocomposite hydrogels as wound dressing materials due to their outstanding biocompatibility, impressive compressive strength, and potent antibacterial activity., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024.

- Abstract
The use of sustainable natural sources to fabricate porous carbon materials has garnered significant interest in energy storage. This study proposes a method for synthesizing sulfur-doped porous carbon (S‑carbon) materials via the carbonization of bacterial cellulose (BC) impregnated with sodium lignosulfonate (LS), which functions as a renewable source of both carbon and sulfur, eliminating the need for external activation processes. The carbonization process yielded S‑carbon with a notable sulfur content of 1.4 % and a high specific surface area of 650 m
2 /g. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images reveal fibrous carbon structures with mesopores and micropores in the S‑carbon material. Electrochemically, S‑carbon exhibited an impressive specific capacitance of 272.6 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A/g and demonstrated outstanding cycling stability, retaining 86 % of its capacitance after 5000 cycles at a current density of 6 A/g in a 3 M KOH electrolyte. The development of sulfur-doped fibrous carbon from BC-LS offers promising potential as a sustainable electrode material for supercapacitors., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

30. Derivatization of Hyaluronan to Target Neuroblastoma and Neuroglioma Expressing CD44.

- Abstract
Therapeutics for actively targeting over-expressed receptors are of great interest because the majority of diseased tissues originate from normal cells and do not possess a unique receptor from which they can be differentiated. One such receptor is CD44, which has been shown to be highly overexpressed in many breast cancers and other types of cancer cells. While CD44 has been documented to express low levels in normal adult neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, this receptor may be overexpressed by neuroblastoma and neuroglioma. If differential expression exists between normal and cancerous cells, hyaluronan (HA) could be a useful carrier that targets carcinomas. Thus, HA was conjugated with resveratrol (HA-R), and its efficacy was tested on cortical-neuroblastoma hybrid, neuroblastoma, and neuroglioma cells. Confocal and flow cytometry showed these cells express CD44 and are able to bind and uptake HA-R. The toxicity of HA-R correlated well with CD44 expression in this study. Therefore, conjugating resveratrol and other chemotherapeutics to HA could minimize the side effects for normal cells within the brain and nervous system and could be a viable strategy for developing targeted therapies.

- Abstract
In this study, a simple approach was used for the synthesis of a water-soluble hyaluronic acid-quercetin (HA-Q) pendant drug conjugate to evaluate its potential wound-healing properties. The HA-Q conjugation was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques. To produce the HA-Q, quercetin was conjugated on the HA backbone to the extent of 44.7 %. The HA-Q conjugate was soluble in water and a solution with a concentration of 20 mg/ml was prepared. The conjugate exhibited good biocompatibility and supported the growth and cell migration of skin fibroblast cells. HA-Q presented improved radical scavenging capacity compared to quercetin (Q) alone. The overall results confirmed the potential role of HA-Q in wound healing applications., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Scaffolds suitable for use in food products are essential in cultured meat production. Simultaneously, efforts are being undertaken to strengthen the scaffolding to improve cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue formation. Muscle cells proliferate and differentiate according to the directional patterns of the scaffold, similar to natural tissue and native muscle tissue. Therefore, establishing an aligned pattern in the scaffolding architecture is vital for cultured meat applications. Recent studies on the fabrication of scaffolds with aligned porosity structures and their utility in manufacturing cultured meat are highlighted in this review. In addition, the directional growth of muscle cells in terms of proliferation and differentiation has also been explored, along with the aligned scaffolding architectures. The aligned porosity architecture of the scaffolds supports the texture and quality of meat-like structures. Although it is difficult to build adequate scaffolds for culturing meat manufactured from diverse biopolymers, it is necessary to develop novel methods to create aligned scaffolding structures. Furthermore, to avoid animal slaughter in the future, it will be imperative to adopt non-animal-based biomaterials, growth factors, and serum-free media conditions for quality meat production., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

33. Tissue Adhesive, Biocompatible, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Hydrogels Based on Tannic Acid and Fungal-Derived Carboxymethyl Chitosan for Wound-Dressing Applications.

Rao KM, Uthappa UT, Kim HJ, and Han SS
- Abstract
This study aimed to develop hydrogels for tissue adhesion that are biocompatible, antioxidant, and antibacterial. We achieved this by using tannic acid (TA) and fungal-derived carboxymethyl chitosan (FCMCS) incorporated in a polyacrylamide (PAM) network using free-radical polymerization. The concentration of TA greatly influenced the physicochemical and biological properties of the hydrogels. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the nanoporous structure of the FCMCS hydrogel was retained with the addition of TA, resulting in a nanoporous surface structure. Equilibrium-swelling experiments revealed that increasing the concentration of TA significantly improved water uptake capacity. Antioxidant radical-scavenging assays and porcine skin adhesion tests confirmed the excellent adhesive properties of the hydrogels, with adhesion strengths of up to 39.8 ± 1.2 kPa for 1.0TA-FCMCS due to the presence of abundant phenolic groups on TA. The hydrogels were also found to be biocompatible with skin fibroblast cells. Furthermore, the presence of TA significantly enhanced the antibacterial properties of the hydrogels against both Gram-positive ( Staphylococcus aureus ) and Gram-negative ( Escherichia coli ) bacteria. Therefore, the developed drug-free antibacterial and tissue-adhesive hydrogels can potentially be used as wound dressings for infected wounds.

- Abstract
Cell-cultured meat, which is artificial meat made by in vitro cultivation of animal-derived cells, has attracted a lot of interest as a potential source of protein in the future. Porous hydrogels are crucial components that can be used as an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) to provide cell growth for generating cultured meat. In this study, we highlight the effects of grape seed extract (proanthocyanidins, PC) on the physicochemical and biological functions (bovine satellite muscle cell (BSC) growth and adhesion) of an edible gelatin (GL)-based hydrogel. The freeze-dried hydrogels had good compressive characteristics with pore sizes ranging from 100 to 300 μm. BSCs were able to grow and attach to porous GL-PC hydrogels. These studies suggested that the developed hydrogels using edible materials and made by employing a low-cost method may serve in the cell growth of muscle cells for cultured meat applications.

- Abstract
This study examined the gel behavior of naturally-occurring palmyra palm kernel (PPK). Due to the presence of polysaccharide in PPK hydrogels, they exhibit excellent swelling behavior in response to pH. Chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was encapsulated in these gels using an equilibrium swelling technique. It was found that 5-FU had an encapsulation efficiency of up to 62%. To demonstrate the drug stability in the gels, the PPK hydrogels were characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the PPK hydrogel matrix contained molecularly dispersed 5-FU drug. The PPK hydrogel exhibited a denser structure and a rough surface, according to images obtained by scanning electron microscopy. In vitro release tests were carried out at pH 1.2 (gastric fluid) and 7.4 (intestinal fluid). The efficacy of the encapsulation and the release patterns were influenced by the network topology of the PPK hydrogel. The release patterns showed that 5-FU was released gradually over a time internal of more than 12 h. The findings suggest that naturally-occurring PPK hydrogels loaded with chemotherapeutic drugs could be employed to treat colon cancer.

- Abstract
Precise energies and relative intensities of gamma transitions and conversion electrons in the electron capture decay of
153 Gd have been determined independently with our well-tested and optimized gamma and electron spectrometers - a large-volume (60 cc) HPGe detector and a mini-orange electron transporter paired to a Si(Li) detector, respectively. The experimental internal conversion coefficients of the gamma transitions in153 Eu have been determined using Normalized Peak to Gamma method and compared with the theoretical values adopted by Nuclear Data Sheets to assign multipolarities of all the transitions. The precise internal conversion electron intensities of the low energy transitions can be used as standards for calibration purposes of electron detectors and spectrometers., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
To assess the common presentation and extent of disease involvement clinically and radiologically and treatment modalities, sequalae of the disease, complications and treatment response. Mucormycosis is a life-threatening infection that most commonly affects immunocompromised individuals and an exponential increase in the incidence of Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis was witnessed in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite aggressive multimodal treatment carries a significant risk of mortality. A high index of suspicion is required in order to begin the appropriate diagnostic workup and treatment. This study is conducted to access the outcome and management of mucormycosis in post covid 19 patients. The prospective study includes 180 Patients, who are attending to E.N.T. outpatient department, Triage and patients referred from other departments who had suspected/confirmed Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis/underwent surgery and/or medical treatment or both. In our study mucormycosis predominantly affected age group between 40 and 60 years, more common in males (77.8%) than females (22.2%), 77.8% patients had post covid status. Most common risk factor was diabetes mellitus.76% patients had undergone endoscopic/open surgery and 24% patients underwent only medical treatment. Among 138 patients operated, 40% had recurrence and mortality was 16.1% (significantly reduced). Early diagnosis and prompt intervention is paramount to reduce morbidity and mortality. Liposomal Amphotericin B is most effective antifungal with manageable side effects. Patients who underwent Radical debridement either endoscopically or open approach, had better outcome with minimal recurrence rates. Combined medical and surgical treatment has better outcome, lesser recurrence and mortality., Competing Interests: Conflict of interestThe authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest to declare that are relevant to the contents of this article., (© Association of Otolaryngologists of India 2022, Springer Nature or its licensor holds exclusive rights to this article under a publishing agreement with the author(s) or other rightsholder(s); author self-archiving of the accepted manuscript version of this article is solely governed by the terms of such publishing agreement and applicable law.)

- Abstract
Background: Vitiligo is the most common depigmenting dermatosis causing immense psychosocial concern. When medical therapies fail to cause re-pigmentation, surgical modalities are developed to combat the same in stable vitiligo patients. Here we are comparing two such surgeries: smash skin grafting (SSG) and autologous non-cultured epidermal cell suspension (NCES)., Aims and Objectives: The aim of this article is to compare the efficacy of SSG and NCES in re-pigmentation of stable vitiligo and to know the feasibility of both the surgeries., Materials and Methods: It is an open, randomized, and prospective study conducted in dermatology outpatient department at a tertiary care center. Thirty patients with single stable vitiligo lesion were randomized into two groups: 15 each in Group A (SSG) and Group B (NCES). Following the surgery, excimer lamp phototherapy was initiated twice weekly. Patients were followed up till 16 weeks of surgery. Photo-documentation was done every month. Grading was performed for the response in the form of re-pigmentation as excellent (>75%), good (50-75%), fair (25-50%), and poor (<25%). The χ
2 test was used to analyze statistical significance., Results: Both the surgeries showed initial specks of re-pigmentation at 10-14 days post-surgery. Excellent response (>75% re-pigmentation) was observed in 10 (66.67%) patients in Group A and 9 (60%) patients in Group B. Both the surgeries showed equal response and uniform texture of re-pigmentation., Conclusion: SSG is equally effective when compared with NCES, in causing re-pigmentation. Also, SSG is simple, easy to perform, faster learning curve, less time-consuming, and cost-effective when compared with NCES., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2022 Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery.)- Published

- Abstract
In this work, fungal mushroom-derived carboxymethyl chitosan-polydopamine hydrogels (FCMCS-PDA) with multifunctionality (tissue adhesive, hemostasis, self-healing, and antibacterial properties) were developed for wound dressing applications. The hydrogel is obtained through dynamic Schiff base cross-linking and hydrogen bonds between FCMCS-PDA and covalently cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAM) networks. The FCMCS-PDA-PAM hydrogels have a good swelling ratio, biodegradable properties, excellent mechanical properties, and a highly interconnected porous structure with PDA microfibrils. Interestingly, the PDA microfibrils were formed along with FCMCS fibers in the hydrogel networks, which has a high impact on the biological performance of hydrogels. The maximum adhesion strength of the hydrogel to porcine skin was achieved at about 29.6 ± 2.9 kPa. The hydrogel had good self-healing and recoverable properties. The PDA-containing hydrogels show good antibacterial properties on Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) bacteria. Moreover, the adhesive hydrogels depicted good viability and attachment of skin fibroblasts and keratinocyte cells. Importantly, FCMCS and PDA combined resulted in fast blood coagulation within 60 s. Hence, the adhesive hydrogel with multifunctionality has excellent potential as a wound dressing material for infected wounds.

Rao KM, Suneetha M, Kumar DV, Kim HJ, Seok YJ, and Han SS
- Abstract
In this work, doxorubicin (Dox)-encapsulated poly(vinyl caprolactam) (PVCL)-based three-dimensional nanogel networks were developed and were crosslinked with disulfide linkages. The nanogels degrade rapidly to low molecular weight chains in the presence of the typical intracellular concentration of glutathione. Doxorubicin (Dox) was successfully encapsulated into these nanogels. The nanogels have a high drug loading of 49% and can be tailored to 182 nm to deliver themselves to the targeted cells and release Dox under dual stimuli conditions, such as redox and temperature. By evaluating cell viability in the HepG2 cell line, we observed that Dox-loaded nanogels effectively killed the cancer cell. Fluorescence microscopy results show that the nanogels could easily be internalized with HepG2 cells. The results confirm that the nanogels destabilized in intracellular cytosol via degradation of disulfide bonds in nanogels networks and release of the Dox nearby the nucleus. These carriers could be promising for cancer drug delivery.

- Abstract
Natural Strychnos potatorum L. (SPL) polysaccharide-based dual-responsive semi-IPN-type (SPL-DMA) hydrogels have been fabricated using dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate by simple free radical polymerization. Furthermore, a facial and eco-friendly method has been developed for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles on SPL-DMA hydrogel templates (SPL-DMA-Ag) using an aqueous leaf extract of Carissa spinarum (as a bioreducing agent). SPL-DMA and SPL-DMA-Ag were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and evaluated network parameters. 5-Fluorouracil and doxorubicin were successfully encapsulated, and in vitro drug release studies were performed at pH values of 1.2 and 7.4 and at 25 and 37 °C. To understand the drug release mechanism of SPL-DMA hydrogels, various kinetic parameters were calculated. Biocompatibility and anticancer activities of SPL-DMA hydrogels were proved by an antioxidant activity study and in vitro cell viability studies against HeLa and 3T3-L1 cell lines. SPL-DMA-Ag hydrogels were used for antibacterial application., Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing financial interest., (© 2022 The Authors. Published by American Chemical Society.)

- Abstract
The use of renewable energy sources as a substitute for nonrenewable fossil fuels is urgently required. Algae biorefinery platform provides an excellent alternate to overcome future energy problems. However, to let this viable biomass be competent with existing feedstocks, it is necessary to exploit genetic manipulation and improvement in upstream and downstream platforms for optimal bio-product recovery. Furthermore, the techno-economic strategies further maximize metabolites production for biofuel, biohydrogen, and other industrial applications. The experimental methodologies in algal photobioreactor promote high biomass production, enriched in lipid and starch content in limited environmental conditions. This review presents an optimization framework combining genetic manipulation methods to simulate microalgal growth dynamics, understand the complexity of algal biorefinery to scale up, and identify green strategies for techno-economic feasibility of algae for biomass conversion. Overall, the algal biorefinery opens up new possibilities for the valorization of algae biomass and the synthesis of various novel products., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
The sharp increase in the use of cellulose seems to be in increasing demand in wood; much more research related to sustainable or alternative materials is necessary as a lot of the arable land and natural resources use is unsustainable. In accordance, attention has focused on bacterial cellulose as a new functional material. It possesses a three-dimensional, gelatinous structure consisting of cellulose with mechanical and thermal properties. Moreover, while a plant-originated cellulose is composed of cellulose, hemi-cellulose, and lignin, bacterial cellulose attributable to the composition of a pure cellulose nanofiber mesh spun is not necessary in the elimination of other components. Moreover, due to its hydrophilic nature caused by binding water, consequently being a hydrogel as well as biocompatibility, it has only not only used in medical fields including artificial skin, cartilage, vessel, and wound dressing, but also in delivery; some products have even been commercialized. In addition, it is widely used in various technologies including food, paper, textile, electronic and electrical applications, and is being considered as a highly versatile green material with tremendous potential. However, many efforts have been conducted for the evolution of novel and sophisticated materials with environmental affinity, which accompany the empowerment and enhancement of specific properties. In this review article, we summarized only industry and research status regarding BC and contemplated its potential in the use of BC.

- Abstract
The purpose of this review article is to outline the extended applications of polyurethane (PU)-based nanocomposites incorporated with conductive polymeric particles as well as to condense an outline on the chemistry and fabrication of polyurethanes (PUs). Additionally, we discuss related research trends of PU-based conducting materials for EMI shielding, sensors, coating, films, and foams, in particular those from the past 10 years. PU is generally an electrical insulator and behaves as a dielectric material. The electrical conductivity of PU is imparted by the addition of metal nanoparticles, and increases with the enhancing aspect ratio and ordering in structure, as happens in the case of conducting polymer fibrils or reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Nanocomposites with good electrical conductivity exhibit noticeable changes based on the remarkable electric properties of nanomaterials such as graphene, RGO, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Recently, conducting polymers, including PANI, PPY, PTh, and their derivatives, have been popularly engaged as incorporated fillers into PU substrates. This review also discusses additional challenges and future-oriented perspectives combined with here-and-now practicableness.

- Abstract
In this paper, novel pH-responsive, semi-interpenetrating polymer hydrogels based on tamarind gum- co -poly(acrylamidoglycolic acid) (TMGA) polymers were synthesized using simple free radical polymerization in the presence of bis[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] phosphate as a crosslinker and potassium persulfate as a initiator. In addition, these hydrogels were used as templates for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (13.4 ± 3.6 nm in diameter, TMGA-Ag) by using leaf extract of Teminalia bellirica as a reducing agent. Swelling kinetics and the equilibrium swelling behavior of the TMGA hydrogels were investigated in various pH environments, and the maximum % of equilibrium swelling behavior observed was 2882 ± 1.2. The synthesized hydrogels and silver nanocomposites were characterized via UV, FTIR, XRD, SEM and TEM. TMGA and TMGA-Ag hydrogels were investigated to study the characteristics of drug delivery and antimicrobial study. Doxorubicin hydrochloride, a chemotherapeutic agent successfully encapsulated with maximum encapsulation efficiency, i.e., 69.20 ± 1.2, was used in in vitro release studies in pH physiological and gastric environments at 37 °C. The drug release behavior was examined with kinetic models such as zero-order, first-order, Higuchi, Hixson Crowell and Korsmeyer-Peppas. These release data were best fitted with the Korsemeyer-Peppas transport mechanism, with n = 0.91. The effects of treatment on HCT116 human colon cancer cells were assessed via cell viability and cell cycle analysis. The antimicrobial activity of TMGA-Ag hydrogels was studied against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia . Finally, the results demonstrate that TMGA and TMGA-Ag are promising candidates for anti-cancer drug delivery and the inactivation of pathogenic bacteria, respectively.

- Abstract
Multifunctional blend membranes composed of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and fungal mushroom-derived carboxymethyl chitosan (F-CMCS) were produced using a simple solution casting technique for wound dressing applications. The structural interactions between PVA and F-CMCS were confirmed by Fourier infrared spectroscopy. The crystallinity of the membranes was examined by X-ray diffraction. Field emission scanning electron microscopy confirmed the homogeneity and coarser texture with a porous-like network in the internal structure of the membranes. The hydrophilicity, swelling, and degradation of the fabricated membranes were examined according to the F-CMCS content. The PVA/F-CMCS membrane displayed potential antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (gram-negative) and Staphylococcus (gram-positive) bacteria. An in vitro cell study of skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes on the PVA/F-CMCS membranes confirmed the biocompatibility. The hemolysis assay demonstrated the hemocompatibility of the developed membranes. The antibacterial, biocompatibility, and good hemolysis in the PVA membrane were influenced by the F-CMCS composition ratio up to 40%. The all-inclusive properties of the PVA/F-CMCS membranes highlight its potential use in wound dressing applications., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
In this study, a simple method for the fabrication of highly diffusive, adsorptive and conductive eco-friendly polyelectrolyte membranes (PEMs) with sulfonate functionalized pectin and poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) was established. The graft-copolymers were synthesized by employing the use of potassium persulfate as a free radical initiator from pectin (PC), a carbohydrate polymer with 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulphonic acid (AMPS) and sodium 4-vinylbenzene sulphonate (SVBS). The PEMs were fabricated from the blends of pectin graft-copolymers (PC-g-AMPS and PC-g-SVBS) and PVA by using a solution casting method, followed by chemical crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. The composite PEMs were fabricated by mixing phosphomolybdic acid with the aforementioned blends. The PEMs were successfully characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDAX studies. They were assessed for the controlled release of an anti-cancer drug (5-fluorouracil) and the removal of toxic metal ions (Cu
2+ ) from aqueous media. Furthermore, the composite PEMs were evaluated for fuel cell application. The 5-fluorouracil release capacity of the PEMs was found to be 93% and 99.1% at 300 min in a phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7.4). The highest Cu2+ removal was observed at 206.7 and 190.1 mg/g. The phosphomolybdic acid-embedded PEMs showed superior methanol permeability, i.e., 6.83 × 10-5 , and 5.94 × 10-5, compared to the pristine PEMs. Furthermore, the same trend was observed for the proton conductivities, i.e., 13.77 × 10-3 , and 18.6 × 10-3 S/cm at 30 °C.- Published

- Abstract
Polyelectrolyte membranes (PEMs) are a novel type of material that is in high demand in health, energy and environmental sectors. If environmentally benign materials are created with biodegradable ones, PEMs can evolve into practical technology. In this work, we have fabricated environmentally safe and economic PEMs based on sulfonate grafted sodium alginate (SA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). In the first step, 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulphonic acid (AMPS) and sodium 4-vinylbenzene sulfonate (SVBS) are grafted on to SA by utilizing the simple free radical polymerization technique. Graft copolymers (SA-g-AMPS and SA-g-SVBS) were characterized by
1 H NMR, FTIR, XRD and DSC. In the second step, sulfonated SA was successfully blended with PVA to fabricate PEMs for the in vitro controlled release of 5-fluorouracil (anti-cancer drug) at pH 1.2 and 7.4 and to remove copper (II) ions from aqueous media. Moreover, phosphomolybdic acids (PMAs) incorporated with composite PEMs were developed to evaluate fuel cell characteristics, i.e., ion exchange capacity, oxidative stability, proton conductivity and methanol permeability. Fabricated PEMs are characterized by the FTIR, ATR-FTIR, XRD, SEM and EDAX. PMA was incorporated. PEMs demonstrated maximum encapsulation efficiency of 5FU, i.e., 78 ± 2.3%, and released the drug maximum in pH 7.4 buffer. The maximum Cu(II) removal was observed at 188.91 and 181.22 mg.g-1 . PMA incorporated with PEMs exhibited significant proton conductivity (59.23 and 45.66 mS/cm) and low methanol permeability (2.19 and 2.04 × 10-6 cm2 /s).- Published

- Abstract
Polymer-clay nanocomposite hydrogel films (PCNCHFs) were prepared from caboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar and nanosepiolite clay (0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.5% reinforcement) by treating thermally in a simple, rapid, and inexpensive route. The PCNCHFs and its 5-fluorouracil (FU)-loaded composites (PCNCHFs@FU) were tested for FU release and characterized by FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, DSC, and TGA analyses to investigate their structural, morphological, and thermal properties. The nanosepiolite-loaded polymer composites (PCNCHF1 to PCNCHF5) exhibited higher tensile strength than the pristine polymer hydrogel (PCNCHF0); consequently, the thermal properties (glass- and melting-transition) were improved. The PCNCHFs@FU demonstrated prolonged FU release at pH 7.4 for 32 h. The biocompatibility of PCNCHFs was tested against human skin fibroblast (CCDK) cells. The viability of cells exposed to all PCNCHFs was >95% after 72 h of culture. The live/dead assay show the proliferation of fibroblast cells, confirming the biocompatibility of the hydrogels. The pH-sensitive PCNCHFs@FU release could be suitable for drug release in cancer therapy, and the developed PCNCHFs may also be useful for tissue engineering, food packaging, and other biological applications., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2021.

This study investigated natural polymer-based stimuli-responsive hydrogels (TGIAVE) and their silver nanocomposites (TGIAVE-Ag). The hydrogels were composed of tragacanth gum, N-isopropyl acrylamide, and 2-(vinlyoxy) ethanol and were prepared via simple redox polymerization using N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide as a crosslinker and potassium persulfate as an initiator. The TGIAVE-Ag were synthesized via a green method involving an aqueous extract of Terminalia bellirica seeds. Structural, thermal, crystallinity, morphology, and size characteristics of the TGIAVE and TGIAVE-Ag were investigated by FTIR, UV-Vis, XRD, DSC, SEM, EDS, DLS, and TEM. To understand the physicochemical interaction and diffusion characteristics of TGIAVEs, network parameters such as zero-order, first-order, Hixson-Crowell, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer-Peppas values were calculated by assessing swelling data. TGIAVE hydrogels at pH 1.2 and 7.4 and temperatures of 25 and 37 °C may be used for time-dependent controlled release of 5-fluorouracil, an anticancer drug, TGIAVE-Ag may be applied for the inactivation of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare no competing financial interest., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
